 When the late fire occurred, the need of telegraphic communication with the outside world, as we'll as with our neghbors, was clearly ap- parent. In order to get the news abroad, it became necessary to send a steamer to Juneau, 150 miles, causing much time and expense. With cable communication our situ- ation and condition could have been known thousands of miles away while the fire was still raging. And the same would be true in case of a ship wreck or an accident to shipping. This fire should awaken the people to more strenuous efforts to have that cable laid from Juneau to Wran- gell and Ketchikan.
