ZapOra purchased BY
Owners OF Evelyn BERG

The ketchikan Transportation
Company, owner of the motorship
Evelyn Berg, this week purchased
the lap0ra with the assistance OF
some very wealthy and influential
men who have become interested in
Alaska transportation, according to
word received by C. c. Mundy,
Wrangell agent.
The group of men backing the
company want to have a majority of
the board of directors Alaskans and
would prefer to have control of the
stock in Alaska. A third boat will
be put on in the spring to care
for cannery trade and the increased
summer movements of cargoes gem
orally.
AT present a boat will sail from
Tacoma every Wednesday, Seattle
Thursdays, going as far north a.
juneau. Wrangell is a port of cali
both north and southbound. Mer-
chants are assured OF weekly
schedule and permanency of opera
ton.
The Zapora, which has accomodo-
tions for sixteen passengers, is in
dry dock being cleaned up and ov-
erhauled and will also be refriger-
ated SO she can carry frozen fish,
according to Mr.. Mundys informa-
ton. She will sail from Tacoma
October 16. The Evelyn Berg will
go in dry dock this trip south and
will also be refrigerated in time for
her scheduled sailing from Tacoma
on October %.
The name of the company will be
changed in the near future. Alaska
Pacific Transportation Company has
been suggested as a likely name.

as a silver tip" Since Walsh is an
old timer in the north, and is des-

NEW RATES MAKE POSSIBLE GREATER
USE OF ELECTRICITY BY CONSUMERS.

W. J. Mcintosh, manager for the
Pacific Northwest of the municipal
division of Fairbanks-Morse Com
pany, spent several days in Wran-
CELL during the past week.
Last spring Mr.. Mcintosh sold the
Town of Wrangell a new unit for
its city light plant and his visit at
this time was to report to the town
council, at its request, his recon-
mendations based on intensive study
by the Seattle offices of data sup
piled from city light plant records,
for new light rates.
The revised rate schedules for
Wrangell do not make any material
changes in the rate per kilowatt
hour in those cases where only a
small amount of current is being
used. Under the revised schedules
the income to the city will remain
about the same for the same total
output
There are two reasons in partic-
ular for the change. First, to pre-
vent discrimination between users
of the same classification, that is
residential commercial and power.
Secondly, to adopt a promotional
form of rate to encourage increased
use.
Under the old system there were
a large number of so-called special
rates to certain users. This resulted
in discrimination in that some were
paying less for current than were
others in cases where the amounts
used were about the same.
These special rates were in eff
feet when the city took over the
plant and up to now were never
changed. The revised schedules
treat all users in each classification
exactly the same. They are pat

termed after the rate schedules used
outside and on the result of mum
Der of years of operation and in
tensiye study. They are approved by
all rate regulatory bodies and in
several cases have been given le-
gal approval.
With increased use it will be pos
sible for the city to reduce rates.
In fact, If the system continues to
grow in the same proportion as it
has during the past summer the
city council feels it may be possible
to make some reductions during
1886.
The generating plant is now in
good condition with ample capacity
for some time to come but the dis
tribution system is inadequate, even
for the present load, and just as
soon as a surplus can be aecumu-
lated from the revenues, it will be
necessary to make a number of bet
terments.
The necessity for a new unit at
the light plant was apparent dur
ing the past season as the combined
peak load was 40 h. p. more than
the combined horsepower delivery
of the plants old units.
Few Wrangell residents have
seen the new city light plant The
council urges everyone to take a
few minutes one of these days and
look it over. The boys at the plant
state they will be very glad to
show visitors around and explain
the many changes that have been
made.
Just as soon as money is avail
able 1t is the intention of the coun-
ell to clean up and landscape the
grounds and make the property an
attractive addition to Wrangell

NEWS FROM
4LL OVER
THE WORLD
ASSEMBLED NATIONS VOICE
OPINIONS OF ITALIAN POLICY

GENEYA.-"France will do her
luty." That simple statement came
yesterday from Premier Pierre La
val, Frances delegate to the League
of atoms. No one realized more than
Laval that the sanctions voted by
the assembly yesterday will mean
either peace in Africa or disaster
to Europe. France will stand by
her obligations, declared Laval.
The words of Captain Anthony Ed
en- rang through the hall with stir
ring effect THE assembly must
take steps to halt this war" the
envoy said. I'm the name of his
majesty, I declare the absolute wish
OF the United Kingdom to take a
full share in this action. There is
no need for me to repeat the broad
lines of British policy toward this
unhappy dispute. This has already
been declared with all authority
before this assembly"
The most vigorous plea for halt
to policies of aggression was made
by General Negours of Haiti The
same red blood runs from a wound
ed man whether he be black or
white" said the general, and an
attack against a weak race cannot
be permitted. The period of colonial
wars is as much closed in Africa
as In America. Haiti fears we may
some day be the Ethiopia of some
nation"

