 TAX THREATENS
 SALMON PACK

A proposed processing tax of $24O per case on canned salmon by the Agricultural Adjustment Admin istration for the benefit of farmers is the threat that hangs over the Alaska salmon industry. Proceeds from the tax are to go to hog raisers to compensate them for reduced production. The Hon. A. J. Dimond, Delegate from Alaska has entered a strong protest. He argued that the fisheries products of Alaska are not truly competitive with pork because of the limited pack and comparative high price,
 Delegate Dimond suggests that various organizations who are inter- ested in the fisheries of Alaska wire George N. Peck, Administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Administra- tion, protesting against the tax and giivng reasons for their objections.

JUNIOR BOWMAN ISSUES
 INVITATIONS TO PARTY

Henry Bowman Jr. who was un- able to celebrate his fourth birthday last summer with a party, had a Halloween party instead at his home Tuesday afternoon. In addition to the invitations extended by Mrs. Bowman, the young man in his en- thusiasm over his first party on his own initiative invited about twenty five others of assorted ages to whom it was the embarrassing duty of his mother to explain that Tiny had not taken the size of his home into account when issuing the invitations.
 The Bowman home was gay with Halloween decorations which also prevailed at the tables where re- treatments were served. The guests were Jean. Robin, Harry and Yo- lande Jane Ferguson, Edrie, Mar jorie and Wesley Sumption, Rhoda Ann and Frances Hanford, Raymond Ford, Margaret Rose Ritchie, Walde- mar Johansen, and Joan and Shirley Halvorsen. Adults present were Mrs. George Sumption, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Halvorsen, Mrs. Albert Ron ming and Mrs. Pat Roach.

the grassy slope, the grass was torn up and trampled by many feet: wolf tracks were visible in the mud wolf hair was scattered to the four winds. Even the snare with the clog attached had been drag ged from place to place showing the great tug of war that had taken place.
 Evidently their lust for blood had caused them to turn cannibal devouring their mate with zest. The sight that greeted me left no doubt in my mind as to what a pack of these wolves might do to person, when once they found man helpless. Then and there made up my mind to go after them little stronger and make them pay for their folly. Sufficient to say, few days later I hung up the pelts of three. two blacks and one gray. And the end is not yet.

Mining Short Course
 Will Aid PrOspectOrs

The enhanced value of gold is proving one of the greatest pieces of good fortune that has befallen AL aska in the past decade. It means that Alaska which is now one of the most important gold producing regions of the United States is des- tined to expand the operation of the existing gold mines and to open many new gold mines.
 The stage is all set for some new gold mines to be dug out of the forests or the tundra of Alaska. The first actor to appear on the stage is the prospector. This winter it will not be possible to do much effective prospecting for new deposits. Next summer there should be hundreds of prospectors in the hills of Alaska.
 The ten weeks mining short course which opens at the Alaska College November 25th is a good training school for the men who plan to enter seriously into gold prospecting next summer.
 The training covers all the steps from the tracing of float on a hill- side, to methods of developing and marketing a prospect. It includes such features as compass surveying, assaying, blow-pipe work, practical laboratory training in treating and concentrating various types of gold ores, and lectures on mining law.
 Several hundred men varying in age from IS to 65 years, many of whom have had very little formal schooling, have taken this training in past years at the Alaska College. The fact that each year 20 to 25 new men show up for this work is the best testimony of it's practical value to the man in the hills.

CANNTBAL VOL YES
By OTIS H. STEER

Thet fog hung heavy on the mountain and all the world seemed enveloped in gloom, as I climbed steadily up the mou in side. The chill of fall was n the air, occas- sional blasts of wind and rain smote me i'll the face. Weighted down with heavy wolf traps, like so many chunks of lead, at every step my pack straps seemed to sink deeper into my shoulders.
 knew it was no fit day for mountain climbing yet I climbed doggedly on, for a few days previ- ous I had made this same climb with a similar pack and now must visit those traps to see what they might hold. could almost hear the clank of chain and see a huge wolf fighting for freedom. I was drawn onward and upward by the thrill of it. Fog, rain and even sheer cliffs could not stop me now.
 I thought of those who advocate deep breathing, and smiled as my chest rose and fell like some me- chanical bellows. For two and one half hours I climbed steadily up- ward for when the wolves insist on inhabiting the higher range, I must climb up there in order to get them.
 As I came nearer the top, the rain increased and the fog became so heavy that it was possible to see only a short distance.
 My traps were placed upon the very summit, a long hogs back that fell away on either side quite abruptly. Those who have never been on mountain top during a storm can hardly conceive the tre- mendous force with which the ele- ments play around the mountain peaks and sweep across the higher ridges. The strenuous climb with

the weighty pack had caused the sweat to trickle down my spine, regardless of the chill that was In the air. and now the cold wind that was sweeping the mountain passes almost froZe my blood. To keep moving was the only choice. Numb with the cold I fought my way along the summit of the ridge while the fog and rain went sweeping by in great waves that plotted out everything beyond few paces, oc- casionally little icy pellets that stung like needles were driven into my face. At times great gusts of wind almost swept me off my feet feeling to creep over my body, so dense was the fog that 1t was hard to determine just whether I was on mountain or where I was, con- sequently I was forced to keep strong grip on my mentalities to keep my bearings and not become bewildered At last I reached my favorite triple set to find two wolves had been caught, one was held fast in two strong traps and many tracks circling round and round showed that several wolves had come very close, while quite evidently, the rattle of chains and the gleam of iron had caused them to hold back with certain amount of fear
 At the other end of the triangle set snare had captured a black wolf. This wolf being choked down by the snare soon died and the snare being only partly visible, the wolf pack soon closed in and de- voured their mate with relish, leav- ing only a portion of the neck which was held by the snare. All bones were eaten or carried away leav- ing nothing that I might present to collect the bounty. All around

