NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.-Al-
most as important 70 the American
revolution as the flintlock and saber,
old fashioned "Orleens" molasses Is
pointing again for q place In the
country's economic structure.
II. 8. Paine, chemist In charge OF
the CARBOHYDRATE division. bureau
OF chemistry and soils at Washing
ton, cites q great revival Of SEterest
in the golden sugary molaSSeS once
found in hogsheads and barrels In
every grocery store and predicts a
return OF the 'molasseS boat" TO the
Atlantic seaboard.
Manufactured from Louisiana and
Florida sugar cane, the molaSseS
took its name from the fact that IL
was shipped chiefly fro New Or
leans. Until recent times, sailing
schooners crawling up the coast 70
New York and Boston with their
holds stacked full OF barreled mo-
lasses were a common sight.
In colonial days molaSSes was one
Of the major articles Of commerce.
John Adams. the second president
Of the United States, quoting George
Washington. wrote:
General Washington always as
serted and proved that Virginians
loved molaSSes as well as New Eng
landers did. ! know not why we
should blush 10 confess that mo-
lasses was an essential ingredient in
American independence. Many great
events have proceeded from much
smaller causes"
Paine ascribes the falling off In
production of old fashioned mo-
lasses as due largely to improve
ments in the manufacture Of sugar
and the consequent greater exhaus-
ton OF sugar from molasses, leav-
ing q rather bitter tasting product.

FORMER wRANGELL MAN
 BECOMES BANK PRESIDENT

J. E. Berg who grew up in Wran- gell has been elected president of the First National Bank of Ketchikan. MT. Berg is a brother of Mrs. C.. c. Mundy of Wrangell.
 The Ketchikan Chronicle in con- menting on the choice of the direc- tors, says:
 Directors of the First National Bank of Ketchikan yesterday after noon elected J. E. Berg president of the institution. This is an honor to MT. Berg and a credit to the bank The new head of this financial house has been a longtime resident of Ket- chikan and his dealings have been such that he is held in the highest esteem not only along the waterfront where he devotes most of his time, but generally among the business men. The word of J. E. Berg is good, generally recognized as such, and there could be no better principal qualification for the head of finan- cial institution.
 'Mr. Berg also, it might be said in passing, has been one of the most astute and successful business men of Ketchikan during a period of years and it may well be expected that he will give the benefit of his good judgment to the position to which he has now been elected"

COMMERCIAL CLUB

The Wrangell Commercial Club has elected the following directors for the year 1929: L. B. Chisholm, James Nolan, N. Nussbaumer, A. B. Anderson, Walter Waters, T. J. Mo- Bride.
 The secretary was directed to ad- dress letter to Hon. Henry 0'Malley regarding certain sections of the new regulations which have caused con- sternation among the fishermen.
 A communication was read from the Cordova Chamber of Commerce regarding the organization of an All Alaska Chamber of Commerce. It is planned to hold an organization meeting in Juneau while the legis- lature is in session. The secretary was directed to advise the Cordova Chamber that Wrangell will send two delegates to the organization meet ing. Inasmuch as two Wrangell citi- zens will be in attendance at the Legislature the matter of sending delegates from here is greatly simpli- fled.
 A communication was read from the Fairbanks Commercial Club seek ing the Wrangell Clubs approval of a resolution to advance the date of general elections in the Territory so days and to advance the date of convening the legislature 30 days with the idea that if general cleo tions were held in September instead of November many more voters would be able to participate therein. And if sessions of the legislature were commenced in February instead of March there would be less interfer- ence with private affairs of our leg islators, as the sessions would be over month earlier and not interfere with their spring activities. After some discussion of this question 1t was decided to take no action on this matter.

DANCE AFTER BASKETBALL
 GAME SATURDAY NIGHT

The dance which the Pr. A. ad- vertised some weeks ago when Petersburg Hi was expected to play a return game with Wrangell Hi will be given this coming Saturday night following the game. A big attend- ance is expected, and good time is assured.

A. has met these obligations promptly from various benefits and from membership dues, and it is hoped that generous sum will be realized from the dance Sat urday night So that the debt may be reduced considerably this year. The dance committee consists of George Hatton, M. o. Johnson and Carl Arola.
 Admission to the dance will be as usual but the Petersburg basket ball team will be the guests of the Pr. A.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON President-elect Hoover, within short time after he assumes the presidency, is going to appoint a non-partisan commission which will be charged with the in- vestigation of enforcement and all other phases of prohibition. It will not be a commission of politicians nor of professional vets and drys. Every effort will be made to make it an impartial committee, composed of men of highest possible standing
 In the meantime joint resolution calling for investigation of the en- tire subject, which has been pending in congress, will be withdrawn leav- ing MT. Hoover free to handle the matter in his own way. This infor- nation was made public following a conference between MT. Hoover and Senators Jones and Edge.
 At the same time federal prohi- bition bureau, in a review of nine years of prohibition, blamed illicit stills and smuggling as sources of supply of liquor. It also claimed the nation is going ahead economically and socially as a result of the dry law.

WASHINGTON-B a vote of S5 to 1 the Senate ratified the Kellogg treaty for outlawing war after al- most two weeks of wrangling. The ratification followed the reading of a clarifying" report from the for eign relations committee. This re- port contained a statement that neither the Monroe Doctrine nor the right of the United States to self-de- fense was injured by the treaty and that the United States could not be considered under obligation to use force against nation, violating the treaty. At the end of the document was a clause, written by Senator Borah, stating the report only went on record as the committees under standing of the pact but was not to be considered a reservation or change in the agreement.
 Senator Blaine was the only one to oppose the treaty. He desired the passage of a resolution saying that nothing in the British or other cor respondents in the case shall be con- sidered reservation. His motion for adoption of this step was beaten.
 A stronger law against smuggling of dutiable goods into the United States was urged on the ways and means committee by Robert Kassor, importer, who claimed such snug gling is conducted on scale compar- able to liquor smuggling.
