NEW REGULATIONS FEDERAL HOUSING
 PROGRAM WILL AID LOCAL BUILDING

life in Alaska, is we'll acquainted with conditions in the Territory, and has been instrumental in eff fecting a liberalization of the regulations of the program in Alas ka Under the revised regulations it will be possible to obtain funds from financial institutions ap- proved by the Federal Housing Ad- ministration for the construction of buildings on property upon which no building or other im- proyements now exist.
 Regulations Liberalized
 Previously, Pegues said, it was necessary to make improvements to property upon which a building was already located. By means of the modification it will be possi- ble, for instance, to construct a summer cottage at a vacation re- sort or any other selected place. The restriction that not more than $2000 may be obtained for a build ing is still in effect, however.
 AuOIuGT HI DOIIdHI mOulllCd- tion," MT. Pegues declared, "is that notes may now have a final maturity date of five years instead of three years"
 Until the revised regulations were issued it was not possible to obtain modernization loans for property having Ou a n i Il g against it delinquent taxes or as- sessments, except under quite rigid conditions. Now taxes or assess ments or interest -or mortgages may be delinquent and the loan may still be obtained if the bank to which application is made is satis fled with the credit risk. A way is also provided for person whose income has not now reached the required figure of five times the annual payments on the loan to improve property.
 Other New Phases
 "The liberalization with respect to this feature" said Pegues,

The Federal Housing Program made it's advent in Wrangell this week in the person of John E. Pegues, Territorial Director for Federal Housing Administration, who arrived from Juneau on the Norco to explain the program and assist local authorities in putting it into effect.
 Every bank in southeast Alaska has now either accepted policies of insurance under Title I of the National Housing Act, or has ap piled for policies, according to. a statement made by MT. Pegues at a public meeting held in the Bills club Monday ecvening. During his visit to the northern part of the district, Pegues conferred with E. A. Rasmuson, president of the Bank of Alaska. Mr Rasmuson signed applications for insurance not only for the home office of the Bank of Alaska at Skagway, but also for the branches at Wrangell and An chorage, Pegues said. He also IOuuQ muCn interest III lue IloLIe Modernization program in Skag way. He met with the executive committee of the Skagway Cham Der of Commerce to outline plans for a Home Modernization cam paign, which will begin immediate ly after the holidays.
 Wrangell Organizes
 A meeting called by the chamber of commerce, and held in the Bills club at 7:30 o'clock Monday eve ming, was we'll attended and much interest was shown. Frank S. Barnes was e 6 c e d temporary chairman. A permanent committee is to be appointed at the next regu- lar meeting of the chamber, which is scheduled to take place shortly after the first of the New Year, at which meeting regular officers of the chamber will be elected for 1885

3 Start World Cruis e With Trip to SEE. Alas.

Because wind and weather were against them, three young men from Butte, Montana, who had bought a 33-foot yawl at Seattle, and engaged Captain Hal Ferris, former Matson line officer, as skip per for a sailing trip around the world, abandoned the idea of start ing out on the trip by going to San Francisco and came to Alaska in stead. The young men are J. M. Keenan, dentist, Charles Adami, mining engineer, and Wayne John son, in the mercantile business at Butte.
 They had a delightful time dur ing their months sailing cruise of the Inside Passage to Ketchikan where they arrived on November 30. From there Captain Ferris wanted to go to Lake Bay to renew acquaintance with Mckenzie Scot .tie' McDougall. After arriving there the boys decided to stay for few weeks to see the country so SopIoAh CI 10 bOOh PeloOooC Oh OhS of the steamers to spend Christmas in Seattle. They came into Wrangel Thursday aboard the yawl to do their Christmas shopping and re- turned to Lake Bay the next day laden with a turkey and all the trimmings for their Christmas din ner.
 The boys divide ship duties and cooking privileges and to this end they included in the ships pro- visions about eight pounds of cook books which they read when unde- cided whether to open the blue can or the red can of pork and beans before starting preparations for dinner.

