OTTO KLOSE HAS EXCITING
 HUNTING TRIF EXPERIENCE

Otto KlOse, a well known former resident of Wrangell, and his bro ther Victor called in here last Tues day afternoon with three compan- ions on Victor Klose's seiner Orion enroute home to Ketchikan from a ten-day's hunting trip in this dis trict. While visiting Wrangell friends Otto told of an exciting ex- perience earlier in the week in which he nearly lost his life.
 Coming upon a creek in Kah Sheets Bay which he had crossed earlier in the morning, he found t had swollen considerably in his ab- sence.
 When he attempted to cross again the shifting bottom took his feet from under him and he was carried down the stream. Encountered by oilskins, shell vest full of shells, and a twenty gauge shotgun which he had recently purchased, Klose declares he submerged three times before he was swept ashore on the opposite side still clutching his gun. The incident, he said, could easily have ended in disaster since there was no help within miles. The sum of his injuries, however, was two badly bruised hands.
 The Klose brothers are both chefs who were trained in Europe. They officiate in the kitchen of the Blue Fox Cafe in Ketchikan during the winter months.
 The party returned home with bag limits of ducks and expressed the hope of getting few deer on the way.

Salvage Operations
 Raise Sunken Boat

The motorship Chacon raised from her grave last week where she ran afoul a reef in Zimovia Strait on October 14th. while on the West Coast mail run, was brought into Wrangell Sunday noon for repairs at the Anderson Boat Shop.
 Frank s. Barnes, in charge of the salvage operations, used a piledriver and scow to raise the sunken vessel. The barges were placed on each side of the submerged boat and the diver William A. Rice of Ketchikan, went down to fix two cable slings under the stern and one sling under the bow. Al low tide these slings were drawn tight. As the tide flooded the seow and piledriyer raised the Chacon enough so that the men were able to work her toward the beach. By repeating this operation ever two tides. the boat was walked close enough for the piledriver 10 pull her higher on to the beach with a cable rove through a block ashore. 4 soft patch was then placed over the six-by-eight-inch hole, the boat pumped out and lowed into Wrangell by the tug Edward Schenk and the Wrangell Packing Company tender Betty.
 An interesting incident occurred in the raising of the motorship when the Edward Schenk. which draws twelve feet of water. clipped off with her propeller the top of the after mast of the submerged wreck while jockeying the seows into pos ition preparatory to raising.
 Awful Mess"
 Ed J. Williams of Ketchikan, own CT of the Chacon, and others who saw the boat at the time it came from the water described it as an awful mess. Several hundred pounds of meat and other perishable freight items presenting a very un-. pleasant sight were taken from the hold. Most of the entire cargo was a total loss including several cabine. radios and a radio transmitter. The remainder of the cargo was taken from the boat at the Wrangell Pack ing Company dock where she was moored to be washed out in prepar- ation for the dry dock.
 Salvage Sale
 c. L. Weiss officiated at a sale authorized by the insurance com pany and held at the cannery where canned goods and other nonperish- able freight shipments sold at am azingly low prices. Milk sold for $2.50 per case: canned fruit, 15| cents per can; Wesson oil, $1.50I per gal; brooms 25c each; eatsup, 10 cents per bottle; mushrooms, 1 four cans for 25c and all else in about such proportion.
 Damages to the Chacon necessi- tate the replacement of several new blanks, new forefoot and slight repairs on the shoe and keel be- sides other small repairs always in- cident to the sinking of a vessel. The engine will be dismantled and the interior of the boat steam cleaned and painted before she resumes her run. The vessel is operated by Mir | Williams under U. S. Government mail contract from Ketchikan toI Wrangell, Port Alexander and points on the west coast of Prince of Wales island.

Howdy Folks This is the season when the towns young hopefuls hide your front gate and then want two-bits to return it, Ah, well, we were young ourselves once and should view any Halloween distur- bance calmly It wasn't so many years ago that some of the now staid and steady men of the town were lifting the work of Wrangell specialists from modest seclusiOn under back yard shrubbery to the bright lights of Front street boule- wards, as an innocent way of obser- wing Halloween.
 
 A bunch of oldtimers playing cards at Tom Dalgity's one night this week were razzing Fred Dahl for having taken soap when invited to a brides shower as duly reported in the Wringer. One friend criti- cised him for having had no more imagination than to take a cake of soap. Another friend criticised him because he had too much imagina- tion!
 While they were talking Lem Churchill asked, "Why do they give all these prospective brides showers ?' T suppose" said Cap-I tain Knyg Johansen, tits a hint at the storm to come" That may eX-| plain why Knyg has steered a course clear of matrimony. He knew he was an expert navigator on the high seas, but perhaps doubted his ability if domestic seas grew choppy with frequent squalls and what not.
 
 George Green and Roland Curtis had a grand duck hunt over on the flats They intended to stay out only tor Sunday but the place had such a hold on them they did not get in until about Monday noon. On their first hunt George saw a duck over head and gave it both barrels. To his delight he saw the bird fall to the ground.
 You wasted those shells, George" said Curt.
 George turned to him indignantly. Didn't I get the bird?"
 Sure you did, George, but the fall would have killed him, any way"

FIGHT
TUBERCULOSIS


 an American woman. Emily F. Bis sell. living in Wilmington. Della Ware, read an account of the Dan ish Christmas Seal in Che outlook and decided that fl this plan worked over there, it was worth trying in this country And SO. in the Christ la4a season ol 1907. Miss BisseIl launched the first seal sale. So sue eesstul was it and so enthusiastic was she. over the inherent worth of the Christmas Seal that she persua- ded the American Red Cross, with which she was closely associated. to try out nationwide seal sale in the fall of 1908. To the surprise of everyone interested, this seal sale. with very little organization. brought Tn $135,000.
 In 1910 the American Red Cross took the recently organized Nation al Tuberculosis Association into partnership for the conduct of the Christmas Seal sale For ten years that is, until 1920, this partnership existed and each year the seals were sold as Red Cross Christmas Seals under tine American Red Cross sub 5idy but with the National Tuber- eulOsis Association and it's affiliated state and local associations rear- ing the benefits from the sale. From Miss Bissell's original sale of $3,- 000 in Wilmington, interest grev in every part of the United States until in 1919, the last year the Red Cross was associated with the seal sale, nearly $3,90O,OO0 was raised.
 In 1920, the American Red Cross desiring to concentrate on it's own annual membership roll call, with drew from the partnership. Since then, the National Tuberculosis As sociation has been sole proprietor of the Christmas Seal in the United States and each year it authorizes the forty-eight states and thoue- ands of local committees to sell the seals and to carry on the fight against tuberculosis. Since 1920 the seals have regularly borne only the double-bafrCd cross emblem Of the international fight against tuber- culosis and the American Red Cross is no longer in any way associated with the Christmas Seal sale.
 More than forty foreign countries have adopted Einar HolboelPs idea and have used or are now using Christmas Seals as a means of sup port for their tuberculosis programs. In the United States practically all the work of the state and local tu- berculosis associations is supported by the annual sale of these seals. By mutual agreement between the National, state and local associa. ttons, 95 per cent of the gross pro- ceeds from the seal sale remain in the state where the seals are sold.
 Here in Wrangell the first Christ mas Seals were sold in 1884 by the Alaska Tuberculosis Association.
 As Christmas approaches and the annual sale of Christmas Seals by the Association working through To- cal committees is carried on, all are urged to join with the millions cf men, women and children through out the length and breadth of our country who are sharing their Christmas joy with others by help ing to fight tuberculosis.
