FRED LYNCH CELEBRATES
 NNETY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY

WrangelPs oldest citizen observed his ninety-fifth birthday last Sun day. Fred Lynch, born in Cork, Ireland, came to Alaska in 1874, following the mining stampedes through the Fraser and the Ominica to the Cassiar.
 Few men live to that ripe age these days and Lynch looks back on many years of frontier life. British Columbia was a wilderness when he first started to wander north and he recalls with considerable gusto an episode that occurred at Fort St. James, then the capital of New Cal edonia.
 Those were the days of the fur kings, and Peter ogden, factor for the Hudson's Bay Company had all the powers of a mogul. Came the time when his daughter was to mar ry his chief clerk and there being no clergyman handy Ogden performed the ceremony himself. All went well until the bridegroom, over estimating his capacity at the we'd ding feast, drank himself into a state of sublime forgetfulness.
 Take six months to sober up," commanded the irate father-in-law. He forthwith banished him to some remote fur post. And that, said Lynch, was how Peter 0gden's son. in-law remained a bachelor for six months after his wedding.

TRAPMEN AND SEWERS STOW
 GEAR AS SEASON ENDS

Would that Stewart Edward White had tarried here long enough -O gather up the loose threads and weave them into a yarn, for never .n the history of the Alaska fisher ses have there been so many con- dieting stories of salmon. Bristol pay total failure, Cooks Inlet not 70 ba d, Ketchikan spotted. Icy straits traps brailed every two or three hours to keep the fish from running off with the gear, and Wrangell out of luck because of a late run.
 One seine crew in the Ketchikan area is reported to have shared the proceeds from 90,000 salmon. In the Wrangell district Peter John on the Alyeska, is high boat with 44,OO0. The Aeroplane. the Rustler and the Twin ran close together in the number of fish caught.
 PeUer John tells an interesting story of how he outwitted one school Of humpies. Hearing of the congestion at Anan Creek he cruised along the Point Warde shore, hop ing that the fish might become dis gusted with the crowded condition of the stream and go elsewhere to spawn. He set hls hooks for south bound salmon and pursed up 5000 at one hauI. All oI these salmon, said Peter John, showed evidence of having been in the lagoon.
 Out at Moves Island a seine crew, impatient with the run, pushed Doidiy out into the open sea to find out what detained the fish. They made a set and pursed up 15,000 salmon, but they were unable to carry that many fish so they hailed two passing boats and loaded them to capacity.
 U1 the trapmen in the Wrangell district, Andy Johnson seems to noId the record. His trap at Snow rass caught 13,000 fish the last day of the season, which was more than he had caught all the rest Of the season. Grover Foster reports a pad season; Coulter anl Jenkins the same. Gundersons traps at Lincoln ROCK ana screen Islands also made d poor snowlng as did the Diamond IA and WrangeIl Packing Corpora LIon traps along the same shore.

MEDICAL OFFICERS VIGILANT
 IN EFFORTS TO PREVENT
 TYPHOID EPIDEMIC IN ALASKA

Archie Demmert of Klawock who has been very i'll at the Wrangell General hospital from typhoid fever, is making a satisfactory recovery. Special night and day nurses have not been necessary for him for the past two days.
 The young man entered the hos pital on August 14th having been brought in from Klawock on the mission boat Princeton. Dr. Ellis H. iEdwards, who made the examina- tion, recognized the symptoms of ty- phoid fever and sent a specimen of tth patients blood to Seattle lab oratory for verification of his diag- nosis. He received a wire that the reaction to the Vidal test was posi- tive.
 Upon receipt of this information pr. Edwards, who is U. s. Public Health Officer for this port, prompt ly notified Dr. H. c. DeVighne, Ter ritorial Health Officer at Juneau. A supply of typhoid vaccine or dered sent to Wrangell from the U. S. Public Health Service at Seattle, was carried by to Juneau. On find ing this out Dr. DeVighne took the vaccine and chartering an airplane flew to Klawock where he found a younger brother of Archie Demmert i'll with typhoid symptoms.
 A searching investigation is being made at Klawock to ascertain the source of contagion and all contacts of the Demmert family have been inocculated with the vaccine in an effort to stamp out the disease before it gets a foothold in the Ter Gitory. Alaska has never had a ty- phoid epidemic, the few cases which have appeared were in each in- stance contracted in the States be- l fore coming to Alaska.

