BUILDING NEW CANNERY

Construction of the new can nery being built at Wrangell by F. s. Barnes, William Hale and Guy Chapin is progressing at a rapid rate. A fine modern plant with the latest equipment will installed. The Barnes trap To- cations will be used and most ot the Lake Bay crews are plan ming to work for Frank. The kindly, fair treatment of his fish ermen is bringing them back to him so that most of the Lake Bay crews will be fishing fo1 him. Wrangellites expect that this cannery will mean more tC the town than any other can nery that has operated in that district as most of the labor em ployed will be drawn locally.

Legislators Return
 To Their Homes

Senator Charles Benjamin and Representative Peter McCor- mack were on the Alameda en- route to Wrangell from the leg iSlative sessions at Juneau. Speaking Of the results of the eff forts of the legislators they fec considerably satisfied with the results which while not all they desired, was a step of progress in the right direction. Tn some of the legislative efforts, especi- ally relative to the fisheries, they felt that they did not go far enough but under the cir cumstances they did all that they possibly could. What gains were made all tend to make the work easier in the future. Me COrmack'S graduated tax bill did not get to first base. With the makeup of the House it was not expected that any legislation oi benefit to the common stiff of Alaska would get even to first base. Rather, it, was expected that three strikes and out would be called even before the game had started and so it was The tax on trollerS was as hard as Mir. Benj amin dared make it without losing ground. All ir all, election of major officials ir
 the territory, tax on trollers, is a step in the right direction which will make easier the work of future legislatures according to these men.

Senator Plans To Start Newspaper

Senator Will A. Steel, of Ju- neau was among the southbound passengers on the steamer Aleu- tian this week. He is going to California to look after business matters. Early in July he will return to Seattle where he eX- poets to be occupied in looking after the interests of the All Alaska Review, which will be published in the late Fall by the Times of Cordova. He then ex- poets to return to Juneau and will assist in establishing a Re- publican newspaper at the Capi- tai City. He further says that next February he will file as a Republican candidate for the Senate in the First Division, to succeed himself. Senator be-
 lieves that much constructive le-
 gislation was enacted at the ses- sion which closed on May 3rd, and is particularly pleased with the enactament of four measures
 which provide for the election of an Auditor, Treasurer, Com missioner of Education and High way Engineer. He believes that
 at the next session of the Legis- lature there will be a general de-
 mand for the election of a Board of Control.

Lord Jesus, Thou hast known 3 mothers tender care, And Thou wilt hear, while for my own mother most dear, ! make this birthday prayer. Protect her life, I pray, who gave the gift of life to me; And may she know from day to day, the deepening glow of life that comes from Thee. As once upon her breast fear less and well content I lay, So let her heart, on Thee at rest, feel fears depart and troubles fade away.

CASH COLE ELECTED FIRST
 TERRITORIAL AUDITOR

Cash Cole, business man of Ju- neau, member of the 1921 and 1923 sessions of the Territorial Legislature and Chief Clerk ot the House of Representatives and secretary of the Senate just adjourned, was unanimously elected Auditor of Alaska by both Houses as the legislature was about to be adjourned.
 The names of MT. Cole, Chas. E. Naghel and Elmer Reed were put into hat and Miss Ada Minzgohr drew one of the three which happened to be that of Mir Coles. The name was promptly ratified by the legislators and he took the oath of office the fol- lowing morning.
 The Legislative Houses were in a deadlock until just preceding the drawing of the name when the Senate accepted the House amendments which had stricken all reference to the Board of Control. The measure was then promptly passed by both Houses. Under the terms of the new bill the electors will have choice as to who shall be Treasurer and Auditor, Highway Engineer and

Delegate Sutherland has pre- Sented in the House of Repre- sentatives a joint resolution cal ling for an international pro- gram of road construction con meeting Alaska with the States, The following exerpts are taken from the United States Daily and is from the pen of Delegate Sutherland.
 A few years ago the proposal to connect the Territory of Alas ka with the United States pro- per by highway or even by rail road seemed visionary.
 Today the proposition to com plete a highway from Puget sound to the interior of the Northland is not only accepted as most practical matter, but inasmuch as the major part of the distance is already travers- ed by excellent highway, the de- mand now comes from residents of Alaska, Yukon Territory (Can ada) and the State of Washing ton for early construction of sections of road that will link the Alaskan and British Colum- bia roads into 0ne continuous highway fro rlthe States to Alaska.
 British Columbia has already projected her rocd system north ward until it has reached a point about 25 miles north of Hazelton or somewhat over half the length of the Province, and at the northern end of the Pro- vince, near Atlin, about 30 miles of roadway has been construct ed in a southerly direction.
 In Yukon Territory, just north of the British Columbia line. from White Horse, north. for a distance of 50 miles, there is a partially constructed road which Is easily traversed by automo- piles and wagons, but which will require considerable improve ment to make it a suitable high way for tourist travel.

