TELLER WANTS
 REGULATIONS LOCAL HERRING

Otto Teller, in protesting the use of pots" by herring seiners to store live herring in Wrangell HarbOr, stated this morning that he hopes the Chamber of Commerce will take some action to discourage the prcc- tise and ask for regulations before the adjacent waters are depleted of herring and salmon alike.
 Teller explained that a herring pot is a device made with net in a square enclosure with a bottom where live herring are put after they are caught with a seine. Small hauls are sometimes made and reta- CT than brail the fish aboard where they would soon die in the hold, the herring seiners place them in a pot and keep them alive until ready to sell them,
 Merely seining and brailing of the fish Teller said, lis not as de- structiYe as potting them, out when a seiner catches a haul of 300 bar rels and tows the bag of herring to the pot there are many hundreds that smother and die and sink to the bottom of the pot. I have seen them a foot deep on the bottom after a pot has been lifted
 Teller stated further that when this happens it drives other herrin schools away and when the herring leave a district the salmon leave. also.
 As examples Teller pointed to the scarcity of salmon in Port Ala,an- der and Tebenkof lately which he planes on the huge take of herring, on which salmon feed, in those dis tricts. Frosty Bay and Santa Anna on the mainland shore, Hadley and Loring are similar instances, he said, where herring were nearly de- pleted until regulations were in- stituted to prohibit fishing in those bays. Steamer Bay and Wrangell are without regulations and are fast be coming destitute of herring.
 Himself a herring seiner on a small scale, Teller stated that he would be glad, nevertheless, if such regulations were passed to protect Wrangell fishermen.

Hunters Look To New Snow To
 Drive Bucks To Lower Level

Rockhill admitted their defeat, but declared they would return next season to try again. Before they sailed for Ketehikan, however, they made a short trip to the duck flats with Assistant District Attorney. Wilfred Stump and Jack Gucker. While there they were lucky to have a heavy north wind that made shooting exceptionally good. Most of them filled their pags with the white geese that are so difficult to procure. Due to their habit of seek ing the open flats here geese are in accessible during still weather. The wind enabled the hunters to get within range.
 White Geese Story
 Anderson, along with his string of white geese brought home a split nose, a bruised forehead, and story that challenges credulity. It seems he and Gucker were creeping on some geese in mud slough when the birds flushed. Four of them turned after gaining several feet altitude and came down wind over the hunters at a terrific speed. Gucker claimed the two. on the right and Anderson chose the two on the left. When the birds were within range@ both men stood up to fire. Anderson downed the first and the second in quick succession and had brought his gun to a sort of present arms position when the first goose he had shot impaled itself, in falling, on his gun barrel striking him in the face. Dazed, he would have fallen into the,s slough which was deep except for the help of ,GoekeT. ~.

Planes Change Living
 Conditions Liard Post

Captain William Strong returned to Telegraph Creek last Friday on his boat Taku after spending three days in Wrangell. The purpose of the trip was to pick up about seven tons of supplies shipped to Wrangell from Canadian ports for his store in Telegraph Creek and the Liard Post. Accompanying Captain Strong on the trip were Mrs. Strong, Har- per Reed, Walter Simpson, John Simpson and Buck Adsit. All return ed to Telegraph Creek except John Simpson.
 Captain Strong, who has been identified with the north for the past 30 years, last year bought Liard Post from Oscar Anderson and dis continued his store at Tulsequah.
 Air Mail Service
 Living Conditions at Liard Post have been greatly changed, Captain Strong said, since the institution of air mail service two years ago by United Air Transport which flies a plane roundtrip once week throughout the year from Edmon- ton to Whitehorse, connecting with the Dawson-Vancouver plane at Fort St. John. Liard Post lies on the route.
 Prior to the plane service the Liard country was completely iso- lated all through the long winters Now, in addition to mail twice a week, the company maintains a ra. dio telephone operator at Liard Post to transmit Weather reports and through him those at the Posi are in contact with the outside world besides having battery radio sets

The hunting season, now in it's fifth week, though gratifying to some has gone thus far with utter defeat to many. The lucky ones who have bagged fine big bucks report them to be high in the hills be- cause of the absence of snow until the last few days. Those who have not yet been successful look forward with optimism to the new snow on the tops declaring that it will drive the bucks down to the lower flats.
 Although hunters reported many moose in the lower river region early in the season, those who were late in getting started have been unsuccessful Frank Barnes, Jack Mcbride and Grover Foster, though they established a permanent camp and took two trips into the district drew blank. On the first trip they took as guest Frank Barnes Jr. and H. B. Thornquist on the second. Jack stated however that he intends to get his moose this season in spite of the fact that the camp has been abandoned.
 Moose Hunt Is Unsuccessful
 Jeff Anderson of the Ketchikan Soda Works and Fred Rockhill of Rockhill's Garage both of Ketchi- kan, made an extended trip into the lower Stikine region and took In all sloughs as far as the Canadian Boundary. They reported that al though they had seen some sign of moose it was very scarce. They sug- gested that it was possible there had been a migration to the other side of the border because of the many hunters on the American side.

