While MT. and Mrs. Cunningham were making A trip south three years ago they discovered that a fellow passenger was a brother of Robert Marshall and through him the oldtime friends got in communication with each other.
 MT. Marshall recently sold his mercantile business in McGrath and he and Mrs. Marshall are en route to Belfast, where they will make an extended visit after which they plan to make their home in Call fornia.

WASHINGTON-President Hoo ver's long awaited message outlin- ing the work for which he called Congress together in a special ses- sion was without surprises. He chung to his prior insistence that tariff revision should be limited in scope, and stressed his belief that Government aid to farmers should be administered chiefly by the farmers themselves through mar keting organizations owned and conducted by farmers. - He would have this accomplished through the creation of a Farm Board to have supervision over public funds ad- vanced as loans to farm organiza- tions and to assist agriculture in other ways. He spokc of the, fo-asA aid proposal as being experimental but immediately necessary.
 The President also expressed the hone that Congress will find time to act on measures providing for 193O census and reapportionment of the House as well as repeal of the national origins clause of the immigration law.
 The message apparently failed to inform the Senate Agricultural Committee where the President stood on the debenture plan for Farm Re lief and the committee will await a specific report from Hoover be- fore embodying it in farm bill, al though some such scheme VIII probably be urged on the floor any way. The Democrats were adverse Iv critical of the Presidents mes sage while the Republicans thought it admirable.

BOND ISSUE DEFEATED

The special ele tion held Tues day for the purpose of voting on the question as to whether the Town of Wrangell should issue bonds in any sum not exceeding $50,O00 for school purposes resulted in 159 votes being east Of this number 67 were against and s2 for bonds. Nevertheless, the major ity of the taxpayers lost to the mi nority as the proponents of the bond issue were at a tremendous disadvantage on account of the Act of Congress (H R. 10901) passed February g, 1927, which provides that in order for bonds to carry in Wrangell there must be a majority of 65 per cent in favor of same.
 The first bonding bill for Wran- gell (H. R. 1O746) which was in- troduced by Delegate George Grigs- by and passed by Congress on Jan uary 5, 1920, was free from this 65 per cent handicap. The bill which MT. Grigsby introduced and which was passed by Congress almost i'm mediately stipulated that
 -. said bonds shall be issued
 only upon the condition that a
 majority of the votes cast at such
 election in said town shall be in
 favor of issuing said bonds."
 Had the second bonding bill pro vided for a majority vote instead of a 65 per cent handicap the cleo tion Tuesday would have resulted Tn favor of bonds with votes to spare.
 But under the provisions of the act under which the election was held it was possible for the minor ity to prevail over the majority. In other words on Tuesday 67 taxpay CTS were able to tell 92 taxpayers that their wishes must not be re- spected. That the proponents of the bond issue do not need any vot- Ing handicap In thelr IaYor was sell 1 evident at the election Tuesday | which showed the big majority of 92 to 67 in favor of bonds.
 Not only did a majority of the taxpayers declare for bonds but it | is fact, we believe, that more than 75 per cent of the revenue of the | town is derived from taxpayers who | stand for a decent school building l for Wrangell's children, and who | are sorry and ashamed that the l children are condemned to go to | sohnaI in buildings that are iraANe- uuate, patched-up, and sanitarily beyond polite speech, but which unfortunately for the must be continued in use.
