Board FavOrS Return
 Alaska Standard Time

At a meeting of the school board held Wednesday night, the members of the board voted unanimously in favor of a return of the school to the standard time for this section. and a notice to the effect that school will open an hour later Mon day was given out today.
 Action was taken in response to the request of a number of parents that the time be changed back, and because of the saving of lights which will be effected as the winter season advances
 Sunrise comes about 10:20 a. m. and sunset about 2:20 D. m. in mid winter, Alaska time. With the sun not due to rise until 11:20 accord ing to present time, it is obvious that a longer period of darkness will necessitate artificial lighting fore moons, local school authorities state, than in the afternoons by Alaska time. The closing hour for the high CT grades is $40 and the younger pupils are dismissed earlier, while all grades are in school during the morning periods of darkness. With the attempt to effect saving in every item of school expense, the board feels that an hour or more of daylight each day cannot be over looked.
 The board is also asking that the of the curfew be resumed and the ordinance enforced. This re- quest is made in the interests of children whose sense of time is not developed and to whom the curfew would be at least a reminder.

AFOGNAK RETURNS FROM
 SEASON AT ALITAK

The Afognak, Captain Julius Mason, which left Wrangell last March for service at the Alaska Packers Association cannery at Ali talk, Kodiak island, returned last Monday and will be berthed at Wrangell for the winter. Besides Capt. Mason, Carl Arnberg and Carl Green were aboard.
 Alex Creesa, engineer on the Afognak, became very i'll a few hours before reaching Cape Hinchinbrook and the boat turned before start ing across the Gulf of Alaska to take him to Cordova for medical at tention. He was found to be serious ly ill from acute appendicitis and the attending physician said that in all probability he would not have lived but few more hours. Creesa underwent an operation at once and was reported to be making a good recovery when the Afognak left Cordova.
 Carl Green was captain during he season of the tender Eagle which is kept at Alitak during the winter.

MEYERS CHUCK MAN CHARGED
 WITH ILLEGAL FUR TRAFFIC

KETCHIKAN- Captain Emil Lange who owns store at Meyers Chuck was placed under arrest by the marshal's office when he arrived Thursday afternoon on his tender Echo. The officers accompanied Capt. Lange to the post office with he mail which arrived on his boat and then took him to the federal iail. He is charged with aiding and abetting in the transportation of il- legal furs, in violation of the Alaska game law.
 While the officers would say nothing regarding the arrest and what is behind it, the fact is recall ed that Frank Dorbandt on his way 70 Ketchikan from the westward, called into Meyers Chuck, claiming It the time that the plane was in need of minor repairs. When Dor handt landed here he had a sack of beaver skins which he placed in the loft of the airport just outside of the city limits. He claimed that The sack was stolen from the airport and the officers here began an in- gestigation. It is possible that Lang was arrested in connection with the Dorbandt case.
 Lange conducts store at Meyers Chuck. He operates boat in con nection herewith and has sold SUD- plies to trollers and brought their cargoes to town to be sold He also is postmaster and carries the mail for the office there on his boat Ketchikan Chronicle.

Smith Loses Boat
 LabouChere Reef

The Success, 49-foot gasboat owned by J. G. Smith, Vank island fox farmer, with his son. George Smith and Gus Beckman aboard, strujk on Labouehere reef near Point Baker, while running in the dark Sunday night.
 Smith was on his way to the west coast of Prince of Wales island to get dog fish for fox feed. Fortu- nately for the men, the skiff was in tow Had it been on deck it would have washed off with the first breaker and in that water the men would not have had a chance to swim to shore. The skiff also was towing on the lee side. Smith had a flashlight and Beckman a knife so that the painter was cut and they were able to jump into the boat on the second breaker. As they leaped from the Success one of the men was able to seize one oar. A second oar lashed to the bottom of the skiff enabled them to row to shore where they joined group of fish ermen. They saw the Success sink out of sight on the third breaker. The boat is valued at $4000.

