THE MARRY

bring a man to the proposing
point, she can nearly always
succeed, at the last minute, by
giving him up"-for another
man.
Many a man who prides him.
self on his brilliant eloqUence
has found that the four little
words, will you marry nle?"
just stick in his throat and
leave him inarticulate.
Lots of women have begun
making their own dresses these
days, which must be quite a
shock to the style-dictators who
started them back on the road
to mid-VictorianiSm. But then,
as the salesgirl says, it's 80
feminine!"
Nothing so amazes a wife as
to discover that the man who
is too helpless" to fix his
own eggs and sweeten his own
coffee at home is known
among his fishing cronies as
the ''best cook and dish-washer"
in camp.
Half-long hair may make a
flapper look only a little frowsy;
but when a middle-aged woman
tries it she looks like nothing
so much as Boadicea after a
hard fight.
It takes more strength of
will than any normal woman
possesses to say mo" to a
man she loves when he pleads
for another chance" another
kiss" or another helping of
the food that diSagrees with
him.
The old-fashioned woman
used to keep her marriage GER
tificate in a gilt frame on the
wall. But in these days almost
any good gilt frame will out
last two or three marriage GER
tificateS.
All those jokes may be true
about a woman's inability to
throw a bah straight. but her
aim always seems to be accu.
rate when she starts out to
shoot her husband.

SONG OF THE WEST

A thrilling story of the West Of the covered wagon days, with glorious outdoor background in natural colors, is "The Song of the West, the new Warner Bros Vitaphone operetta. It certainly marks a new era in picture production, for all thru the gay singing and dancing and the magnificent scenes there runs a strain of intense drama. Unlike most musical produc tions, Song of the West" can boast a fine and stirring story.
 There are many dramatic in cidents as the story unfolds and always the spectator feels the excitement and thrill that must hay been experienced by the brave pioneers of 1849 as they set out in their crude covered wagons to blaze a trail across the desolate stretches and thus lay the foundation for the in- cjustry of this great nation some of them made fortunes. More often they did not. But always there was the dauntless spirit and this one feels in. watching Song of the West"
 There is a delicate love story That of a beautiful girl who fall' in love with and marries a mar who, through a misunderstood I ling, is an army deserter. Thei

Canning G. Makes
 Creditors Assignment

The Wrangell Narrows Pack ling Company last Saturday 1 evening made an assignment of all of it's properties, real and personal, to it's creditors. This move was made voluntarily to protect the creditors, which in 2ludes various business houses as well as fishermen.
 A couple of weeks ago when the company met with f1nancial difficulties, majority of the cre- ditors secured the services of William L. Paul so he proceeded to protect their claims. Through some peculiar twist in circum- stances, Lawyer McMonagle of Juneau got into the case while MT. Paul was in Ketchikan. When Paul returned he found things in not only bad financial condition but in a fair way to become pretty much entangled n the red tape of the law and courts. He immediately called a meeting of the creditors and the company and an assignment was made by the company to the creditors with MT. Paul as trustee. Where now rests the case.
 It is not improbable that the difficulties will be all irOned out and arrangements made whereby the cannery can oper- ate again next year. The matter will rest entirely with the show ing made by the company in it's effort to cover all the liabilities and possible arrangements with creditors for the balance owing whether or not the company will again become solvent.

"Much Ado About
 Nothing Ends We'll

Last week was reported in oHE columns the arrest of Cap Haugen, superintendent and manager of the Wrangell Mar rows Packing Company and Robert Pierce, the company 2 bookkeeper, on charge of issuing fraudulent checks.
 Walter King, assistant di strict attorney journeyed to Peters burg from Ketchikan to inyesti- gate the charges. Going into the matter thoroughly, he asked dismissal of the charge.
 However he investigated a charge of selling denatured al cohol preferred against James H. Wheeler, member of that same firm, witnesses were called into the jail building and put thru a severe grilling. Unable to find that MT. Wheeler sold the poison for beverage purposes, he recommended that the charge be dismissed.
 Saturday afternoon Cap Haugen was again arrested. This time on a charge of contribut- ing to the delinquency of a minor. Case was called for nine o'clock that night. An interested spectator wishing to hear the proceedings went to the jail building but was refused admit tance by c. V. Brown, U. s. De- putty Marshal for Petersburg.
 King represented the govern ment in it's prosecution of the case and William l.. Paul or heG- chikan represented the defense The government asked dismissal of the case after hearing wit neSSeS.
 The cases apparently arose out of the financial difficulties o1 this cannery and smacked o1 persecution. Principals are Stil wondering whether or not they 1 will not be arrested on some ther charge. Not that they have my guilty conscience but fol the fact that they are kept il more or less suspense.