IN INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY TO CONNECT J. S.-& ALASKA

However, this section of coun- try all the way to the Alaskan boundary is eXcellently adapted to inexpensive road building The present Alaskan road SyS- tenn includes a splendid high way extending from Valdez oll the Pacific to Circle City on the Yukon River, a distance of over oUU miles
 The mlIes of roadway required to connect the Alaska system WlUn Yukon Territory at the in CeIIIaJIOLaI boundary would De about I5o, apprOXlmately 27o mics of constructor in Yukon Ier1lCory and 3OO miles in Bri- ClSn Columbia would De require.. Ill connecting up a trunk line.
 Through Yukon Territory the work would be comparatively easy, through level country, with construction material close at hand.
 The British Columbia section would traverse a mountainous region which will present some engineering difficulties.
 It may appear from this pre- Sentation of the international highway, that l, an American ci- tizen, am arranging for the Gov ern1nent of Canada to build a road for the benefit of Ameri- cans, of an American territory. We do not know what the Cana dian reaction to such a proposal will be, but we do know that in the past the Dominion has been  very liberal in the construction If roads for her far northern mining camps, and it is quite possible that her general devel- opment plans for the future in clude the continuation of the present British Columbia high way nOrthWard into Yukon Ter ritory. This would appear to be a logical conjecture.

 Bill Fails to Pass

The Community property bill introduced by Senator Benj jamin was lost in the shuff1e and rush of the last hours of the legisla- ture. The Conference Commit tees patched over their differ encs and reported back to their respective houses that the bill do pass. The House members at the last moment refused to accept the amended bill and failed to provide another com- mittee to adjust the matter so it was lost.

BURKHARDT BACK IN THE
 CANNING GAME

Charley Burkhardt, recently retired president of the Alaska Consolidated Company has talk en a lease on the Point Warde cannery and will operate it this summer. Burkhardt had made oVertures to the people of Wran- gell with the view to taking ov- CT the properties of the Alaska Sanitary Company at that place. When he learned that ElliSan CoulsOn had thrown up their lease on Point Warde and con- tracts, he immediately took it over. Associated with MT. Burk- hardt will be Ole Nygaard, sup erintendent of Yes Bay cannery under Burkhardt for several Iyears. If there is any fish in the Wrangell district they should do
 well but it is feared that Charley
 will feel of the O'Malley squeeze
 before he is through with the 'ur
 river" fishing. He will at least
 learn some points advanced by Alaskan conservationists of sal

New System Planned
 Colonization Alaska

Combining four distinctive and important elements into a whole General Manager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alaska Railroad has launched upon 6 plan for at tracting and holding settlers on the land in the railroad zone.
 He plans as follows:
 First-Free land.
 Second-Cheap transportation from the States.
 Third-Aid in clearing the land.
 Fourth-Means of financing the farmer in the preliminary stages.
 Assisting MT. Ohlson in the colonization plan is M. D. Snod- grass, of the experimental de- partment to whom may be ac- credited the suggestion which solves the fourth element.
 It will mean a change in the timber law, or rather an eXecu- tive interpretation, which gives to the settler upon his home stead, timber to be sold as it is cut, and which reserves from purchase under the rules govern ing exporting timber from Alas ka, all land suitable for farming
 The importance of this inno. vation, says the Seward Gate way, will be shown when it i pointed out that the best farm ing land in the railroad zon contains heavy stands of bircl and cottonwood. Hence the set tier or local homesteader vii

Valuable Discovery in
Tuning Church Bells

A church bell made from the finest
bell metal may give forth harsh. I'M
pleasant sound, due 10 the fact that
il is out of tune with itself. The
stroke of single bell sounds to us
like one note, and until very recently
even the most expert bell makers have
not realized that the sound is really
made up of five separate notes. The
five notes must be in tune with one
another in order that the bell may
give forth harmonious sound. What
we then hear is a combination of what
is known as the strike note: the NOM
inal. which is an octave above the
strike note; the hum. which is an oc
tave below, and the third and fifth.
This recent discovery regarding the
harmonics of bells has made possible
the new art of bell tuning, a revival
of what for two centuries was consid
cred lost art. The large bells are
inverted on a huge tumtable and re
yolved while the metal is pared away
from the inside until II is correctly
shaped to produce The harmonious
tones.-kansas City Stars Science

Profits in Marsh Land

With proper care BIZ of marsh
land, generally considered worthless,
may be made to yield profit. The
tendency has been to drain such n
piece of land and then cultivate it.
Sometimes this works out, but often
not. Instead of this. such wet areas
may be more successfully utilized for
the production of fish, wild ducks and
geese, and beaver and muskrats Wet
areas may also be made to produce
vast quantities of food suitable for
feeding and producing millions of
ducks, geese and other waterfowl. and
certain fur bearers-animal life that
would add materially to our supplies
of attractive food as well as afford
recreation through hunting, with eikh-
er camera or gun.

A Bill scheduled to come up for
discussion before Congress this SEES
sion which is of unusual interest
locally is the Bill Against unsol-

make it unlawful to send unordered
merchandise through the mails.

have been bothered by the nui-
sanee of receiving boxes of socks,
neckties. gloves, Christmas cards,
and other merchandise through the
mail which they haven't ordered.
Along with the merchandise
comes a bill for 81 or perhaps So
At this time of the year the
favorite article for firms which
practice this method of selling is
Christmas Cards. Thousands of
boxes of Christmas Cards are sent
out unordered to people all over
the country every year.
Persons who have received such
boxes of Christmas cards will be
interested in statement from the
Office of the Postmaster General to
the effect that it is neither neces.
sary to return such unordered mer.
chandise nor to pay for it il it is
not used
According to The Better Busi.

proved that in many cases the
values offered by these unordered
card assortments do not equal the
values which may be obtained in
reputable local stores.
