RECENT PRESS ITEMS RELATE
TO FAMILY OF WRANGELL MAN

KONA, N, Cts a good thing
for the real estate business that
everybody isn't like Will Silver and
his family.
He is living in a log house built
by his great-grandfather, George
Silver.
None but a Silver ever has lived
there, for the building never has
been sold, rented or mortgaged
1t has sheltered five generations
of the family and has never been
unoccupied.
The above item which has recent
ly appeared in the press items of
various Alaska newspapers, was
shown to George e. Silver, who
came from North Carolina last year
to join the faculty of Wrangell In
stitute.
The George Silver of the press
notice, was Col George Silver, who
fought in the Revolution and for
some time served as a bodyguard of
George Washington. After the war
he moved from the family home in
Maryland to Pennsylvania and there
coined the German families who
were migrating into western North
Carolina. Col. Silver settled on
large tract of land near the boun-

manager of the Ketchikan Spruce
Mills, recently returned from a trip
to Anchorage where he received an
order for $4,000 ties from the Alas
ka railroad. This order, according
to DAILY, represents 3,733,00O feet
of lumber and is by far the largest
single order the Ketchikan plant
has had in several years. Although
the contract for the tie order has
not been signed, he expects to re-
ceive it in the near future from the
northern headquarters of the rail-
road. The ties will be creosoted at
a plant to be built by the railroad
at either Anchorage or Seward. The
latter town was considered the more
favorable by Colonel Otto F. OIL
son, manager of the railroad, but
it has not been definitely decided
where the plant will be constructed

This play, which will be given on Monday and Tuesday evenings. March 12th and 18th, is mystery farce and is acclaimed as one of the best mys- terry thrillers ever written. Inter spersed within it's tense situations are many laughs and lovers of mystery plays are assured of the usual chills and thrills.
 Frank Lyon will play the leading part and the other members Of the cast will be seen to advantage with Peggy CoudraY and Grace Carney in important roles.
 |"Spooks" is quite different from the ordinary run of mystery stor- ies in that while you are mystified you are also greatly amused at the clever situations which would have to be seen to be appreciated. There is plenty of action and not dull moment for anyone. MT Palmer ton Is anxious to see new faces each week or so that this little or ganization may be assured that they are making permanent friends here. Many leters have bene re- ceived asking for mystery play and the management feels that 1t couldn't have selected a better one than "Spooks" which has been so successful everywhere 1t has been presented. The curtain rises at 8:30 sharp and 1t is hoped that everyone will be seated at this time in order to enjoy this play thor oughly.

 The establishment of solid foun- sdations ton which a life of char sacter and accomplishment can be based is the real purpose of boy guidance work, he declared. He placed strong emphasis on the need ,of wholesome activities to fill up ,time that youths would otherwise idle away.