SAN FRANCISCO WATERFRONT
STRIKE OVER; $500 RETURN

SAN FRANCISCO.-An encour-
aging factor of waterfront peace
today was the announcement of re-
sumption of service by the Pacific
Steamship Line. The announcement
came from freight traffic manager
Charles A. Perkes as all available
longshoremen worked at top speed
to clear the cargo and ship conges-
ton resulting from the long drawn
out dispute over so-called hot car
go. Another encouraging feature
which brought San Francisco's wa
terfront situation to practically
normal was the fact that $500
longshoremen reported to work 3S
ships which had been awaiting un-
loading. Twenty-six other ships
which arrived during the last "a
hours will be unloaded through
priority arrival, employers said. A
total of 100 gangs responded, al
though 200 gangs were called for,
operators said.

at Wrangell examined the samples,
but no one attempted to identity
the rock.
The rose color is not a stain,
Jackson declared, but is a mineral

country. The samples are arrest

The SpOrtsmen's Corner
By
THE OLD WARDEN

This heavy fog that is covering
the town today reminds me of some
thing I wanted to mention last
week but overlooked 1t. under
stand that two weeks ago on Sun
day there were a couple of young
boys over on the flats who were
trying to hunt during a heavy fog
and were taking frequent shots at
jack snipe, to the danger of other
hunters.
Now friends, please don't get me
wrong l think that the finest
thing that a father can do for his
son is to teach him how to handle
a gun, how to hunt and to learn to
love nature, and its deni2ens, to be
a sportsman and a gentleman.
l know that when my boy grows
up l want him to know these
things, But / am going to teach
him myself and not simply put
gun in his hands and turn him
loose to learn for himself at the
risk of other hunters and his own
hide. Many states prohibit boys
under sixteen years from carrying a
fun afield unless accompanied by
grown person and l think this a
very wise law.
Many a fine boy has found an I'M
timely grave because he did not
have the proper instruction and
company on his first hunting trips
Well, our so-called duck season is
rapidly drawing to a close and l
guess that the majority of the local
hunters are pretty we'll agreed that
it has proved a flop. There were
plenty of birds but with heavy fogs
and bad weather many found it i'm
possible to get to the shooting
grounds. The continuous season has
been responsible for driving the
birds off the flats and up into the
bays. A limit bag on the flats has
hardly been recorded since the first
day.
Speaking about bag limits, ETC..
notice in the Alaska Weekly
printed in Seattle, under date of
October that our friend, the
Sports Writer is still prating about
THE Continuous Slaughter of
Game in Alaska" and quoted a sec
ton of one of my recent articles. |
really feel greatly honored at this
notice but l am sorry that he did
not quote the last sentence, which
read, The legal limit in Washing
ton last year was twelve and the
possession limit the same"
Yes, dear Seattle writer, it would
be we'll for you to do a little mis-
sionary work in your own home
state before you start criticizing
Alaskans who are only asking the
right to shoot a few of the birds
that are MATCHED AND RAISED
IN ALASKA before they are
slaughtered in your private clubs!
Now, l do not know what there
was about that part of my little
article that did not appeal to that
gentleman. Perhaps he did not like
the idea of trying to reform the
Washington hunters because he was
living among them but preferred to
snipe at Alaskan sportsmen at 700
mile range and insult them by ac-
cusing them of continuous slaugh-
ter of game" Personally, l feel that
the sportsmen of Alaska have an
editorial apology coming from the
Alaska Weekly Let's see if we get
it.
By the way, do not forget to save
those Federal Duck Stamps of yours.
In years to come they will not only
be a valuable but interesting col
lection and you can show them to
your children and explain that by
purchasing them you helped bring
back the ducks.

Boisterous Shanghai
Censors Its Movies

SHANGHAI P).-Foreigners who
subscribe to popular impression that
Shanghai is port where anything
goes" probably have not heard about
the community's motion picture
censorship.
Famed for its boisterous night club
and cabaret life. Shanghai, neverthe-
less, guards jealousy the respecta-
bility Of its motion picture houses.
Every picture screened must first be
"disinfected" by passing through sew
eral boards of censorship, including
persons Of half dozen nationalities.
Six per cent Of the pictures ex-
hibited here are of United States
origin. AS soon as the films arrive in
China, after having passed American
censorship regulations, they are taken
to Marking for approval by the CEN
sors of the Chinese national govern
ment.
These censors have sharp eyes for
any scenes which might wound the
sensibilities of the Chinese. If a film
passes the test of the Chinese board
it must still be inspected by another
group of censors before it may be
shown in the Shanghai International
Settlement.
This board is composed of persons
of British, American, German, Japa-
nese. Italian and Chinese nationality
and all must be satisfied.
