 E. H. Lyons, G. E. Rodman, Frank Waterbury and Charley Olson went over to the flats Thursday to repair the house built some time ago by our local Nimrods, and incidentally to bag a little game. They returned Monday with three dozen ducks and sixteen geese, all fat as butter. Citations to the heirs of Thos. A. Wilson and Rufus Sylvester, both de- ceased, have been posted requiring them to appear October 18th, 1907, and show cause, if any there be, why the estate of Wilson & Sylvester be not finally settled. This, of course, will mean the sale af the mill and its appurtenances.

 The best piece of property in Wrangell changed hands Monday. Several days ago MT. Humphreys came up from Victoria to dispose of the wharf, if possible, for Robert Reid, which he has succeeded in do- ing, to the St. Michael Trading Co.,, the price being, approximately, $7,000. The transaction includes the wharf, approaches, the two large warehouses and the pile-driver, be- sides the good will of MT. Reid who has run the wharf since it was built four years ago until his late illness. While The Sentinel is sorry to see MT. Reid surrendering his various business interests in Wrangell, it must congratulate the St. Michael Go. on coming into so valuable piece of property as this wharf. The new owners intend putting on some necessary repairs in the near future.
 Nothing succeeds like success" can truly be applied to our friend, J. T. Barron, owner and operator of the Funter Bay cannery. Several years ago he ran the old cannery at Girard Point, near this place, which he disposed of to the P. P. & N. Co.,, after which he went to his present location and began operations. His pack has increased from year to year and this year he has put up 85,0OO cases most of which has been shipped below in good shape. This means for him good, round cleanup, and his Alaska friends are all glad of it.
 Do women gossip more than men?" asks an exchange. They do, but that's because they have more time and not because they have the stronger inclination for it. An idle man can beat a woman gossiping seven days out of every week.
 The most stylish arrangement of a girls hair now seems to be to make it look as much as possible as if it had been combed with a sofa pillow

 Legislation is needed in Alaska to protect the Indians from the wiles of the interruptions whiskey trader according to Right Reverend Bishop P. T. Rowe, Episcopal bishop of Al aska, who spoke at St. Paul's church yesterday morning." says the P.-I. of the 3rd inst Just what legislation is needed in addition to that already written in the Alaska Code, the bish- op does not suggest. The law already in vogue fixes penalty at fine of from one to five hundred dollars or Imprisonment from two to six months for furnishing intoxicating liquor" to Alaska natives. But so long as unprincipled men or firms can make a few dollars through the nef irious practice of selling whiskey or Jamal- ca ginger to Indians, they seem will ing to take their chances and it will take small army of detectives track these law-breakers down and convict them Nnthing less than a Straight
