Bobbed hair may have some
thing to do with the Chinese

China during the first six months

department of commerce totalled
only $139,881 worth against

(. E. Weber l Died Last
 Saturday

c. E. Weber, longtime resident of Wrangell. passed away at the Wran- gell Hotel shortly after the noon hour Saturday, January 26, after an illness of about ten days. He was taken ill at his home and cared for by his neighbors until it was. found advisable to move him down town where some one could be with him constantly. All that could be done for his comfort was done by Wrangell Masons to which order he belonged and other friends, but he grew steadily worse and passed away quietly on Saturday in the presence of Judge Thomas and Mrs. J. C.. Grant. The high temperature that prevailed throughout his illness made lit necessary for the Community Nurse to be in attendance for several nights at the last and she was relieved dur ing the day by old-time friends who gave their services willingly.
 The deceased was about 57 years of age. He became a member of Har- mony Masonic Lodge, Washington. D. G., in February 1892. and was one of the many who came to this section in the days of '9S. He made trip up the Stikine shortly after his arri- val but made Wrangell his home and was identified with the business and industrial part of the country since that time. About fifteen years ago, he was married to Mrs. Matilda Ham, ilton whose death preceded his by only four months. In 1919-20, he was U. S. Commissioner for about a year in the absence of Wm. G. Thom- as who was visiting in the states. He was quiet and reserved in manner, a loyal friend and good neighbor. One of his last acts was his kindly assistance in caring for a neigh bor who was critically i'll.
 The funeral services at the Red men hall Monday at 2 o'clock were conducted by Dr. R. J. Diven assisted by Rs-r Corser and Staff Captain Carruthers. A choir sang Nearer My God to Thee" and Jesus Lover of My Soul" The Masons then took charge of the service. The body was accompanied to the cemetery by large number of friends and the beautiful and impressive Masonic burial service was used at the grave. The final resting place of the de- ceased was by the side of the wife who had preceded him by such a short time.

STAFF CAPTAIN HAYNES EXTENDS BEST WISHES

The Sentinel is in receipt of let ter from Staff Captain NJ. Jaynes who farewelled Wrangell last fall after being stationed here for nearly three years while he had charge of the Salvation Army work in the north. He is now superintendent of the Mems Social, Industrial and Relief Headquarters maintained by the Salvation Army in Victoria.
 Captain Jaynes writes that Mrs. Jaynes health is far from what the family would like 1t to but they hope that she will regain her strength and get back to normal condition again.
 The Captain expressed his pleas ure in remembering the many happy months the family spent in Wrangell and of their appreciation of the friendly spirit shown them here Through the columns of the Sentinel they wish to extend their best wishes to the Wrangell people.

MRS. BLANK HAS AN IDEA
 FOR THE CIVIC DANCE

Mrs. Blank looked troubled as she entered the home of Mrs. Wise.
 T haven't a minute to stay she said. but I do want to ask you if you are going to that Valentine Leap Yearbook affair that the Civic is giving the 14th. How can anyone dress like book? I'd like to know."
 Mrs. Wise laughed. Let me get you cup of tea" she said. "Of course. you can stay short time, anyway. There! It's all ready. Two Jumps, or three? Have one of these cookies. They are from an old re- cipe. You were asking about the dance. It's a very old idea, of course, but rather appropriate for library benefit and it isn't really so hard as lit sounds. Lots of titles suggest some idea that could be carried out in the costume Take the Mother Goose stories, for instance They are often published as separate books. There's Little Red Riding Hood-nothing easier for young girl. Louisa Alcott's Little Men and Little Women could be illustrated by groups of young people. Three young men dressed appropriately could go as the Three Musketeers. We saw it here in the movies not long ago. The Green Carnation that was popular long ago could easily be incorpora- | ted into costume; also Alcott's Rose in Bloom. One could cut out pictures of animals and paste onto an inexpensive foundation to sug- gest Wild Animals Have Known, or pictures of the presidents for Our Presidents"
 Msr Blank looked less worried. T think I see." she said. T have certainly enjoyed my tea and these cookies are wonderful. Where did you get the recipe?"
 "In this cook book" answered Mrs. Wise. 'I-"
 Cook Book, murmured Mrs. Blank. Then she laughed joyfully. Say" she said, "I'll dress my hus- band up as cook and give him a book to carry. He can go as a cook book! I guess I'll go after all to that fool dance. Goodby! Come over when you can."