Red Cross Asks Town to Buy New ReSuSCitatOr

Following the disposal of routine business by the Ped Cross executive board at the monthly meeting Monday night, the need for a re- liable resuscitating device in the community wau discussed at some length and resulted in a motion prevailing that the chapter submit a request to the town council that it take steps to buy a resuscitator for use in cases of drowning or as- phyxiation. To start the movement the Red Cross voted to contribute $25 toward such a purchase.
 It was stated that a certain type of resuscitator which has been found very satisfactory by Ketehi- kan would be a practical model for Wrangell to purchase. The cost is S375O0.
 H. D. Campbell, acting chapter chairman, and chairman of the Roll Call committee. reported that 260 memberships and S15.25 in do- nations had been secured to date. This was held to be .an excellent showing for a town of Wrangell' s size. MT. Campbell also announced that Miss Irene Coulter had audited the chapter books without charge as she has done for a number of years.
 Routine business considered included voting to pay bills pre- sented to the amount of $9.75, the cost of two blankets for a man who was found to be sleeping in a wa- terfront cabin without blankets of any sort. The chairman of the relief committee had been of assistance in getting work for him, so that he was able to secure fuel. All other relief furnished was from supplies of food and clothing on hand or by individual contributions.
 F. c. Hanford and Mir Campbell will represent the Red Cross in packing the Christmas baskets nex Saturday at the Wrangell hotel for distribution to the needy. They will have the assistance of work CTS from a number of organiza- tions, and in this way duplication of baskets is avoided.
 Members of the executive board present at Monday nights meeting were the chairman, H. D. Camp bell, Russell F. Pederson, F. G. Hanford, Charles Benjamin, Dr. skal De- T Mrs. Josephine Mason, Mrs. M. O. Johnson, Mrs. E. c. Anderson, Mrs. Carruthers, and Mrs. Pritchett.

FUNDS
 WILL BUILD
 NEW STREETS

More than 75 names have been registered at the office of U. s. Commissioner John Stedman by Federal Emergency Relief Admin istration, it was announced Thurs day, and it is believed that over loo will sign applications before the end of the week
 The local work is part of the vast relief program provided by the Federal government to care fo needy unemployed during the ter months, and word was ie
 from Governor John Troy early t4 week that funds for certain kin' of civic improvement would be available immediately, and that man from the Juneau office of the EZRA would arrive in Wrangel. some time this week, or early next week.
 Upon receipt of information that funds were available to give em- plOyment to those in need, a com mittee composed of John Stedman, Charles Benjamin and Harry Coul- ter was appointed to act for the town, and confer with the Town Council, the Commercial club and other civic bodies regarding needed public works.
 Reconstruction and repair of Front street from Case avenue, near the Sisters and Brothers hall, to Shakes Point and the Boardway crab cannery has been decided upon as the first and most impera- tive project. It was pointed out that this street serves a section of the town in which Natives are 2he principal property owners, and that the town cannot levy assess ments on lands listed as Indian Possessions for street improve ments.
 Other projects under considera- tion by the committee are the school grounds, the continuation of Church street. and a new street which will extend from the Lewis property on Front street to Bishop Rowe General hospital.
 Reconstruction of lower Front street will start as soon as the representative of the EZRA arrives to supervise the work, it was stat ed. The pay will be fifty cents an hour with each man limited to hours work a week. Those who wish to register for this work will receive information by applying to the commissioner.

