 (Continued from Page ID jitters by his eccentric facial con tortions, will resume as Ely's part ner tonight.
 Tonight's will be the last session In the "C" hotel. The press has decided to call 1t "C" instead of Chatham because of the supper that is served after each session. Every night, for a month of Sun days, the fare has been chicken Ala King. Something had to be done about 1t. Last night the hotel came through with sausages on top of scrambled eggs. And to anybody who detests sausages, saul sages on top of eggs are terrific. So 1t Is an extremely welcome thing that on Wednesday the con test will move into the new Wal dorf-Astoria, only a block or so distant.
 There were two hands in last nights play which were breath taking to those who think contract bridge Is about the next best thing to stamp collecting. as oratory or riding to hounds. One of these was the baron's large smash--the one in which he scored a small slam and the other was that in which the great Sidney Lenz blundered into a bid of three diamonds, was doubtful and went set five tricks. This last named hand will keep anybody who is much concerned about the bidding systems occu- pied for a good half hour. Before anything further is said, look at it.:

 Culbertson opened the bidding with one Club. Lenz bid two Dia- monds. This bid was the big point of the entire hand. Lenz could have bid one Diamond, but he went to two and. naturally. Jacoby at South scratched his chin. The baron went to two Hearts ana Jacoby, figuring Lenz us holding a stout hand, bid two Spades. Gull bertson and Lenz passed and Won Zedtwitz doubled Jacoby's Spade bid. Jacoby came back with a bid of three Diamonds and Culbertson promptly doubled. That was the end of the bidding and the baron led with the Club Ten.
 When the thing was over, with Lenz down five. Culbertson let out whoop and claimed that If Lenz and Jacoby had been using de- cent system of bidding, they wouldn't have got into such hole. But nobody agreed with him. Chico Marx, of the four Marx boys. and Henry Gund. of the Ne braska Gunds, who were peepins through the cracks last night agreed that 1t was a remarkable hand. Said Chico to Henry:
 Have a cigaret?"
 Said Henry to Chico:
 No thanks, I have one"
 The only other hand which ex- cited much comment during the session was the nobleman's, Won Zedtwitz, little slammer-gaze up- on 1t:

Strong Enters Boat In Stikine
 River Service

The motorship Jeanne. E. k. Kal- kins, captain. which was built by William Strong. last year for service on the Taku, has been transferred to the Stikine service. It is a 65- foot twin engine boat with sleeping accommodations for twelve persons.
 The Jeanne with Mir Strong aboard returned Tuesday from the first trip to Telegraph Creek where Strong is establishing a general mer- ehandise store and trading post. The down trip was made in twenty-two and one-half hours. Mir. Strong left Wednesday for Juneau on the Red Wing. another boat of his fleet.
 Elliott Fremming, purser. with Captain Kalkins. left for the second trip yesterday morning. The Cap tain. as all Wrangell knows, was almost literally brought up on the Stikine. His father, the late A. J. kalkins, ran a boat on the Stikine, beginning in 1903 and continuing for several years thereafter, on which he served during the entire time. He was also on the Winnifred during the years Strong first oper- ated on the Stikine.

ketChikan Wants
 Trail Up the Unuk

The following resolution was ap- proved last week by the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce.:
 The Ketchikan Chamber of Com merce, in behalf of the business men. prospectors, and people of Ketehikan, earnestly present a re- quest for the survey and eonstrue- tion of suitable trail up the Unuk river to the Canadian boundary, described as the headquarters of the Unuk and Leduc river mineral areas.
 For the past 30 years the people of Ketchikan and vicinity have been directly interested in the Unuk and Leduc river mineral areas contiguous to the International boundary, and 8 great deal of pri- vate money has been spent and lives lost by prospectors in naVi- gating the turbulent waters of the Unuk river to reach this mineral area, and the Leduc is, at present, practically inaccessible. The end of this proposed trail will end ap- proximately five miles from the headwaters of the Ledue river.
 During July of 1880, MT. Skel- horne and MT. Terwilliger. Q h- censed guide of the Territory of AL aska, made a trip into this area, starting from Burroughs Bay, ap- proximately five miles up the Unuk river to the mouth of Lake creek thence up Lake creek about five miles to Lake creek falls, all of which ten miles is safely navigable. thence up Lake creek above Falls approximately eighteen miles to the summit of International boundary.
 It has been estimated that a suit able trail can be constructed for about $500 per mile, or s10,000 from Falls to boundary line.

JUNEAU LUMBER MILLS
 CLOSED FOR A TIME

After completing the cut on hand the Juneau Lumber Mills closed down the twenty-third. owing to big stocks in sheds and the low price prevailing on building material. It was stated that about ninety men would be thrown out Of employment, and that the office force and two yard men would be the only en- ployes retained.
 At the present time the company has about 3,000,00O board feet of lumber in it's yards, and a consider able quantity of this is first grade stuff, entailing a huge expense to the mill in carrying it over Most of the clear spruce is sent to the United Kingdom.
 The log market is badly shot also. logs bringing but sS and ss for spruce and hemlock in the boom.
 The closing down of one of Ju- neau's largest industries Is a hard blow to the town. It Is hoped that a rising market will allow the con- eern to resume operations shortly. Weekly.

and Leduc rivers have been de- scribed by both United States and Canadian geologists as having po- tential mineral possibilities equal to the salmon river, Stikine and Taku districts.
 The Territory of Alaska and the people of Ketchikan are bound to be benefited by the opening of this mineral area and as the present economic condition of Alaska makes many men available for prospect ing, 1t would tend to offer an out let for profitable employment at this time.
 We believe that this work is of such importance and the cost so small for the benefits to be de- rived that eArly consideration should be given and appropriation made available to complete a sur vey and trail facilities into this area for prospecting for this present year; and we believe this mat ter important enough to solicit every possible aid and support, and recommend that a copy Of this re- quest be forwarded to the U. S. For est Supervisor and Territorial Min ing Inspector and Departmental and Territorial officials concerned.

