Former Editor BecomeSI
 Benedict

Mr. and Mrs James c. Wright have announced the marriage of their daughter Helene Cecile to MT. Harry M. Appleton of Bellingham. Washington. The sentence was pro. nounced at New Westminster, B. c. on the 27th day of April, 1927.
 Harry came to Petersburg in Feb ruary or March of last year and became enamoured of the Peters burg Herald. After flirting with the little lady for a couple of months he felt that the proper thing to do was to tie up with her legal ly so papers were made out and signed, the usual tax in this case being waived Harry then published a newsy sheet till July when Inde- rendence Day rolled around. He found his first love flirting with a new first love and himself out of job Whereupon he spent some me on the Petersburg-Scow Bay road hoping thereby to accumulate sufficient wealth to pay income tax; he next pulled feathers from the tail of the Eagle, General Rossitor, which so gracously and efficiently put deeper channel under our Alas ka liners coming through the fa- nous Narrows. Then he hied him. self south to the once greatest sal mon canning center in the world"
 He held down the chair of reporter on a farm journal and being of an industrius nature he added that of operator, advertising agent, assist antbusiness manager, office boy and devil all in one. Rumors of his talk -1g on a new job reached his friends
 last winter so the annuncement at
 fhis time Is not complete surprise. A clean-cut, square-shooting guy,
 he made many friends during the short time he was here and he has the good wishes of these friends
 for long and happy life.

Favorable Report For U. S.-Alaska
 Cable Line

In a recent report issued by Major General 0. Mex. Saltzman chief signal officer of the U. s. Army, Washington, D. c. he expresses satisfaction at the showing made in financial statement by the Washing ton-Alaska Military Cable for the year ending December 31, 1926.
 The report shows an increase in receipts year after year, which tends to prove that Congress did the right thing when it set the business as at present. The chief signal officer last year turned into the federal treasury the sum of $26O,00O from the commercial mes sages which does not include the large amount of government busi- ness for which no charge is made.
 The government business, if pald for at regular rates would have add ed $157,O0O to the revenue, making total of $425,000 proceeds for the year.
 The system involves 2,806 miles of submarine cable, thirty stations, forming the connecting link between the people of Alaska and Alaska and the outside world. There are connected with the system 176 en- listed men of the signal corps and four officers.
