Craig School House Is
 Complete LOSSBy Fire

CRAIG. Alaska, Jan. 22 Especial to the SentineI) I)-New school build ing constructed last summer total loss by fire at S:3O this morning which evidently started from an overloaded stove.
 The fire started between the walls and spread with extreme rapidity over the celotex covered ceiling and walls through the en- tire building.
 No water was available as the main pipe lines are frozen. The water at the city reservoir has been frozen since December 22, and the Libby cannery line is not running into town due to lack of pressure.
 Nothing was saved from the burning building, as the dense smoke from the celotex and oiled floors made it impossible to get out a single text book or school desk, and the people stood helplessly by and watched as the building burned to the ground.
 The old school building situated immediately in front of the new building was also total loss.
 There were no children in the building when it caught on fire and no one was injured.

BARLOW ELECTED DELEGATE
 OF WRANGELL UNIT. A.T.A.

Andy Barlow was elected port delegate of Wrangell Unit, Alaska Trollers' association, at a meeting Tuesday night. MT. Barlow sue ceeds Sam Roman who has been delegate since the Wrangell unit was organized two years ago.
 It is the hope of the fishermen in the local organization to have all issues concerning trolling set tied before the salmon runs start.
 After the men are on the grounds is a poor time to settle questions, in MT. Barlow's opinion. He advocates less fishing around the stove" and more action and de- cision, and more get-together meet ings while the fishermen are all in town.

BELL MAY
 RESTRICT
 FISHERIES

The following letter to Delegate Dimond from Frank T. Bell, com missioner of fisheries, has recently been made public:
 Washington, Dec. 21. 1894. Subject Alaska Fisheries. Honorable A. J. Dimond. House of Representatives
 Washington, DC.
 Dear Mir Dimond:
 Tt has occurred to me that you would be interested in a certain phase of the Alaska fisheries sit uation that has been in my mind recently.
 The records show that although there was a reasonably good es- exponent of pink salmon in the waters of Southeastern Alaska in the season of 1883, there was quite drought for that part of the world with the result that after the salmon had spawned many of the eggs were destroyed because of unusually low water conditions. The eggs were exposed to the air and naturally were killed.
 If this has not come to your attention heretofore, feel that you should know about 1t so that, if in the season of 1885 the run Of pink salmon resulting from the spawning of 1888 should be mater ially reduced you would under stand why it may be necessary to apply restrictive legislation curtail- ing commercial fishing operations accordingly. I would not be fulfil ling my duty if I did not take nee Joint Resolution No which was escapement of salmon to maintain the runs.
 T have thought it timely that l should give you this foreword of what may develop in the coming season should the runs be harmed as a result of the destruction of large numbers of eggs on the spawning grounds in 1883 because of the extraordinary low water in quite a number of such places.
 T am also writing a letter of like tenor to Governor Troy so that he may be aware of what may pos sibly develop during the course of the pink salmon fishing season in Southeastern Alaska in 1885"
 Very truly yours,
 FRANK T. BELL,
 Commissioner,

WrangeIl Meets Water Shortage Emergency

A light fall of snow greeted Wrangell this morning on the ninth day of the towns being cut off from the city water supply
 Instead of hauling water only for the hospital and city hall, as was the first intention of some of the city officials last week, it was decided to utilize city trucks to bring in water for everyone. Twice a day the trucks cover the town, leaving a pail of water for each household. The tierces are filled mainly from the stream of water between the homes of John and Carl Arola.
 Added supplies of water are brought in by private transfer com panieS. A tierce of water costs $1.50, but enterprising small boys strap containers to their sleds and deliver a boiler full of water for ten cents. Owners of cars go out the highway and bring in water from the larger streams.
 School in Session
 Wrangell Public School resumed sessions Wednesday morning after conferences by the school board and Supt. Rasmussen with H. Vel Ions, manager of the city light plant.
 School hours during the water shortage have been set from 10 am. to 1 p. m. and from D. m. to 4:9O pm. So far as the school is con cerned the light consumption is lifted from the first hour in the morning to the last hour of the af- ternoon, but MT. Wellons says there is a lighter load in the morn ing from homes by these hours and the small engine at the plant is able to carry it; otherwise, the larger engine with it's larger wa ter consumption would be needed.
 No Heating Difficulty
 The water for the oil burner furnace at the school house Is in closed circuits and there is no heat ing difficulty. Drinking water is provided by tierees In the halls, from which covered buckets are taken to each of the rooms where it is dispensed to the children with individual cups. The wash rooms are supplied by tierces of water hauled in by city trucks.
 Superintendent Rasmussen stated today that he regretted the incon venience of the noon recess hour, but that it would remain as it is now, unless mothers objected too and so far there have been no complaints registered.
 The school program is conducted on 45-minute periods. It cannot he broken or changed without mrch aonfusion Either the school hours must be from 10 to 1915 or 10 tG 1 o'clock.

