LAW REQUIRES REMEMBERING

LAW REQUIRES RENUMBERlNG
 Deputy Collector of Customs, L J. Chilberg has announced the re ceipt of instructions to immediately begin the renumbering of all un- documented boats in this vicinity in accordance with Section 210 of the Anti Smuggling Act" of Au- gust 3, 1885.
 The new law differs from tho old law of 1918 in the following principal respects: An entire new number is to be given each boat; the Certificate of Award given by the Collector must be on board each vessel at all times, and bill of sale must be filed in cases of change of ownership.
 This law became effective August 3, 1885, but in fairness to boat owners concerned, sufficient time in which to give it reasonable pub licity will be allowed before tmpos- ing penalties for failure to have the Certificates of Award on board such vessels or to produce the same when requested by a proper officer. On and after April 1, 1886, however, all violations of this Act will be entered as Navigation Cases and the usual procedure followed.

HOSPITAL STATEMENT
 OF INTEREST

By those interested in the success of a public institution from fi- nancial point of view, an annual statement of receipts and eXpendi- tures is welcomed, and for several years the Bishop Rowe General Hospital board has published such statement as soon after the firss of the year as possible. The one for 1886 appears in this issue.
 As usual each year, only the cash receipts are listed In addition to these are labor, carnsd fruits and jellies, linen supplies, blankets, furn- ishings and other comforts, given by individuals and organizations. Bishop Rowe sent from Seattle most of the materials needed for the new plumbing system and the cost ot these is not included in the present report as figures had not been r3- ceiyed here. His cash donation paid for labor, improvements on the hospital grounds and half the cosI of the new X-Ray. The hospital staff and board are very grateful for all gifts received.
 Six-Year Comparisons
 As a matter of comparison, over a period of six years, the receipts from patients have varied from $4,120.50 to the present high of $11,1O162 and other receipts, gifts and benefits, from $1,140.42 in 1884 to $4,342.12 in 1892. Operat- ing costs for each year have run from $7,69465 to $1O,684.68; bal ances in the treasury at the end of each year from the low of $24.52 to the high of $1,314.42, and debts facing the board for each new yea from the present low of $600.81 to to $3,5S2.43 in 1881.
 Window Stripping
 The present year has been a very busy one at the hospital and pay ments have been better. Many lm- provements have been made in ths building itself. The greatest need at present is for window stripping to stop drafts and to do away with the rattle which is so disturbing to patients The cost including in 
 stallation is less than $7O0 and II is hoped that a way may be found to get this improvement before next winter It can be paid for over a period of a year.
 While the balance in the bank is larger than usual this year, it will be readily seen that without Bishop Rowes assistance a deficit would have existed, the new X-Ray could not have been arranged for, and the hospital water supply would have been practically cut off, the old piping being in very pad condi- tion. Organizations that keep up the rooms they sponsor, individuals who help, patients who pay prompt ly or even a small amount at a time until the bill is taken care of, all make it possible for hospital to render to the community of which it is part the best possible service.

Town Team Victorious
 In Petersburg Games

The Wrangell Town Team returned Sunday from a very successful bas- ketbali trip to Petersburg, where two games were played. The first game was played Friday night with Petersburg Town Team as oppou- ents, and was of a fast tempo throughout the game.
 Wrangell took the lead right from the start with two field goals and maintained this small margin till the final whistle
 During the last quarter Wrangeli managed to obtain a twelve point lead but in the last few minutes of this quarter Petersburg opened up ferocious attack to cut this lead to a five-point margin, the game end ing 40-36 in Wrangell's favor.
 The second game, a slow and rather uninteresting affair, was played Saturday night, and in this game the Petersburg high school was the loser. Wrangell again took the lead at the start of the game and held it until the final whistle and the game ended 1922 for Wrangell.
 Here are the individual scores for

Mr.. Meredith is well under 80,

Italian. He soaks his hair in oil
every night to darken it.
After his newspaper experience
in Cleveland, he was, successfully,
a clerk in Macy's, the owner Of
a haberdashery store, and an ordi-
nary seaman. Finally. because
he was so poor in everything else,
he became an actor. He has been
on Broadway three years and has
been included in practically every
list of the 10 best performers Of
the year.
He keeps up with contemporary
literature and Thomas Wolfe is q
favorite. He used to drink a lot
and run around. But he forced
himself to lose the party habit
and subdue his thirst. Now he
limits himself to half-jigger of
brandy a night just before the
third act of "WinterSet." which
makes a terrific emotional de-
mand on him.

When the late Rudolph Valentino

tended by DR.. Dunham, an up
coming young physician. Natu-
rally, because Of the fame OF Val
entino, the doctor was well publ
cized in the newspapers, which he
knew would assist him in a bril-
liant career. When Valentino took
a turn for the worse the doctor
was in a frenzy because, although
he knew there was nothing that
could be done to save his life, still,
if anything should happen to him,
he felt that his career would be
ruined. When Valentino died the
doctor lost his mind, was COM
mitted to o sanitarium and died
eight weeks later-from the shock.

to take them too lightly. To be

: ASTAIRE AND S. A.
It is fact that when Fred AS
ttaire first went to Hollywood he
was coolly received because they
thought he lacked sex appeal. This
was not strictly a California
opinion. They thought the same
things on Broadway, that it was
the Astaire dancing alone which
accounted for his fame.
Since Fred Astaire clicked in pic
lures Hollywood has discovered his
greatest appeal is with the women
movie-goers. The girls go for him
in a big way.

from London to pay him a visit.
She talks amusingly about his sue