PARTY TONIGHT ENDS HIGH
 SCHOOL FR0SH TROUBLES

Wrangell high school frosh have had a strenuous time the past two days as a result of the thorough initiation planned by the Soph-Jun- for combination. Stunts to try the souls of the most brazen Frosh and to reduce to near-annihilation the timid members, personal decorations that varied from perky hair bows and other feminine accessories on the boys to an inner tube in lieu of a necklace and tea strainers for earrings have been in evidence. The Frosh have displayed musical, his trionic and artistic talents for the edification of the upper classes and have meekly obeyed all orders, and no doubt deserve the party that is planned for tonight as a wind-up to the frolic. The program for this afternoon included stunts at the school and a Romeo and Juliet per- formance on Front Street at four o'clock.

| from the earliest time it was inhab- ited by man and that the primitive with his stone weapons matched his puny strength successfully against the huge animals.
 Weapons excavated are knives, axes spear heads and chisels made from slate and rubbed probably with granite stones to a keen cutting edge, which when excavated today after being buried for untold ages, are still sharp enough to cut a man.
 The ancients had killing stones for instruments of death. The stones are round, weigh about one pound and were grooved around the cen ter probably to hold sinew ropes with which to throw the stones. Human skulls were excavated eleven feet under ground in which the stone was still imbedded, mute evidence of how life came to a close for those persons.
 The excavations revealed fire places with the stones burned red from constant use. Groups of little round stones are considered by Dr. Hrdlicka to have been used to play game of marbles. Other groups of small stones are identical with those used today by certain primi- tive tribes of South America to kill birds. The. grooved stones, circled by sinew thongs and bound together when thrown into flock will kill a number of birds.
 Captain Mason reports that pre- historic pottery has been found on the island at Alitak only. It is made from a coarse hard mixture and is unique in many respects. Some of the pieces show evidence of having been made with great skill So far only fragments of bowls and jugs have been found.

WRANGELL SPORTSMEN
 ORGANIZE GUN CLUB

A number of local sportsmen have organized the Wrangell Gun Club. At the organization meeting H. R. Coulter was elected president, c. P. Kirtland, Secretary and the president, secertary, and Fred Hanford were appointed as a club committee.
 The Club owns a scow house which has been moved over to Browns island and which has al- ready been used by many duck hunt ing parties.
 Owing to the large number of non members who have used the house during the past month, the club has been forced to place cer- tain restrictions on its use.
 In the future any non member expecting to use the house must secure permission from the club committee and will pay the club soc per day while at the house.
 A watchman has been secured and will be in charge at the club house from October first.

PAUL SPLITS WITH LEADERS
 REP. PARTY

JUNEAU-Wm. L. Paul, indepen- dent candidate for the office of ter ritorial attorney general, left for Fairbanks Wednesday to open his campaign. He denied reports that he would withdraw his candidacy in favor of the present incumbent, John Rustgard, who is seeking re- election.
 Paul asserted that an agreement was made several weeks ago with the First division Republican com mittee by which he was made their assistant secretary at a salary of $250. per month and was promised a position in Rustgard's office at the same salary if the latter were reelected. He stated that he had re- ceived his August salary and ex- penses for one trip but not the Sep tember pay, and that letter writ ten by him asking for an explana- tion was not answered. Later he was notified that the position given him had been abolished.
 MT. Rustgard has denied empha- tically that position in his office was offered Paul, and further denied any knowledge of the salary report ed by the committee. He had had no with Paul since 1924, he stated, except in the presence of witnesses.

