 While the Wrangell team took a severe drubbing it was game and fought hard to get in scores right up to the last minute. The com hination of the local five was too much for the visitors so they had to be content with the small end of the score.

Timber Sales On
 Tobbogan

Receipts from timber sales from Alaska National Forests for the year ending June 30, 1928, were $22,441. "A, which amount has been remit ted to the national treasury Re- ceipts were $1O,OOO less than aver age. Of ahe amount turned over to he Treasury, 19,O18.52 came from the Tongass National Forest.
 The decline is laid to falling off of the salmon pack in 1927 which resulted in a material decrease in the number of shocks manufactured for salmon boxes.
 No mention is made of the fact that the Forestry agents in Alaska use their offices to obstruct shipment of lumber and timber to Oriental markets Said markets would have added to the revenue from the Ton gass National Forest and to the general income of the Territory.

Battling waves in a storm for 27 hours while clinging to his ovrturn- ed boat and yet live to tell the tale was the recent experience of Gus Enspy, fisherman out O f Willapa Harbor. While in serious condi- ton, he was expected to live.
 Only 30 years old, his hair turned completely gray as a result of his experience.
 So exhausted when he finally was thrown up on the beach, his feet could not carry his weight so he crawled more than a mile to help. Reaching a residence, he was too weak to climb the steps and he re- in the yard some time be- fore he was discovered

Town Team Defeated

Wrangell Hi in a game Saturday night got revenge on Petersburg by giving the Town Team the small end of a 31.1 score. The local boys have yet to learn that practice makes perfect and individual starring wins no games. The visitors played to- gcther as team and consistently made their points while the local boys played ragged ball tho they made some star plays. The local team had not had any practice to speak of If they expect to continue to represent Petersburg, they had better do a little practicing. The stuff is there but it has to be brot out in practice and teamwork.

The first bid on area l and 2 was in before completion of time allotted by regulation but in order TO make it possible for the Juneau outfit to acquire the permit the bids were pulled as being improperly made out, The Hungerford bid turned down and then the areas granted the Juneau outfit
 This matter was tabled in order that more information might be secured.

Wants Modification of
 Fish Law

The KetChikan Commercial Club passed resolution and has asked other bodies to do the same which is request to Congress to permit the canning, salting, icing or pack ing of salmon more than AS hours old if properly handled. This has been the result of certain court ac- tons wherein firms were prosecuted for putting up fish more than 48 hours old.
 Both measures are proper--the )ne as a check on the other--if pro- perly handled. No fish of any kind should be put up as food after As hours if not properly iced and cared for Too much of that already has been done. But, if properly iced and handled, salmon of any kind will keep as we'll as halibut and the packing of same for food is justif- able. This measure should have the support of every organization but with the qualification for proper care incorporated in order that the trade may be protected.

Wolves and. Coyotes@.''
 On Increase

R. K. Steward. predatory anima hunter gave brief summary of lis annual government report, at the meeting of the Commercial Club Wednesday evening.
 His report he stated, showed ar alarming increase in both wolves and coyotes throughout the terri Cory Coyotes are making raids on the wild sheep so that many of the lambs are being killed off and the wolves are making raids on the moose. The sheep and moose are being killed off by these animals in districts where they were becoming plentiful. The nesting grounds of the wild ducks and geese are show ing the effect of attack by the coyotes and unless an active campaign is conducted by the government, wild fife in Alaska will become so depr; ciated that some species will become extinct.
 The report showed such a need for remedial action that the Club f0, a resolution to set forth the facts and needs to combat the menace of these predatory animals Infor- nation and data will be gathered and sent to the various Commerc,ql Clubs and other organizations with the request that luther action ge taken along the same lines and with the request that a bill be prepared in Congress providing for an annual appropriation of $50,000 annually over period of several years as dluS III lu6 pI0SeENdllOu UT Wllu lire ip Alaska.
 The time for action is immediate Any delay will create such inroads on animal life as will make it vir- iually impossible to replenish or restock the wild life It was further shown in the report that all wolves killed in this district have deer feed n the carcasses. This has been the claim of Alaskans and is now sub- stantiated by the studies of Mr. Steward during the past severll months in this district
 When completed the information l and resolution will be sent to Gov ernCr Parks and to Delegate Suther- l land with the urge that they support l :he matter and secure appropriations as needed.

Or. CALDWELL'S ...,A
THREE. RULES


DR.. Caldwell watched the results Of
constipation for AZ years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con-
stipation will Occur from time to time.
Of next importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton is mild vegetable compound. It
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming. a.
The Doctor never did approve Of dras-
tic physics and purges. he did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get bottle today, at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For free trial bottle, just write
