MRS. GEORGE BARNES PASSES
AWAY IN CALIFORNIA

Wrangell friends received a brief
wire last week from Elton J. Barnes,
of Modesto, California, stating that
his mother, Mrs. George Barnes, had
passed away on April 2.
Further particulars have not been
received as yet. but it is known that
she has been in failing health for
several years.
Mrs. Barnes was one of the early
missionaries of the Presbyterian
Church in Alaska, having been sent
to Wrangell about 1878 as a teacher
in the mission school which was
conducted here. She married within
a year or two after her arrival and
for about 40 years was a resident
of this section. She had prominent
part in building up the town, and
her death is deeply mourned by a
large circle of friends, white and
Native. She is survived by her son
Elton and his son, Elton Jr.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1934-04-13

The Sentinel has received the fol-
lowing communication from Louis
F. Paul, candidate from Wrangell
for the Legislature on the Republic
can ticket, in the coming primary
election:
Wrangell, April 8, 1884
Editor Wrangell Sentinel
My dear Mrs. Pritchett:
AS a candidate for nomination on
the Republican ballot, April pri-
maries, for Territorial Representa-
tive, l have been asked to set forth
my political principles. l will ap-
preciate space in your valued paper
For the past fifteen years l have
been classed as progressive Re
publican. Supported those men who
worked for elective auditor, COM
missioner of education and treasur-
er. Opposed the fish traps and the
misrule of Henry O'Malley in his
administration of the fisheries Sup
ported every effort to bring actual
home rule" to the Territory. Dur
ing all those years was called rad
ical' and a menace to decent
government" Still in the end, those
who opposed the efforts l strove for,
adopted virtually every principle
supported. My views and convictions
have not changed one whit.
Home Rule Principle
l favor return of the system of
electing the commissioner of educa-
ton as it makes him responsible to
the people and not to a federal gov
ernor As political reward for the
faithful this office is now virtually
a dictatorship-and a self-perpetu-
ating one at that If such a system
is correct then those in political
control should make the delegate to
congress, the auditor and treasurer
appointive. However, l believe that
the rank and file in the territory
believe in and desire to have the say
in who shall govern territorial at
fairs. This is a principle of home
rule which l favor.
Control of Fisheries
| favor control of our fisheries.
Under the present political set-up
the Commissioner of Fisheries is
obligated to the vested interests and
is not free to administer the fish
cries without interference from the
cannery interests. AS an instance 1
point to the present adjustment of
80 traps in Alaska. Set forth as a
fine conservation measure it is
pointed out that removal of so
dummy traps is not conserva-
ton of the fisheries but protec-
ton of the trap interests by remov-
al of necessity of building, main

Wheaton Robbed Of
$500, 80 OF. Gold

Jack Wheaton, veteran Alaska
mining man and prospector, who
has been mining in the Cassiar dis
trict for several seasons, returned
north on the Alaska Monday.
Wheaton spent the winter in the
States much to his sorrow. During
the early part OF March he made a
visit to a Seattle bank to see about
selling 80 ounces of gold which he
had brought out from the Cassiar.
On finding that he could do much
better on the Canadian side he
started for Vancouver in a car
which he had bought, in company
with a Cordova friend.
Near Bellingham he was sudden
ly caught between two automobiles,
one coming from the north and one
from the south. The occupants were
masked bandits, who held up the
two men relieving Wheaton of
$500 in currency besides his so
ounces in gold, and doing even bet
ter with his companion from whom
they took $4,000 in American
money.
The matter was reported to the
police at once and undercover men
put to work on the case. So far as
the Alaskans are concerned their
money is still under cover.
Wheaton will remain in Wrangell
until navigation opens on the Sti-
kline when he will go into the Cas-
star again for further prospecting
and development of his properties
there.