 Claims presented and ordered paid amounted to s393993 from the general fund and $1S58.42 from the light department.
 Fireworks Department
 The fact that the council is the governing body of the town and that some dignity should attach to the council chamber and that considera- ton of the towns affairs by the council and city officers should be conducted with courtesy, was en- tirely lost sight of in a bitter con- troversy starting over dog tax col lections and involving H. Ferguson, night marshal, and Councilmen Hanford and Bidwell.
 Ferguson refused to collect the dog taxes and stated his case badly. He felt that it was an injustice to ask him to work such long hours on poor pay and resented the fact that the highest paid town employe had recently had his salary raised s20 a month under the plea of MIRA requirements, while he, himself, was kept on less than a living wage and expected to work more than his present hours, which he stated were 63 a week He resented bitterly charges of inefticiency and neglect of duty, feeling that he had done his work well and that the town should appreciate the fact. Hanford, chairman of the committee, started cut courteously, and ended by all most coming to blows with Bidwell, who had been insisting that Fer guson should not be dismissed from office without due investigation of the charges brought against his efficiency as a police officer,
 Hanford, In his anger, told Bid well that he should not have so much 10 say; that he had spent more money than any man on the couneils B'dwell, Interpreting this to mean that he had bought his cleo ton, called Hanford a damn liar. Both men sprang to their feet brand ishing fists across the council table. Ferguson jumped from his chair took hold of Hanford to put him under arrest. but desisted when his attention was called to the fact that he was not on duty until nine cclork

GasbOat Lymph Has
 Narrow Escape In Ice

The gasboat Lymph, Capt. Will liam Fletcher, Wrangell boat build er with o. H. Speer of Wrangell and R. Parks and Earl Mills of Ket- chikan aboard, returned to port late Friday afternon, just as Capt. Fletcher's brother-in-law, William Taylor. alarmed by his prolonged absence, was getting ready to start out to search for him.
 The party left Wrangell on October 19, for the lower Stikine, the Ketchikan men bound for a moose hunt and Speer out for wolves. They anchored that night at An drew's Slough but the next evening as a strong wind was blowing and ice beginning to form in the slough, Capt Fletcher dropped back down the slough and when darkness over toik hm anchored for the night at Six Mile Point, to find next morning that the Lymph was caught in ice which had formed during the night. The Stikine was full of floating ice and the slough was frozen solidly from bank to bank, in the earliest ioe ever known in that region by the oldest of oldtimers here. Boat Moves With Ice When an eighteen-foot tide came in that Saturday afternoon, the ice moved upstream taking the Lymph with it, all anchor and holding lines being snapped off short. The boat despite it's sturdy construction, bent and buckled under the strain of the ice which moved it about 300 yards and then showed it into the shore and tore out a plank from the hull. The boat quickly filled with water until the tide turned and left it dry.
 There was but one hour of day light given to Fletcher to repair his boat. His companions state that he certainly sowed his boat building ability in. saving the Lymph by making the repairs so speedily un- der such difficult conditions.
 Fortunately, Speers equipment in- sary neces ngy?oa :morni of-ras included a tent and camp stove and the three men succeeded during the hour of daylight in unloading the some wood for fuel.
 For the next three days the men chopped ice in relays with snow and sleet and icy gales blowing all the time. On the next Friday they cut their way out of the slough into the Stikine river and came back to town.
 Wolves Coming Down River
 Speer, who had made the trip up the Stikine to investigate the ru- mors that wolves were working out of the interior down the Stikine, went out for two or three hours during the first Friday at Andrews Slough and saw enough wolf sign to convince him that quite a num- Der of wolves have come down the river this fall.

HOPES SECURE ALLOTMENT

 Leo Mccormack and J. c. Grant, representing the Chamber of Com merce, were present and stated that the Chamber members wished to lend hearty support to the coun- cil's steps to secure public works loans for Wrangell. They endorsed the projects selected, improvement of water and sewer systems and a bulkhead for Front Street as needed for the public welfare and added the request that the council endeav- or to secure a portion of the funds allotted for Indian relief work
 Indian Work Relief
 A Wrangell project on which practically all labor would be per formed by Indians was recommended and the suggestion made that this project be the extension of South Church street to connect with the bridge at Wrangell Highway, the construction of a street from Case avenue to intersect Church street and a sewer system to include the hospital district down to Front treet and to Case avenue.
 This lower tract is almost entirely Indian Possessions within the incor- porated limits of the town. The res idents of the district are without any sewer system and many without water connections.
 The council accepted the sugges- tion of an Indian project and voted to endeavor to secure funds for tbe financing.
 Financial Statement

 General receipts ---- 5 4,519.0
