throw a new set of problems into MacDonald's lap. He in- dicated as much when early returns clearly S h o w e d a sweeping victory. His first statement was to the effect the victory was to the Ma tional Government and not to individual parties.
 Arthur Henderson's Labor Party was crushed, Henderson being de- feated in his own district and leaving the party leaderless.
 The London Daily Express, own ed by Lord Beaverbrook, appeared today under a streaming banner line declaring the Socialist Party was wiped out in yesterdays cleo tion and is triumph for imper- ial protection"
 With returns from 200 consti- tusncies reporting last night, it was then indicated the National Gov ernment had been continued in power in victory that approached landslide proportions. Not only Arthur Henderson, who succeeded Macdonald as Labor chieftain, but other Labor leaders were swept into the discard.
 The polls closed at o'clock last night. Today 308 seats had been reported and there are still BOT remaining. All of these should be in before tonight.
 LOSES 200 SEATS
 LONDON, Oct. 28.-The Labor Party, whose leadership fell to Ar thu1 Henderson when Macdonald was deposed, lost more than 200 seats in the House of Commons, and will probably not have more than 50 members in the new Parlia- ment, as the result of yesterdays election. However the fact that the Labor Party candidates boiled nearly half as many votes as cast by the victorious National parties indicates labor as political fac tor, is far from being permanently swamped
 On the basis of the latest re- turns, now almost complete, late this afternoon the Mcdonald Gov ernment has 541 votes in the House of Commons against 49 for the Labor opposition, the greatest Parliamentary margin in Great BritainS history.
 MacDonald's son, Labor candi- date, was elected sa

CHAD WYATT NARROWED AT TEBENKOF BAY WHEN THE CHESTER L. BURNS

Returning from his trap line at the far end of Tebenkof Bay on Kuiu Island, Chad Wyatt reached the beach in time to gee his gas boat, the Chester L., take fire and burn. There were no other boats around Tebenkof at the time. He lowed the craft to the beach in order to salvage the engine and ma rine hardware, then sought shelter with a nearby fox farmer on Ross Island
 Wyatt reports that he put shov el full of coal in the stove and closed the draft before leaving for his trapline December 15. A few hours later, while he was descend ing the mountain on his way back to the beach. he heard cartridges exploding. A few minutes later the tanks exploded. He hurried to his skiff and rowed out to the boat, but the fire had gained too much huadway to be extinguished.

Commercial Club To Elect New
 Board Directors
WILL DISCUSS ADVISABILITY OF INCREASING MEMBERSHIP DUES; REFUSE TO KICK CON- CERNING NEW FISH RULES

Tomorrow night at 7;90. in the Bills Club, the Wrangell Conner cial Club will meet for the purpose of electing new board of direct DTS who, in turn, will meet soon after for the election of new off, cers to serve the club through the ensuing year.
 Faced with the fact of insuffi- cient income to meet expenses, the proposition of increasing member ship dues will be one of the mat ters under discussion at the meet ing. At the regular meeting last Monday noon this matter was brief ly discussed, and it was suggested that it might be found advisable to place membership on a basis of active and honorary membership, the active members to pay a higher rate of dues than the honorary. It was the sentiment of the club that if the town is not sufficiently in terested in the club and the work it tries to do to support it by be- coming members, then the club might as well disband.
 The attention of the club was called by Leo Mccormack to the opening of the new capitol building in Juneau January 31, and it was suggested that the club might ar range to send an official representa- tive to the opening. Special induce ments are being offered by the Northland Transportation Company to those desiring to make the trip.
 A telegram from the Ketchikan club was read, requesting that the Wrangell club concur with Ketchi- kan in protesting the new fisheries regulation forbidding the use of wire spillers on traps. In view of the fact that the new regulation seems to work no hardship on traps in the Wrangei1 area, it was decid- ed by the club that no action should be taken.
 The club extends an urgent invi- tation to all members to attend the meeting tomorrow night and take part in the selection of officers for. the coming year.

WESTWARD SHEEP HOLDS RECORD FOR LONG WOOL

"You can talk about your heavy feeces and your long-sbaple wool, but the Aleutians take the prize, I think" said Captain Amund An derson of the M. s. Penguin. new Bureau of Fisheries flagship, now proceeding to her new station at Unalaska.
 When we were up to the Vest ward earlier in the summer, I talk- ed to a man named Mcintosh who is connected with the Aleutian Live stock Company on Gmnak Island, He told me of one eve they shear ed there last spring that yielded a 63-pound fleece. It was a freak and her wool dragged on the ground. saw the fleece and we measured the staple. It was IT inches long. That must be rec ord fon the entire world. I never have heard or seen anything like it. This eve was one of the herd of several thousand on Umnak and though she was exceptional, the bulk of the flock are said to be producing the finest wool in the world, and I can we'll believe it.. The conditions seem to be right and I look for a great livestock indus try to develop in Westward Alas ka. ."-Gateway.

Two Are DrOWne1 In DeaSe River
 When Boat UpsetS
JOHN CAMPBELL AND JOHN ESNER LOST; ERVINE SAVED BY CLINGING TO BOAT

According to word received in Wrangell this week, John Campbell and John Esner, two well-known Cassiar miners, were drowned in Cottonwood Rapids on Dease River late last fall E. Ervine, the third member of the party, saved him. self by clinging to the boat after it upset. He reported the casual ties to the Hudson's Bay post keep CT at McDames Cheek, whence came word of the disaster.
 Campbell was employed by the Cassiar Hydraulic Mines, Ltd. of Wrangell during the past summer, according to F. H. Bryant, superin- tendent, who is spending the winter in Wrangell. When work at the mine was discontinued for the win ter, Campbell and Esner built a boat and outfitted themselves to prospect and trap on French Creek, tributary of the Dease below Me Danes.
 Cottonwood Rapids is a treach- erous stretch of water about half way between Porter's Landing and McDames. It is boulder-strewn, narrow, and has several sharp bends which make navigation difficult at certain stages of water. Sweepers are an added hazard. The Hudson's Bay Company has lost several out fits in the rapids, and Jack Fowler came to grief there several years ago.
