DIAMOND c DESTROYED
 BY GAS EXPLOSION; TWO
 NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH

The gasboat Diamond c was com pletely destroyed by fire Thursday afternoon while taking on oil and gas at the Union Oil station. Cap tain c. Christensen and Mrs. Chris jensen had come out on deck from the galley and a moment later there was an explosion and the entire boat was in flames.
 MT. Christensen escaped unin- jured but his wife was burned on the face and on the arm. It was nec- essary for the couple to jump into the bay to save themselves. Mrs. Christensen injuries were not dan gerous. Even though her burns were painful she considers herself fortu- nate, as she would most certainly have been killed instantly had she remained in the galley a minute longer.
 Just what caused the explosion is purely coniectural. It is said there had been no fire in the stove since morning, but if a live coal had remained in the stove it could have caused an explosion from gas fumes.
 The Diamond c had been sold by Harry Coulter to Petersburg parties the day before the accident.

WRANGELL'S AIRPORT
 WILL BE LOCATED JUST
 S0U1a OF UEMET.

The hydroplane landing
 which is to be constructed at WI
 geil in the near future will no
 built on the site that was first
 der consideration.
 The site that was first prop
 was that adjoining the Union
 station on the south. Inasmucl
 the Territory of Alaska has az
 to pay 75 per cent of the cost of
 airport the Wrangell Town Cou
 thought it proper for a represeI
 tive of the Territory to conduct
 negotiations for the purchase o site. Accordingly k. j. Somme territorial highway engineer, u up the matter personally with Us Carson, owner Of the strip of bei property that was under conside ton as site. MT. Sommers and | Carson were unable to come to agreement on the price of the pro erty. Therefore the idea of buildi the airport next to the Union { station was dismissed.
 In the meantime c. M. Archbol representative of the U. $. Fore Service, arrived in town, and ait consultation with him it was touI that a very desirable location | an airport was available at the co- just south of the Redmen's cem tery and more ground is aVailab here than on the site that was fir proposed. The airport will be awar ed a liberal allotment of ground ( both sides of the Shoemaker Bf Highway by the U. s. Forest Ser ice, and at no cost whatever. IT site selected is outside the city lin its, but this does not compIlca matters, as the last Territorial IeI islature enacted a law giving ml inequalities the right to expeI money for airport purposes for a di tance of three miles outside the cit limits.
 The initial step for the constru tion of an airport at Wrangel VI taken by the Town Council tV months ago. The matter was take up with the Territorial Board Road Commissioners with the resu that on March 25th R. J. Sommer representing the Board, visite Wrangell and met with the Tow Council at a special meeting. Att hearing the arguments set forth 1 the Council in favor of an airpoI MT. Sommers stated that he Iooke upon the project with favor. He sal that the Ketchikan airport was b, ing built on a cooperative basis, u city paying 50 per cent of the coi of construction. However, owing the smaller population of Wrange he was willing to recommend thi the Wrangeu project be put throug with the municipality paying on 20 per cent of the cost. This IS u minimum amount permitted by laN
 Shortly after MT. Sommers r turned to Juneau the Wrange Town Council was notified that u Territorial Board had approved u Wrangel project. The council WI given the option of letting the col tract or permitting the Territory nave charge of the constructio The council took the matter undo advlsement, and decided that as u major cost of the construction Is b ing borne by the Territory, it is on. proper that the Territory shou have the letting of the contrac The Territory voluntaril agreed not to let the contract unt it has also been approved by tt council.

MIR. CURRAN, A WITNESS.

Mr. Curran, it's president, informs the Senate lobby committee that the Association against Prohibition spent S427 ,000 n its campaign for repeal last year. The outlay was in part for educational effort, in part for the as- sembling of. data and stud yof liquor conditions in other countries, and in part for the support of candidates in sympathy with the position of the as- sociation.
 In short, the association has been doing on one side of the perennial issue exactly what the Anti-Saloon League and the organizations allied with it have been doing on the other. The principal dicerence between it and the latter group is the one of financial resources. The pro-prohibi- tion forces have been spending dol lars where the antis have been able to invest no more than dimes.
 The Association Against Prohibi- tions does not encourage violations. It is conducting constitutional cam paign. It desires repeal of the eighteenth amendment, or, failing that, modification of the Volstead law. It appeals to intelligence and reason and seeks political expression by try ing to obtain the election of senators and representatives sympathetic with it's views. It holds the opinion that when the average congressman is as afraid of an organized revisionist vote as for the past decade he has been afraid of the organized prohibi- tion vote the division on questions af- fecting prohibition in Congress will be more nearly in accord with the di- vision of sentiment in the country at large.
 The association offers no apologies for its program and it's purposes. It doesn't have to.-Fairbanks News Miner.