possibilities of power development on
the Columbia River. The next great
hydro o-electric development to be under
taken by the Federal Government must
be that on the Columbia River.
This vast water power can be OF in
calculable value to this whole section
Of the country. It means cheap manu-
featuring production, economy and
comfort on the farm and in the house
hold. Your problem with regard to
this great power is similar to our prob
lem in the State of New York with re-
gard to the power development Of the
st. Lawrence River.
Criticizes G. o. p. Record.
The power issue. when vigorously
handled in the public interest, means
abundant and cheaper current for
American industry, reduced rates and
increased use in millions Of urban and
rural homes and preservation of our
water-power resources in coordination
with flood control, reclamation and ir-
rigation. The American people have q
this issue. On the one hand we have
the record of the present Republican
administration. It proposes to continue,
as in the past, to allow the interstate
promoters and manipulators of public
utilities to play fast and loose with the
American public without adequate reg
ulation or control.
Although the President In his ac-
ceptance speech recommends the Fed
eral regulation of interstate power, he
has in the past and as Secretary of
Commerce in the Harding and Coolidge
cabinets opposed Federal regulation of
interstate holding and transmission
companies. He has been silent on the
non'enforcement of the Federal water
power act. He has been evasive on val
uation method and high rates and is
apparently satisfied with the present
type of State regulation.
Since 1928 my distinguished opponent
has done nothing to enforce the regu-
latory sections of the Federal water
power act. He has done nothing to
block the financial operations incident
to the great postwar power develop
ment as planned by its promoters The

insure at all times from mere inspec-
ton. supervision and regulation that the
public shall get fair deal; in other
words, to insure adequate service and
reasonable rates.
"A Community Right"
therefore lay down the following
principle: That where a community
a city or county or a districts not
satisfied with the service rendered or
the rates charged by the private utility.
it has the undeniable right, one of
It's functions OF government, one OF its
functions of home rule to set up after
a fair referendum has been taken, its
own governmentally owned and oper-
ated service. That right has been re-
Scinded In most Of the States Of the
Union. It's general recognition by every
State will hasten the day of better
service and lower rates. 1t is perfectly
clear to me and to every thinking citi-
zen that no community which is sure
that 1t is now being served well and at
reasonable rates by private utility
company will seek to build or operate
its own plant. But on the other hand
the very fact that q community can by
vote of the electorate create q yard

guarantee good service and low rates to
its population. I might call the right
of the people to own and operate their
own utility the birch rod in the cup
board, to be taken out and used only
when the child gets beyond the point
where a mere scolding does any good"
That Is the principle that applies to
communities. I would apply the same
princinles IN the Federal and State
governments.
State owned or Federal owned power
sites can and should properly be de-
veloped by government itself. When so
developed private capital should be
given the first opportunity to transmit
and distribute the power on the basis
of the best service and the lowest rates
to give reasonable profit only. The
right of the Federal Government and
State governments to go further and
to transmit and distribute where reason
able and good service Is refused by
private capital gives to Government,

history Of the Federal Power Commits
sion prior to the creation of full-time
commission under the Couzens bill,
after q congressional investigation, the
character of the appointments made
when this commission took office, the
Muscle Shoals veto and the closing Of
the White House doors to the public
interest in the St lawrence project
policy is dominated by private rather
than public interest.
Defends Radical" Policy.
In 1925 Secretary Hoover asid that
while there was q considerable amount
of speculation going on, especially in
the stocks Of holding companies, he
wished to make 1t clear that with an
intelligent State regulation, neither
water capital nor speculation could
affect the rates paid by consumers and
that there was no need for Federal
control
While President Hoover now urges
Federal control, no administration bill
has been introduced In Congress In the
past four years.
My distinguished opponent is against
giving the Federal Government, in any
case, the right to operate its own power
business. favor giving the people this
right where and when 1t is essential to
protect them against inefficient service
or exorbitant charges.
AS an important part Of this policy,
the natural hydroelectric power re-
sources belonging to the people of the
United States or the several States
shall remain forever in their possession.
To the people Of this country I have
but one answer on this subject. Judge
me by the enemies have made. Judge
me by the selfish purpose of these util-
ity leaders who have talked of RADICAL
ism while they were selling watered
stock to the people and using our
schools to deceive the coming genera
ton. My policy is as radical as Ameri-
can liberty. AS radical as the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Never shall the Federal Government
part with its sovereignty and control
over its power resources while I am
President of the United States
