INTEREST GROWING In
COMMUNITY REVIVAL
JUDGE LUKE COMING HERE FOR
SERIES OF REVIVAL
MEETINGS

The big community revival to be
conducted here by Judge Roscoe Luke
beginning Sunday night April 18th,
Easter Sunday, will be held in the
old Bazaar Store room on Central
avenue, next door to the Herald of
fee, according to announcement by
the Business Mems Evangelistic Club
under whose auspices the meeting is
being held.
Committees are busy preparing for
the meeting and it is expected that
this will be one of the greatest re-
vivals ever held here.
Judge Luke is one of the best
known jurists in the state, being a
member of the Court of Appeals of
Georgia, and while not regular
preacher in the strictest sense of the
word, since he devotes most of his
time to the bench, he is, nevertheless,
most remarkable speaker and has
noIQ SOME Ol lIl6 ICNlNoio III
the state. He breaches the old time
religion without any frills and in a
way that strikes at the heart of things
and his messages will thrill and grip
all who hear him.
Judge Luke comes to Fitzgerald
for this two weeks meeting without
price. He claims that he has never
in his life accepted single dollar
for his preaching. His actual ex-
penses is all he receives unless the
people desire to make a thanks Of
fering, in which case, he gives the
money to some work of charity or
some weak church and does not keep
a dollar for himself.
The meetings will not be held un-
der the auspices of any particular
church but all are invited and ex-
pected to join in and make this a
great community wide revival.

AN INTERESTING DECISION

The recent decision of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court in the fish re-
duction case contains statements that
may have a direct hearing on the
threatened impairment of the fish
cries by power projects. One is the
principle, often set forth in the past,
that The title to, and property in
the fish within the waters of the
state are vested in the state and held
by it in trust for the people of the
state" Another, even more peril
nent to the question of dam con-
struction, is that:
1T is apparent that the amount
of damages which would compen-
safe plaintiff (the state) for the des-
struction of it's fish would be
extremely difficult, if not impossible,
of entertainment. This is partic-
ularly true in the light of the cir
cumstance that the state owns the
fish, not in a private or proprietary
capacity, but in it's sovereign capa-
city and as trustee for the people
of the state"
This principle was cited as ground
for the issuance of an Injunction.

People of Wrangell

The people Of Wrangell should be
reminded of what fine friend the
ALASKA WEEKLY published in
Seattle) is. The following is from
their own pen and printed in
September 1924.
A COMPLAINT FROM A NEW
SOURCE
What a vast difference it makes
whose OK is gored. Residents of
Wrangell recently petitioned U. S.
tish Commissioner, Mr.. Henry
O'Malley, for an extension of the
open period for fishing and repres-
.ented that the prosperity of the en-
tire community was endangered by
the present restrictions.
The committee representing Wran-
gell states that some 200 fishermen
operating forty boats would be
hard hit and unable to pay for
$4,000 worth of supplies purchas-
ed from Wrangell merchandise sad
story indeed.
We do not wish to be misunder-
Gtood-we are not ridiculing the
plant of the purse-seiners of Wran-
gell nor belittling the serious ma
ture of their plight. Furthermore,
we in common with the citizens Of
Wrangell, feel much more highly
exercised over loss sustained by
resident fishermen and merchants OF
Alaska than we do over the losses
of outside packers and banks.
But we cannot refrain from men
tioning the fact that these are the
same people who vote the hardest
for the men who are responsible
and who cheer the loudest when
the packer receives a body blow,
however foul that blow may be.
And isn't the principle the same?
4 packer constructs his trap out
tit for the season, contracts for his
labor, and ships his supplies to the
plant. He is ready to operate when
wire comes which says; TRAP
fishing is prohibited in Blank Bay"
Result is 100000 loss. "Hooray,"
says the purse seiner, Zine business. .

FRENCH LEGION
LOSES CLAM0R
Year in He'll Is Ended by
DeSertiOn.
RJ United Press

Bg United Press
LONDON.-All the glamor of be-
ing a member of the French Legion
evaporates as soon as the recruit
reaches North Africa, according to
Frank Waterhouse, an Englishman
who deserted from the legion and
escaped back to England.
His life is the legion he described
as "a year in He'll" 1.-THE pay" he
continued, amounted to a little over
shilling a month. The heat was
terrific, and the food far from appe-
tizing though, to be fair, must say
there was plenty of it."
Probably the thing that struck
me most" he said, twas the number
of men met in the legion who had
at one time held influential posi-
tions in the world. One of the men,
a Prince de Georges, said that at one
time he was a ruler of Georgia ana
a courier to the late Gar. He said
that he had been worth nearly $75,-
100000 before he had been driven
out of Russia by the Bolsheviks."
Waterhouse joined the legion fol-
lowing the loss of $4,000 on the
gambling tables at Mont Carlo.
