clubs adversely held were not all in one hand.
 If East held all -four, he could still make his contract, provided he planned his play carefully, while if West held them all, then there was no play in the entire club suit.
 North refused the free" heart finesse, because he needed two en- tries to his hand to bring in the club suit. He went up with the ace, and led low club from dummy.
 When West showed out, North's foresight was rewarded. He won with the queen and returned club. East was forced to split his equals. Now the ace and king of spades were cashed, and the heart king, saved for the purpose, gave North another entry. A second club flnesse was taken.
 All l3 tricks were won because North recognized the need of safe- guarding the club situation by pro- viding against the adverse distri- button that actually existed. Copyright 1887 NEA Service. Incl

With South's tremendous hand, and North's scattered but import ant honors, the final contract on today's hand is fairly obvious one. Fulfillment of that contract, after reaching it, did not seem nearly so easy as it seemed to bewhen the cards went down, and yet, any good bridge player, who applied to it the principles of play he had learned from books and experience, both splendid teachers, should solve the problem presented without the slightest difficulty.
 The principle of taking nothing for granted, not even the favorable break of 8 suit of nine cards i'll the

Strange Sights


 The Northern Lights have seen strange sights, we have been told, and one of the strangest propably took place on Channel Island a few days ago when Nick Tetomof fought a duel with a coyote and won. Ac- cording to Nick's story as told the Cordoya Times, he was going home with some newly caught fish 0ue night the first part of the month, when he noticed a gaunt slinky form following him. As it passed a patch of light he identified it as a coyote, worth dead exactly S2O. He didn't have a gun so he decided on a cru der method of extermination. Toss ing the animal one of the fish he let it get we'll started in it's final meal and then crept upon it and with his pocket knife stabbed it to death. Nick made a bad mistake in skinning it, however, and removed the left shank completely from the fur and the other day when he ap- piled for a bounty from Commission CT F. A. Jones, he was told he would have to get more of the animal for Identification. He's looking for the hide now. At least he hasn't come back to town yet.

Relief Dance

The Eagles relief dance at Keteh- ikan recently netted about $350 for distribution in Ketchikan to the needy in food, clothing, medical sup plies and other necessities. Many calls have been received from the needy, mostly for coal and food, for which most of the fund will be used Some of the money was turned over to the public school nurse, to supply medicine and food to undernourish- ed children, as well as bandages and other medical supplies.

 RAMPAGE OF OTHER SECTIONS

While floods rendered over a mil lion people homeless in the Ohio and Mississippi valley with attendant misery, privation and high property damage, and California was waglng a desperate fight to save it's citrus crops from the unprecedented cold which extended over southwestern United States. Wrangell had a calm, pleasant month of January much in contrast with the weather rampage of other sections.
 Temperatures ranged from AS down, the thermometers lowest re- gistration being 4 on January 4th and 5th. The mean maximum for the month was 36.7 and the moan minimum, 1721.
 Total precipitation for the month was 2.S2 inches, the greatest in 24 hours being 1.6 inches on January 24th.

 it was Lincoln who met the dang CTS which Washington had predict ed would assail the Union, and who saved it from them and made it ln- dissoluble. It was Washington who saw the inconsistency, the shame and the peril of slavery; it was Lin- coin who ended it. Washington was a soldier, who fought for the supre- macy of just and peaceful laws; Lincoln was a lawyer who invoked the sword to defend a supreme eq- uity.

PICTURES FROM POINT BARROW SHOW WOLVES EFFECT ON DEER

Graphic pictorial evidence of the heavy toll being taken of the rein deer in the Arctic by wolves was brought to Juneau by Warden Gre mold Collins of the Alaska Game Commission who has recently spent several months touring the frozen north behind an ight-tO-fourteen cylinder dog team.
 Collins brought back scores of pictures, some of which show the freshly-killed frozen reindeer lying on the snow, near the Kuk river, their tongues eaten but their bodies left almost untouched by the lobos.
 Other scenes show the native vil- lages at Wainright and elsewhere, residents of which were instructed by Collins in the fine art of wolf trapping.
 The natives along the Arctic coast are in good condition, the game warden declared. This may be aseribed in large part to the absence of liquor. However, alcohol has made it's appearance among the natives of Kotzebue with devastating effect, he reported.
 Travel in the far north is rather an expensive proposition While on the trail a man must reckon on SIC per day, not counting his personal expenses, according to Collins. He spent 16 days on the trail making his longest trek.

DOLOMI MINING PROPERTY
 MAY BE RE-OPENED SOON

The Dolomi mining property may be re-opened early this spring, it was announced by P. J. Gilmore who conferred about the property during his recent trip to the states, according to the Ketchikan Chroni- cle.
 During my stay in Seattle I mad an opportunity to meet Glenn Car rington of Darlington and Jones Company" said MT. Gilmore. MT. Darlington informed me that Colon el E. J. Ryan of Vancouver had ar ranged an option on the property with New York interests and that they are planning to reopen the property early in the spring.
 While in Vancouver L called on Colonel Ryan and he confirmed the option with the New York inter ests and stated that he was very hopeful that the property would be re-opened again shortly. He explain ed that he had been planning to write his attorneys in Ketchikan with reference to obtaining the views of all creditors to allow the company six months extension so as to make sure that nothing would develop that might complicate the plan now under way to reopen the property.
 Colonel Ryan also said that he would visit Seattle and confer with Darlington and Jones along these lines"

White, longtime resident, has ob- tained permission from Postmaster Albert Vile to contract with local merchants and residents for distri- button of mail and has about 50 establishments signed up. He is mak- ing small charge for the service. White plans two deliveries daily but will pay especial attention to boat mail and make extra deliveries at any hour the sacks may be sorted It is hoped by many Juneau resi- dents that the new service may ey- entually lead to establishment of regular acknowledgement city delivery there.

