CONSTRUCTION WORK ON A. P. A. ROAD TO START
 NOT LATER THAN APRIL 1

includes a warehouse 24x4O, a gar age to accommodate a grader, truck and caterpillar tractor, and con- crete house for storing oil.
 In answer to his inquiry about the prospects for getting an exten- sion of Shoemaker Highway to Pats Lake, Mr Hanford was informed that an engineer from the Juneau office would make a preliminary survey of the ground this spring and estimate the cost of such exten- sion. If the cost is not prohibi- tive MT. Williams will recommend the work and ask for an appropria- tion for the final survey.
 During his stay in Juneau MT. Hanford interviewed Charles w. Hawksworth, of the Office of Edu- cation, to find out when work on the industrial school would com mence. The first plans drawn by MT. Story were for eight buildings, but the number has been reduced to five in order that the work could be started this spring, Mir Hnwksworth said.
 $171, ,00O Available
 As reported in The Sentinel of December II, President Hoover ask ed that fund of $1O0,000 for the completion of the school be includ- ed in the budget for the Bureau of Education, to supplement the $171,- 900 which has alreay been appro- ppriated by Congress. This extra $100,0O0 will no doubt be allotted next fall. but in order to speed up the work this summer, the Office of Education will call for bids on five of the buildings this spring.
 This plan, MT. Hawksworth, pointed out, would enable local con tractors to bid on the vairous units as they saw fit; in other words, a contractor who could not furnish bond for the construction of all the buildings might bid on one unit successfully.
 Dry Pass Temporarily Shelved
 With reference to the Dry Pass dredging project, the chamber was informed that although an appro  priation had been made for the sur vey of the project, no money had been appropriated for the actual work; and that since it was now too late to secure such an appro- priation at this session of congress the matter would have to wait un- til the new congress convenes.
 It was reported to the chamber that letters had been written to the National Red Cross and to Delegate Sutherland pointing out the low price of Alaska canned salmon and it's high food value, and suggesting that this product might be bought for use in relieving drought suffer- CTS and thus benefit the salmon in- dustry of Alaska.

Metlakatla Indians Live In Utopia With
 No Light Bills To Pay
COMMUNITY A VITALITY ONE BECAUSE OF FISHERIES; $44.- 900 IN THE TREASURY

How would you like to live in a town where the public utility is one of the sort which says, "Use all the electricity you want. You won't have to pay for it."?
 It can't be?
 Yes, it can, says the Chronicle.
 Metlakatla, that little native vil- lage of 466 population not a score of miles from Ketchikan, is just that sort of town. Every house in the community is wired. Every house in the community is allowed to use as much electricity, for light ing, radios, cooking, washing ma chimes or heating, as is wanted. The only expense Is the necessary wir- ing and the equipment.
 The electric plant was put into operation in the fall of 1927 at a cost of $40,00O, entirely paid by the city of Metlakatla, and Roder- ick Davis, mayor of the community, says that because the Annette Is land reservation was set aside for use of the Metlakatla natives Gin common" it was deemed fitting and proper that there should be no charge for the electric system.
 The community is a wealthy one, comparatively speaking. And even a sewer system was built by the city without assessing single prop erty owner.
 Whence comes this wealth? From the fisheries. The community of Metlakatla owns the cannery build ings and furnishes the fishing rights to the company operating there, and the two interests split the profits

WE WON THE WAR, OF COURSE BUT WHO STARTED IT?

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. IT. A resolution has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Shipstead to place the Senate on record as favor ing the United States Government making it clear beyond doubt that it does not "acquiesce in the formal charge" in the Versailles treaty that Germany was alone responsible for the World War.
 The Minnesota senator said his tory brought to light since the treaty has proved the untruth of the accusation.

evenly.
 As a result there is $44,000 to Metlakatla's credit at this time, with many thousands of dollars yet to be paid for the 1880 fishing sea son. The only tax paid by the peo- pie Is $S annual levy made against every man in the community be- tween the ages of 21 and SO. This of course means only a few hun dred dollars.
 Now the busy little Annette Is- land community is building the largest hall in southern Alaska-a town hall 70x120 feet. Work al- ready has started. =

School Operetta 'The TOymaker, Plays
 To Large Audience
MUSICAL PLAY PRESENTED BY LOCAL PUPILS IS WELL .PATR0NIZED BY TOWNSMEN

