Drive for Temperance
 Opened at Ketchikan

Declaring that Ketchikan liquor stores sold an estimated half million dollars worth of liquor in the last fiscal year. reports the Chronicle, Rev. Fred R. Isackson of the Metho- dist Episcopal church Sunday night opened Ketchikan's part of a na- tional Methodist temperance drive, aimed at local option.
 The Methodist Sunday evening service there was given over to a talk on prohibition, and the national aims of the church toward prohibit tion. Yesterday was dedicated to world temperance in all Methodist churches.
 Two years ago I opposed the city of Ketchikan opening a liquor store, said Mr. Isackson. Had Ketch- ikan done so it would have put all of us in the liquor business. Had we gone into that business we would have been listening to such twaddle, emanating from Washington, as;
 " Drink and you help balance the budget. Drink and you build better schools. Drink and you free more tax money for public roads. Drink for any reason you may have, to swell the public tax receipts
 Favors Referendum
 MT Isacksen said he recommended that his church name a committee to work for temperance there in con- Junction with similar committees from other churches, and fight for a local initiative and referendum vote on the issue, as provided by regulation TX of the Alaska terri torial liquor laws
 "The church is not primarily out for new liquor laws, however" he said. "Our aim is a changed people who enforce their own temperance (Continued on Page Fougl

DEPUTY MARSHALS STOP
 GAMBLING AT FAIRBANKS

Poker and blackjack playing in Fairbanks cigar stores is a thing of the past
 At the direction of U. S. Marshal J. A. Mcdonald, deputies recently called at every establishment where gambling was being carried on and warned proprietors that it must cease under penalty of arrest and prosecution.
 This action followed protests on the part of wives of men who were heavy losers and of business men. It is said some men had no money left for support of their families dur ing the winter, having squandered 1t all in gambling. Merchants also had cause for compliant. They grub staked men last winter and expected to be paid after the seasons work, only to find the money had gone across the green cloth.
 We have no desire to be strin. gent beyond reason" said Marshal Mcdonald, "but gambling tends to become more and more spirited and it is reported to have reached the point where play at times went on for several days continuously and where large sums changed hands. That is an unhealthy condition and we are going to have no more of it. Gambling of that sort attracts pro- fessionals and we do not want an element of that sort here"

 It is hoped that Wrangell will respond generously to this sale. Ninty-five cents of each dollar re- mains in the Territory fer the cam paign against tuberculosis tha; is being planned. Using the seals to convey holiday greetings or let ters and packages will help in a great crusade against a dread dis ease.

ROOSEVELT
 ELECTED BY
 BIG MAJORITY

Roosevelt is carrying everything but the quintuplets! was the way one radio commentator described the avalanche of ballots which early Tuesday evening marked the victory of the Democratic candidate. Latest returns indicate that President Roosevelt was reelected by a greater plurality than in the 1892 election, winning 523 of the 531 electoral votes. and capturing the popular vote in a ratio of about to }. Maine and Vermont, stauneh Re publican states always, were the only two states giving Governor Landon a lead.
 Not since 1920, when James Mon roe was reelected with only one dissenting vote in the electoral col Iege. has there been such a close approach to unanimity of electors. In the Senate the Democrats will hold 79 of the 96 seats. Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Norris, of Ne braska. Independent Republicans, appear to have escaped the land slide.
 Most amazing" is the comment of the Literary Digest, which up un- til the present campaign had been able, by means of straw ballot, to forecast the outcome of nationel elections with surprising accuracy. Literary Digest had predicted Gov ernor Landon would acrry 52 states and win the Presidency by 370 electoral votes. The publication now admits that its straw ballots could not have reached a representative cross section of the nation.
 A top-heayy Democratic Congress and Senate are indicated by the la test tabulations, Recruits to the Democratic ranks will give them 347 seats in the House, as against S8 Republicans. The Senate lineup will be about 79 Democrats to r Republicans.

Fox Farmer Tells Her
 Side of Big Gun Story

Miss Olive Mckay, who conducts a fox farm on Bushy island about thirty miles from Wrangell was a business visitor here the latter part of the week.
 Referring to a story in the Sen tinel of Oct. 23 wherein Hans Yaver had told how he and six othtr trol- lers had been driven at the point of a gun from a Shrubby island fox farm, when they landed there in an emergency, Miss McCay said she knew that she was the person to whom he referred and that he had the name of the island confused.
 Of this occurrence she stated that a young couple, MT. and Mrs. Nyal Cavanaugh, had tied up at her float, Mrs. Cavanaugh", sad Miss McCay, expressed her need for exercise, So I proposed we take a eXercist, so l proposed we take d little hike over the island. We took a gun apiece and started out. As we came out on the beach at a slough where I have a feed house, I found a trolling boat anchored in the slough and three rowboats and four or. five men on the beach.
 T went over and was looking the situation over when one of the men said in an offensive and belligerent manner, well, do you see anything or hear anything around or do you think you could hit anything if you did shoot?' I assured him could in no uncertain terms, and then asked him what was the idea of anchoring in the slough instead of out in the harbor where they were supposed to anchor. No one replied. You can read can't you?" I said, pointing to the posting signs.
 "Then one fellow said it was a case of emergency. Well that's all right, then, I said. Why didn't you say so in the first placer And We went on with our hike. That was all that was said, declares Miss Me Cay. A cradle is beside her house, she says and any troller is welcome to use it for the asking. No one has ever been refused the use of the beach to cut wood, get water or any aid required ashore. All she asks, is for the trollers to be gentle men enough to come to the house

TAT A N G ELL VI R I N G E R

The junior member of the A. R. B. left his two running mates with their mouths open and ten bucks shy apiece yesterday as a result of an argument that ended in a bet.
 The boys were bending the elbow as boys will when they began dis cussing the location of the Moore Hotel in Seattle. Jim maintained it was across the intersection from the New Washington and was willing to bet a flyer. He was so sure, he was willing to make it a ten. They would settle it at Fred's with the other member of the triumYirate who was Outside" a couple of years ago. Johnnie sided with Jim and was willing to back his conviction by taking a piece of the bet. In fact he was very sure and went for a ten. Intricate diagrams were drawn until finally the fact dawned upon the boys that they had been think ing of the Bowman Hotel all the time.
 You fellers need a trip outside every four or five years, says ARB pocketing the potatoes.
