ACTION IS NECESSARY TO SAVE ALASKA FROM BANKRUPTCY

'ago because shipowners rightly in sist on the privilege of hiring com petent men to handle their ships and guard the lives of their passen- gers and the |. s Mails?
 That the strike could be settled TOMORROW if the unions would consent 10 arbitration, the only JUST way to settle any strike.
 Having considered the above facts how long are you as red blooded American citizens going to stand for such conditions Are you going 10 stand by calmly and see our great territory that we have worked so hard to build up ruined by a strike?
 am not opposed to unions. good unions are excellent and nee essary but l am opposed to the ar rogant and Un-American attitude adopted by the l. L. A. headed by the Australian Radical who is not even an American citizen.
 Union leaders like Green and Ryan are a credit to our nation and I respect them and if they. instead of Bridges, were leading the Pacific Coast strike everything would have been settled long ago
 The shipowners have appealed to Alaskans in their fight and I con- sider their appeal just. We must in sist that this strike is settled with out delay in order to save Alaska from financial ruin.
 At Washington we have a Presi- dent with practically unlimited ex- ecutive power and l urge you strong ly to wire him tonight protesting against the prolonging of this strike and demanding Federal action to settle same The Wrangell Chamber of Commerce. The Nrangell Cold Storage Company. The Reliance Shrimp Company and the Bank of Alaska have already wired the President demanding action. Every business man in the Territory should do the same. A telegram fNight Letter. costs S2.31 and it is surely worth that to every Alas kan to have this strike settled at once.
 DO YOUR BIT, WIRE THE TODAY.

New Salmon Cannery
 Planned For Ellamar

Construction plans for the new Western Fisheries Company's sal mon cannery at Ellamar on Prince William Sound call for the erection of a cannery building and a ware house during the spring months, according to James W. Parks, head of the company.
 The new cannery replaces Park Eyak River Cannery which was burnt down a year ago. The Ella mar location was formerly a mining camp and many buildings, including a bunkhouse and several residences, which were part of the mining es- tablishment will be used in connec- ton with the cannery operation. These buildings have all been put in first class condition as part of the fall building program.
 During the past fall, the company built a dock and a new water main. This work required two months. It is expected that the spring building program, including the new can nery and warehouse, each A by 250 feet will require about three months A crew of twenty men, largely local residents, is being used on the job. These men will have a total of five months employment during the off season on this construction.
 The cannery will be either one or two lines, with a possibility that one line will be installed for the first season, and a second added la ter.
 It is planned to complete the construction work this spring, but this, as well as the operations dur ing the coming fishing season, de- bends largely upon the settlement of conditions now facing the indus try.
 Parks said that he planned to hire fishermen from among the na- tiyes of a neighboring settlement, as we'll as many other local fishermen

Local Bremen Send
 S1O To Stricken Town

The Wranger Fire Department recently sent ten dollars to Che fire department at Baudon. Oregon. in response to an appeal for help. following its fire disaster of last September.
 The appeal was accompanied by a picture taken where the fire de- partment made it's last stand, the fire department deserting the pump CT at the last hydrant on the water front but only after the bumper itself was in flames The firemen were forced to take to lifeboats and be ferried across the river, as the flames licked up the wooden Wharyes to the waters edge
 The letter from the Bandon Fire Department follows:
 You undoubtedly know that Ban don was completely wiped out by a forest fire on the night of Sep tember 26 1886. All of our busi- ness houses except one. and between 100 and 500 homes. together with our municipal electric light and power distribution system. school house and public buildings. were destroyed.
 Fortunately, however. our lumber mills and wood manufacturing plants were saved. which means that we still have our payrolls. We also have our dairy industry. eur farms. our commercial fishing. lr cranberry bogs. our recreatiogal advantages; in Tact every natural and commercial resource that prior To the fire supported a thriving town of some 1890 people.
 "The fire not only swept us clean of all our buildings anl serv- ice lines, but it left Us the bare ground covered with an indebsed- ness, which with city and school district combined amounts 10 some S360.000.
 "The Bandon Fire Department has for number Of years been self-sustaining and has purchased its own fire hall as well as buy ing new equipment Now Wa are left with a half-burned 800 gallon LaFrance bumper. no fire-nalI and very little hose and chemical.
 We consider our loss about S1O.- 20o which will take a long time to. replace. Of course we do not expect D have things as they were before the fire, but want some way to get a new bumper and some kind of building to keep our equipment in and a place for six men to sleep all of whom are now willing to serve without pay. At the present ime six of our men are sleeping in tent and our equipment is kept outside. With winter approaching this situation is becoming serious. . To secure some adequate housing for men and equipment We are mak-. ing an appeal to the different de- partments for help. All we ask is that you pass around the hat; any will surely be acceptable

