DREDGING OF WRANGELL
 HARBOR WELL UNDER WAY

Dredging of Wrangell harbor is proceeding satisfactorily. according 10 the supervising engineers. Be- ween 1900 and 2O00 yards are be- ing dredged out each day by tha three shifts of workmen. Sa far the harbor floor is of silt and sand but boulders will probably be en- tountered soon.
 Al Jaren. in charge of operations for the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company, started the work by digging straight through the center of the area to be dredged and will work back and forth from this cut.
 One of the problems Mr. Jaren has had to meet is that the dredge tug Macray draws 12 feet of water while the dredging depth of the harbor is only 10 feet at low tide. provides some difficulty for a short time each day during the smaller low tide.

FORESTRY CREW CLEARING
 STIKINE RIV. WINTER TRAIL

j. NJ Wyckoff, forest ranger ot this district, came over Wednesday from his headquarters at Peters burg and made final arrangements for crew of four men with C. H. Close as supervisor, to leave that day for the mouth of the Stikine to start work cleaning out the winter trail which extends about fourteen miles from the mouth of river to the edge of ice.
 The last work done on the traiil was ten years ago and since that time it has grown up to brush and is almost impossible to travel. The only way to get through. declare the men who come down the traiil in the winter, is to follow the bear on all fours.
 The trail crew will be out about eight weeks. MT. Wyckoff was not sure when in Wrangell, whether another shelter cabin will be con structed on the trail It all de- bends, he stated, on how much the trail costs. He has approximately 1000 to spend on the project.

DeaSe Lake Boys Given School Opportunities

Willie and Howard Dease. husky 16 and 17-year-old Indian boys, were in Wrangell the first of the week on their way home to Dease lake from the Chooutta Mission School maintained at Carcross by the Church of England for the In dian children in adjacent areas of Canada.
 The boys were taken into Car cross four years ago by Harper Reed Indian agent the trip having been made by dogteam following the telegraph trail. A week was re- quired to make the trip. On their way out this week the boys had their first view of big steamers and salt water at Skagway. They had seen the Hazel B boats at Tele graph Creek and the little paddle wheel river steamers at Carcros. but nothing larger.
 The boys schooling up to the time they entered the mission had consisted of about six weeks one winter at Telegraph Creek. During their stay at Careross Howard com pleted the third and Willie the fourth grades.
 The school, which has a present enrolment of 42 boys and girls, is self-supporting to a degree. The Dease boys worked in the gardens, split and hauled wood and cared for the work horses and dairy cows, mainly. They attended school two hours each afternoon.
 The boys are delighted that they had the opportunity to get away from the vast wilderness in which they were born, to learn something of another way of life. At Atlin on their way to Carcross, they saw their first and only picture show, silent and in the school, had their first experience with running wa ter electric lights and furnace heat.
 However airplanes were no nov city, and they had a fund of will derness lore and experience beyond the ordinary boys. Howard, though only l3 when he left Dease lake. had as matter of course, brought down moose. He had also shot a mountain sheep and had been a full fledged trapper for some time.
 At Wrangell they enjoyed the sound pictures at the Coliseum, were interested and intelligent ob servers of the various phases of the salmon canning industry. But they did not seem adverse to going back l tO the CsssiaF.

Plentiful Humpie Runs Reported Point Baker

Fish are reported plentiful at Point Baker where around fifty hand trollers are working having followed the fish up from Care Pole. The hand trollers work close inshore where the power trollers are unable to come on account of the thick keip.
 Old time trollers at Point Baker say they have never known a time when humpies bit So freely as this year. While most of the humpies are taken with a trolling spoon the fish are caught with any kind of device offered.
 One hand troller Wednesday turned in 60 humpies and 245 pounds of echoes for his days catch, it being worth about sl5. The best catch reported so far by a hand troller brought s25 for the days work There is a good deal of grumbling by the fishermen who say that the humpies, which bring ' cents each. keep on the hooks so much. they cant set the echoes which sell for cents per pound.
 Quite a concentration of big seine boats is reported at Moves is- land taking advantage of the big runs in that vicinity. Last year the fish runs in outside waters were very poor. but this year the vest coast canneries are reported swamped with fish from Moves is land. which is also supplying Wran- gell, Ketchikah and other canneric> with a big share of their fish.

