That southeaster which sprang up about Il o'clock Saturday and con- ttnued unabated until Sunday morn ing must have been the aftermath of the volcanic storm which wrecked so many California towns. At least it was about the worst that Wran- gellites have seen for many a day.
 Mrs. A. V. R. Snyder returned home on the Humboldt after a seven months visit among friends and rel atives in old Oregon. She was ac- companied home by her niece, Miss Ethel Rowell, who will make her home here.

He is now running hotel al Anacortes, Wash. Seeing an account of the fire, MT. Wilson raised in his town $68, which he forwarded, ask ing if any more was needed. He not only sent the money but also case of Old Forester Pain Eradicator, thinking it might be needed. ot course all our citiezns take off their hats to MT. Wilson; and as he is a newspaper man, Sentinel is doubly proud of him.
