CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR
 WINTER TRAVEL ON STIKINE

Harper Reed, former Canadian game warden, came down the Sti- kline from the Iskut the last of the week. MT. Reed reports that the Iskut region has experienced an ex- ceptionally severe winter. He says the fur catches as far as known have been small, but rather better quality than usual. After the snow is settled the animals will begin travelling on the surface again af- terd which normal catches may be expected.
 MT. Reed also reports a biologi- cal phenomena in that large num- bers of rabbits came down the riv- CT the first of February. This is the first time in history that there is known to have been a migration of rabbits down the Stikine in February. The rabbits came down almost to the mouth of the river.
 When asked concerning the con- dition of the river for winter trav- el MT. Reed said that no rain has fallen for two months and that at present it is good snowshoeing for men, but rather difficult for dogs to keep on the surface. He says the usual winter soft spell Is due and probably now at hand after which travelling by dog team will be better than during former years, owing to the solid condition of the river.

 The Club distributed at the Pa cific Livestock Exposition at Port land, Oregon. two thousand pieces of wrangell literature, which was another good boost for the town.
 Five thousand new folders have been forwarded to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Pacific and Alaska Steamship Companies.
 Recently the Club had the Low man & Hanford Company prepare a table album containing twelve large pictures of Wrangell and the Stikine River taken by Ed Andrews This album is now on display at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at Seattle.
 Two thousand maps of the Cassi- ar mining district were ordered from bowman & Hanford Company The map is of a suitable size to mail out with the Clubs latest ad- vertising folder which gives all necessary data on Wrangell, the Stikine river, and Northern British Columbia.
 Wrangell advertising literature is now being judiciously distributed through the Chambers of Commerce of the leading cities of the Pacific Coast, the Transportation Depart ment of the Alaska Railroad, and the Hudson's Bay Company of Van 1ouver and Victoria.
 During the past year we'll over 300 letters of inquiry have been answered by the secretary who enclosed advertising literature and copies of the Sentinel with the re- plies. While the requests for in- formation came from practically every state in the Union, the great est number from any one state were from Minnesota, with Wash ington a close second.

Net Proceeds ..S123. go
 The original plan of the manage ment was to raise s500.O0 for the Community Building fund from five Home Talent programs Four programs have already been pre- scented and s11O still remains to be raised. This is ten dollars more than the average figured for each but with spring coming on and business picking up the goal should be easily attained with continued community cooperation.
 It is altogether probable that the fifth lyceum program will not be given during the present month. It will not likely be ready before the eretta by school children and will be directed by Miss Nellie Hagerty, Miss Frances Steele, and Miss Grace Larkin. On account of the great amount of training requireed it will not likkely be ready before the second week in April.

Mistaken Impressions

Harry c. Watson, acting tourist agent for the Alaska Railroad states that the publicity given to the Nome diphtheria epidemic and the classic race of the dog teams against time to the stricken city has resulted in more mistaken im- pressions concerning Alaska. The average reader of the eastern news papers has gained the mental pie ture of land of perpetual ice and snow. with the inhabitants frozen in during the winter.

Through Wrangell Conner. cial Club During the
 Past Year
Financial Statement Shows What Club Has Been Able to Accom-. plish With Loyal Support of Bus mess Men and Cooperation of Other Organizations of Town.

On another page we publish a statement of the disbursements of the Wrangell Commercial Club dur. ing the past year.
 The statement is one that re- fleets great credit on the club and the town, and shows what can be accomplished through cooperation and team work.
 During the past year almost s2400 was disbursed through the Club for the betterment of the town. This would not have been possible in a place of this size had it not been for the spirit of coop eration on the part of the people generally as we'll as the moral and financial support of the various or ganizations of the town. A glance over the list of donations will show that the business men have contrib uted most literally, and that the Advertising Department received financial aid from the various or ganizations of the town, such as the Altar Society of the Catholic Church, Ladies' Aid of the Presby- terian church, St. Philips Guild, Womens Civic Club, Women's 8 Council, W.C.T.U., American Legion Auxiliary, Arctic Brotherhood, Moose Lodge. Redmen's Lodge, etc
 The most expensive undertaking of the year was in connection with the fisheries regulations. The Wran- gell District did not get everything the Club asked for, but the final re- suits were such very big improvement over what was origi- nally outlined for the Wrangell District that those who were the heaviest contributors were more than pleased with the manner in which the Commercial Club handled the matter.
 After s200O had already been raised and spent for various pur- poses there arose an urgent need for an extra cabin on the Stikine. It was impossible to get the Gov ernment to do anything in time for this winter. The Commercial Club got busy with a subscription list and in one day enough money was subscribed to insure the cabin be- ing built and equipped with a suit able stove.
 The Advertising Department made an exceptionally good showing dur the year. In April 5000 revised booklets. Come Up to Our Coun- try" were printed for the Club by bowman & Hanford Co.,, and dur ing the summer were distributed to the best advantage. This attractive booklet has been we'll received ev- anywhere.
 In the April and May numbers of the Alaska Pathfinder there were several we'll written articles on Wrangell and its attractions. The Club carried an advertisement in this magazine and also purchased and distributed 500 copies of the April and May editions. This maga- zine at the time had a circulation of approximately 10000, and through this channel WrangeIl re- ceived good publicity.
 Late in August interest arose over the gold discovery near Dease Lake. and it was deemed advisab ble to print some additional literature on Wrangell and the Stikine river country. An order was placed for 10000 pamphlets complete and 5000 pamphlets with one side

PROSECUTION DOUBTFUL.

OGDENSBURG. n Y, April .
Whether Geraldine Farrar will be
prosecuted as a result of the seizure
of liquor in her private car yesterday
at Rouses Point will depend upon the
circumstances. it was stated at the
offices of the collector of the port
here today. Rouses Point comes
within the jurisdiction of the og-
densburg collector.
The collector is awaiting reports
from his deputies. 1t was pointed
out however, that in cases Of persons
attempting to bring small stocks of
liquor into the country in their
baggage the usual procedure is mere
" to confiscate the contraband with
no prosecution unless the owner of
the liquor refuses to surrender 1t.

What of the future of radio, es-

Radio is a developing art, and no
one can unfold accurately it's future
possibilities" he went on. During
the past year radio pictures have been
transmitted across the Atlantic.
Across thousands of miles of space
radio has been harnessed to carry the
image of places and personages and
happenings. Here is another way
which has been found to localize the
news of the world"
Commercial transoceanic telephony
seems to be another possibility. The
radio experts are giving considerable
time to perfecting it, Radio dynam-
les and television, by which airships,
| submarines and moving motor cars
are controlled and directed, not from
within, but by radio impulse, also
seem to be fairly certain develop
ments in the near future. To lay
man this is an inspiring contempla-
tion in times of peace, but horribly
disquieting in war.
China Linked to United States.
Gen. Harboard was asked what is
the radio doing, if anything, TO aid

"A very great deal" he replied.
