THE WHOLE TOWNS TALKING"
 ABOUT THE BILLS CLUB PLAY

Imagine a small town local boy having a filtration and falling in love with a famous movie queen who reciprocates his attentions to the fullest degree. No wonder the whole town starts talking. That is the story that Simmons framed up to get his daughter interested in Chet Binney, whom he wants Ethel to marry. This plan works out well for a time, and then several monkey wrenches are accidentally thrown into the machinery, and there is a crack-up.
 We have neither time nor space to tell the whole story here, but 1t will be explained and very effect iyely told Thursday, September 23, at the Coliseum Theater, when an all-star cast of Wrangell players will produce the one hundred per cent American comedy "The Whole Towns Talking" Popular prices will prevail and everything possible will be done to make the event en- joyable for all who attend the show.
 This event is being sponsored by the Bills Club, and more than mon ley's worth in amusement value is guaranteed by the committee hav- ing charge of the production.

KalkinS Back
 From Tulsequah
Reports Discontinuance of Prospect ing by Alaska Juneau
 Company

Capt Edward Kalkins, we'll known marine engineer and pioneer motor boat navigator on the Stik- inc, arrived from Juneau on the last trip of the Admiral Rogers af- ter an absence of five months. dur ing which time he was in command of the United Transportation Com pany's motorboat Jeanne, plying be- tween Taku Point and Telsequah, B. C. He reports a discontinuance of development work on the Alaska Ju- neau properties at Telsequah for this season, but predicts renewed activities for 1881.
 Capt. Kalkins. a former associate of Wm. Strong on the Stikine, left Wrangell late last March to take command of the new Taku riverboat Jeanne, which was built for Strong last winter in Juneau. More than 300 passengers and practically allof the supplies and mining equipment for the new properties on the Taku were transported to Telsequah on the Jeanne without a single mis- hap, and although there has been temporary cessation of develop ment work in that district, renewed activity is indicated for the spring of 1881, Kalkins said
 Failure to obtain a renewal of op tion on the Big Bull group is said to be the cause of the Alaska Ju neau Company halting development work. This company has spent about $250,000 in prospecting the property, according to reports cur rent in Juneau, but the showing so far has not been favorable and the option was allowed to lapse. All supplies and equipment belonging to the company have been transported to Juneau and the Jeanne was laid up September 1.
 There has been no development work on the United Eastern prop critics this season. but the work done last fall indicated ore in pay ing quantities for seven years, and there is no doubt that this concern will continue work next season. says Kalkins. The Whitewater proper ties and the Erickson-Aspe group are favored prospects and attractive offers have been made for both.
 Three or four big mining compan- ies have had their engineers in the field this summer, and while they are not offering very much in the way of cash payments for Taku claims, they seem willing to gam ble on the results of their prospect ing. The Consolidated is reported to have offered s10,000 cash and an agreement to spend s325,O00 in prospecting one claim. The offer was refused, however.
 Capt Kalkins made three trips up as far as the mouth of the Ink lin with prospectors. Most of these men will continue their exploring until the close of navigation, and the greater part of them have de- clared their intentions of remaining somewhere on the Taku through the winter. Strong's post at Telsequah is we'll stocked and there will be no lack of provisions. Kalkins expects to resume command of the Jeanne as soon as navigation opens.

