was a member, in support of the measure. However, once more the bill died "in committee"
 The main trouble at this time is centered on the beach at the foot of Waterbury avenue in Madison, hence the local interest. Through an odd kink in nature the beaches in the fashionable section of the town have at differ ent times yielded three different kinds of commercially valuable sand and gravel of exceptionally fine quality. It is used largely in the manufacture of abrasives and also for polishing. About 40 years ago, dark, red sand, particularly rich in iron, was found which proved exceptionally fine for moulding purposes. It was over the removal of this red sand that the original fight started. The present sand is especially suited for pigeon and other bird feeds.

City OF ketchikan is
Denied Liquor License

The Territorial Board of Liquor
Control has denied the city council
of Ketchikan a retail liquor license
for a liquor store to be opened by
the municipality.
The denial of license was based
on an opinion by James S. Truitt,
Territorial Attorney General and
member of the Liquor Board, that a
city council in Alaska has no legal
or moral right to expend tax payers
money in the operation of a retail
liquor store.
Mr.. Truitt derived his opinion
from the Municipal Code passed in
1923 by the Alaska legislature In
enumerating the powers and au-
thority vested in the city council,
the only businesses mentioned aside
from public utilities, are fuel and
lighterage and tax moneys cannot
be diverted to support them.

To the taxpayers of wrangell:


On May 25 you will have an OPP
portunity of voting on the question
as to whether or not the town shall
avail itself of the generous offer
made by the federal government to
help us improve our water system,
our main street and sewer system.
In order that you may fully
understand and appreciate just
what a golden opportunity is being
offered for your ratification l wish
to present the facts in connection
with this proposed bond issue.
PWA Loans
Due to the general unemployment
now existing in the nation the fed
eral government, through the pub
lie works administration, is offer
ing to every town and city an OPP
portunity to improve, enlarge or
construct anything of a public ma
ture, such as streets, waterworks,
light plants, public buildings, ETC.,
In order to assist the towns or cities
in financing these worthy projects
the public works administration is
making an outright grant of thirty
percent of the cost of labor and
material and will buy bonds of the
towns for the balance required to
complete each project.
These bonds are to mature in in
stallments not exceeding thirty
years, each installment and time of
maturity to be agreed upon by the
PWA and the city council The in
terest rate is to be only four per-
cent. No part of the funds arising
from the sale of these bonds shall
be used for any other purposes
than those specified in the act
In order to avail itself of such an
unusual offer and to relieve the
local unemployment situation, the
Wrangell council selected three
projects for improvement and en-
largement,
Adequate Water Supply
First and foremost is the much
needed enlargement to our water
works system. Every industry that
is now located in our town or which
might locate here is absolutely de-
pendent upon an adequate water
supply. Our two salmon canneries,
two shrimp packing plants, cold
storage, laundry, and two crab can
neries, of necessity, use large guam
titles of water and should we have
dry summer and our water supply
fail as it has done before these

plants would lose thousands of dol
lars as would every merchant and
business house in the town.
The consulting engineer has ad-
yised us that the construction of an
additional dam located about a mile
back of the present dam will i'm
pound a sufficient supply of water
to practically quadruple our pres
ent supply. In order to insure ade-
quate funds to carry out this prof.
ect an authorization of 100000
was requested but it is estimated
that this figure will be considera-
bly, reduced at time of construction.
No money will be borrowed except
sufficient to complete each project.
Welfare of Town at Stake
cannot see how anyone inter
ested in the welfare of our town
could help but vote yes" on this
proposition. l have no hesitation in
saying that we must enlarge our
water system to supply our indus
tries and unless we avail ourselves
of this wonderful chance we will
possibly lose them as l doubt II we
could ever secure the funds from
any other source. Without our in
dustries Wrangell cannot exist.
The second project calls for an
expenditure of $4,000 90 to build
a retaining wall and make a per-
manent street out of Front street
The planking on this street is prac-
tically gone and we must improve
same in the very near future
The third project provides for an
expenditure of $6,0000O or less for
the construction, and enlargement
of our sewer system.
AS in the case of the first prof.
eet only what funds are absolutely
necessary will be expended on the
last two projects.
Hundreds of towns and cities
throughout the nation have availed
themselves of the generous offer
made by the federal government in
connection with these loans and 1
sincerely hope that the taxpayers
of Wrangell will show their appre-
iation of the governments gener-
osity by voting yes" ON all three
propositions.
If any taxpayer has any question
regarding this bond issue l will be
glad to answer same to the best of
my ability at any time.
Sincerely yours.