WrangelI Shingle Mill
 Business Increasing

The Wrangell shingle mill has finished the most successful year of business since it passed into the hands of F. Angerman in 1881, ac- cording to a statement made by the owner this week The mill sawed some 250,OOO feet of red ce- dar logs, logged by local loggers, marketed approximately 100,70O,- GOO shingles throughout Alaska.
 MT. Angerman. it will be remem- bered. came to Wrangell from La touche in 1880, and although he knew virtually nothing about the manufacture of shingles when he bought the plant from M. McKin- ney. he has maintained the splen- did reputation which the Wrangell product has enjoyed since the foundation of the business over fifty years ago.
 The plant, which operates under the NRA, employs three local work CTS, a sawyer, packer and drag sawyer, and works five days week. The payroll amounts to about S16 per Work day, MT. An german said. This does not include money paid to loggers who provide the mill with cedar logs, which amounts to $50 or $40 a day at the season when the men are engaged in logging operations. Both power Ioggers and hand loggers were en- gagged during the past season.
 Angerman is optimistic about the future of Wrangell, and Alas ka in General The MIRA has aided in reducing competition from the big mills on Puget sound. and has been instrumental in raising the standard of shingles wherever manufactured.
 Wrangell shingles, MT. Angerman says, are sold under the brand HOO

John Paddy" COburn
 Dies Mon. Aged 80 Yrs.

The death of John F. Coburn, known to his familiars as Paddy" marks the passing of one of the most beloved and interesting char acters in Wrangell. He died in the hospital Tuesday morning, of old age. Funeral services were held at the Catholic church, the Rev. Fa- ther Monroe officiating. Interment was made Wednesday afternoon at Redmen's cemetery.
 Paddy" was born in the south of Ireland some 80 years ago, ac- cording to Donald Sinclair, who knew him better, perhaps, than anyone in town.
 "He was the most widely travelled man that I ever knew" MT. Sin clair told the Sentinel's represen- tative. "He ran away from home as a boy, and signed aboard sailing ship, bound for New Zealand. From that time on he was a wanderer. He was a great fellow to jump ship dhu dOOdI III IOl SOuh tries, Africa, China, Canada there seems to be no spot on the globe that he hadn't visited. Once we asked in a joking manner, whether he had ever been to the North Mole. He said he had been as close to it as he could get on ship. That was at Point Barrow: He sailed there on a whaler out of Dundee"
 Paddy came to Wrangell about 25 years ago and dropped anchor" for good. He was a fisherman until old age overlook him; for num- Der of years he has been a pen sioner of the Territory. He lived in a small cabin at the head of the bay, near Anderson's boatshop.

MRS. BRUEGER HOME FROM
 TRIP TO ATLANTIC COAST

Mrs. A R. Brueger, the former Miss Margaret Grant of Wrangell, returned to her home last Tuesday on the steamer Yukon, after an eX- tended tour of the east. Following their marriage in New York M and Mrs. Brueger motored to t.~ Pacific Coast by the southern route, visiting friends and relatives enroute. Matters pertaining to his Alaska fish brokerage business de- tained MT. Brueger in Seattle for a few days while Mrs. Brueger, who has the Peggy Shop in Wrangell. hurried home to be on hand for the Christmas rush.
 New York is wonderful, of course" confided Peggy, 'I visited all the shops, and all the places that one simply must see-Metro- politan Museum of Art, the Rocke feller Center, Radio City, the Chrv- sler building, the Cotton club. The Great White way isn't quite as white as I expected, perhaps be- cause everything else it lit up even the people. New York has the best cocktails in the world!"
 Four days of their honeymoon were spent in San Francisco and two in Seattle, in which places Mrs. Brueger did the buying for her shop. While in Seattle they were the guests of her younger sister, Mrs. Harold Thomas of Bremerton.

SAWMILL RUNS 3 DAYS TO FILL FISH BOX AND LBR. ORDERS

Unexpected calls for fish boxes caused the Alaska Spruce & Cedar Products company to get up steam for three days of cutting which commenced Monday. Both the head saw and resaw were operating, with a skeleton crew of nineteen men.
 Lumber for the construction of portions of Shakes street, which is now contemplated by town authori- ties with funds provided by the EZRA, was also sawed while the mill was operating.