is carried on by the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads, Department of Agri- culture. The department regards road building as highly skilled work and takes all precautions that only dependable firms submit bids. When the Bureau of Public Roads calls for bids on a project, the firm must first submit a sworn statement of construction experiences and fi nancial standing before plans and specifications are received. Then the bureau investigates how much work the bidder can handle. l. aJ- cepted as a qualified bidder, blanks are forwarded then Bids are ne companied by a five per cent certi- fled check or a five per cent bidders bond. The bidder to whom contract is awarded is required to give bond for 100 per cent of the contract price.
 MT. Stock states there is nothing in his contract that dictates the price he shall pay his labor or where he shall obtain it except for the clause pertaining to Orientals. A bill introduced into Congress at the last session provided for the going wage to be paid on all federal con tracts, but as the bill finally passed it applied only to buildings and not to road or harbor and river work.
 Nevertheless, he said, the Wright Construction ro in Epa with tbo;, policy ever since they have been op- erating in Alaska, will pay a mini mum wage of five dollars and will use all local labor on the Wrangell contract, as they have done on all ther contracts. except for the few skilled workers who cannot be ob- tained locally.

Extension Classes Held
 This Week

Mrs. Lydia Fahn-Hansen, Home Economics specialist of the exten- sion department of the Alaska Ag- ricultural College and School of Mines, was in Wrangell from Mon- day afternoon until this morning.
 Extension service is maintained by the U. S. Department of Agri- culture cooperating with the college for the purpose of improving farm and home practices in towns and rural communities.
 On Tuesday evening Mrs. Fahn- Hansen gave a lecture on nutrition. She said the low cost diet adequate for health should contain the fol- lowing foods:
 Every meal, milk for children; bread for all.
 Every day. cereals, potatoes, oranges or canned or raw tomatoes for children, a green or yellow Yege- table, a fruit or additional vegetable.
 Two to four times a week, toma- toes for all. beans or peas, meat, cheese or fish. eggs (especially for ehildfeR.)
 This diet will be improved by the addition of cod liver oil and yeast in winter. If cost does not have to be considered the diet may be i'm proved by the more liberal use of fruits and vegetables and more eggs.
 Mrs. Fahn-Hansen gave a demon. stration in short cuts in sewing on Wednesday afternoon at the Legion Hall. During her stay in Wrangell she made three fitted patterns by special appointment at the hotel. These patterns will enable those who received them to make a dress, a slip or a nightgown from the founda- ton pattern.
 On Wednesday evening Mrs. Fahn- Hansen gave a cooking demonstra- ton on the use of left-oyers in the kitchen of Mrs. H. D. Campbell. A free bulletin of recipes called to the fifteen women present.

thing that can blot out the whole city? Whence come
those strange, mystic slances that one is continually
glimpsing on faces that drift by in a crowd, as If boys
and girls by the myriad were going to meet a glamoro,s
and ecstatic destiny?
All of these people could tell you. But they are not
given to the traditional modes of expression. The mod
ern girl may be as distracted by some boys smile as her
sentimental grandmother ever thought of being. but she
doesn't moon about the house and drape herself listlessly
over a sofa for hours of dreaming. She goes about her
regular routine, and usually no one but the boy himself
knows just how she feels about it. And the boy fails to
go into those trance-like states common to an earlier
day, and he fails to write atrocious poetry when he
should be sleeping; but are there no longer any young
men who act like %simpetons because Of some girls
shining eyes? Their name is legion, now as Of old.
There are many things in the world today about which
one can worry. But the imminent disappearance Of
romantic love is not one of them.

Injurious and Content

In a middle western town there lives an old man
named Benjamin Silvernail, whose claim to fame Is sure
ly one of the most unusual in all America.
Benjamin Silverna!l is SO. He has spent all Of his life
in OF near this town. Thirty miles away is one of Amer
ica,s greatest cities-a busy place Of more than a mil
lion Inhabitants. But Benjamin Sllvernalk mas never
visited it, and he says he never will.
Il never had any business there he said recently.
when someone asked him why, with the city so near, he
had never gone there.
This, surely, is as odd a record as any American can
claim. Nowhere has the city been such a magnet as
in this country. It has pulled men from farm and vii
lage by the million. It has %overtaken, and all but
wrecked, the rural society on which the nation was
founded. 1t has become Americas supreme achieve
ment, in some ways, and it has bred a race Of restless,
eternally curious folk who are always moving, always
ready to be uprooted.
But here, 30 miles away from one Of the greatest of
these cities, is an old chap who simply hasn't bothered
to go and see what the city Is like. The idea just don't
appeal to him. He will take all Of the city's marvels on
somebody elses evidence. Progress and change don't
interest him.
There is a kind of existence, close to the soil, that
Gus sort of life that is content to let its horizon be
limited by the nearest range of hills. But while We who
are used to cities tend to look down on that kind of life
as if it were somehow bovine and stupid, it may be that
our lofty condescensien is a bit misplaced.
After all, the modern city. even in America, is not
quite a heaven-on-earth. There are times when even the
most enthusiastic city dweller has to admit that the city
is a poor sort of place to live. The open country can be
dull and monotonous, but at least it does not rusl: a man
into old age before he quite realizes that his youth has
passed. It permits a man to realize his kinship with
the living earth. It lets him partake of the eyer-recur-
ring miracles of opening bud and unfolding leaf.
1t is quite possible that this Benjamin Silvernail is not
nearly as eccentric as we might suppose.
