Tuneful Operetta To Be Given By Pupils
 Of Wrangell Schools
PERFORMANCE UNDER DIREC- TON OF MISS vALBORG AF- TERNOON AND EVENING

A tuneful operetta called "The Toymakers" will be presented by the pupils of the Wrangell grade and high school under the direction of Miss Valborg- Brunsvald at the Coliseum Theatre February 16, at matinee and evening performances.
 The story is about a poor toymak- CT who lives alone with his old mother, who bullies him unmerci- fully. He labors day and night to make a living. While he sleeps, his toys come alive and hold their revels in his workshop. Chief ann ong them are the Best Doll, Rag Doll, and a Wooden Soldier, and divers quarrels take place.
 The Toymaker is secretly in love with a Princess whom he has seen riding past his window. Unknown to him the Princess returns his love. One day the Emperor sends forth a proclamation that he will bestow his daughters hand upon any toymaker in the land who sue ceeds in making toy that will take the fancy of his capricious little son. The Princess, indignant, vows that she will break up every toy in the land. She comes secretly to the Toymnker's workshop to destroy his work, but the toys imprison her in cupboard at the back of the shop. She is released by the Toymaker. They recognize each other and plight their troth. The Princess promises to do all in her power to help. and makes fine clothes for the toys out of her own dresses. Some days later the Emperor and Prince arrive to inspect the toys. The Prince. however. will have none of the fine toys. but chooses the rag ged and one-armed wooden soldier. Teh Emperor bestows his daughters hand upon the Toymaker, and there is great rejoicing.

Chamber Commerce Wants Action On Various Projects
VISITORS TO CAPITAL WILL BE EMPOWERED TO SEEK INFOR- NATION ON LOCAL WORKS

Determined to do everything pos sible to further the Dry Pass dredg- ing project. the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, at it's Monday noon luncheon at the Wrangell Hotel, again devoted considerable time to a discussion of this matter. The club understands that in the neigh borhood of $17,0OO was appropriate ed for the survey of Dry Pass, and that some work was done, but that the bulk of this money was spent on work in Wrangell Narrows.
 Inasmueh as several members of the chamber have announced their intention to visit Juneau at the time of the capitol dedication, Presi- dent R. N. Scruby detailed these members to call upon the proper of ficials in Juneau and ascertain just what the status of the Dry Pass project is. In addition, the same members are to call upon road of ficials and secure what information may be had concerning the A, P. A. road appropriation and the Pats Lake road survey.
 It was reported to the club that A. c. Mercer, photographer, and Alec Vreatt had been engaged in taking pictures of the harbor and surroundings. for the use of gov ernment officials conducting a sur vey for dredging the harbor.
 Rev. Russell F. Pederson, chair man of the auditing committee, re- ported on the auditing of the cham bers books, and presented a propos- al to decrease the salary of the sec retary. Discussion followed on this point, some members maintaining that the secretary's salary was none too large for the duties sinvolved; the matter was laid over for fur ther consideration.
 c. P. McCreary, lately arrived from Kennecott, addressed the club briefly as a new resident, and Jack Chamberlain, introduced as "the dean of Alaskan travelling men," by President Scruby, told the club that Alaska is the source of a large DOT tion of the future wood pulp sup ply, since recent investigations in dicate that a supposedly large stand of pulp timber on the Olympic Pe- ninsula would furnish but frac- tion of what had been anticipated.

Petersburg Hi And
 Wrangeil Teams To Play Double Header
CAGERS FROM THE NARROWS SEEK REVENGE IN WRAN- CELL FOR LOSS OF GAMES

Wrangell has been victorious in two hard-fought games of basket ball with Petersburg this season, but the town on the Narrows is out for blood this time, and a double headen scheduled to take place at the Gymnasium Saturday night promises to be well worth the price of admission. This time the Pet ersburg high school team will mix with Wrangell town team, while the Petersburg High School second team will clash with the Wrangell Wolves in the first half of the dou- ble header.
 Wrangell's lineup for the town team includes the following star players: Goodrich, f.; Everson, f.; Desmond, C.; Loftus g.. Case, g., Lewis, g.; Bowman, f. These play CTS have been pulling some fast work this season and so far the scores have been all in their favor.
 The lineup for the Wolves is; Grant, f.; Urata, f.; Meldahl, c.; Grant, g.; Lahti, g.; Goodrich f.; Ukas. g.. Teller, g.
 Names of the Petersburg lads are not available, but it is presumed they know how to reach the baskets.
 Admission to the game will be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for kids. A snappy dance will follow the game. with Walter Bidwell and his Smalltown Entertainers engaged to furnish the music.
 Last week the Wrangell town team journeyed to Petersburg, ac- companied by a sizeable crowd of rooters, and cleaned up on the Pet ersburg team by lop-sided score in which Goodrich made oven half of the 40 points gathered Excel lent teamwork backed up the star basket-shooter who, to quote one of his teammates "just couldn't miss. 5 The boys report a fine time in Pet ersburg and a capacity crowd at the game, and they are hoping to reciprocate when Petersburg arrives here tomorrow.

Another Member Of WiCkerSham Com. Explains Report
LOEsCH EXPRESSES OPINION THAT REPORT WILL BE ISSUE IN NEXT CAMPAIGN

CHICAGO, Jan. 31-Frank J. Loesch, member of the Wickersham committee, said today that the com mittee sought primarily to prevent the return of the saloon.
 "The closing of the saloon," he said, twas one of the big aceomp- lishments of prohibition. That is why the commission recommended revision and opposed repeal. La- bor and industry appear to be unan- imously against the open saloon"
 Loesch expressed the opinion that the report will be an issue in the 1882 elections. He denied that any one attempted to influence the re- port, thus scouting further reports that President Hoover had infiuenc- ed tempering statements originally intended as final. Several members of the commission, including Chair man Wickersham and Kenneth Mac intosh of Seattle, have made similar denials
 Loesch explained here today that he favors a plan for the appoint ment of non-partisan commission to supervise some private liquor handling corporation.
 Note: Reading between the lines of the foregoing statement, 1t might appear that had the commission felt certain of being able to prevent return of the saloon, it would have raoonmandad raviaion 0r reDoal Of the prohibition law.-Editor.
