FAMILY NIGHTS FEATURED
 WEEKLY AT COLISEUM SHOW

Family Night has been inaugu- rated by J. R. Brown, manager of the Wrangell Coliseum, next week it has been scheduled for Thursday and Friday nights when the entire family from Grandmother to the baby may see the show for 75 cents.
 MT. Brown will distribute cards each week showing the programs for the following week. One of these cards and 75 cents will ad- init every member of the family. Where the family consists of but the husband and wife, the saving affected will be only five cents, but in large families, the plan will undoubtedly be received with en- thusiasm.
 In answer to an inquiry MT. Brown said, No; a young fellow and his girl are not a family yet! They will have to wait until they are MT. and Mrs. before they can save the five cents on Family Nights.

DimOnd Wants Govt. to Operate Mines, Mills

WASHINGTON, DC. - Delegate A. J. Dimond on February IA in- troduced in the house a bill of Senator James P. Pope of Idaho providing a hundred million dollars to make mining communities self supporting.
 The bill provides for government operation of mines and stamp mills and would give miners and others connected with the industry em- ployment.
 The miners would be paid the prevailing wage scale in each To- cality. Senator Pope and Delegate Dimond joined in declaring that they believed that the minerals produced in this manner would be almost if not entirely equal to the cost to the government. It also prac- ticaIly would solve the unemploy- ment problems of mining districts. Another advantage would be the accumulation of precious minerals in the hands of the government.
 Delegate Dimond said that the bill is of unusual significance to Alaska.

WORK RESUMED ON EZRA PROJECTS
 WITH RELIEF ROLLS CUT TO 50 MEN

reservoir is being constructed through a loan and grant agree ment, requires that preference be given to qualified men. first to war veterans with dependents, then to citizens and aliens who have de- clared their intention of becoming citizens, who are residents of this district, then to citizens and aliens who have declared their intention of becoming citizens, who are resi- dents of the Territory.
 The PWA loan was obtained after an election by Wrangell vot- CTS. Thirty percent of the money is a direct grant from the govern ment. and the remainder Is to be repaid over a term of thirty years.
 The Federal Emergency Relief administration funds are a grant from the government and are not to be repaid. The money is mainly paid out for labor on approved pub lie projects, but in case of need relief as to food, shelter, etc, may be given at once after careful in vestigation. No regulations, except need, govern such relief. Proofs of citizenship, war records or resi- dence are not required The board expects all on the relief rolls to spend the money received on neces- sities, and can remove those from the rolls who are not doing so.
 Incidentally, the EZRA board. which serves without pay, spend ing hour after hour in this service. is the target of much unjust criti- cism. most of which comes through confusion and lack of understand ing the objectives of the various government relief measures.

Churchill Witnesses
 Battle Between Whales

A battle between a huge sperm whale, and four or five killer whales about eighteen or twenty feet long, was a thrilling sight which it was the privilege of Dewey Churchill to witness last Saturday morning in the back channel of Wrangell island.
 Churchill was out in skiff with an outboard motor when he first sighted the whales three or four miles down the channel drifting with the tide. He was an excited spectator for almost four hours while the battle ragged in the chan nel between the former A.P.A. can nery site, and Dead Mans island.
 As nearly as he could determine, the killers were attacking the big whale from underneath for they would sink out of sight and mo- ment afterwards the whale would shoot out of the water in conVul- sive movements and roll over from side to side as though trying to free himself from some agonizing agent.
 His huge, square mouth opened wide during the times he was lunging about in the water, and Churchill said it looked like one could easily drive a car in the cav ern exposed. The scene was height ened by flocks of seagulls which dived into the water constantly as though picking up chunks of blub- Der which Churchill believed was the actual case.
 J. c. Smith, Vank sl a n d fox rancher, in the interest of fox feed, left Monday to search the beaches in an effort to get the whales body. in case it had drifted ashore.

 The five cases involving the gold clauses recently were ordered con- solidated by order of the supreme court. In two of the cases the is- sue concerns railroad bonds which bear a promise to pay interest in gold. In two other cases payment in gold or it's equivalent is asked upon Liberty bonds and gold eerti- ficates.
 The supreme court in effect swept away any government or pri- vate obligation to pay gold bonds in gold. Chief Justice Hughes, de- liVering the majority opinion, said that congress must be free to deal as it saw fit with matters which would affect the currency. and that the court must take into account

Visitors to PWA Work Must Get Pass of aden

Odin Jensen, managing foreman for A. B. Anderson on the PWA pro- ject of the city, last night had in- creased his crew to twelve men and had cleared three of the nine acres of the reservoir area.
 Jensen has started transporting lumber and equipment up to the dam site. All materials and sup plies are packed in for about 1000 feet from the highway up to the steep part of the trail where they are taken over by cable and don key.
 Frank P. Barnes, city engineer on the project, has completed surveying the dam site and reservoir area and has now started surveying the pipe line for the purpose of obtaining for the city the necessary informa- tion prior to application for funds for new line.
 Visitors Allowed
 A sign on the highway near the old Diamond K docks, points out the trail to the dam. ''Visitors are more than welcome on the -PWA project" states Boyd Yaden, PWA engineer, flor the administration wants the public to have full know ledge of how governmental money their money-is being expended. However, to protect the contractor. visitors are required to have a pass hn person who wishes to visit the pro- ject must first come to my office for pass" It is Yaden's intention to have the visitors observe the work in groups, as they can be better protected from possible injury by falling trees or whatever work is under way, if a man is assigned to look after a group rather than to permit one or two visitors to wan