 Bank Holiday
 House Bill No. 2, also brought in by Green, would repeal the bank stabilization act passed at the 1883 session.
 The bank holiday provis i o Il which the Green measure would re- peal provides "the Territorial Banking Board, when in it's opin- ion an emergency exists, is author ized to declare a bank holiday of not to exceed five days, during which period the banks of the Ter ritory may, in their discretion, re- main closed"
 House Bill No 3, brought in by A. G. Nordale of Fairbanks, would establish the eight-hour day and the six-day week in industry.

LEGISLATURE CONSIDERS MEASURES
 DESIGNED TO WORRY TRAP OWNERS

, Green. a transportation measure, would ask Congress to include Al aska in the transportation act. The present law provides that no mer- chandise will be transported by water, or land and water, between points in the United States in any vessel other than a vessel built in and documented under the laws of the United States. A clause specifi- cally excludes Alaska, and it is this the memorial would change to in- clude the Territory.
 Change in Indigent Bill
 Andrew Nerland of Fairbanks brought in House Bill No. T. The bill would change the present pro visions of those getting support from the indigent fund to an es- tablished residence in the Territory of 20 years. The prevailing law provides only for men over 65 and women over SO who were residents of the Territory prior to 1906.
 The Ways and Means Committee brought in a second deficiency bill HE. No. 8. The measure asks $550 for expenses in the office of the Commissioner of Education, $1100 for defraying expenses of transporting pupils and S8200 as tuitions to incorporated towns from those outside.
 Wants Traps Eliminated
 Representative Charles Murray of Cordoya brought in a memorial providing for the elimination of all standing and floating traps. He contends in this proposed legisla- tion that under present conditions local residents are discriminated against In that they are deprived in large part of a livelihood through fishing and selling to the canneries.
 Fishing, he alleges, is controlled by outside interests and workers imported, with the returns from the industry going to outside op- orators rather than staying in the Territory.
 Transfer Fish Control
 Representative Joe Baronovich of Ketchikan introduced House Joint Resolution No. l which requests the transfer of fish control in Al aska from the United States Bureau of Fisheries to the Territorial Leg islature
 Urging that Congress give con- sideration to the Townsend Old Age Pension, provid ing $200 monthly for those over 50, Is House essarY steps to provide sufficient introduced by Joe Green. troduced by Joe Green,
 Two Senate Bills
 Senator John B. Powers of Eagle introduced the first proposed legis- lation In the Senate with two bills. The first provides that def milton be made of deliquency of minors and sets the penalty on con. viction of the felony as at present, one to two years in the penitenti- ary and not less than fine of $100 or both.
 Change in the Primary election date from the last Tuesday in April to the last Tuesday in March, is asked in the other proposal.

 January 25, 1885 Hon. Charles P Kirtland, Mayor; Councilmen, Town of Wrangell, Wrangell, Alaska.
 (An open letter)
 Gentlemen:
 This letter is prompted by the necessity of placing the Signal Corps Radio Station, Wrangell Alaska, on a basis of thorough un- derstanding with the people of Wrangell.
 Recently the personnel of this station have been subject to very severe and undue criticism for closing at six o'clock pm. Wran- gell time Which closing time is the result of the desire of the people of Wrangell, expressed through the Chamber of Commerce, to eliminate possible interference to the recep- tion of broadcast
 In order to close at six o'clock, and cease operation at this time, 1t is necessary to have our last sched- uie to the outside between five thirty and five forty-five in order to complete what communications are on hand and be silent at six p.m. It was therefore requested that patrons file their messages for transmission prior to five-thirty to be absolutely sure of their being sent that night.
 While the majority have cooper ated splendidly there are a few who, even though knowing of the above request have been late in fil- ing their messages due to their own negligence, and then they harshly criticise this station for in- efficiency, which is unjust, when we desire sincerely to cooperate with the majority, when that coop eration is not in conflict with the well defined and established rules and regulations for the operation of this station, which are placed in force by the Officer in Charge of the System.
 Fhe hours this station is open for the handling of messages makes no difference whatever to the sta tion's personnel, whether we stay open two or four hours longer or close earlier, whichever is desired However, whichever hours are de- However, which ever hours are de- cided upon will have to remain in force at least thirty days, and any changes will have to reach this of flee on the twenty-fifth of the month the change Is desired.
 This station is operated for the convenience of the people of this community, and is in reality their station, and will be operated in ac- cordance with their desires in SC far as possible, and non-conflictina with the established rules and , regulations of the System. It is therefore, requested that such de sires be expressed in writing by yourselves as an answer to this
