Wrangell Pounded 100 Years Ago
 Had Its Beginning In Colorful Era

and the more important members of his family moved inside the stockade. Much of this land is to- day marked on the map of the townsite of Wrange1l as Indian Possessions and is held by descend ants of the original Indian set tiers.
 New Stockade
 After the transfer of Alaska was completed the United States sent a detachment of soldiers to Fort Wrangell. Farther up the shore northerly from the Russian fort they built new stockade and two of the log structures are still standing. They are in good condi- ton and in constant use.
 The building in which the offi- cers were housed has been in use by the deputy United States Gus toms Collector at Wrangell for many years. The log exterior was long ago covered by shiplap paint ed white and the fireplaces, one of which was built in each of the rooms on both floors, were boarded up.
 The one-story log building near by, built for a court room where all infractions of law and order were tried under court martial pre- sided over by the commanding of ficer of the fort, is still in use as a courtroom whenever a jury trial or a hearing before the United States commissioner brings in so many people that his office space IS too small for all to be accOmmo- dated.
 When Merlin Elmer Palmer Post No. 6 was organized at Wrangell, the log court house was secured for use by the Legion for it's meetings.
 New Addition
 Four~years ago the Legion Aux Hilary which had been accommodating a building fund by the time worn ways of women-"here a little and there a little"-by food sales, hope chests and what not, decided to GOdAOOu luS 1uSd Ol 6Cpdl ate building and secured permission to build an addition to the old log court house. The original logs were left intact, much-needed repairs were made to the building and an extension to the main room built. The building opens into the Feder- al Reserve grounds so that the rear of the building is toward the bay. The Legion and Auxiliary now have available a pleasant place for both social and business meetings. Be- sides occasional use as a courtroom the building is also used frequently n wide range of community ac- tivities.
 At the present time Wrangell has

 Proud of School
 Wrangell Is justly proud of its school. The building is new and modern in construction and equip ment. The high school is accredited and during the past year was ad- mitted to membership in the North west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools.
 The Bishop Rowe General Hospi tai is an up-to-date hospital with very efficient staff.
 The local Legion Post and Aux Hilary are active in all community affairs and boasts a very good membership for the size of the town.

 Wrangell. founded one hundred years ago, is the second oldest town in southeastern Alaska. Its beginning was laid in a particular ly colorful era when eager and ruthless competition existed for a monopoly of the fur trade.
 Baron Ferdinand von Wrangell, Chief Director, or Governor. of the Russian American Company, which under charter from the Emperor of Russia had autocratic control of Alaska. was informed early in 1884 that the Hudson's< Bay Company was fitting out the vessel Dryad with eolonists, cattle and arms to establish a fort at the mouth of the Stikine river.
 In order to forestall the company from acquiring any part of the val uable fur trade which found it's outlet through the Stikine, Cover nor Wrangell sent Lieutenant Di- onysius Zaremba in an armed brig with a schooner into the Stikine district
 Zaremba selected a harbor on the northern end of an island com manding the mouth of the Stikine in which to bring his ships to an- chor while at this strategic point he built a fort which was named Fort Dionysius. When the English arrived they were not allowed to land and were obliged to return on the Dryad to Fort Vancouver on the Columbia river where they had fitted out. The Hudson's Bay off cials were very indignant and the English government through it's agents demanded satisfaction for an alleged infraction of the treaty of 1925.
 SEE. Alaska Leased
 For three years the Russian flag floated above Fort Dionysius, later named Fort Wrangell, then it passed into the hands of the Eng fish when the dispute between the Hudson's Bay Company and the Russian American Company was compromised. The strip of mainland from the southern boundary of Alaska to Cape Spencer was leased for ten years to the Hudson's Bay Company, who were to pay an an nual rental of furs and furnish certain amount of provisions.
 The lease was twice renewed for shorter periods than the first. The forts at Wrangell and Sitka during this time flew the flag of the Hud- sons Bay Company and the h. dians came under English domina- tion. The Stikine tribe of the Thlin- get Indians had from time imme morial used the tract of land which is now Wrangell as a stopping place on trips between their village at Old Town, about twenty miles down the island, and the Stikine river where each family had it's particular hunting. trapping and fishing grounds.
 Indians Given Gate Key
 With the building of the fort many of the Indians began settling outside it's walls. The Russians were again in occupancy of the fort when Alaska was bought in 1867 by the United States. Up to the time of the purchase it was the GUS tom to unlock the gates and per init the Indians to enter the stock ade to trade only on certain days, but when the Russians retired from the fort, the key to the gates was given to a chief of that time and he

written for Universal Service
It has been demonstrated the
Army Il not adequately equipped
or trained to carry the mails.
The fatalities during the time
the Army Air Corps has operated
the service have shown this fact.
The reason is given that the
planes are not properly equipped
for the type Of service they are
called upon to perform in carry
ing the mails.
Calls for Training
It is said the pilots are not
properly trained. They are not
trained, it is said, to do radio
beam, flying. They have not had
adequate training, it is declared,
In night flying.
A. a further reason, it is de-
clared that there has been faulty
construction in the airplanes.
If the pilots are not trained to
do such work as carry the mails,
what could the Army do in carry
ing bombs in war time?
Wants Equipment
# there was "legalized murder
connected with the Army'S mail
operation, as stated on the floor
Of the House, it can be charged
10 prior failure to see that the
Army Air Corps was properly
equipped, the planes properly con
s:ructed and the pilots properly
trained.
We must do two things. First
we must clear up the air mail
situation. Then we must take
steps to see that in the future the
Army pilots are properly trained
and the planes properly con-
Structed.

THE VANISHING BUNDLE BEES

Most of us were not aware that the humble bee
had any other mission in life besides bumbhng and
gathering sweets from flowers. 1t turns out that
it is needed on American farms and that since Its
numbers are decreasing the red clover fields OF
the Middlewest are suffering for lack of pollen
zation of clover blossoms. ...
So serious is the vanishing of the humble bee
that an Ohio apiary has imported queen bees from
Russia to breed new species in the United States
to do work of the humble bee. We are told that
the honey bees do not have tongues long enough
to reach down into the blossoms of red clover and
therefore are unable to pollenize the plants. The
long tongue of the humble bee has made it the
chief polenizer of red clover. ...... BE-
Those who have watched the humble bee in its
visits to flower gardens know that it alone of al
the bee families is able to open the jaws of the
snapdragon and extract its sweets. The grea,
strength and Tongue tongue of this bee enable il
to reach the sugar content of the clover blossom
the snapdragon, the aquilegia and other plants
that store their nectar beyond the reach of smaller
bees and most insects. Only the humming bird
and the humming moth are so we'll equipped with
long tongues as the humble bee.
So it seems that the humble bee has made NIL
lions of dollars for American farmers by opening
the clover blooms and, in the process of collecting
their sweets, scattering clover poer If the Rus
sian bees fall down. on the job the only salvation
for red clover growers seems to be the formation
of a society for the preservation of humble bees
