CarrutherS Returns
 From Inspection Trip

Brigadier W. J. Carruthers, Divis- ional Commander of the Salvation Army, returned to his headquarters in Wrangell on the Northland Sat urday after a three weeks trip dur ing which he visited Petersburg, Rake, Juneau and Douglas.
 He reports splendid meetings at Rake where some 100 visitors from Angoon and 50 from Hoonah were in attendance and represented the Salvation Army, Christian EndeavOr and Greek Orthodox church. During the week he was in Rake, Brig. Car ruthers did not see one drink taken or one drunk on the street or in the meetings. There is no liquor dispen- sary or beer parlor in Rake and the people praise themselves on being one of the driest villages in Alaska.
 Attends Dinner
 While in Juneau, Brig. Carruthers attended a dinner and program giv- en by the Salvation Army Home League to start their work for the season This dinner was attended by other clergy and members of the Office of Indian Affairs. Mr. Penney gave a talk on "Child Welfare" de- laring social security is good but conomic security is essential for he neglected child. If this condition is cleared up the problems of the neglected child are very much less ened.
 During his stay in Junau Brig Carruthers visited with the Cover nor and viewed the workings of the legislature He went over to Douglas and reports they are resurveying the township TO enable Douglas to be rebuilt along the lines of a fine modern town.
 Lieut.. Newton, assistant to Brig Carruthers, continued on from Ju- neau and is visiting Hoonah. Ten akee, Ango1n and probably Sitka.

For the past several years the peo- pie of Wrangell have discussed from time to time the need of a fireproof vault somewhere in the city in which the records and history of the city might be stored for safe keeping. After knowing the disastrous re- suits of the Douglas fire in which all their records were lost this need comes more closely to home than ever before.
 All the records and files of the city together with items of historical value are stored in the city hall and would probably be lost if the wood en structure took fire. The active records are filed in the office of the clerk and the records for previous years have to be stored in a vacant room in the building where it would be almost impossible to get them in case of a fire.

CARL LUND LOSES LIFE
 IN BLAZE AT CRAIG

Carl Lund, former Wrangell resi- dent, lost his life early Sunday morning at Craig when fire consum- ed two scows. Lund was living on the smaller of the two scows with a companion who escaped a posslDie similar fate. as he was still uptown when the fire broke out at o'clock in the morning M. F. Reichweim. owner of the scows and equIpmenr escaped uninjured from the second scow on which he lived.
 The loss of the scOws and equip. ment is valued at $6000. There is some speculation as to the cause of the conflagration. One is that Lund, returning 10 the scow after midnight attempted to start a fire with kero- sene and an explosion occurred His body, burned beyond recognition, was found near the stove in his quarters on the scow.

FANCY

HANFORD OBTAINS PASSAGE HARBOR. BILL THROUGH ALASKA LEGISLATURE.

imously passed MT. Walker then asked consent for Rules to be sus- pended and the bill advanced to the third reading and placed on tl- nal passage. There was no objection land the bill passed the Senate "lth Ia unanimous vote.
 On March Sth the House took tine bill up for consideration when it was read for the second time. It was moved by Mir. Davis and seconded by MT. Race that Rules be suspend ed that the second reading might be considered the third reading and the Bill placed upon final passage. Here again it passed with all 16 repres- entatives voting for it.
 F. c Hanford spent a great deal of time and effort to secure the presentation and enactment of this harbor bill. He arrived in Juneau with only a few hours left in which bills might be introduced in the legislature without a two thirds vote. Securing the help of Grover Vim and the aid of Senators Walk CT and Roden the bill was drawn up and taken to the Senate. During the debate over the bill MT. Hanford attended all sessions and presented the facts and arguments.
 While presenting the facts of tue bill to the Senators, Mir. Hanford discovered that Senator Powers was a Spanish American War veteran and had served with him in the Phillipine Division during the war. Many old time memories were lgaln brought to light when the two got together tG talk.
 The WrangelI Chamber of Com merce had endorsed several other bills and Mr Hanford worked on these while in the capital city. Among these was the Vocational Work Act which was defeated on account of probable lack of appro- priations for the present biennium A resolution was adopted. however, endorsing the work and the courses that were given in the different communities.

FIREPROOF VAULT NEEDED

The files of the Commissioner s Office are also stored in a wooden building and in danger of being lost in case of a fire.
 A fireproof safe large enough to store all past records of the city should be built as an addition to the present Federal building and Territorial money can be obtained for this project if we go after it. In the event of a major fire des- troying a large section of the town, all records would be intact and these would be of inestimable value in an instance of this kind.
 We have talked about this need for a long time-It is probable we can obtain Territorial funds to build a safe in the Federal building which will house some of the records Let's quit talking now and get some ACTIONl

As soon as sufficient supplies arrive more men will leave for Waterfall MT. Nussbaumer reports.
 Work was begun on the group 0f cannery buildings last fall. The men came into town about December 15, intending on returning in about a month but due to the maritime strike the shipment of supplies was held up and work was temporarily halted.
 The supply ship is reported due at Waterfall now about March 17th with lumber and building materials. Work will be rushed to complete the plant in time for operation for this fishing season. When finished, this canning plant will be one of the finest and most up to date in all All aska.

During the winter he went to Seattle and while there was oprated on and spent a number of weeks in the nos pital.
