The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-07-19

25 YEARSAGO.
 The Sentinel is indebted to E E Harvey Tor a page from The Alaska sentinnel published in Wrangen onI Thursday. Jan. l, 1908. the name ofI the publisher not being given.
 Wrangeu's newspaper is the oldest in Alaska. Il was founded by s. Hall Young in 1885 under the name ofI The Glacier. Later this became TheI Northern Light Quarterly. The filesI were destroyed in the fire of 20 years ago and complete files Of the Sentinel of today extend back but twelYeI years. some Of the publishers being careless about keeping files and atI least one of them taking his files with him when he left Wrangell.
 The paper that MT. Harvey brought in proved of such interest to us that We are reproducing parts Of it here with believing that both new and old residents of WrangeIl will find 1t in- teresting. 5
 The Sentinel would welcome other old Wrangen papers brought in for reproduction of the most interesting items.
