 To Be Rebuilt
New Owners of Sanitary Property
 Will Begin Construction Work on April on Two Line Canaery With Cold Storage in Connection.

Construction work will begin on April on a new cannery which will be built in Wrangell on the site for merly occupied by the Alaska Sani- tary Packing Company.
 The Bank of California finally de- cided to accept the offer made by the parties who are behind the proposi- tion. 0. P. Nergaard who was here for a few days early in January for the purpose of investigating the proposition is authority for the statement that the deal has gone through.
 MT. Nergaard was on a trip north checking up inventories for the Con- solidated when he received word that the Bank of California had accepted the offer made for the property. He immediately sent a cablegram to Charles Benjamin requesting him to arrange to have a sufficient amount of dock piling cut and ready for use at as early a date as possible. MT. Nergaard stated that he expected to start construction work about April 5. All tenants in the houses of the Sanitary property have been request ed to vacate by April 1st.
 At the time MT. Nergaard was here Investigating the proposition he stated it was his belief that there is an excellent opportunity in Wrangell for a cannery and cold storage com bined He expressed the belief that wrangell's strategical location would be particularly advantageous in the operation of a cold storage plant. The cannery operations will be con- fined to a two-line cannery.

WILLIAM L. PAUL FINED $175
 FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

KETCHIKAN, March A. William L. Paul was fined s175 for contempt of court today because, among other counts on which he was found guilty, ''he fraudently violated his duty of being honest" and behaved :" con- temptuously and insolently" in dis trict court. In handing down the de- cision Judge Justin Harding com mitted Paul to the custody of the United States marshal until the fines are paid.
 In handing down a lengthy deci- sion, Judge Harding reviewed Paul's connection with the Maxfield Dalton case in detail and found Paul guilty on two counts of contempt, assessing fine of $1O0 on one count and $75 on the other.
 The court declared that Paul twill fully, knowingly, purposely and fraudulently misbehaved in his office and capacity of attorney at law" and that he Intentionally and fraudu- lently violated his duty of being hon. est, fair and truthful in his state ments to the court"
 The courts findings point out that although Paul requested and was given permission to file an amended petition for a writ of review of the Dalton case, after Judge Harding had censured Paul for statements made in the petition, that Paul did not file the amended petition but instead filed an affidavit of prejudice against Judge Harding
 Judge Harding declared in his find ings that all the allegations made in the affidavit of prejudice, excepting one, are "excessive and unnecessary and that Paul caused the affidavit to be made and filed with the con temptuous and insolent intent a"i purpose" of discrediting and embar- rassing the court.
 Paul has announced that he will appeal the contempt conviction.

CHAIN STORE CORPORATION TO
 PURCHASE ALASKA HALIBUT

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company recently began buying fresh ialibut and salmon in the Seattle market for it's long chain of stores Il the eastern states. This undoubt- edly will soon swell the Great Allan ties disbursements through Seattle beyond the present volume of ST. 100000 a year according to H. B. Freile. vice president and general manager of the Nakat Packing Com pany, a subsidiary of the Great Att lantic.
 The fresh fish department is a nat ural consequence of the companys operation of meat shops in it's gro- cery stores, started about Is months ago.
 Fish bought in Seattle is purchased in six-car lots at time and sent east frozen for distribution at most con- venient places. Patrons of these stores already consume around s4,- 100000 year of canned salmon, so the introduction of fresh salmon and halibut is not expected to be difficult.

Inauguration of
 Herbert Hoover
New President Dedicates Himself and Administration to Law Enforce ment at Home, and Promotion of Peace Throughout the World.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Mar. A. The presidency of the United States passed to Herbert Hoover today in colorful ceremony which he, himself, described as a "dedica- tion and consecration under God"
 Speaking to all the world in his inaugural address delivered from the historic east steps of the capi- tol, President Hoover declared that disregard of the law was the na- tion's greatest peril
 With hand upraised, he repeated the words of the official oath of of flee administered by Chief Justice Taft shortly after noon and kissed the Bible at the passage, "He that keepeth the law, happy is he."
 Half an hour earlier. Charles Cur tis succeeded Charles Dawes as vice president at a ceremony in the sen ate chamber, which was enlivened unexpectedly when the new and re- tiring second officers, making the customary brief addresses, disagreed directly on the old subject of senate rules.
 With simple and forceful language reflective of his own personality. Hoover dedicated himself and his administration to law enforcement at home and promotion of peace throughout the world These two purposes stood out in bold relief in his inaugural address delivered from simply decorated stand at the east front of the capitol after he had taken his oath of office as thirty first President

Louis Thinker who has been in charge of the cable office for the past Is months, has been transferred to Seattle and will leave for that city In a few days In May he will be sent to Dillingham; on the Boring Sea where he will take charge of the gov ernment radio station at that place. MT. Thinker has been getting fat as bear during the past few months and he has probably decided that it will do him good to hibernate for year.
 During his residence in Wrangeh he has endeavored to serve the public faithfully, and he leaves many friends here whose good wishes will follow him wherever he may go.
 MT. Thinker is succeeded in Wrangell by Lee M. Bunnell MT. Bunnell is not a stranger in Wran- gelI, having been stationed here TOT a time two or three years ago.