If you missed seeing "The Toy maker" the three-aet operetta pre- scented by the pupils of the Wran- gell grade and high school at the Coliseum Theatre last Monday. you may live to regret it, for you un- doubtedly missed the best amateur production ever seen in WrangelI. Several of the youngsters displayed marked talent in mimicry and dane ing, and tht performance as a whole was genuinely entertaining.
 Honors go to Ruby Everson, clown; Geraldine Morris. Captain Kidd Lois Wheeler, the Princess; Elna Arola, the old Mother; Mildred Iverson, Wooden Soldier; Jean Fer guson, Best Doll; and Fred Grant, Toymaker, in about the order nam ed.
 Ruby Everson deserves compli- ments, not only for good dancing and excellent stage presence, but also for the presence of mind to flake" her lines when Lois Wheel CT, who doubled in the pants of the Rag Doll and the Princess, was de- layed in making her change of cos tune. Compliments are also due Geraldine Morris for a very good performance, both as a dancer and a mimic. She had few lines to speak, but her acting was charac- terized by unusual and fitting ami nation.
 Lois Wheeler undertook two nath- CT difficult parts and got away with them surprisingly. She danced we'll in the part of the Rag Doll, and spoke her lines with the distinction befitting a Princess. These three girls-Everson, Morris and Wheeler were exceptionally good in their dance.
 Elna Arola's acting and singing in the part of the Old Mother is worthy of special mention. One can hardly picture her as an old wo- man. She sang For Oamels With Humps" and made great chatter with her wooden shoes. Mildred Iverson was we'll cast in the part of the Wooden Soldier with one arm and it was not at all surprising that the spoiled Prince-Herbert Bjorge-chose her for toy.
 Jean Ferguson in the part of the Best Doll also gave an excellent performance fo ra youngster This was her first bit of acting and she was probably the youngest member of the cast with speaking part The business of getting pushed over by the temperamental Prince got a hearty laugh.
 Taking 1t by and large the girls of the cast carried off the honors for yirtuosity by a narrow margin. people thought he could; Lloyd Goodrich had the most famous mus tache ever seen on a stage; Herbert Bjorge displayed princely preroga- tive in pushing the Best Doll over, and Eddie Arola was sufficiently important for a Kings Herald. Four Colonial Girls-Maxine Early, Mir fam Grant. Irene Sundberg and Elvy Brode-were charming in a special dance number.
 Other members of the cast were: Eskimo Doll ------ Jack Waters Clown ------ Leonard Campbell Barefoot Boy -- Arthur Morris Indian Chief ----. Albert Teller Cowboy -------- Harry Sundberg Pep King -------. Bernard Acton Sandman ----Jerry Desmond

What's in Fashion?
Cotton Blouse for Summer Suit
Directed By AMOS PARRISH

Hand drawn work and fagotting
are fashionable trimmings on
blouses like this.
The necklines on these cotton
blouses are one of their most in
tereSting points. There's almost
sure to be a ruffle or a scarf or
some pleating or lace edge at the
neckline.
Most Of these summer blouses
of cotton are made in overblouse
style and worn that way. But most
Of them, too, can be tucked inside
the skirt band if you prefer it.
Sleeves are short cap or
polo length or there are no
sleeves at all. And the neckline
is usually higher this summer
than it was last.
In fact, many of them are finished
of with little round or pointed col
lars that come just to the hollow at
the base of the throat.
White-as a1ways--is the most
in fashion color. But this is a sea-
son of contrast and your navy blue
or black suit will look much in fash
ion if you choose your cotton blouses
in light blue or pink or pale yell
low.
And by all means wear pastel
cotton blouses if your suit is white.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Right
IN now lots of fashionable folks
are picking cotton. Even when they
live way north Of the cotton belt.
One Of the things they're picking
is cotton blouses, because they know
that cotton blouses are the smart
thing to wear with light wool or
cool silk suits.
There are more different kinds
of cotton blouses to do your pick
ing from this summer than for a
long time. Not just the usual
dinlities and batiste and prints, but
blouses of eyelet, organdie, pique,
net, sheer wolfe and dotted swiss.
And any one OF them gives an
inimitable touch Of freshness and
perkiness to the warm weather
costume.
One good type. and a general
favorite with everybody, is the
pique blouse that Chanel made and
that's been copied by blouse makers
here.
1t extends down over the hips in
a rounded peplunl effect, and the
collar, closing line and pepIum are
edged in scallops.
Another fine pique blouse closes in
a surplice line over at the left side
and has narrow roll collar, just as
SO many fashionable suits have.
It's a particularly good blouse to
choose if your suit is cut that ay.
for you can put the blouse collar
outside the suit.
These pique blouses-crisp as they
are-giye you quite tailored look.
But there are other smart cottons
made into blouses that are just as
soft and feminine as anv silk blouse
