OPEN FORUM
THE PIPE OF PEACE
Editor, The Sentinel:

Editor. The Sentinel
 Quoting the words of Dr. Scruby, president of the chamber of com merce: Cooperation is what we need in the community" and we believe that cooperation is more a fact in Wrangell than in any oth- CT town. This is one of the big reasons why the Brotherhood cen tered it's influence for the Industrial School at Shoemaker Bay, and the big reason why the chamber was able to follow up over the trails laid down by the Brotherhood to secure the school.
 We appreciate also the sentiment expressed by Rev. H. P. Corser, who has been in our midst for almost a full generation. His undivided in terest in all of the people of Wran- gell and Alaska is fully appreciat- ed, and it is one of the things which has made our problems and aims more generally understood
 There is no misunderstanding be- tween the chamber of commerce and the Brotherhood, and we hope that the present kindly feelings will continue, and that all will work for a bigger and betten town that all may benefit. "A house di- vided within itself cannot stand" and this is also true of town di- vided along lines of race, with prejudice ruling. Between the 1.-two organizations, working togeth- CT for the common good of Wran- gell, the benefit should be more readily secured.
 The whole situation as to credit is cleared up-and all benefit from the efforts of both organizations, which is the aim of the Alaska Ma tive Brotherhood

of criticism that has been heard of the present city officials, one might assume that every voter in town would attend this caucus-whether they do or not remains to be seen.
 As a means of losing friends, rep utation, business, sleep and general peace of mind, we can recommend running for political office. People urge a man to run for office. and once he is elected proceed forthwith to make life as miserable for him as possible. Only a peculiar type of personality can thrive on the grief attendant to a political office.
 The unfortunate part is that in so few cases does man actually de- serve all the criticism he gets. But the result is that many intelligent and capable men, realizing the un- desirable effects, decline to have an official part in government, and the community suffers thereby,
 Indications are that Wrangell's forthcoming municipal election will arouse considerable interest and some competition. The present coun- cil has had hard row to hoe, but next years council will probably have a still harder time. It is to be hoped that the voting citizens will give serious thought to this, and that capable men will consent to serve the city.
 The Sentinel extends an invita- tion to the various candidates for office to use it's columns to present their views and their stand on var ious civic problems to the voters,

ALASKA JUNEAU OPTIONS TWO NEW CLAIM GROUPS

Extension of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company's holdings in this district through an option on two large groups of mining claims was revealed by L. H. Metzgar, gen. eral superintendent of the company, according to the Juneau Empire.
 The option, terms of which were not disclosed, covers the well-known Hnllum and Dora groups in the Mt Juneau area. These properties, controlled by the Hallum family, adioin the Ebner property on the west.
 As the Ebner Is now controlled by the Alaska Juneau under a work ing agreement with the United States Smelling & Refining Com pany, the new deal gives the com pany large additional area to its own holdings.
 The company plans immediate ex- ploratory work on the Dora and Hallum ground, MT. Metzgar said. A camp is now being established and a crew of twelve men will be employed. It is planned to drive tunnels and do some cross-cutting. A compressor for air drill opera tions will be installed at once.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1931-03-20
AN APOLOGY

The Sentinel wishes to offer an apology to MT. L. B. Chisholm, and to its subscribers, for the Open For um article which appeared last week over the name of E. Monen. To permit this article to appear in the form it did was an error in judgment and a violation of the rules of fair play which The Sem tinel regrets.
 The purpose of the writer of the article in question was to call at tention to a condition which The Sentinel, also, does not approve of. namely, the concentration of the of flee of United States commissioner and a number of municipal offices under the authority of one man.
 The Sentinel is of the opinion that this is not a desirable condi- tion for, regardless of his ability or good intentions, we do not believe it possible for one man to discharge the duties of all these offices In a ss ny that will meet the approval or
 aeds of the community as a whole.
 The explanation of the situation visiting here probably lies in the fact that there seemingly Is in Wrangell a scarcity of men who have both the ability and the desire to assume these public offices. This incident should bring home to the citizens of Wrangell the point that greater responsibility in civic affairs should be accepted by larger num- Der.
 The article of E. Monen referred to this situation, but not in a way that people consider fair, and The Sentinel acknowledges it's error in permitting the article to so appear, and assumes full responsibility.
 Inasmuch as the present manage ment of The Sentinel will probably terminate with the expiration of our least at the end of this month, we do not wish to leave the people of rVrangell with the impression that sve have willingly or knowingly adopted unfair tactics without at- tempting to make amends.

 The letter conveys the first in formation that the seaplane will call at Juneau on the flight.
