Bishop Rowe Honor
 Guest of Community

A social gathering of the com munity sponsored by the Hospital Board and Auxiliary, at which Bish- op Rowe was the honored guest, was held Thursday evening at the Bills Club. Despite the inclement weather a large and representative crowd of Wrangellites were present.
 Entertainment for the evening took the form of games which were enjoyed by all. Prizes for the ad- vertisement guessing contest were won by Fred Gunderson and Miss Glenora Waters. Special seulptural ability was displayed by Lloyd Rinehart and Mrs. Ethel Denny who won first prizes for the men and women respectively. Others showed special aptitude for this amusing pastime making it difficult for the judges to choose the winners.
 After the refreshments were serv- ed by the ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary, F. c. Hanford expressed the sincere sentiments of all when he spoke of Bishop Rowes continued benevolent interest in the town of Wrangell and the hospital in par ticular. The hospital is not a denom- national institution, but one winch is at the service of all irrespective of creed or color, and it's true value to the community could only be es- timated if it were to close it's doors, D said MT. Hanford.
 In replying, the bishop expressed his pleasure at being able to meet so many of his friends in this in- formal manner. He believed that be- fore long a measure of prosperity would be restored, and in the mean time urged his hearers to be opti- mistic. His chief concern was that everyone would bear in mind that there were matters of greater im- portance than mere material things, and pleaded that spiritual ambi- tions should be sought.

TY. OFFICIALS SUMMONED TO
 ..WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The House Committee on Appropriations has started the consideration of the budget estimates for the various supply bills of the government. The Interior Department bill, in which Alaskans have particular interest will be considered starting Nov. 16. In view of the general demand for economy it is understood that the allowance made for this Department is fairly satisfactory. However just what the various sums are will not be made known to the public until the budget is presented to Congress by the President. Until that time the various committee hearings will be of a secret nature.
 The Interior Department sum- moned to Washington, and they ap- peared here on Nov. 15, Gov. George A. Parks, head of the Alaska Road Commission, Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Commission, Bur ton H. Barndollar, Examiner of Ac- counts of the Railroad; Charles E. Naghel, Disbursing Office of the Road and other activities in Alaska of the Interior Department; George c. Dickens, General agent of the railroad at Chicago, and two Bureau of Indian Affairs officials, Paul w. Gordon, Director of Education for Alaska and Dr. Fellows, Medical Director for Alaska.
 The Governor who was the first to appear before the Committee, stressed the importance of a more liberal appropriation than the $494,- coo allowed for the present year to the Alaska Road Commission.
 The new Democratic administra- tion, through the Interior Depart ment, will have control of the Alas ka Road Commission after March 4, and it is expected that their Demo- cratic Appropriations Committees will deal more generously with AL aska's needs than did the House Committee last Spring when but $354,0 1000 was allowed for the Com mission. That sum was raised $14O,- coo by the Senate Committee.