HanfOrd Starts Crab
 Cannery Temporarily

The crab eannery, recently as signed by V. L. Boardway to F. G. Hanford for the benefit of credit ors. started operations last Friday with a crew of nine under Frank Winston. superintendent.
 In order to hold the very valu- able long term lease of the plan, which was given by the Town of Wrangen. operations were resumed by Mr. Hanford temporarily until all the creditors have signed either to take stock in the company for their claims. or else waive payment until a fund has accumulated fo' that purpose
 It is proposed to set aside three per cent of the gross receipts into a creditors fund and it is believed that within three years all will have been paid in full.
 A letter sent last June to this effect by Mir. Hanford to each cred itor brought SO little result that tGis week a second letter was mall ed which read as follows.
 No progress Is being made tC- wards clearing up the indebtedness in the Boardway Company for the reason that a few of the larger To- ed creditors nave not expressed their intention one way or the oth- CT. and until such signification is made in writing that they are will ing and will agree to either of the two solutions proposed, or other as surance that they will not press their claims, nothing can be done to save creditors from a total loss.

INDIANS TO HAVE MORE
 HOSPITALS

WASHINTON. D. C.. Aug. 13.- pr. James c. Townsend, health di- rector for the bureau of Indian af- fairs. said yesterday that the bu- reau would recommend to the next congress a program calling for the construction of three new hospitals in Alaska primarily to check the spread of tuberculosis among ma tives. One of them, he said, would be constructed at Ketchikan.
 Half Million Needed
 pr. Townsend recently returned to the national capital from tour which took him through Alaska and as far north as Barrow.
 He said that al least half a million dollars is needed to pro- vide a start toward adequate hospi- talization facilities for Alaskan Es- kimos. This amount would enable the bureau to remodel existing na- tive hospitals.
 The new hospitals. Dr. Townsend said. would be constructed at ket- ,hikan, Seward and Bethel They would cost not less than $l15,ooG each.
 Barrow Hospital Transferred
 He also announced that the mis- sion board of the Presbyterian church had completed arrangements for the transfer of it's hospital at Barrow to the government. The transfer is made with the under standing that the present hospital is to be enlarged and operated here after by the bureau of Indian af- tairs.
 Dr. Townsend said that a remod- cling program designed to enlarge the hospital from eight to 16 beds would be started later in August He estimated that the cost would be S2o,000.
 Dr. Raymond w Maurer, for merly bureau of Indian affairs phy- siciah at Metlakatla, will be in cha ge of the hospital at Barrow Under him will be Miss Mary E. Speanburg, nurse transferred from St. Elizabetns hospital at Washing ton, D.

Salmon Industry Of
 Interest All Alaska

g,c.4,Iug luat every family l. Alaska has vital interest in the future of the Canned salmon Indus try in the Territory E. A Rasmus- sen, president of the Bank of Alas. ka. in d recent interview at Seattle. commended the steps the Industry is taking to protect the quality of it's product and to establish astable market based on increased consump- tion of canned salmon in the Unit ed States
 If the Canned salmon Industry furnished nothing more than the tax revenue it now pays into ths Territorial Treasury. it would still be of tremendous importance to the welfare of all Alaska, ." Rasmussen declared. Anyone interested in education in Alaska realizes that a. bout seyenty-five cents out of every dollar spent for this purpose in the incorporated towns comes from the Territorial Treasury. which derives about three-fourths of it's fund from taxes paid by the fishing industry. Thus the books. and so on. as we'll as salaries of teachers who educate children from the homes of mer- chants. miners, fishermen. profes- slonal men, bankers. or whatever the occupation the residents may be engaged in"
 Rasmussen pointed out that the real value of these tax revenues. spent throughout the Territory. will be realized if one considers the loss to Alaska if this money were not available
 There isn't home in Alaska not benefited or directly affected by the success of the fishing industry. because regardless of our individ- ual occupations we derive directly or indirectly the greatest share of our revenue from this source" Ras- mussen continued. Other indus tries are carrying a share of the load now but were it not for the tremendous amount paid 10 the Ter ritory by the fisheries, the Terri tory could not have developed as tt has. Local business could not have carried this heavy burden alone.
 A consideration of the value of this tax revenue to the welfare of Alaska residents demonstrates the great importance of the fisheries to- every family in Alaska When the canneries are successful, itI means profit for all the towns, forI everybody in the Territory"
