Town Bids Farewell to
 Maj. Acton and Family

About seventy persons attended the farewell reception given for Major and Mrs. Joseph Acton and their son Bernard at Redmen hall last Friday evening and great many more were unable to attend because of the boats in port and the cannery work in which many were engaged. The affair was ar ranged by the presidents of the various women's organizations of the town augmented by contribu- tions from the mems organizations, the Redmen giving the use of the entire upper hall for the occasion.
 The high esteem in which the Acton family is held by the com munity was voiced by Mayor Kirt- land in short talk in which he eulogized the work done by them during the six years of their resi- dence in Wrangell, expressed regret at their leaving and wished them all good things for their future work. Major Acton called upon Mrs. Acton and the latter paid a high tribute to the assistance and coop eration accorded by the community at all times. In closing, Mrs. Acton said that after all it Is not those who come and go that accomplish the most for the town but the peo- pie of Wrangell themselves, Major Acton punctu.ated his response by humorous stories from his inex- haustible fund and praised the peo- pie of Alaska and the town of Wrangell for the spirit of helpful
 ness and fellowship that prevailed at all times, closing with sincere ! wishes for the future of the com
 munity.
 Refreshments were served from a large table at the end of the main hall which had been decorated with flowers from Wrangell gardens and a pleasant social hour followed.

GIRL INJURED AT JUNEAU IN
 FALL DOWN GLACIER SLIDE

Miss Wanda Cheney, who has ren, Minnesota, for the past sever al weeks was seriously injured last week in a fall while hiking near the old Perseverance mine property.
 The fall came when Miss Cheney and George Leveque, Alaska-Ju- neau employee, attempted a descent of the mountainside beyond the Alaska-Juneau glory hole by means of chopping footholds in the glacier slide. It is estimated that they slid and rolled about 100 yards before coming to a violent halt against the rocks at the bottom.
 Leveque was not hurt so badly as Miss Cheney, and when he was unable to revive his companion he went to the blacksmith shop at the glory hole where he found four men to help him. Miss Cheney was carried two miles on a stretcher to the opening of No. hoist, by means of which she was lowered into the mine, where she was placed in an ambulance car and taken through to the mine entrance. From there an ambulance took her to St. Ann's hospital for medical treatment.
 The accident occurred at 4:30 m, and it was five hours later be- fore Miss Cheney reached the hospi- tai, most of which time she was unconscious.

LIVESTOCK IN STOCK YARDS
 SUFFER AS MEN WALK OUT

CHICAGO, Ill.,, July 24.-With 75,OO0 head of livestock bawling and fretting in the pens while white shirted clerks and executives scrambled about the stockyard to feed and water the animals, some 700 stock handlers were on strike asking for 48-hour maximum work and more pay.
 The yards are chock-full with about three times the normal sup ply of heavy shipments from a drought area.
 Mid the efforts to prevent suf- fering in the damned cattle pens, officials are prepared to appeal for government aid. Pending the re- ceipt of aid weakened animals are being shot at the stock yards as the strike stopped efficient feeding and watering of the penned animals in the blistering temperature.

Alaska College Gets First Home Made Auto

From neglect and a nine years accumulation of dust in an obscure corner of Connors' garage, to g place of honor in the museum oi the Alaska Agricultural College and school of Mines, is to be the fate Of Alaska first homemade auto mobile, reports the Juneau Empire
 The motor vehicle was originated and constructed out of odds and ends by Robert E. Sheldon, Post master at Fairbanks, during his residence in Skagway in 1905. When he was a young man, he evinced a decided interest in Popu- lar Mechanics and other scientific journals. The modish automobile was ingeniousiy evolved from des- criptions and pictures of the new invention, as Skagway, though not unsophisticated, did not boast any autos at that early date, and MT. sheldon had no models to copy.
 Really Ran
 However, it ran, and more than one present resident of Juneau rode up and down Broadway with the proud inventor in his unusual crea- ton. Among those who inspired envy in the hearts of the less for tunate Skagwayites, by riding with MT. Sheldon in his modish vehicle, were MT. and Mrs. J. E. Barrager. Bill Feero and Frank Wilson, all of whom now live in Gastineau Channel communities, and can re- call the awe with which they first saw their first horseless carriage, and the pride with which MT. Shell don operated it.
 Two Scatter
 The car itself is a natty little two scatter and was obviously, in spite of dust, of a brilliant red hue. Power was furnished by a single cylinder, two cycle marine engine with a friction clutch. The car has a wooden frame with old h toned buggy wheels and springs, while the hood is covered with tin. In place of a steering wheel, it's course was determined by means of a jointed gas pipe, which protrudes from the hood, slightly to the left side,
 Something Remains
 The bracket still remains on the front of the car, where formerly carbide lamp furnished light dur ing night rides about Skagway streets and the upholstery looks as though it might be made from eather taken from an old faro able. In place of a rumble seat on he rear there is a tool chest which ased to hold bits. of tin or leather lsed in repairing the motor ca when its varied parts wont amiss
 President Charles E. BunneI, of the Alaska College, has written to have the ancient vehicle crated and shipped to Fairbanks to be pre- served in the college museum and as an example of the ingenuity of the Alaskan pioneer.

