DICK STEVENSON RECEIVES
 SEVERAL BITES FROM DOG

Dick Stevenson, who left here Thursday afternoon, returned to town late the same night, after having been badly bitten by a dog, the bites and lacerations having been inflicted as he was nearing his camping place on the Innoko river, two or three miles this side of the Goss Roadhouse.
 Leaving here in the afternoon, MT. Stevenson took with him two dogs one. named Prince, belonging to Nels Pearson, and another, female. largely wolf, belonging to Ivar Chil- strom.
 Near the bank of small stretch of water, which she had just swam across, one of the females hind feet got caught in trap. She howled- pitifully, plentifully. Laying his gun on a log, MT. Stevenson went to the rescue of the dog. Holding her head away from him, he released the en- trapped foot, but he had no sooner done this than the wolf, having freed herself from his hold, turned upon her rescuer. Her first bite, nasty one, went clear through MT. Steven sons left wrist, the result of which was to render that arm practically useless. A second bite made nasty gash about an inch long, just above the thumb and index finger of the right hand I've or three bites were made on the left leg and couple of others on the fight leg. At this point. in the near-tragedy Nels Pear sonsss dog. Prince. took a hand in the proceeding. The wolf was making another lunge at Dick, and just as she did SD Prince grabbed her by the throat. held her in place and indi cated to her exactly where to head inir- A few taps on her head. and she was subdued. The day was saved for Richard Prince, however, played a wonderful part; he showed most dis cerning, unerring instince, and quali- ties bordering on the human.
 MT. Stevenson, as related above, reached town late that night, first coming t0 the Dave Mutchler cabin, where the latter and Pete Jensen ren- dered first aid and washed and dressed the wounds.
 MT. Stevenson's wounds, though still quite sore; are healing nicelys all danger has seemingly passed, he is able to move about, and will be himself again ere many days have passed.

FREDERICK |. BOLTON

Early last year the Pr. A. had some correspondence with MT. Hen derson, and in one of his letters the Commissioner expressed the hope that when Wrangell voted on the bond issue the voters would indicate that they had the interest of their children at heart. And he predicted that if Wrangeu showed no inelina- ton to provide a better high school plant Dr. Bolton of the University of Washington would remove the Wrangell school from the accredited list. He said pr. Bolton was plan ming on making a trip to Alaska soon, and while on the trip he would inspect the accredited schools of Southeastern Alaska, and that in cidentally he may ask me some em- barrassing questions as to why I was willing to recommend that a high school with such equipment and building facilities be placed on the accredited list of the University of Washington.

PETERSBURG NOTES
Petersburg Press)

After operating a herring saltery in Petersburg for many years, Brick Ness left Thursday with a crew for Washington Bay where he will con- duct his operations this year because of the shortage of herring in Peters burg and the vicinity. Until recent ly, there has always been plenty of herring in the vicinity of Petersburg for Mr. Ness and other herring pack CTS but in the past few years the sup ply has decreased so rapidly that MT. Ness now finds it necessary to go near the outside waters to get enough herring to fill the orders he has secured.
 x
 The city council plans to build a new city dam as the intake of the old one is in such condition that the water line is choked with sediment and the town is going through an- other shortage of water. The new dam which the city plans, will in crease the storage reservoir from one and half million to four million gall lon capacity.
