James Waters Killed In Motor Car Accident
PROMISING WRANGELL BOY MEETS INSTANT DEATH IN SIDE-SWIPED CAR AT PAL0 ALTO, CALIFORNIA

News of the death of James Bell by Waters, 21-year-old son of MT. and Mrs. Walten Waters, in an auto collision near Palo Alto. California, on September 26, reached Wran- gell early last Saturday, describing in a few words the untimely end of one of Wrangell's finest young men.
 Little is known of the accident other than that the car in which Jimmie was riding was side-swiped by another car and that he was thrown out. Death is thought to have occurred instantly by frac- ture of the skull. Apparently it was an unavoidable accident. The oth- CT passengers in the car were un- injured.
 James Waters was born in To- ronto. Canada, 21 years ago, and was the third child born in a fam fly of five, an elder brother and sister having died some years ago. He received his early education in the Wrangell schools and at the age of II attended a military acad- emy in Victoria, B. c. He was at tending University High School at Palo Alto when the accident oc- cured.
 Jimmie, as he was familiarly known in Wrangell was a particu- larly fine young man. He was an enthusiastic mariner, treading the decks of his fathers boats on the west coast mail run as a lad, later becoming perhaps the youngest li- censed captain in southeast Alaska waters. During the past summer he was master of the Beilby, run ming under charter to S. G. Gubser, predatory animal hunter for the U. S. Biological Survey,
 James is survived by his parents and by a sister, Glenora. aged 14, and a brother, Jack, 10 years old. Walter Waters left for Palo Alto gn the Northland last Sunday morning and Mrs. Walters will join him by the next southbound steam CT. Interment will be made in Se- attle.

SAYS HOME BREWER IS
 BEYOND FEDERAL REACH

WASHINGTON, D. CA citizen who manufactures wine or beer in his home for home consumption, where no sales are involved, is held by Prohibition Director Woodcock to be beyond the reach of federal enforcement agencies.
 As a matter of law, Woodcock explained, the home manufacturer is liable to punishment if the liq- uor he produces is intoxicating in fact.
 This" he said. "is a point for a jury to decide. Practically speak ing, however, evidence to bring a home manufacturer to trial cannot be obtained unless commercial fea- lures are involved upon which a search warrant can be issued"

George Briggs, retired business man of Santa Ana, California, &C., companied by his hunting compan- ion, Carl Harrington, arrived in Wrangell Monday morning on the Hazel B. No. after a 40-day hunt in the Klappan district of the Cas- siar. This was his fourth hunting trip to the Cassiar. John Craig was the guide and they used sev- en horses.

Anderson Bros. Will Construct New Vessel
COMBINATION TR0LLER-SEIN- ER-HALIBUT BOAT; WILL BE FIRST BOAT OF A NEW DE- SIGN: FOR B. A. GREEN

Work will begin in the mold loft of the Anderson Brothers Boat Shop next week on a 40-foot combi- nation g-seining-halibut boat, designed by H. c. Hansen, we'll known marine architect of Seattle. Bernard A. Green, recently from Fairbanks, and who has been hand trolling out of Wrangell this sum- mer, is to be the owner of the new boat.
 A boat designed for three kinds of fishing-trolling seining and halibuting-is a new departure in marine architecture, and the Ander- son Brothers are said to be the first builders of such a craft.
 The craft will have a seine boat type stern, a 10-foot beam, and will be powered by a 30 h.-p. La- throp engine which will also drive a winch for hauling in on gear as we'll as for lifting anchor. The engine room and living quarters will be separate.
 The fishing boat Arctic, Capt. Frank Desmond, is on the ways of the Anderson Brothers Shop to re- ceive a new deck, new strakes and to be recaulked.
 The seine boat Port Tongass also went on the ways for overhauling this week.

PIT. A. WILL MEET TO
 DISCUSS PLANS FOR FUTURE

A meeting of the executive board to discuss the fate of the organiza- tion, and it was decided to call a meeting at the grade school Friday evening, October 10, when everyone interested will be given an oppor. tunity to be heard. A notice of the meeting appears elsewhere in this issue.
 The local PIT. A. has been in existence about ten years and was organized at "a time when dis tinct need was felt for such an or ganization. It fiourished from the beginning and accomplished much good for the schools.
 Persistent effort on the part of the chosen leaders has been nec- essary, not only during the school year but throughout the vacation months. in order to meet the finan- cial obligations; and only those most closely connected with the work know the extent of that eff fort.
 The loss of several members who at all times have given of their best to keep the organization alive is keenly felt, and it is quite nec- essary at this time to have an ex- pression from the parents of Wran- gell on the need of a Pr. A and a willingness to help in the work of the organization.

Coronation Island Scene Of Disaster When Many Boats Are Lost
MEAGER REPORTS RECEIVED IN KETCHIKAN VIA CAPE DE- CISI0N; CYGAN GOES TO RES CUE; KETCHIKAN MAN LOST

Five trolling boats were sunk, five were stranded and one is miss ing at Aats Bay on Coronation Is land off the northwest coast of Prince of Wales as a result of the raging southeast gales that hit the southern section of Alaska Thurs day and Friday of last week, ac- cording to reports received in Ketchikan by the Chronicle last Saturday night.
 The following boats are reported to be total wrecks: The Astrea, owned by Rudolph Bernhoft, who lost his life; the Pet, owned by a man by the name of Larsen; the Francis, owners name unknown; the Loyera, Nordby Supply Com pany boat, skippered by Ike Brick son; a boat owned by Dell, name unknown, and one other small troller the name of which is un- known.
 The Hike, the Fish Hound, and
 
 a boat belonging to John Teeter, were stranded on the beach while Walter Carlson's boat the Elsie, the Mynx and the Idena were also stranded but had been later float ed and beached. The boats of Eric Johnson, Teeter and Nordstrom were later lowed into Kell Bay on Kuiu Island.
 Boats Caught in the Dark
 The storm which wrecked the fleet came on with the greatest vio lence early Saturday morning while it was dark The boats were well punched in small cup-like part of Aats barbor While the harbor is on the north side of the island, the southeast gale came through the passes and over the hills in the form of woolies which fairly lifted the water. To make things worse. heavy seas crashed into the en- trance of the harbor. The sandy bottom afforded poor holding ground for the anchors. Several boats got away under their own power and headed into the ocean and then turned tail to the wind for shelter at Kuiu Island. Some of the smaller boats, even with power continued to drift before the force of the wind. Besides the ter rife pounding of the waves on the beach there was a smother of foam from flying water and darkness to add to the confusion. Those famil jar with the situation say it was a miracle that no more than .one life was lost.
 Ketchikan Fisherman Drowns
 Rudolph Bernhoft victim of the storm, was a well-known resident of Ketchikan. He had resided in that city for the past thirteen years and was one of the best known troller fishermen in Alaska. He was a native of Norway and was AT years old He is survived by a widow and two children, and a brother-in-law, Ed Thane at Port Alexander, who reported that Bern hoft was seen to go down in a row boat by men who were unable to go to his assistance.
