POWER PERMIT
 FOR KETCHIkAN

Judging by the favorable com r1ent heard from businessmen, the best news received in Ketchikan for sometime was the announce ment that the Zellerbach paper in t1rests had applied for power per mits surrounding Ketchikan. It is realized that the fruition of the company's plans will mean the ex- ptnditure of several million dollars iG constructive work alone, aside from establishing large and steady payroll and creating ton mage for additional vessels thus meaning a greatly improved service.
 Heretofore it is pointed out, the tablishment of paper and pulp hills in Alaska has been mostly ''promoters' talk" (les majeste) but with the entry of the Hearst Syndicate for power permits in the Juneau section, and the Zellerbachs m the Ketchikan district with un- Limited means behind them, it is be- licved that the promotion stage has passed.

NEW SHEPARD

The Northern Machine Works of Ketchikan has let cvontract to A. w. Quist of Ketchikan, to build a shop 90 feet long; 90 feet high and SC feet feet wide. This is an addi- tion to it's shipyards at Charcoal Point
 The type of building called for is similar to the Petersburg Marine Ways, and this is called unique" in that boats under repair are und- der covered ways.
 Mihty nice for Ketchikan to have such a plant and no doubt Peters burg boats will be taken there for repairs and general overhauling. We send out boats to be repaired, and we send out and have boats tuilt that if contracts were let to local builders, 1t would at times add eiht to tenthousand dollars to local payrolls. Then We wonder why Pe- tersburg does not grow and wonder further as to why it is that other towns are stepping along and mak- ing faster progress. Every dollar spent in Petersburg is insuring it's growth. Every dollar spent in oth- er towns when it might as we'll be spent here retards the growth of the home town.

?. I. 4 PLANS
 GYMNASIUM

The Petersburg Parent-Teach- CT Association held its regular meeting last Wednesday evening, December the eighth. A large at tendance was noted due to the special interest created by the pie. ture contest among the different schoolrooms. Although the actual count was not made, evidence seem ed to point to the fact that the se' cond grade room held high honors.
 The organization considered hav- ing a basket social about the mid dle of January to raise funds for further improvement of the school grounds.
 The discussion of the erection of a gynasium resulted in the ap- pointment of a committee to can vas the matter, estimate the cost of each of the following plans: the erection of frame building ad- joining the present building with i gymnasium, shower baths, lock- CTS, etc., downstairs, which could . so be used for an auditorium with four or five additional class rooms upstairs-or the erection of gymnasium separate from the school building. fiji
 MT. Jack Schoettler was named chairman of the committee and he was given the privilege of naming ciher members to serve with him. The president requested that if pos sible the committee submit the plans and suggestions witA inc es- timated costs and the outnne for the financing of such colst uction at the next regular meeting of night was also voted to be chang ed to the first Wednesday of each n onth so as not to conflict with the Commercial Club meetings which are held on the secGnd and fourth Wednesdays. The next meet 1Eg will consequently be on We'd nesdey, January 5, 1927.

 REGULATIONS

The Juneau office of the Alaska Game Commission announces that a case was filed against Mrs. Fred Watson of Juneau, for serving veni- son to boarders in violation of the Alaska Game Law and Regulations. She entered plea of guilty Mo- vember 27 before U. S. Commission CT Paine and was fined $25.
 Executive Officer Ernest P. Walk CT ot the Commission states that , sale of game has so often led to it's extermination or near extermina- tion throughout the world that 1t .. has now become one of the basic principles of wild life protection to prevent sale and commercialization of game in any form. Mir. Walker also called attention
 to the fact that the deer season closed on November 30 instead of December 15 as has been the case for couple of years past. The sea- sop closed earlier this year as a re- lsult sof the recommendations sub mitted at the last annual meeting of the Commission by numerous parties in southeastern Alaska who
 were interested in maintaining the supply of deer.

FRANK REED REPLIES ID
 PACIFIC FISHERMAN ARTICLE

Editor Sentinel:
 I have just read an article in the Pacific Fisherman (pae 7 of the November issue) in regard to the herring situation.
 Now that the Pacific Fisherman ;.as had its say I should like to of fer few words in defense of the stand which the residents of the Territory have taken on this mat ter.
 h the first place the author of the article intimates that we are hollcrin before we are hurt. He asserts that no definite knowledge is available on the subject.
 Now lam troller, and I have been in the game since May, 1913, and I have fished Chatham Straits every year since that date. In 1916 and 1917 I was employed by the Alaska Herring and Sardine Co. of Fort Walter. Baranoff Island, and have made careful study of the herring and I Ind since 1916 the herring are getting scarcer every year. The season of 1925 the her ring were so scarce in Tebencoff Bay and Pillar Bay and all along the shores of Chatham Straits, l could not secure enough for bait In the gillnets which every one is equipped with: nets ranging from to AS fathoms long hung meas ure. (This year, 1926, there were periods of from one to two weeks at a time that W never saw her ring in Tebencoff and Pillar Bays 1ebencoff Bay is one of the princi- pal bays for rerring and salmon and halibut fishermen who will bear witness that these statements are true.
 There are now in the Territory of Alaska 19 herring rednuction rlants owned amid operated by non residents. They hire their crews both for their plants and fishing they are paid off outside also, which is no benefit at all to the residents of Alaska. These plants consumes on an average of 100 to 150 barrels of herring an hour and operating day and night it is amaz- ing tn amount of fish required to keep them going.
The Alaskan., 1926-12-10

