Cable Supplements Radio Communications At Wrangell Station

Wrangell Is no longer cut off from contact with the rest of the world, outside the regular station hours, nine to six on week days, ten to eleven and five to six on Sundays and holidays, of the local United States Signal Corps station.
 The established methods of com- munication by radio that early in 1927 superseded the cable system, are now supplemented by utilizing the cable as an open circuit, Morse method, used by telegraph compan- ies throughout the world. Contact Is maintained with Alaska and the outside world through the Ketehi- kan station.
 During station hours communica- tion is conducted by radio. The Morse circuit is used for contact at other times than established schedules for messages of extreme emergency only. For instance, ," explained c. W. DeRemer, operator in charge, "a merchant cannot rush In after hours and send a cable to a Seattle produce house to ship him an extra crate of lettuce. The emergency must be a non-commer- cial one"
 DeRemer has been notified that a telephone radio set will be shipped to the Wrangell station in the very near future. The complete uses to which this set will be utilized can not be anticipated, but it's primary purpose will be to keep in contact with all small boats, mail, passen- ger and fishing, which have radio sets for communication.
 The additional service provided residents of this district have been effected through orders from the military authorities under which the Signal Corps functions, but the great improvement made recently in the appearance of the station, is due to the efforts of DeRemer, who started in on a big cleanup cam paign when he was put in charge of the station on October 1.
 The main office space has been increased by the removal of the low partition at the rear, the furnish ings of that portion installed in an added room at one side which a small hallway separates from the workroom.
 The improvements include new

New Internat'l Books
 Received at Library

Five new books of the Interna- tional Mind Alcove group were re- ceived last week from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and have been put into circula- tion at the public library. One of the five books deals with a prob lem of outstanding international interest, European War Debts and Their Settlement by Wildon Lloyd, and anyone who reads this book will realize, whatever his viewpoint, that the problem is not g simple one.
 A reviewer of another book, The Heritage of Freedom. by James T. Shotwell, says: Do you know how freedom has developed in Canada? Do you know what the Canadians regard ss their great charter of liberties? Do you know why other nations accuse us of hypocrisy? If not, read this book"
 No One to Blame, by M. C.. Hubbard can be read at one sitting and it is said that there is not an uninteresting paragraph in it's 276 pages. It deals with the facts of living in the African wilds.
 For a stormy winter evening, My Normandy, by Mary Cable Dennis is recommended. It depicts the life of the French peasont and villager living close to the soil.
 The fifth book contains the lat est essays and speeches of Nicholas Murray Butler. The spirit under lying these writings is expessed by the author at the close of the introduction: That new world Is being born is as certain as any thing we'll can be. Whether is shall be a world in which Liberty will remain the cornerstone, or whether 1t shall be a world in which Liber- ty has been discarded for compul- sion, lies in the hands of the men and women of today and tomor- row."

Plans Drawn for Anan Stream Improvement

Plans and specifications for pro- posed dams and fish ladders for Anan creek were completed this week by Boyd Yaden, who moved to Wrangell the first of September from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Yaden is a civil and construction engineer and graduate of Oregon State University.
 The bureau of fisheries is trying to obtain PWA funds to put through the work this winter. The project has been fostered for some time by Shirley A Baker, resident agent, but as he is a patient at a Seattle hospital and will be there for some time to come, it is possi- ble that he will not be able to ob- tain necessary funds at once.
 The proposed work includes two concrete dams and fish ladders at a cost of $1S,000. It will employ approximately twenty men. The bu- reau estimates that 150,000 spawn CTS are lost each year due to the fact that they cannot get up the falls into the creek.

Sea Serpent Found on Island Near Pr Rupert Object of Much Interest

"A body like a 30-foot boa con- strictor, head like a horse. with coarse red hairs on the mane, and sembling an alligator" was the description given by Robert Rogers, who returned to Wrangell on the steamer Princess Norah Monday, of a sea denizen which he had seen the previous day at Prince Rupert.
 On Monday of last week, H. Sundstrum, a Prince Rupert fish erman, passing Henry Island, in- vestigated the beach to see what had attracted great flocks of gulls. and found a sea monster washed up on the shore by the waves. In all his experience on salt water he had never seen anything like it.. A Fish heries department boat brought the sea serpent in to Rupert for study. Dr. Carter of the Biological staff, after examina- tion of the creature suggested that it might be a giant ray, but was unable, he said, pending further research and study to arrive at a definite conclusion as to what it is. Dr. Robert N. Bedford, another member of the Biological station staff, submitted the following to the Prince Rupert Daily Empire:
 This monster of the deep pro- bably is the great oarfish-Regale- GUS. The name is from rex, king; and halec, herring. It means King of herring. This name was given to it by the people of Norway be- cause it was thought that to harm it would be to drive the herring to some other coast.
 ''These creatures may reach a length of 20 to 30 feet, or more, and from their great size, slender