DETACHMENT OF FIRST SUBMARINES
 IN ALASKA WATERS VISITS WRANGELL

Delayed by fog and cloudy wea- ther which prevailed much of the time during their voyage north from Seattle, the submarines Mar whal and Dolphin and the rescue vessel Ortolan of the Wrangell de- tachment of submarine division twelve, arrived in port here Sun day morning at g o'clock for a three days visit.
 Mayor c. P. Kirtland and a com mittee of citizens officially well comed the detachment and scores of Wrangell residents were on the waterfront as interested spectators of the first submarines ever to visit Alaskan waters.
 The day was spent in sightsee- ing trips by the officers and men. getting acquainted with the people here while a number took advantage of church services. In the afternoon the officers were guests of the Wo- mems Civic Club at tea. Open house was held in the Legion Hall each afternoon and evening while the submarines were in port Monday night a dance was held in the AN. B. hall for the enlisted men, All entertainment provided was inform al and the visitors were invited to a number of homes.
 A special luncheon meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held Monday noon in the Wrangell hotel dining room, in honor of the of ficers.
 Pick of +he Navy
 We have met to welcome the officers of the submarines now visiting in our port" said F. s. Barnes, president. Tt has been our privilege in past years to look over British men of war, United States torpedo boats and government yes sels of various types, but since l have looked over the submarines and examined the thousands and thousands of gadgets aboard, I really believe that we have with us today officers who are the pick of the navy; they have to know their stuff or they would never have been placed in places of such responsi- bility."
 Mir Barnes the n introduced Lieut. Commander H. W Ziroli commanding the Narwhal and in command of the Wrangell detach- ment, who expressed for himself and his colleagues delight in the Alaskan cruise. the marvellous seen people and the interesting indus tries of the Territory, and said that when he regained the rest of the submarines he would be able to give a very fine account of the manner in which the officers and men had been received in Wran- gell
 Three Types of Submarines
 The submarines, said the Com mander, are surface craft equipped to conduct military operations un- dersea. There are perhaps no more vessels. but on the submarines they are all in sight, instead of being more or less concealed. "The off cers and men," he said, "have par ticular jobs to handle. Most of us must know certain things about certain phases of submarine opera tion, but no one man can know it all" The submarine has developed in the past eighteen years, he stat

ed, from the small 10O-ton type to the 3000-ton type as embodied in the Narwhal in port here and her sister ship. the Nautilus, then in port at Ketchikan, and remarka- ble progress has been made in all features.
 He spoke of the three types of submarines. the coastal patrol, the fleet submarines, capable of going on extensive operations campaign with the speed and radius of action of the fleet, and the mine laying submarines. used by the Germans in the World War, but which have not been developed in the U. S. Navy.
 Largest Undersea Craft
 The Narwhal and Nautilus are the largest submarines in actual operation in any navy of the world. The French, English and Italian navies have submarines almost as large and the British have larger ones which are not now in com mission.
 Future submarines in the United States navy will be of 1900 or 1900 tons. about the size of the Dolphin For reasons of economy. it is not planned to build any more submar- ines as large as the Narwhal. on the principle of too many eggs in one basket Commander ziroli ex- plained The submarines of the Dol phin type accomplish the same pur- pose as the larger submarine with out spending such large sums of money in construction and main tenance They dive and ride easily. are comfortable at sea and offer in some cases more advantages than a destroyer.
 The officers are trained for duty. he said, in submarines.

 He extended a cordial invitation to all in Wrangell to visit the sub marines.
 Lieut., Commander J. B. Griggs. commanding officer of the Dolphin, was the next speaker. He spoke. with humorous illustration. of the special feeling between officers and men on the submarines which is occasioned by their closeness of quarters, the fact that they know each other in way that is not pos sible on the larger surface craft. and they have mutual admiration, respect and confidence in each other.
 He deplored the prevailing be- lief of citizens that the submarines are unduly hazardous and pointed out that in thousands of submerg- ings the United States had lost

Examinations Urged to
 Halt Spread of Cancer

Every girl whose mother has caueer should have a thorough phy- sical examination each six months until 35 years old and each four months past that age. since cancer is much more prevalent among Wo- men than men.
 That warning was given at Meany Hall at the University of Washington by Dr. Clarence Cook Little, former president of the University of Michigan anI presi- dent of the American Society for the Control of Cancer Dc Little's lecture, "The Heredity of Cancer" was sponsored by the King County Medical Society.
 10000 Mice Used
 Dr. Little, considered one of the leading medical research workers in the country, told of extensive experiments carried on with more than 120,000 mice the past twelve years.
 Cancer is no longer Il disease to arouse fear, because in early stages it can be fully cured in nine cases out of ten. If it appears in your family, check up, be careful but don't get panicky!'
 The noted medical scientist said the most modern studies to date have approved only three methods of cure: X-ray, radinm and sur gery.
 Cancer Clinics Approved.
 Dr. Little stated that the Ameri- can College of Surgeons has ap- proved two cancer clinics in Wash ington, the King County Hospital and the Swedish Hospital in Seat tie. He praised the experimental work being done in tue study of high voltage X-rays by University of Washington physicists at the Swedish Hospital, where h. visited.
