wAsHINGON, D. G.. July 1.- The nations of the world have gained new hope of getting out of the slough of despond in which they were plunged through world wide depression, by the announce ment of President Hoover's mora torium plan.
 The President has proposed to the leading powers a one-year sus- pension of all war debt payments between governments, to give the world a breathing spell in which to recover economically.
 The United States proposes to postpone for one year Allied war debt payments on condition that the Allied powers grant a like respite to their debtors.
 MT. Hoover made clear he is op- posed to cancellation of debts or to interfering with the internal affairs of Europe However, he took the view that such a step was necessary to aid in a return of prosperity here as we'll as abroad.
 All nations, except France, have assured the President of their ac- ceptance. France is not receiving

Fourth Will Be Observed

 The rope climb will be a timed event. Each sntrant must climb a two-inch rope and touch a beam 25 feet above the sidewalk. The one who does it in the shortest time, by stop watch. wins. The committee believes that almost any one from twelve or fourteen to forty years of age stands a show in this event.
 The bicycle race will probably start at the bank and go up past the old grade school, down the new gravel road to Front street and back to the bank.
 In the rifle shoot entrants must furnish their own 22-rifle. On payment of an entrance fee of 25 cents, each one will receive ten cartridges. The entrant may shoot in any style he pleases.

 The Elks will give a dance at the gymnasium on the night of the third. 75 per cent of the net pro- ceeds will be donated to the Wran- gell General Hospital.
 On the night of the Fourth the dance. which will also be given in the gymnasium, will be entirely for the hospital

RELIANCE SHRIMP co. PROVIDES STEADY
 PAYROLL

Because of market conditions the Reliance Shrimp Co.,, Joseph Stump ton and Son, proprietors, is fish ing just enough shrimp to keep the pickers busy on three days a week. The company started fishing crab recently and bring in enough for one days picking.
 Few people in Wrangell realize how much money the Sumptions have brought to Wrangell each year since they established the business here five years age. The shrimp industry has a closed season of ten weeks each year. In 1890, aa aver age year, the payroll averaged S550 a week. Overhead expenses were a little over s25OO for the year, mak- ing total of nearly S26,000 of , outside money that was put into 1 circulation in Wrangell during the year through utilization of Wran- gell raw products Tor markets in the states.
 At the present time the payroll is below former averages. but is most important to the employees and to the town. Seattle money broken up into pay checks is ex- changed very quickly far merchan- disc af WFangell business firms, for rent, light, fuel and water, etc, and is a factor not to be overlooked in keeping the towns business wheels turning.

The first public demonstration that Wrangell was getting ready for a Fourth of July celebration was seen Monday when E. A. Lindman, mounted on a truck, painted the suspended street lights across Front street in patriotic eolors. He did the work without help but under scrutiny of a large juvenile audience and some not so juvenile.
 On Wednesday the city flags were put up and by Thursday night most of the business houses were gay in patriotic decorations and the young sters were we'll started on Fourth of July noisemakers. Wrangell, as usual, did not wait on the calendar to look and sound like the Fourth of July.
 The committees having the cele- bration in charge have worked hard to make the day a success. A program of patriotic exercises will be presented at the Coliseum at 11:0O o'clock. With the exception of a chorus of 15 voices the pro gram will be carried out by the young people of the town. Wilfred Stump, who has just completed his fourth year in the law school of the University of Washington, will de- liver the address.
 Street Sports

 The water sports follow immedi- ately after the street sports. Four events are scheduled: 1OO-ft. swim ming race, greased pole contest, row boat and sculling races. Each event is an open-to-all.

 Light Plant
 Chairman Sorset of the light committee reported the plant run ming satisfactorily. A communica- tion was read regarding the legal chise. Teelgrams weer also read status in the event of a sale and transference of the plant and fran chise Telegrams were also read from interested parties in reference to purchase of the plant and fran chise.
 The mayor stated that inasmuch as he was acting as vice president of the Bank of Alaska, trustees for the bondholders of the Wrangell Light and Power Company, he could not act in a double capacity by representing the town. He suggest ed, therefore. that the light plant committee assume all respOnsibil- ity in bringing about the sale and transfer of the plant and franchise, and that they take the matter up with the Wrangell Lumber and Power Co.,, making every effort to cooperate with the company in dis posing of the plant.

 LONDON, July 2-Complete plans for the isolation of France in case she rejects the Hoover moratorium plan have been framed by President Hoover in consultation with the British and they are ready to be put into effect immediately.
 The plan is that President Hoover will repeat the offer individually to all creditor nations but France that he has already been assured of its acceptance.
 France thus being left out will insist on collecting her share of the German reparations but the Germans will claim the right to a morato- rum under the Young Plan for con- ditional payments and will make only unconditional payne t s to roughly about one hundred million dollars.
 This is almost exactly what France must pay to the United States and Great Britain under the debt agreements and these two na- tions on receiving the money from France will immediately lend 1t to Germany, probably free of interest.

Returns to Sitka
 From South Seas

Mrs. Alexander Archangelsky, whose father, Abraham Cohen, had flOurishing business in Sitka during the Russian occupancy and who grew up there and was mar ried to the Russian engineer that opened up the Chichagoff mine, was in town for a few hours Sun day looking up old friends while the Dorothy Alexander was in port reports the Ketchikan Tribune.
 Mrs. Archangelsky, who with her husband has lived on a plantation near Papeete, Tahiti, for the past 21 years, Is on her way to visit Mir. and Mrs. w. P. Mills in Sitka. This will be her first visit to Alaska in 15 years.
 My father came from Poland. When I was 16 We left San Fran cisco and came to Sitka. The town was surrounded by stockade, |" Mrs. Archangelsky said when asked to give her early impressions of Al aska.
 "The army had been taken away, and soon after we arrived the Indians made an attack on the town which, doubtless. would have ended in a massacre if a boat had not arrived filled with men from the Cassiar mine.
 "A British man-of-war and United States revenue cutter were both sent north to protect us. That is what led to an army post being located there until a few years ago."
 The marriage of Paulina Cohen and Alexander Archanelsky. young Russian, a gifted musician and linguist, took place in 1896. He had come from Moscow to be choir master. Soon after he took course in mining engineering at the University of California and then returned to Alaska for prac- tical experience. He explored and located the rich Chichagoff mine and was superintendent of it for six years.
 Moves to Tahiti
 When the Chichagoff mine was sold Mrs. Archangelsky says that they wanted a vacation where the coeonuts grew" Admiral R. E Coontz had married Augusta Cohen. He advised them to go to stay. 21 years, as it is an ideal place to live," according to Mrs. Archangelsky. They live on al plantation 40 miles from Papeete, and their nearest neighbor is Zane Grey.
 When Robert Service first visited them he looked over the wonder ful panorama spread out before them and said: "once I was in hell, now am in heaven" Robert Keable, who wrote "Simon Called Peter," has beautiful home there. Frederick 0'Brien has written of them in his book Mystic Isles of the South Seas" Gouverneur Morris also has a home there. Many noted artists also spend much of their time there.