Explorer Interested
 In Frances Lake Post

The Sentinel Is deeply indebted for the correction and valuable in- formation received today in a letter from Fenley Hunter, New York businessman, big game hunter and explorer in the Cassiar district, re- garding an article published recent ly about the Hudson's Bay company re-establishing, after nearly one hundred years, trading post at one of the most remote parts of the company's domain. MT. Hunters letter follows:
 "I am very much interested in in your Frances lake article in the October 18th issue of the Sentinel. The name of the lake should be spelled Frances" not Francis" be- cause Campbell upon discovering the lake in 1840 named it after Lady Frances Simpson, the wife of Sir George Simpson, the then reigning Governor of Hudson's Bay Go. The late W. Scott Simpson, "the grand old man of Cassiar," was a descendant of Sir George Simpson. Scott Simpson was greatly interest ed in Frances lake and possessed a old gold watch fob, which was also used for making an imprint in the wax used for sealing letters In those days. The imprint made by the old gold seal spelled the name Frances and it therefore once be- longed to Lady Frances Simpson, for whom Frances lake was named.
 Heirloom Gift
 "After I returned from my jour ney to Frances lake in 1923 on be- half of the Canadian government, Scott Simpson presented me with the old gold seal or fob that once belonged to Lady Frances Simpson, and a few years later I presented the heirloom to Hudson's Bay com pany for exhibition among their other relics at Winnipeg. AS mat ter of fact, I think this old watch fob, bearing the name Frances, was carried by Sir George Simpson, it being the custom of the time for a gentleman to have his wife's name appear on his watch fob, rather than his own name.
 "You are correct In stating that old Fort Frances was abandoned in 1851. I did not know that it was burned by the Indians. However, you do not accurately describe the site of old Fort Frances which was situated at the most southerly point of land forming a V between East and West Arms of Frances lake. You know Frances lake is a bifurcated lake, each arm of which is about 25 miles long and about one mile wide. Further, Frances lake lies in the southeastern DOT tion of Yukon territory, rather than southwest as you state, and at an elevation of 2575 feet. The distance by river from Liard Post to the lake is 13S miles. Frances , river debouches into the Liard 52 miles above Liard Post, and from the mouth of Frances river up 10 the lake is 86 miles, nearly all of which is fast water-tough going for canoes, even when powered with outboard motors.

SAW MILL HAS BEST YEAR SINCEPLANT

ed supply of lumber for boxing i their products for shipment to &c., attle. The Diamond K. Packing Co. at Wrangell were also customers of the mill.
 Manufactured Lumber Lumber for building purposes of all kinds were manufactured by the Wrangell mill. Materials for the new Kenai headquarters of the Alaska Game Commission were shipped from here, as we'll as lum- Der for new territorial and govern ment school houses at Port Graham and Portlock, on the Alaska Penin- sula. Material for a 11-room resi- dence and a wireless station at Waterfall were provided by the To- cal mill, and plans for the build ings were designed by Nussbaumer, who sublet the contract to Ed Christensen, well known Wrangell contractor.
 Excellent Product
 Few people who visited the new Campbell Brothers store were aware that virtually the entire building was constructed of Wrangell lum- Der, although much comment was heard about the attractiveness of the hardwood" floors. The hard wood" floors were kiln-dried hem lock manufactured by the local mill and sold at a price that compares more than favorably with fir or other flooring from the States.
 An attractive feature of the new store, and one which has aroused much interest among builders, is the novelty cedar siding. This pro- duct, while presenting the hand some appearance of lap siding, is manufactured in such a fashion that it leaves no hollow space un- der the overlap as ordinary siding does. This is a new product, recent ly designed by Nussbaumer and manufactured this year for the first time.
 A total of 19,275.36 was paid out for logs during the season, and with the exception of one raft from the West Coast, secured at a time

The Alaska Spruce & Cedar Products company, lessee of the Wrangel1 sawmill this month ter minated the most successful year of operation since the plant was taken over in 1892 by N. Nuss- baumer. Lumber shipments with a total value of approximately S34,- GOO were made to various parts of Alaska and the States, and one consignment of clear finished spruce went to a furniture factory in Scotland.
 Repair work around the plant started early in February, with IA men employed. In March about 40 more men were added, and by April there were S4 men on the payroll. During the months of June,. July and August the employees varied from 23 to 2S, while in September the total number of employees was 3S The payroll of the year totalled $30,212.58, according to figures made available to the, Sentinel this week.
 Fishing Industry Helps
 While the Wrangell mill supplies much manufactured lumber for building construction, both locally and in neighboring communities, the bulk of the product is used by the fishing industry, Nussbaumer says, and without their support the mill would be unable to operate. Hale and Barnes, of the Wrangell Packing company, alone used more than 33,000 box shocks, according to the mill records, and shipments were also made to other canneries. The Sebastian-Stuart Go. at Tyee, used 5000 salmon cases and 1000 boxes for frozen fish, while the Pa cific American Fisheries purchased 48,000 shocks, which were loaded aboard the North King for plants in Bristol Bay.
 Products of the Wrangell mill were used by Libby, McNeill and Libby, the Nakat Packing corpora tion, and Hood Bay and Peril Strait plants. The local fish buyers and the shrimp and crab packers furnish a ready market for a limit