HERBERT BRADLEY MAKING
 GOOD RECOVERY IN JUNEAU

James Bradley Is expected home on the Watson from Juneau where he took his son. Herbert, a month ago for medical treatment. Herbert has recovered from his serious illness and operation sufficiently to be able to sit up and to walk around little, but 1t will be some time, according to MT. Bradley, before he is permit ted to leave the hospital. Thomas Ukas, brother-in-law of Mir Bradley, is also at the hospital still and will remain for an indefinite time owing to the condition of his foot.

Local Sawmill to Become Lumber Manufacturing Plant With Capacity of Not Less Than
 One Hundred Thousand Feet Daily
Work Will Begin at Once on the Installation of New and Modern Machinery in Addition to
 That Already in Operation

Arrangements have been made whereby the sawmill of the Wilson X Sylvester Mill Company is to be- come a lumber manufacturing plant on large scale.
 The present mill will resume ope- ration next week, and at the same time work will begin on the installa- tion of new and modern machinery in addition to that already in opera tion. Within year the Wrangell mill will have a capacity of 1000 feet daily.
 cially interested in the mill, and as an indication that big things are not only planned but will be carried out, it may be stated that the mill has contracted with the US. Forest Ser vice for twenty years supply of tim- Der for mill cutting not less than 100000 feet daily.
 In this issue of the Sentinel there appears the advertisement of the Forest Service for the sale of one hundred million board feet of timber in two tracts within the vicinity of Wrangell. The adver- tisement is, of course, a matter of form. Some idea of the magnitude of the deal with the Forest Service is indicated by the fact that this first allotment of one hundred million feet represents less than one-tenth of the timber contracted for by the Wilson & Sylvester Mill Company. The tim- Der area set aside for the Wrangell mill contains at least a billion and a quarter board feet and perhaps con- siderable more.
 UnQer the progressive manage ment of H. w. Gartley the business of the Wrangell mill has been grow ing steadily for the past five years. During last season there were a number of export shipments to the United Kingdom. Before the new peo- pie became interested in the mill plans had already been made for a bigger cut in 1924 than in any pre- vious year.
 As an experiment, the residue of the mill. such as slabs and round

WrangeH Telephone Exchange Is Now
 Doing Business

The Wrangell Telephone Company of which J. K. Nevill is the manager, has begun actual operations. The phones are working fine and not the slightest trouble is experienced in hearing distinctly any message that is transmitted over phone.
 The telephone company starts out with a good list of subscribers which will doubtless be considerably in- creased within a short time.
 In addition to telephone service Manager Nevill will give the people free service in the matter of news concerning movements of boats. He has arranged with the U. s. cable office to get promptly all boat news that is available, and this may be obtained by calling up central. The central office is also prepared to give the correct time. This is ob- tained from Seattle daily by cable through the U. S. cable office.
 This new enterprise in Wrangell is monumest to the vision and per severance of J. K. Nevill, the mana ger. When he first began talking about telephone system for Wran- gell a few months ago he met with very little encouragement, but he had so much faith in the proposition himself that he went ahead and ob- tained franchise from the city, and today first class telephone system is in operation in Wrangell the same as in any other progressive town.

They are both experienced in restaurant work and will undoubtedly be very seccessful in their new business ven ture.

wood, will be shipped to pulp mill on Puget Sound.
 A new man in the company is John P. Van Orsdel, president and chief engineer of the John P. Van Orsdel Go. MT. Van Orsdel was for number of years connected with the J. D. Lacy Company, which is perhaps the best known cruising and timber estimating corporation on the continent. Two years ago MT. Van Orsdel visited Wrangell for the pur- pose of making a report on timber conditions in this vicinity for an eastern client.
 Mir Gartley made the acquaint- ance of MT. Van Orsdel at the time of his first visit to Wrangell, and has kept in touch with him since then with the result that he has now be- come financially interested in the mill.
 Mr. Van Orsdel arrived in Wran- gell on the Princess Mary Tuesday morning in company with H. W. Gartiey, J. G. Grant, and R. D.. lWhittlesy. The latter is timber expert from the offices of the John IP. Van Orsdel Company, and it is probable that his trips to Wrangell will not be infrequent.
 1 A Forest Service boat, with E. P. Clark captain, arrived here Monday evening. Forest Examiner J. B. Will .iams arrived from Juneau on the Curacao, and he and Messrs. Van Orsdel and Whittlesy have been out each day since their arrival cruising timber near town.

Several months ago the Wrangell Commercial Club petitioned the For est Service to have a representative stationed here The Club had in- tended writing another letter on this subject, but it is not probable now that any further effort in this direc- tion will be necessary, as the amount
 of business the Wrangell mill will have with the Forest Service in the future will undoubtedly make 1t
 necessary for a station to be estab- lished here.

He has begun operations on group of small islands and will raise foxes and Siberian hares. MT.
