Wrangellites Get
 Sweet Revenge

One of the largest crowds that eyer visited our town came over from Wrangell on the Hazel B. II, last Saturday night. After the To- cal fans were So kind as to give them one of the incest evenings ev- CT spent at Sales Inn, they were mean enough to trim the local team on the ball grounds Sunday afternoon. Not a very nice way to do, we think, nevertheless & jolly time was had by all.
 The Petersburg Band furnished music and inspiration for one of the hardest fought battles ever witnessed On the local diamond.
 The score stood two to nothing in favor of the Glacier Bugs up to the first of the sixth inning when an error at second, coupled with another error and wild throw, al- lowed two runs for the visitors; another earned run for the visitors put the score to 3-2 until the ninth when the local pitcher tired, allow ing three more runs.
 Fabricius, Wrangell southpaw pitcher, had very little edge over Miller, local man. If the support had stayed back of Miller, the score might have been different
 The Glacier Bugs and the Wran- gellites stand even in games now. and it is probable that there will be one more game played to decide which team really plays ball.

TOM 0AFFNEY AND BEN GREER REFUSE TO TAX NON-RESI. DENT FISHERMEN LETTER BELOW DESCRIBES NON-REsIDENTs
 Interbay P. O. Seattle,
 March IS, 1927... Senator Will A. Steele,

Senator Will A. Steele,
 Juneau. Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 Having been a resident of Alaska for more than 20 years I feel that I am duty bound to give pou the following information.
 More than one hundred Austrian and Greek owned purse seine boats leave Seattle tor he Sound) each year to fish the salmon and herring seasons in Southeast and Southwest Alaska. They are rapidly helping to deplets one of Alaska's richest assest. for which they pay practic- ally nothing. Hundredes of the fishermen (illiterate Bohrnks) laugh and joke at being able to beat your school tax law.
 A few years ago these fishermen had 40 to 6g foot small powered boats. but today, through Alaska's riches, they have e5 to 78 foot heavy-Dowered. up-to-the-minute vessels. costing from $17,500 to $30.000 (the old ones cost about $6,500). Take for instanse, the new motor ship Valencia" Narcoh Le- gas, owner: hull 7s feet long, 1s feet beam, feet. inches depth; 136 horsepower Diesel engine, speed 12 knots. cost $28,500. Two years ago Legas owned the Georgia, $s.b0o old type boat. In 1925 he built the "Ansonia," $1s,000, and in 1927 the "valencia."
 Only about 39o of the crews that man the boats are citizens of the United States. Many of the vessels are owned by Austrians and Greeks who never so near their boats. They own oyster houses and cafes and they get goo dreturns on their investments. That is, the boats are Gin the names of citizens, but in rality they belong to aliens who put up the money to build and equip them. They all have beautiful homes in Seattle and nice bank ac- counst.
 Each fall when they return to Seattle they tell of the amount o1 each mans share for the season from s11o0 to $1700. some as low as $500 (those that lsh with the old type boet). They also tell o1 the deer meat they have all sum mer.
 l would suggest a law compell ing all fishermen, without exemp ton. to be United States citizens Also . law prohibiting all vessel' engaged in fishing from carrying firearms unless they have 8 permit to do 70 from the Territory; and i,

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
(BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia

(BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN) Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia
 the Health Magazine. When the Curies first announced the discovery of radium, medical science greeted the announcement with great optimism.
 Here was new and potent sub stance which unquestionably had definite effects upon tissues when applied directly, and which tn sre- fore might apparently be used for all sorts of conditions. Leaders of medicine in Germany and Austria suggested the use of radium for rheumatism. dgout, infamed joints. neuritis, neuralgia and all sorts of pains generally.
 Not only was the radium used through drinking water containing the emanation of radium, but also by exposure, in special emanatori- ums, directly to the inhalation of the radium emanation.
 Optimistic at First
 
 tlmistic reports appeared on the use of radium. Manufacturers began to develop radium emanators which were supposed to contain radium in their walls and to have the power of activating the water within them by the emanation.
 These were sold both to the phy- sician and to the public with tho claims that they would greatly bene- fit high blood pressure and other diseases that have been mentioned. Recent investigations just completed by the physicians mentioned and controlled by the study of other cases not treated by these methods are disappointing.
 A person who Is suffering from 8 chronic disease and who is besieged with offers to sell him expensive radium apparatus for drinking ra- dium water or inhaling radium emanation will do we'll to consult scientific advice before making any such outlay. There are, moreover. numerous radium devices which do not provide enough radium to have even the slightest appreciable effect.
 The American Medical Associa- ton, 535 North Dearborn St.. Chi cago, Is glad to give information concerning the reliability for any any such radium devices.

 I did not answer her, for she pa- tiently expected to do that herself and the next instant she went on re- flectively:
 Phil Veritzen won't Ao because he and his son are at ewords' points; Hugh Grantland-Dicky would foam at the mouth If he appeared-I have it--your father has to come up here next week anyway, and I'll just plan my dinner while he's here. I'll make it in his homer. In that way Mary will suspect nothing"
 She stretched ker arms above her head and came toward the bed.
