COMMERCIAL CLUB HAS TWO
 KADISHAN TOTENS RESTORED

to murder his children. Under meath is the frog, while the lower figure is the ancient Thunder Bird.
 Known among tourists as the To- tenn Town, Wrangell is heir tra- ditionally, as well as popularity, to the great task of preserving for mankind these relics of a primitive people Twenty miles to the south of Wrangell lies the decay of Old town, the first Indian city on the Alaskan coast where totems were erected.
 When the Russians built Fort Wrangell over one hundred years ago, the Indians from Oldtown nov ed into the fort to escape the depre- dations of warning tribes. They brought with them their totem lore and from time to time erected to- tens here.
 The Commercial Club, through committee composed of Walter c. Waters, chairman, Leo Mccormack an H. P. Corser, is responsible for the work of preserving the Kadi- shan totems.
 Taeook, the Indian who made the totems oyer, is perhaps the best to- tenn carver now living. He was stationed with the Alaska totem ex- hibit at the Alaska-Yukon Exposi- ton in Seattle and also at the Pana- ma-Pacific Exposition at San Fran cisco.
 It is gratifying to know that steps are being taken to save the totems from the fate of decay, and that the legend of the Raven will be recalled and told for decades to come.

WRANGELL MAN INVENTs
 DEVICE FOR PROsPECT0Rs

A new invention by a Wrangell man which will undoubtedly become a signal success among prospeetors. is a hand power prospecting shovel for prospecting river and creek beds and pot holes.
 The inventor is George II. EJson and his invention is the result of his own experience as a prospeetor which brought him to the realiza- tion of the aeed of some small light weight device which would enable the prospector to scoop dirt or sand from teh bed of a creek and bring it to- the top without losing all or the greater of portion of it.
 The Edson device has strong cover which can be closed down tightly over the ssooper when the prospector is ready to lift his show el. Whatever dirt or sand there is in the scoop can then be brought safely to the top with no loss what. ever.
 The device is light and is no ex= tra burden to the prospeetor in his ramblings Up and down the creeks. A model of the new invention may be seen in the show window of the store of c. w. Russell.

Wrangell will have two attractive totem poles to invite the curiosity of visitors when the totems origi- nally standing in front of Chief Kadishans house. recently torn down to increase the available space in the mill yard, have been erected.
 These relies were very carefully lowered from their positions, placed on trucks and moved to sheltered quarters where they were carefully diagnosed and contamination nically called surgery wherever toes, wings, noses, or other conyen- tional features were needed, they were then given a generous coating of Portland cement to preserve and bring out the lineaments; and if nally, the mythological figures were repainted in characteristic colors.
 Each of these totems has a differ ent legend. The smaller one is copy of d dancing cane which was obtained from Edenso's people at Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands, and is very highly valued. From the top down the figures on the to- tenn are: an eagle holding two cop pers, Gonaqadet holding a copper, the frog. a sandhill crane, another frog, and a second Gonaqadet added to give height to the pole.
 The larger pole was erected by Kadishan's brother. At the top of this pole is perched the Creator ranked as the highest being in Thlinget mythology, with the Ra ven on his breast. Below is Lakit- eina. wearing a hat and the red snapper coat with which he used