OBy C. P. Ki tland) Dear Fellow Alaskaas,

Do you realize:
 That the ruinous maritime strike has now been throttling business on the entire Pacific coast, includ- ing Alaska for over two months?
 That according to reliable infor- nation ii has already cost the ma tion including Alaska over S350.- 00o0o0.00O2
 That one small poorly fitted eannery tender is the only Amer can boat to call at our ports and carry passengers between Alaska Ports in over two months?
 That the North Star. govern ment owned and operated boat was ORDERED by the strikers not to carry any Alaskan products to se- attle?
 That our salmon packers have not been allowed to move a case of salmon from the Seattle warehouses in two months and that both the cannerymen and the whole fishing industry are threatened with finan- cial disaster?
 That We are forced to buy Can adian meats and other products and pay heavy duty on them and tha1 this duty could be lifted in 24 hours if the Federal Government cared to interest itself in the matter?
 That Canadian boats have been the only means of leaving the Ter ritory for two months and that Al askans living to the westward have been forced to come by plane to Juneau during bad weather to se- cure passage on these boats?
 That our cold storage plant can not receive any more fish and that our shrimp and crab canneries may be forced to close because they can not ship their products or receive cannery supplies?
 That with the exception of hay ing one mediator on the coast who has now quit) the Federal Govern ment has done nothing to help set tie the strike?
 That the strike is no nearer set clement now than it was two monhs

TATR A N G ELL w R I N G E R

Good news. folks. There are 53 Fridays in the year 1887. Unim- portant in itself the fact assumes importance when you recall that means 53 issues of the Sentinel in the coming year which is still un- important until you do some more recalling and realize that means 53 Wrfnger columns. Do we hear ap- plause? Thank you. Your encour- agement wrings the heart of the Wringer writer, tough though it is and hardened by the scars of many years and he pledges renewed eff forts for your enlightenment as to the doings and misdoings of your friends and neighbors.
 The absence in Wrangell of rest rooms such as are found everywhere in the states is often matter of comment One day this week we oy- erheard a conversation of two wom- enon the subject. The younger one was laughing about an incident she knew about last summer. It seems
 
 house saw two girls, young Natives apparently in their early teens. come up the stairs and go in- to the bathroom. That seemed strange enough. But the girls stay ed and stayed. After they left it was found they had taken a bath and evidently used the toilet paper as long as it lasted for towels, all rolls of paper were stripped down to the cores and the floor was strewn with wet tissue. However the girls were not too greedy. They did not cart off their bath water but thoughtful ly left it behind in the tub.
 
 We folks who live in Wrangell love the town and think it the su- perior spot of the universe. How ever, strangers in our fair city are not always appreciative and when circumstances compel them to stay over few days they find it bit dull. It is said that last fall when nine or ten men enroute to Seattle were held here several days due tC an airplane mishap some of then grew restless. On the day they finally took off one was heard tc say that it was a good thing they were leaving; that if his pal had to stay much longer there would bC a military funeral. Another mar spoke up and said if his pal had tc stay much longer thered probabl! be a military wedding!
 
 It does beat all how some peoplu jump to conclusions.