BIG GAME HUNTERS
 LEAVE FOR CASSIAR

Dr. and Mrs. G. c. Ullery, of Springfield, Ohio, arrived in Wran- gell on the steamer Queen last Sum- day, enroute to the big game fields of the Cassiar. Their guide, Pat Me- Klusky, was waiting here to meet them.
 The Ullerys are not strangers in Wrangell. In 1928 they made their pioneer trip to the Dease river coun- try in search of trophies. They were successful in bagging moose, goat, caribou and bear, but as they had previously decided on a river hunt, without horses, they did not pene- trate the sheep country.
 This year, with the same guide, they will undertake hunt south of Telegraph Creek, possibly in the Klappan country, with a view to ob- taining sheep heads and possibly a large grizzly.
 Pat McKlusky is a we'll known and popular Cassiar guide whose ex- ploits have been chronicled in var ious sporting magazines for the past twenty years, and there is every Likelihood that his party will have a successful hunt, no matter where he takes them.

Local Hunters Missing

Anxiety over the safety of Harry Dalgity and Carl Stoeckel, who left here last Saturday for a hunting trip to Woronkofski Island, was the cause of two search parties setting out from Wrangen today. A row. boat, identified as that in which the hunters left Wrangell, was found on the beach close to the big slide in Chichagof Pass. It is thought that the two men are safely oamped somewhere on the mountain,

Wrangell District
 Pack Exceeds 1929

The total salmon pack for seven eanneries in the Wrangell district IS 276, TOP cases, according to the figures made public this week by Warden l.. V. Baker, Of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries. These figures include 61 cases of kings, 15,2S3 reds, 21S,075 pinks. 2S,693 chums, 14,506 echoes and S4 steelheads.

 A large percentage of fish packed in the Wrangell District this year came from outside points, according to the best information obtainable by the Sentinel. Many a boatload of salmon came from Icy Straits during the first weeks of the can ming season, 1t is said. A Chatham Straits floating trap caught close to a million fish and other traps in that district are reported to have done equally well.

OLDTIME PROSPECTOR
 WILL PURSUE CALLING
 ALONG STIKINE RIVER

J. w. Kincannon, well known northern prospeetor, arrived in Wrangell on the last trip of the Hazel B No. 2, after a two-year prospecting trip in the Dease Lake country. On his way down the Sti- kline he sighted ledge that looked good, and he immediately arranged for transportation back to that part of the river. He expects to remain in that vicinity until the close of navi- gation.
 Kincannon is veteran prospec- tor, known from California to Daw- son. Born in 1S49 he has pursued his calling since he was old enough to wield prospector's pick, in Cali fornia, Oregon, Idaho, the Cassiar, and the Yukon. He has made sever al discoveries and sold out with profit, but the "big strike" is still ahead of him.
 In 1897 he joined the rush to the Klondike, froze in at the mouth of the Stewart, and arrived in Dawson with two moose that he had shot on the way down. He traded part of this meat for some salt, then selling for a dollar a pound, and with some few provisions that he had brought in he managed to live through the winter with other ,famine-stricken sourdoughs. He staked on Bonanza, and Henderson creeks but drew blanks on both.
 Like most men of his calling Kin cannon has faced many bitter dis appointments. Once in the Couer d'Alene, after weeks spent in trac- ing a mineralized vein that after ward proved to be tungsen, he found that he was on the patented land of some mining company.
 Kincannon first came to Wran- gell in 1909, on his way to the Cas- eiar. He was acquainted with War burton Pike, Beauclere, and most the other mining men of the day. He has made five trips into the Cassiar and prospected widely. Two years ago he found what he thought was a good prospect on Ready creek, but after completing over two hundred feet of tunnel he was compelled, for lack of funds, to abandon the work.
 The Stikine holds more promise than any other district in the north, Kincannon believes. The district below the canyon is virgin territory for the prospector, he said, and even with many men in the field it will take years to prospect the country within easy reach of the river.