Giiven q Promotion

Carol Clausen, for the past several years United States Commissioner and Judge in Petersburg, was advised by Judge Justin Harding of the J. s. Dis trict Court this date that the office of commissioner in Peters burg will be elevated to that of 2 part of the district court and that MT. Clausen hereafter will be clerk of the court. The pay will be elevated to half that of .he other clerks of the court.
 This promotion comes after several years of efficient service as judge in this precinct and MT. Clausen is being congratu- lated.
 For the past several years this publication has made con- siderable effort to have a clerk of the court in this precinct. A large percentage of naturaliza- ton in the First Division comes from Petersburg. The expense which the would-be citizen must incur before he can be a citizen of the United States at times has been out of reason. Some have been unable to complete naturalization because of this condition. With the appoint lnent of a clerk of the court in this precinct this heavy expense will be done away with. Fol which Petersborg is duly grate- full.

 Vivienne Segal, well-known on the stage but new to screen audiences gives delightful per formance. She can act as we'll as dance and sing. John Boles, in the leading role opposite Miss Segal, brings to this picture a splendid voice and acting that makes him popular with the fans who have seen him in "The Desert Song" Joe E. Brown, sup plies some fine comedy and Sam Hardy and Rudolph Cameron both handle their roles intelli- gently. This is picture you should not miss.

 Foul Play Victlm

i Last spring Peter L. Williams
 of the KuSkoWim River came tC Seattle and then journeyed tC Ketchikan to learn what the
 Alaska Native Brotherhood was doing and what it's principles were. Satisfying himself that this organization was a worthy one he immediately made appli- cation for membership and was initiated. The President of the
 Grand Camp gave him power of attorney to represent the Grand President as organizer of the Brotherhood in the KuSkoWim country. After visiting in Ketchi- kan for a short time, he express cd desire to visit this plant so he came up here.
 Returning to Seattle he took passage to his home and word now comes that he was lost while cut hunting and returned no more. The length of time he was out precluded his returning alive.
 Peter received much of his business training and schooling from Karl Thiele, Secretary for the Territory and was successful
 n his undertaking His death removes from the Westward sec ton a strong, clean character imbued with the spirit of work ing for the advancement of his reople. And while yet young in the Brotherhood work his going caves @ vacant place that will be hard to fill.
 Report from Akiak now indi- cates that he was the victim of foul play A large quantity of iquor was found in the vicinity where he was hunting. U. s. de- putty marshal Wiseman has be- gun an investigation.

Union Typos Vote to aI
 Moue Headquarters

After having maintained head quarters in Indianapolis for nearly half a century, the Inter national Typographical Union voted at it's seventy-fifth annual convention in Houston, Texas, last week to move it's offices, staff and over $6,OOO,OOO bank account to some other city.
 This action has been discussed among the union printers of the United States and Canada for two or three years. They object ed to remaining in Indianapolis because of the unfriendly atti- tude of the big business interests and courts of the Hoosier capital toward the organized labor move ment.
 Now Goes to Referendum
 At the I. T. U. convention in Seattle year ago the matter was debated and a special committee named to investigate the anti union atmosphere in Indinna- polls, whose chamber of com merce had frequently proclaim ed it an "open shop" industrial center.
 This committee reached the conclusion that I. T. U. head quarters offices should be moved. It so reported to the conven- tion at Houston last week and after several hours debate the delegates, by a considerable ma jOrity, voted to concur in the rec Ommendation of the committee.
 Under the laws of the I. T. U. it will be necessary to submit the proposition to a referendum vote of the entire membership. If the majority vote in favor of nov ing, as appears very probable, the international officials will be au- thorized to proceed.
 First local unions will nomin- ate cities for the honor of hous- ing the Typos headquarters. Then another referendum will be taken and the city receiving a will be selected.
