The following is a reprint of the news items of the Alaska Sentinel, published at Wrangell, Thursday, May 23, 1907, A. V. R. Snyder & Son, publishers:
 Contractor Campbell has been down to Ketchikan for a week.

 A fine Whitehall boat for the use of Collector Bronson arrived last week.
 The Challenge came in Monday af- ter 5000 boxes for Klawack. She will be over again in about week.
 Collector Bronson is authority for the report that the Columbine will be here soon for the purpose of plac- ing buoy upon that dangerous rock in Wrangell harbor. Good newsl
 The big Norwegian freight steam ship Haldis came in the first of the week with 24 horses and a lot of freight in bond for Telegraph Creek and other interior points.
 Captain Conover who has put in several years mining on the Clear water and has some good property there, came down the river last week and went below on the Humboldt for week or two.
 While east, last winter, our old townsman, Robert Reid, contracted fagrippe, and when he returned to Wrangell two or three weeks ago was the Humboldt for Victoria to enter a hospital. His many friends here wish for him a speedy and permanent recovery and an early return to Wrangeil.
 Merchant F. Matheson returned on the Seattle from a months absence to the southward, looking we'll and hearty. While in Washington, MT. Matheson visited our "hayseed" friend, F. W. Carlyon and wife on their pretty farm at Yelm, and re- ports them well.
 That was quite mixup of the gas boats last week. Jack Collins was out and Jack Norton went out to bring him in. Norton's boat went adrift while he eamped ashore, and after going three days with nothing to eat ae found a stranded rowboat and came to town. The Anita then went out to look for Norton's launch and found Collins. who had mean while found Norton's boat The boats are all in the home port once more, but Norton vows he will take couple of sandwiches along with him on the next trip he makes.
 Mir. Sherman Bartlett is a late ar rival in Wrangell from Stockton, Calf. MT. Bartlett is a miner and prospector of some considerable ex- perience, somes here for the pur- pose of making thorough examina- tion of the surrounding country. He intends to do some prospecting along the Stikine until fall, after which he will prospect along the coast.
 Prof. George H. Edson and Elmer Prescott are not so ostentatious as Marshal Grant, Patenaude and Web CT. but they bring in the biggest catches of trout, just the same. One day this week they fished at Pats Creek and brought home ninety-eight nice trout. The Prof did not forget the printer, but left him fine mess of trout.
 In making an arrest here last week, Deputy Marshal Grant had two bones of the right hand severely broken. He returned to Juneau, ard although his presence there was needed during district court, Mar shal Shoup let him come home on the Humboldt. The citizens are glad of it, as during this season, when the town is full of strangers, however watchful and capable special officers may be, they fail to command the same respect as the "real article" and the atmosphere gets pretty bluo at some times.
