Santa Claus Arrives
 On Related Alas. Trip

Of course, there's a Santa Claus and if you think that's a peculiar remark for this time of the year, you're mistaken. Because Santa Claus-in spirit, at least-visited this city Tuesday aboard the S. 5. Alaska.
 Aboard the Alaska line steamer were gifts of candy for the boys and girls of Alaska-candy which usual ly would have been distributed by Santa when he came in December on the special Christmas cruise. But this year the strike kept Santa Claus and his gifts down in Seattle, and disappointed many a youngster.
 To lessen that disappointment somewhat the Alaska Steamship Company has arranged for the candy to be distributed throughout Alaska to boys and girls twelve years of age or younger.
 Four years, ago, the Alaska Line inaugurated it's Christmas Cruise, which met with such enthusiastic response that it was decided to make it yearly custom. With Christmas decorations, a gift laden tree, and a real" Santa Claus, the Christmas Ship has become a big event in the holiday season for Alaska children. This year, due to the unavoidable delays, the Alaska Line agents in the various ports are "pinch-hit- ting for Santa.
 The delayed gifts of candy were sent this week by Agent Leo Me Cormack to Wrangell Institute and Wrangell Public School for distribu- tion where they were eagerly well comed today by the boys and girls.

  SAM TURNPIKE INSTITUTED

The Colst Guard cutter Alert came up from it's Ketehikan base Wednesday in response to a request by U. s. Commissioner Suratt to search for Sam Turner, long over due at Wrangell.
 Turner has not been heard from since he left here in November with two months provisions on his gas boat Kerplunk. He had no certain destination but intended to cruise about on a hunting and trapping trip. Pete Turner, who has been ap- prehensive about his brothers safe ty reported to Judge Suratt Tues day and then left for Wilson's is land where it was rumored Sam had been seen some weeks ago.
 The Alert secured all the infor- nation available here and decided to search down Wrangell Narrows as far as Rocky Pass and back on this side of Sumner Strait through the Snow Pass district.
 Judge Suratt today received from the captain of the Alert the follow ing telegram:
 My present position is west Of Strait island. Have searched shore line from Snow Pass to Point Baker and southern entrance to Keku Pass. Have seen no sign of missing boat. Q

ALL
 FISHERMEN
 UNDER WAY

A meeting of fishermen was held Saturday afternoon at Legion hall. called by Joe Krause, president of the Alaska Seiners Association at Ketehikan. M M. Dunlap, secretary Tom Jensen and George Keegan. who as executive officers of the A. s. A. are touring southeastern Al aska in an effort to organize all fishermen in one union, by obtaining signatures making application for a district charter to cover the salmon industry in southeastern Alaska The charter will be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and the International Seamen's Union.
 In the event the charter is grant ed Dunlap told the Sentinel the or ganization will be known as the AL aska salmon Fishermen's Union. It will have full autonomy and com plete jurisdiction over the entire salmon fishing industry of south eastern Alaska.
 The organizers had previously visited Craig Hydaburg and Kla- wock and in each place met with enthusiastic reception and suppor- in packed halls. said Dunlap. who related that at klaWock an old In- dian speaking through an intcrpre- ter expressed his happiness at the proposed organization. These men are honest he told the Klawock assembly, T can look in their faces and tell they are honest and that they speak the truth. l am glad they are here to keep out the big boats from Seattle and I am going to join if no one else in Klawock does. However, Dunlap reported. Klawock Indians are for the union 10O per cent.
 The salmon fishermen in south eastern 4 laska a number approxi- mately $500, Dunlap said. There are 23l4 seiners, a little over 300d irol- lers and about loo gill netters Aside from organization expense. each member of the union would pay $l2 yearly in dues. Five per cent would be put in a sinking fund for use in the event of a strike a small per centage be sent to the American Federation of Labor and the re- mainder, approximately $60,O0O each year, would be used by the Alaska union as the members saw fit.
 The main idea of the union was declared to be to promulgate rules and regulations whereby Alaskan fishermen can work and not be ruled or handicapped by outside interier- enee and to secure uniform prices for their labor.

Mayor r. s. Barnes returned yes terday from a two-months' trip to Seattle and Portland. While the trip was made primarily in the interests of the Wrangell Packing Company in which he is a partner, the mayor devoted so much time to municipal affairs that he returned home with a new schedule of electric light rates to submit to the city council for approval.
 The rates were worked out with the cooperation of W. J. Mcintosh, municipal division manager in T e Northwest Pacific for Fairbanks Morse x Company, who two years ago put through the deal whereby his company financed Wrangel's new city light plant at a cost of $42,000, for a new generating unit of $50 h. p. and a reinforced con- crete building. Payment was pro yided by 69 revenue certificates the last falling due on December 15, 1940.
