vate view Saturday, March 5, at o'clock, of

This exhibition, consisting of valuable loans,
paintings which have great historic as well
artistic significance, will be shown in gall

 Saxman A. N. B Team

The Wrangell Lazy Five upset the dope bucket and spilled the contents all over the floor last Wednesday night when they troune- ed the Saxman A. N. B. team to the tune of 61 to 21 in the Gym nasium. The Saxman boys are on their way home from a basketball tour of the villages of the west coast. The strenuous schedule to winch they were sub jected was very much in evidence in the first three quarters of play. The last spasm, however was much better entertain ment.
 In spite of the overwhelming score the Tongass team showed their good sportsmanship by fight ing hard utnil the final whistle.
 The Wrangell boys played their usual strong and heady game. Wrangellites are still looking for ward to the coming of a team that will offer real competition. It is hoped that they may arrange a game with Ketchikan High School when that team comes this way in the next few weeks.