Now in the Territory of Alaska tre1e are are some three thousand resident fishermen owning their own boats and gear, the valuation If boats and gear being over two thousand dollars each, and it is essentiol to those fishermen to thosefshermen tha the herring be left alone on the fishing ground which is the natural feeding plac- es for the king salmon and hali- but, for if the herring are taking the salmon and halibut will leave. and their families depend solely on the fish for their livlihood and at the rate that the herring have heen taken in the past ten years to saatisfy the reduction industry, ill two or three years at the most the fishing industry of Alaska is at an end; these three thousand men and their families are busted and the chief assets of our country have been destroyed. It is far bet ter to sacrifice the fertilizing in dust1y now than to sacrifice the fishing industry as a whole at the end of two or three years, which is sure to happen unless drastic IT easures be instituted to stop this wasteful method.
 Tn the Pacific Fisherman there is an article entitled: "Fish Oil for Edible purposes" I wonder if the author ever visited a herring reduc- :ron plant in operation. The fish are held in bins until decompositi- tion sets in as the oil will not se- parate until this stage is reached. Meantime the blow flies are swarm ing on the fish and when they go to the press they are a creeping, crawling mass of maggots which Jam sure are not fit for food for human consumption. If anyone doubts this statement just visit one or more of the plants situate ed on the shores of Alaska waters.
 Hoping you give this letter space in the columns of your most valuable paper so that the reading public may know the true condi- tions that exist, I am,
 Sincerely,

 CLUB MEETS

The Commercial Club held it's re- g,,iar gular session last Wednes- dey evening at the dinner hour in the Home Cafe.
 Steps were taken to ct the dredging of the mud flats netween the two docks here in the city en- tered into the budget Of the Rivers and Harbors Committed Appropri- ttions for presentment to the next Congress This work wuld greatly increase the ease withe which the large boats might dock and would be an added incentive to the fish ing craft to make Petersburg port of call
 Communication was received from the Alaska Steamship Com Iany and the first two copies of the monthly bulletin called Alas ka 1ravelogue" were received and inspected by the members of the Club. The plan of this publication h!ch is being distributed by all agents of the Alaska Steamship Company throughout the United l States and Canada is to publish pictures, views and printed matter of the various ports and great In- land Empire of Alaska. Striking views of Ketchikan and the Tongass Narrows and scenes between Seat tie and Alaska are shown in these mum bers.
 The Commercial Club took steps to provide pictures and data for the proper publicity and represent ation of Petersburg and the sur rounding communities with spe. cial stress upon the fact that this is the most protected harbor in Alas ka and that the country adjacent to Petersburg offers the best hunt. ing grounds in the Territory. These pictures and data will ap. pear in a subsequent edition of the pamphlet,

A tow line, stretching from log raft into deep water, today bore mute evidence of the spot where the steam tug Bahada exploded and sunk with her crew of nine early Sunday.
 She lies in 26O feet of water be- tween Huckleberry and Saddleback Islands.
 Coast and harbor boats were standing by, riding the swells and attempting to locate bodies.
 A boiler explosion is believed to have caused the accident.
 First evidence of the disaster was the discovery of the body of William Hansen, a deckhand, wearing a Ba- hada lifebelt. It had washed ashore On Samish Island, six miles away. Bits of wreckage were found on the hsscb on Jack Isand, five miles from the wreck Other wreckage was picped up on Saddlerock. It indi- ceted that the blast had demolished !he pilot house.
 An investigation haa been started to determine if possible whether the explosion of the tug followed col lhion. with another vessel. Coast guardsmen state that they recall hearing whistles about the time of the sinking of the vessel. 1t is reasoned that there would not have been time for the blowing of whis-

STAYS WIFE, TAKES OWN LIFE
Shanney ID. Townsend, of Near Sails
bury, Cuts Spouse With Hatchet

Shanney D. Townsend hacked his
wife to death with hatchet and kill
ed himself with a shotgun early Sat
urday night at their home in Fruit
land, near Salisbury, Md, as the eli
max to family differences which
reached a peak five weeks ago, when
Mrs. Townsend had her husband ar
rested for threatening to kill her. The
murder anr suicide occurred a few
minutes after Mrs. Townsend had re-
turned home from her work in a tea
room in Salisbury. She had intended
to obtain her clothing and to return
to Salisbury to live. "That's what I
am going to do to you some day."
Townsend threatened his wife five
weeks ago as, with a flourish of
large butcher knife, he severed the
neck of a pet squirrel. Townsend,
who was a carpenter, was arrested af-
ter his threat and was fined in police
court. The couple then separated
Their three children, Leila, II; Will
son, 13, and Evelyn, 16, remained with
their mother. AS Mrs. Townsend en-
tered the home of her stepmother,
Mrs. Ldia Pennewell, at Fruitland,
Saturday evening, she was followed
by her husband and a quarrel ensued.
Neighbors heard Townsend ask: "Do
you forgive me?" ayes, I forgave
you long ago." his wife replied. "Will
you let me come back again "NO,
never" A scuffle ensued and Town
send ran from the house with the
hatchet in his hand. He scaled a
fence and raced to his boarding house
a short distance away, throwing the
hatchet away as he ran. Going to
his room, he pressed a shotgun to his
head and fired both barrels. He died
instantly. Mrs. Townsend lived less
than fifteen minutes after the attack
A corOner's jury was summoned to
view the bodies and an inquest was
!ordered.
