work of correspondence, by which every part was kept informed of movements in all other parts. Fin ally, in 1774, came the first Con tinental Congress, called almost simultaneously by the several prov inces and constituting the first of a series of provisional bodies which effected a temporary eonferation until the more lasting union was reached.
 On the 4th of July, 1776, a year after Washington had taken com mand of the American army, Con gress adopted a paper called a Dec laration of independence, in which the action of the people in resisting the English government was de- tended before Europe. The thirteen colonies resolved themselves into the United States of America and sent eminent men to represent the cause to Holland, France and Spain. For seven years the conflict in arms was urged. The English had the disadvantage of being 5000 miles from their base, but they had money and men, and sent over armies not only of Englishmen but of Germans whom they hired. Lord Corn wallis surrendered his army after the seize of Yorktown in October, 17S1. Two years later Great Brit ain in the Treaty of Paris aeknowl- edged the independence of the United States.
 The stability of the United States during it's 155 years of existence is due to the slow growth of the spirit of union within the colonies.
 independence was not brought about hastily by a few impetuous leaders, but grew through many years of hardships shared together. There was no abrupt break with the past as has been the case with many European and Latin American and South American republics.
 The American Revolution was a slow evolution which came about naturally, United we stand, divided we fall" is as true today as in the troublous time when American leaders were bringing forth a na- ton.

FIVE YEAR PLAN

At the next general meeting of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce the matter of inaugurating a more pronounced method of community advancement should be considered. Today we look upon Nrangell as our permanent home. Seldom do we hear one say, When I make my stake I will go to the States" This is evidence that we have progressed and now possess the things that most all communities seek, in short, Wrangell has become better place in which to live Nevertheless, if we expect to continue to progress, we must have some definite purpose in view, we must have before us some goal to attain.
 The Chamber through it's Execu- tive Committee should decide on the program most necessary for the towns future progress and stick to it until attained It has at present under consideration some very worthy causes. such as our fisher ies, enlargement of cold storage fa- cilities and the projection of more roads give added attractions to our town and will afford homesites to new settlers.
 The survey to our harbor has been made and elaborate statistics are being gathered to convince Congress of the need and the advantages, which will accrue from dredging.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1931-07-03

With the possible accomplishment of this project, it might be well to look ahead a little and have our Front street bulk-headed on the shore side and then have the exea- Yated material from the dredging barge pumped into the street and graveled, replacing the unsightly and expensive board streets. It would not be out of place to ar range to have the federal prisoners do this work. as other towns do
 A concerted effort should be made to develop the Stikine River farm lands. A dozen farmers could do wonders over there, and with Wran- gels cooperation in marketing their crops, would be able to make good living
 Our mineral resources must be kept in mind. and while at present the mining industry is depressed, be- fore long it is sure to recover and the Wrangell district should be in readiness to come into the recogni- tion it deserves as an important mineral belt.
 Why not map out five-year plan and see what can be done in that space of time? Cooperation spells Success" and it is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with those who are endeavoring to pro- mote the best interests of the com munity. To show that he is i'm bued with the spirit of cooperation he should attend the quarterly public meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Saturday evening. July Il, at the Bills Club.

IMPROVED ROASTING PROCESS RESULTS IN DISTINCTIVE COFFEE
Flavor Such as No Other Coffee Has is Marvelously De-
 veloped Through Control

Beyond doubt the most revoIu- tionary event in the history of coffee was the invention and pat enting, few years ago, of re- markable roasting process by Hills Bros. of San Francisco.
 This process is called Controlled Roasting. By permitting only a few pounds of coffee at a time to pass continuously through the roast CTS in which the heat and speed of operation are accurately controlled, a perfect roast is insured. Every berry is roasted evenly with the result that there is a matchless, uniform flavor in every pound.
 Tests show that such flavor can not be developed by the common method of roasting coffee in bulk. In spite of watchful care, the op- orator cannot prevent variation of roast in the different patches. Nat urally there is variation in the flavor.
 In order to keep their delicious coffee absolutely fresh, Hills Bros. pack it in vacuum. By this process air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out of the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Hills Bros. Coffee is sold every where by grocers. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can.

EVOLUTION NOT REVOLUTION

The formation of a United States of America was a matter Of political evolution rather than revolution. Separation of the American Colonies from Great Britain came about slowly. Public opinion in the colonies did not favor a severance from the mother country until the second year of the Revolutionary War.
 Throughout the years preceding the Revolution the colonists were impelled toward union for mutual welfare. The perils from Indian at tack and French aggression in Can ada gave occasion for the separate colonies to aim at a closer union.
 A new England Confederation was formed as early as 164S, and was a light attempt at union, and in 1754 at a Congress of Commis- sioners called in Albany, Benjamin Franklin brought forward plan for the union of all the colonies un- der one government. He found that the other commissioners had similar plans, and all agreed that some kind of union was desirable, but some already began to object that the scheme depended too much on the king, while the advisers of the crown thought it too democratic.
 The French and Indian war closed in 1763, but by this time the need of union began to impress it. self upon the colonies on graTer grounds, and resistance to English oppression created a common cause. The colonies had been growing in wealth and riches and in the ex- ercise through their towns and leg islatures of self-government. Eng land from the beginning had treated them with regard mainly to her own exclusive interest. By the sue cessiye acts and laws relating to navigation, the colonial ports were closed to every flag but that of England. onerous duties were laid upon exports and imports, manu- factures were forbidden or crushed out, and prices regulated to suit the English market.
 The iniqultous Stamp Act met with such resistance that it was finally repealed. One effect of the agitation resulting from attempts at enforcement was to bring the colonies again together by their representatives in a congress in New York in 1765, when a Declaration of Rights was made, claiming for the colonies freedom from all taxes not laid by their own representa- tives.
 The discussion of these matters all over the country made the diff ferent colonies listen to one an- other; newspapers began to act as mediums of communication, in creasing the sense of a common in terest: meetings were held and leg islatures took up the debate but the most powerful instrument of union was the organization of Committees of Correspondence. These commit fees. composed of the leaders of the people, covered the land with net
