Congressional Party Visits
 Wransell On Alaska Tour

In a downpour of rain, and inky ficial parties to visit Wrangell for many years, debarked from the cut ter Tahoe and steamer Yukon Mon- day night
 Practically the entire hour of the weekly luncheon of the Wran- gell Chamber of Commerce was de- voted Monday to entertainment plans for members of the party which it was expected would arrive that afternoon. Cars were proffered for the use of the distinguished visitors and flowers from Wrangell gardens arranged for the ladies of the party. After deliberation it was decided not to send boxes of Wrangell strawberries aboard the boats as the cold weather at the wrong time had changed Wrangell strawberries, famed for their size something smaller than baseballs, into berries about the size of nick ory nuts and it was felt that pre- senting this years crop would not be fair to the growers.
 Following all these careful plans, the days of brilliant sunshine and gorgeous sunsets with scarcely any night time, suddenly ceased shortly before the arrival of the boats so that what the visitors needed when they stepped ashore was a supply of gum boots, umbrellas and Hud- sohs Bay blankets.
 The party was welcomed by May or c. P. Kirtland, pr. R, N. Scruby, president of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce, George Hatton, A. B. Anderson, Arnt Sorset and other Chamber members. Some. of the congressmeA wished to be taken to the site of the new Indian In- dustrial School, which came under their scope of duties. Others were content with a drive about town, while most of the women preferred going into the attractive Waters Curio Store, where they were later

WASHINGTON, D. C., July IS, 1881
 Prospector- r-trappers loacted on the Yukon about fifty miles from Eagle, complain of recent ques- tionnaire issued by the Alaska Game Commission. with the idea of formu- lating further regulations and allo- eating trapping territory to a fav- cred few. Question 16 inquires, 'In your opinion, who should de- eide how much trap line any one person should be entitled to regis ter?" The trappers contend that it would be an utter impossibility to allocate trapping territory equally. They further contend that the fur bearers are not disturbed evenly and that while one man might have a line ten miles long and get lots of fur another man might have a hundred miles and then not get an even break. These men on the Yukon wish to bring some in- fluence to bear that would tend 10 curb the alleged vicious" activity of the Commission. The matter has been taken up with the Secretary lof Agriculture.