Spirit of Law

Harry Haloff. employee of ne City Float Beer parlor at Juneau was fined 25 dollars by A. W. Hen ming, city magistrate, for permitting a girl under IS years of age to en- ter the beer parlor. Haloff protested that he did not know that the girl was a minor. In leyying the line Henning stressed that the spirit of the law should be more fairly ob- served. The teehnicality of a year or so, one way or the other, is not the important thing, he pointed out, but the fact that young girls should not be allowed in beer parlors mere ly to attract greater trade, as has been too often the case.

LOUIS WIGG REPLIES TO
 PAUL'S A. N. B. ACCUSATIONS

Editor Sentinel:
 Will you please allow me space in your paper for few remarks in answer to Louis F. Paul's article in the Sentinel of January 29.
 Thanks to MT Paul for the important phases of the A. N. B. Convention at Metlakatla as inter preted by him in the Sentinel of January 29.
 The two motions Paul speaks of were never heard of on the conven- tion floor.
 The motion Wigg made reads like this T move to keep the Wheeler Howard Act out of the A. N. B."
 After the motion 1 said: Now fl you people want to form a corpor- ation or reorgantze, go ahead and do it, but please leave the A. N. B. out of 1t.
 Although Wrangell and other towns are organizing the A. N. B. will still go on stronger than ever.
 It is understood that Wrangell mas twenty-six who have already signed under the new organization of N. S. A. but they are not all members of the A. N. B, We still have enokgh members to hold meetings and there are more who see the right side and wish to join with us in our fight
 The Colonists of Matanuska Val ley were allowed s2.O0O. Where are they today? Some of them are $14.0O0 in debt.
 am now asking a fair question. Where would the A N. B. or any other organization be with the Wheeler Howard Act under the re organization plan.
 I've seen the time when the Pauls would shed tears pleading to the people to uphold the Alaska Native Brotherhood and gain what they are fighting for What are they do- ing now? They are trying to break it up. Those tears must have been Crocodile tears.
 All people know that when a gar den is full of weeds the plants are slow in growing, but remove those weeds and see how quickly those plants will spring up and bloom.
 It has come to the time when the A. N. B. will not take dictation from individuals.
 We are fighting as a body and for what We think is right.
 The trouble with most has beens is; when they start losing their punch they just can't take it.
 We young bucks get pie-eyed but do not beat around the bush about it. We also will take the blame for some of the white haired bucks who get pie-eyed
 Although we have had our slides and bumps we haven't gone so far as tearing up our A. N. B. cards as one of our former Executive Officers did.
 We did not join the A N. B. to be- "big shot". We joined it for what good there was in it and for what good they are trying to ac- complish. If we are going to quit the A. N. B. I am sure the most of Us would quit without poor excuses such as the Wheeler Howard Act.
 We are not against the Wheeler Howard Act But We are against hay ing it in the A. N. B.
 ON WITH THE A. N. B.

Worker Gets An 1. O. u, But Who, Finally Will
Pay it?

But, admitting mathematical and
financial dumbness. 1t looks to me as
if, to the present administration, this
social security system has been a
grand racket. They have taken in the
money. Thirty-five cents here and 35
cents there, they have taken in, dur
ing this one year. total of more than
half a billion dollars. And they've
spent it all. MY. how they've spent it.!
For those to whom it belongs there
isn't anything to show except some
I. o. US. AS for paying it back, to
my secretary and other secretaries, 10,
20 or 80 years from now-well, some
future administration can have that
headache.
What the Government is doing is
like a father telling his children he
will save part Of their wages for them.
So the children give the father some
of their wages every Saturday night
But the father does not save the
money for them; he spends it for
himself, and in place of it substitutes

repeat, I don't know much about
such matters. But one thing seems to
me fairly clear. If any private citizen
or insurance company did what the
Government is doing the private citi-
zen would go to jail, quickly and for a
long time. II you give a man money
under an agreement that the man is
to keep the money and pay it back to
you when you're 65; and If the man
spends that money. pays it out for
some personal expenditure OF his
own-if that happens. the man goes
to Jail. It's called breach Of trust and
it's crime. 1t isn't possible to send
a Government to Jail. Sometimes it

Things in sight may plainly be
THAI careless eyes will never see.
old Mother Nature.

EVER so many things are not seen
when all the time they not only
are not hidden but actually are in
plain sight 1t sometimes seems as if
the more plainly in sight they are the
less likely it is that they will be seen.
1t is all because so many eyes are
unframed in seeing, or because those
who see do not have the knowledge
to recognize what they see.
Farmer Browns Boy and his cousins,
Sue and Sammy. were gathered
around a little box which had been
placed on a fence post. They were
watching Busy Bee loading herself
with honey from bit Of comb in the
bottom of that box When she had
all she could carry she climbed out of
the box and took TO her wings.
"Whatch her closelyi' cried Farmer
Browns Boy Get the direction in
which she flies
Busy Bee didn't circle very high,
for there were no trees near, and 1t
didn't take long for her to be sure

She flew that way!" cried Sue,
pointing toward the Old orchard.
Her cousin nodded. She is from
