TROLLERS SEEK TO SOL VEPROBLEnS
 THROUGH COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION

The members of the Alaska Trol- lers Association, after years of ef- fort, have made an attempt to solve the problems confronting them in connection with the sale of their catch by organizing the Alaska Trollers Cooperative Marketing As sociation," stated Henry Roden, of Juneau, who as attorney for the Alaska Trollers Association, was a Wrangell visitor this week. This association is formed along the lines followed by the fruit growers of California and similar organizations in practically all of the States of the Union, it is claimed.
 "The new organization" he said, proposes to handle comparatively all the fish caught by it's members from the time they come out of the water until delivered for actual sale. If any profits are made from the transaction they go to the pro- ducers-the trollers, the men and women who have caught the fish The organization is a no-profit con cern.
 Under the arrangements made and subscribed to by several hund red trollers to date" he continued, each member agrees to sell his fish to the association and the lat ter in turn agrees to pool the fish of the same grade, kind and quality of it's members and to sell the same comparatively; each membe" to re- "eive the same price for the same kind and grade of fish
 ''The association, in it's turn, agrees to sell and dispose of the salmon caught by it's members at the best price obtainable on the markets of the world
 Two Contracts
 Two contracts have been entered into, one between individual trolers and the Cooperative Association, under which each troller signing the contract promises and under takes to market fish through the association. The form for this con tract has been circulated widely and the general public seems to be informed about it. Many seem to think that this is the agreement under which MT Sigmund Einstoss is to handle the c9t3h. This is mistake. Mr Einstoss has nothing to do with this part of the enter prise. This contract also provides that if a troller, after signing the agreement, attempts to break away from it, the association will try and compel him to carry out the pro visions of the agreement, and the

Beamer Travels 4OOO Niles to Revisit Alas.

Because he encountered the first sunshine at Wrangell since leaving Seattle on a tourist trip to Alaska five years ago, met such friendly response from Wrangell residents with whom he talked, and liked the place so we'll. P. c. Beamer of Hilo, Hawaii, came back to Wrangell last week to spend three weeks on side trips out from here which tour ists rarely have the opportunity to enjoy.
 He found practically every gas boat in use on the fishing grounds, on his arrival here, but was able to join forces with J. R. Brown, mana ger of the Coliseum Theatre, who had not taken time off for a fishing trip this year, and the two went to Lake Bay on F. T. Richfield's boat.
 They arrived at the old cannery site at low tide and waited below the falls of Barnes Lake until the tide rose to where it flowed over enter the lake and negotiate the rifles into the second lake. There Jim Clark, who is hunting eagles in that section, took them in his skiff into the third lake of the series.
 Mr. Beamer had confidently ex- pected to come back to town armed with loads of fish and with kodak pictures of himself proudly display ing great record catches of trout but instead he had to tell all in- quirers that he had travelled 4000 miles to spend four days catching four trout. He found, too late, that at this season trout abounds in the lakes but that they will not rise to flies or spinners. However, he was far from considering his trip a fail ure or a disappointment. The mar vicious scenery at Lake Bay more

CALIFORNIA NEWSPAPERMAN
 ENJOYS SEE. ALASKA TOUR

w. E. Wagener, publisher of the Fillmore Herald, Fillmore, Califor- mia, was round trip passenger for the southeastern Alaska tour on the steamer Alaska which was in port southbound yesterday afternoon.
 He stated that the trip was far beyond his expectations. There was more of everything than he had anticipated, lovelier scenery, a jol- Her crowd aboard the boat, friend Her Alaskans in the ports visited and a general all round better time, Also, more, far more, salmon cannery stops than he had expected.
 He felt that he could have done with canneries after seeing two or three in operation, but the visits to canneries with freight shipments north and to take on the canned pack southbound, afforded more time to get acquainted with passen- gers, to see a number of places off the regular routes of travel, and to eat more of the excellent meals for which the Alaska Line is famed.

Diverse Opinions Held
 On Cooperative ASS n.

Some of the Wrangell business men seem to regret that such large percentage of trollers have signed a cooperative agree ment with an outside buyer which will leave the Wrangell buyers with little or no support, but none wish to express themselves public ly, so far as the Sentinel can find.
 Many of them think the action is extremely unfair and they fear that the fishermen will in the end be playing a bunco game with themselves as the victims The pro- position does not seem sound to them, but they consider it the fish erman's privilege to determine his course of action, and the business men generally are not endeavoring to exert any influence over the fishermen but whatever action is taken, they sincerely hope it will be for the best for the fishermen
 The fishermen are very bitter over an editorial which appeared Wednesday in t e Ketchikan Chronicle, and the leaders of the Alaska T r O CTS Association in Wrangell state that it is mislead- ing and insincere and represents the viewpoint of a selfish, and un- informed group.
 The greater part of the Wrangell trollers are not in town at this time, but a number of those who are here have expressed their re- gret that local buyers who have afforded them an outlet for their catches, have stood by them in thick and thin, and for a long time it has been all thin and no thick, should now be caught in a chain of circumstances which may cause them to lose their business.
 Other trollers seem to think they have been unfairly treated by local buyers and are not greatly con cerned over their fate.
 But the average troller like the average businessman does not care to be quoted publicly. The Sentinel has respected the wishes of all and has set down without using names the sentiment of the town as near ly as could be ascertained yester- day and today.

MahOney Says Liquor
 Situation Will Improve

w. J. Mahoney, United States marshal for the First Division of Alaska, was a Wrangell visitor for several hours Wednesday afternoon.
 In MT. Mahoney's opinion there has been marked decrease in crime since the repeal of the 18th amend ment and a marked increase in drunkenness. He deplores the drink ing wave which has engulfed so great part of the young people but believes that it is due to their not having learned to drink in beer parlors.
 He stated that conditions were no worse in Wrangell than Ketchi- kan, Juneau or any other Alaskan town, but feels that people are be- coming so aroused at the abuses of drinking that the beer parlors will find themselves out of business after the next legislature unless they take action at once to correct the abuses which exist in some of them because of lack of proper regulations.
 MT. Mahoney believes that the Alaska Liquor Control Board has been unjustly criticised, that under the legislative act creating the board, it cannot pass effective regu- latory measures.
 A present day turn to the oldtime drinking, says Mr. Mahoney, is that instead of Father, dear Father, Come Home With Me Now" the plea today is, "Officer save my child" many of the parents seem ing to think they have no authori- ty over their children and that it is the responsibility of officers, rather than parents, to see that youngsters are routed out of beer parlors and not allowed to get un- duly intoxicated.
 He looks with confidence to an adjustment of viewpoint toward drinking both on the part of the public and the liquor vendors, and bad as the situation now is, he be- lieves that improvement will be noticeable within a short time.