P0PPIES RECALL MEMORIES
TO WORLD WAR VETERANS

The memorial peoples which the
women of the American Legion
Auxiliary will distribute here on
Poppy Day." Saturday, May 20.
will recall vivid pictures to the
minds of World War veterans who
served overseas. The peoples bloom
ing amid the waste and destruction
of the battle front, and among the
bare graves of the dead, left an I'M
forgettable impression on the
American soldiers.
When the American divisions
drove forward in the great often
sives of 1918, they entered a region
torn, desolated and trampled by the
most tremendous battles of history.
Destruction and death were every
where but amid it all the little wild
peoples bloomed on. When machine
gun and shell fire took its toll from
the American ranks, the poppy was
natures floral offering on the
graves of the dead. Those poppfes
seemed to symbolic the brave
spirit of our fallen comrades and
Wnen they returned home they
made the poppy the memorial flower
of The American Legion"
Poppies to be worn in tribute to
the men who gave their lives for
America in the World War will be
offered on the streets throughout
the city Saturday, May 26, by the
American Legion Auxiliary women.
Men of the Legion are cooperating
In promotion of the project, The
peoples, paper replicas of the flow
ers that grew on the battle fields,
have been made by disabled veter-
ans.
All contributions received for the
poppies will be devoted to tho reha-
Utilization and welfare work of the
Legion and Auxiliary among the
disabled veterans and the dependent
families of veterans.

TY.CONNERCE
PARALYZED
BY STRIKES

The longshoremens strike of the
Pacific coast which went into effect
May 10. hits Alaska commerce with
especial force. All shipping is tied
up along the Pacific in all harbors.
The Noreo, of the Northland
Transportation Co., scheduled to
leave Seattle Monday night, was the
first boat to be compelled to cancel
its sailing, because of the strike.
The Victoria. of tn e Alaska
Steamship Co, was forced to cancel
its Tuesday sailing. The Victoria
had 95 tons of mail, capacity cargo
and passenger reservations.
The Wrangell Chamber of Com
merce received the following tele-
gram Tuesday from T. B. Wilson,
vice president and general manager
of the Alaska Steamship company
relative to the longshoremens strike
at Seattle
THE longshoremen's strike has
completely tied up the Seattle
waterfront and is paralyzing com

ties as a common carrier to the
Territory of Alaska and is willing to
load its ships if adequate and firm
police protection is afforded.
Attempts to load the Victoria
Monday afternoon were frustrated
when strikers and sympathizers
turned trucks away from the dock
with the police looking on. Seat
ties mayor and chief of police fin
ally admitted last night that they
could not give the protection need
ed for loading our ships and the
mayor SO advised the governor at
Olympia, appealing to him for fed
eral aid.
1.-THE governor so far is reticent
to act, feeling that the matter
should be arbitrated. So far as 1
know there are no specific points
for arbitration between employers
and longshoremen of the port of
Seattle, but it is more of a sympa-
thy strike in a coastwise movement.

chief needs and will then decide on
the program for the community.
INSIGulhdh las dllGttu1 SiS
stated Mr. Karnes, it's desire for
winter courses in mining and navi-
cation instruction for the benefit of
fishermen.
He is much interested in the fact
that Congress has passed a bill
whereby the Department of the In
terror can pay states and territories
for the education in public schools
of Indians. The government consid-
ers that anyone of quarter blood
or more may be classed as an Indian
and is entitled to all special privil-
eyes extended to Indians. This
will be of great benefit to
A a k a as the school records
show that 81 percent of the chill
dren in the schools are of Indian
blood. With the exception of Wran-
CELL the percentage is not high in
the incorporated towns, but as many
of the rural schools run as high as
so percent, it brings the average
of the total attendance in territorial
schools to 81 percent.