MEXICO CITY-Col. Chas. Lind bergh and his fiancee. Miss Anne Morrow, along with other members of the Morrow family, arrived at Cuernayaca, Mexico, shortly after noon Saturday after an automobile ride through the bandit infested sec tions of the country. Despite the fact that he could use only one arm the famous flier drove his own car and arrived at Cuernavaca twenty minutes ahead of the automobile in which Ambassador and Mrs. Dwight Morrow and their eldest daughter Elizabeth were riding. The roads were heavily guarded along the route to insure the safety of the dis tinguished guest. Col. Lindbergh returned to Mexico City on Monday and the opinion is that he will not remain there any longer than it will take him to secure another plane for his flight north. The Colonel still has his injured shoulder in bandages but it is thought it will be fully mended in a few days.

Radio SuperSedes
 Cable at Wrangell
Change Made for Purpose of Im- proving Service Between Wran- gel and SeatIle-Now Possible to Communicate With Canneries.

George k. Galletly, radio engineer, sent out by the Seattle office of the olgnal Corps of the United States Army. has been Ill Mrangeu during the past week installing the radio which in the future will be used in- stead ot the cable in transmitting messages rom Wrangell.
 1t Is understood thta the change Is being made for the purpose of im- proving the service between Wran- geii and seattle. Under the present system Wrangell has to wait on Pe- rersburg when transmitting messages rom here by cable. As soon as the radlo is installed it will be possible to work direct by radio with Ketchi- kan and messages will be relayed from that city by cable.
 During the past several years Wrangell has had no radio connec- tion with the various canneries in this region. Under the new system 1t will be possible for the Wrangell station to be in constant communi- cation with all ships in northern wa ters.
 The cable which has been in use heretofore will remain intact. It will continue to be used for the transmits sion of messages between Wrangell and Petersburg, and will be available at all times in case of an emergency.
 Among the numerous things that have engaged MT. Galletly's attention since his arrival here has been the task of locating local interference. With an electrical instrument which he calls a noise finder he has been all over the city in an effort to de- tect leaks, sparks, etc. in motors and other appliances. Among other places he visited the Sentinel office, and we were pleased to have him inform us that there was no interference whatever from the electric motors that operate the machinery used in producing the Sentinel.
 LOUIS 1lnhlef WHO IS soon to iedNe Wrangell to take another appoint ment has been relieved of his duties as operator in charge of the local ca- ble office in order that he may give his entire time to assisting MT. Gal letly until the installation of the To- cal radio plant is completed.
 MT. Galletly has been in Alaska since last May, and has made install lations as far to the westward as Dill lingham. Unlike most men connect ed with the Signal Corps, MT Gallet- ly is not enlisted in the United States Army but is in the Civil Service in- stead.

PIT. A,

The attendance at the March Pr. A. meeting was unusually large and a very entertaining evening was spent with pictures from collection owned by Pr. Diven and taken in the Interior, and also pictures taken at the young folks camp at Anan creek at various times by Dr. Diven and Superintendent Rasmussen. The views of the beautiful scenery near Anan, and the animal pictures showing bears and even a wolf in action, were especially enjoyable, and there were also views of the activities of the young people who have enjoyed the camping at that place that were full of interest. Preceding the slides, Miss Dorothy Voss and Miss Marjorie Ben jamin gave a very fine piano duet.
 The business meeting was short. The treasurer announced the pay ment of the gym insurance and S5O on the indebtedness, with a surplus in the treasury. The Association de- cided to sponsor a field day for the school, and the chairman, B. A. Lindman, wishing to appoint the committee which had charge last year, appointed MT. Fabricius and M. o. Johnson with Miss Scott of the High School faculty in place Of Miss Frances Steele. Miss May won the picture for the second time this year in close competition with the primary room. Committees for the April meet ing were appointed as follows: Pro gram Mrs. Johnson, MT. Gurr ana Mrs. Wheeler; refreshments. Mrs. Edna Lewis, Miss Fanette Steele Miss Dorothy Johnson and Mrs. Fer guson. At the close of the meeting re- treatments were served by Mrs. Carl Arola, Mrs. Hatton and Miss Port man.