Publisher of Wrangell Sentinel Succumbs in Vancouver
 After Long Illness

News of the death of James w. Pritehett, owner and editor of the Wrangell Sentinel, at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning in St. Paul's hos pital in Vancouver, was flashed to Wrangell before noon the same day, and was received with dismay by his many friends in this eommun- ity. Even those who were closest to him and understood the gravity of his illness were taken by sur prise, for it was thought that his trip south might mean a partial if not a complete recovery. Enlarge ment of the spleen was given as the cause of his death.
 Sixteen, months ago, about the middle of May, 1929. MT. Pritchett entered the Wrangell General Hos pital for observation. A month lat CT. upon the advice of the attending physi ian, Dr. E. H. Edwards, he went to New York to receive treat ment from Dr. Wood, an eminent radiologist at St. Luke's hospital.
 He returned to Wrangell much improved, but gradually began to fail again. About three weeks ago his illness became acute, and after two weeks in the hospital here he decided to undertake the voyage to Seattle, en route to New York for further treatment He left Wran gell August 31 on the steamer Prince Rupert, but by the time the vessel reached Vancouver his condi- tion was so serious that Miss Irene Collier, who was attending him on the way. decided that expert med 1cal aid was urgently needed, and he was rushed to St. Paurs hospital. He passed away five days later, on Monday. September s.
 Mrs. Pritchett, who had reluct antly remained in Wrangell to full fill Mr. Pritchett's obligation of publishing the Sentinel, wiredt to Juneau for an airplane and left for Vancouver the next morning. The body will be taken to Boise, Idaho, Saturday morning, where funeral services will be held by the Masons.
 James ". Pritchett, son of Con fedeate army officer, was born in Fayette, Alabama, December 2S, 1878. He was left fatherless when but a lad, and was compelled to forego schooling in the grades in order that he might contribute to the support of his mother and sis ter. Later, by working nights, he prepared himself for college. Jour naIism claimed him before he could enter the university of his choice, however. and after spending a num- Der of years in newspaper work on 4be border and in Mexico, he start set for Alaska, landing in Skagway in 1914.
 In September, 1916. after serving about two years as foreman of the Skagway Alaskan, he came to

Geological Party
 Bound Up Stikine
Dr. F. A. Kerr Heads Party Bound For Headwaters of Clear
 water River

pr. Forest Kerr of the Canadian Geological Survey. accompanied by Mrs. Kerr and a staff of four men, arrived from Juneau on the Ala meda to undertake a months ex- ploratory work between the head waters of the Clearwater and Whit ing rivers. The party has been en- gagged in reconnaissance work of a like character in the Taku country for the past three months. John nie Buck" choquette of wrangell is member of the expedition.
 pr. Kerr and his men passed through Wrangell about the middle of June, bound for the Taku. Their object was to "tie up' that section of the province with surveys which had been made in the Stikine re- zion during the past three years. Considerable time was spent in the country lying between the Taku and the lower Whiting, which pr. Kerr describes as being one of the most inaccessible districts in British Co., Iumbia.
 Travel with 0utboards
 The surveyors ascended the Whit ing twelve miles with light river scows propelled by kickers. They met a number of prospectors sent out by the Consolidated Company, but nearly all of them were head ed back to the coast. The granite formation pormised little in the way of pay ore. the river was ex- tremely difficult to navigate, and the country as a whole was inhos- pitable.
 pr. Kerr said that the section between the Taku and the Scutla- hena, an unexplored river which flows from the center of the Coast Range between the Whiting and the Taku, is the most promising that he had seen, viewing it from the OA n pAOoPCSbOAs IL would be rather a difficult country to penetrate on foot, but there are many lakes on which an airplane might land.
 Will Ascend Clearwater 'S-s pr. Kerr's party left Wrangell to- day on the Hazel B. No. 4, bound for the mouth of the Clearwater river Here their boats will be ov- and made ready for the of some really swift wa ter. They hope to ascend the Clear water to its head with enough pro- visions to last them a month. From there they will begin their work of l and mapping the divide between the Clearwater and the | east fork of the Whiting.
 Previous reconnaissance by mem bers of the International Boundary Survey, revealed nothing but seem- ingly interminable icefields with here and there a bare peak of gran ite upthrust through the glaciers. Dr. Kerr will attempt to cross the icy barrier and ascertain just what lies beyond it. If he is fortunate enough to reach the summit of the divide during a spell of clear wealth CT, it is possible that he may dis tinguish certain upstanding peaks which he glimpsed with his instru- ments while he was mapping the Taku The intervening country will thus be tiled in" with the Stikine.

The woman who cares knows
that she cannot afford to ex-

slowed by nature. She realizes
that only expert attention can
keep her hair, her nails, her

realizes, too, that attention to
these gifts must not be post