INDIAN ANTIQUITIES 5. E. ALASKA
 TO BE PRESERVED BY FOREST SERVICE

timbers fro mthe building are lying on the ground and can be reused or exactly duplicated; and the large totem pole in front of this house, as well as the totems inside of 1t are in place and can be readily restored.
 "The plan also calls for taking totem poles etc. from the abandoned Thlinget villages around Ketchikan and erecting them at the nearby eX- isting Thlinget village of SaXman. Objects from the abandoned Haida towns on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island will be placed Dear Hydaburg. Relics from other vi.lages will likewise be repaired and appro- priately relocated.
 Replica Indian Village
 If the present ambitious program Is not disturbed by unforeseen dtffi- culties, an exact replica of an h. dian village containing three lasse community houses, burial houses, to- tenn poles, war canoes etc, is to be established at a point on the shores of Tongass Narrows where it will be accessible by automobile and visible from the steamer channel.
 "Throughout the United States, the federal and state governments, patriotic organizations and histor- ical societies, are now actively work ing on the restoration of sites and buildings that have played a part in the native and white history of the country. These distinctive In- dian relics in Alaska are also worth keeping as interesting and instruc- tive historical objects. Their pres eryation is a case of now or never. The few remaining objects will oth- erwise soon be gone"
 It is said that the project will doubtless extend over a number of years. c. M. Archbold in charge of Forest Service work in the Ketchi- kan region, will direct all of the ac- tiyities With the exception of some white personnel for general super vision, Indians are to be used al- most exclusively on the work The labor employed will consist largely of eco forces.

RESCUED FROM WRECK
 HALIBUT BOAT

seamen on the 4. s. Alaska here on her way south Monday night told of their thrilling rescue of the six man crew of the 5S foot halibut fisher Angelus Sunday morning.
 The Angelus, they said, with one more day of fishing to complete her catch, expected to start shortly for Seattle from their fishing grounds in the gulf. They were too late, how ever, to escape the storms that swept that locality last week. Caught i'll the embrace of the gales that sailors reported to have reach ed the eyclonie velocity of 105 miles per hour, the house of the Angelus was ripped off and all boats and gear on deck were swept like leaves before the wind. Pounded mereiless- ly by mountainous seas her fuel tanks sprung rendering her engines useless.
 The men were close to exhaustion after six days of hunger and ex- posture but when they were rescued ten miles off Cape St. Elias where they had found bottom at 80 faith oms with their anchors, the men, hardy halibuters all, claimed they could have held out for two more days. Using storage batteries they started a fire and cooked what little food they could find. Water was ob- tained by melting ice in which hal ibut was packed. Flares were made by soaking blankets in oil. The Denali passed nearby out failed to see the flares so when the Alaska was sighted the men staked all reserves on big flares. The steamer responded and the crew were taken aboard and given first aid, as they were all burned up to the waist by raw tuel oil and salt water.
 The men rescued by the Alaska were Captain H. J. Hansen, Halton Reiton, IngYald Anderson, Pete Corneliusen, oscar Johnson and Paul Forget.
 The Angelus according to eye wit. nesses, had only a foot and half free board when the men were taken off It was taken in tow to Yakutat by the coast guard cutter Alert.

A Forest Service announcement of this week is to the effect that in cooperation with interested Indians, it has started on an extended pro gram of preserving some of the famous Indian antiquities of south eastern Alaska. It plans to restore totem poles, reeonditiOn some large primitive community houses and build replicas of others, and restore or duplicate grave houses, war canoes and other outstanding evil denees of the local Indian culture that prevailed before the coming of the whites.
 Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman in commenting on the project stated:
 Southeastern Alaska is known far and wide for the totem poles, community houses and other out standing evidences of craftmanship of it's native people. Most of these fine things of an earlier day have now disappeared and new ones are not being built. With Indian per mission and Indian assistance, some of the best that remain are now to be salvaged and preserved, under government protection, as historical objects. Painstaking efforts will be made through study of old manu- scripts and conference with the old CT Indians, to make the restorations historically accurate to the smallest detail
 Indians Cooperative
 "The Indians so far approach ed with regard to this project, have offered the best possible cooperation. For example, the owners of the re- maining restorable poles at Old Kasaan and Kasaan, have consented to the repair work and to the er- ection of the poles in an attractive setting adjacent to their community. The heirs of Chief Son-i-hat have cheerfully agreed to the restoration of a large and magnificent comnun- ity house erected by this chief in 1880 on a site a short distance north of Kasaan. The heavy frame work of this structure is still intact; other

Before taking passage for Ketchi- kan on the Northland Friday night, E. F. Clements sanitary engineer of the territorial department of health, stated that he appreciated the coop eration he had received during the week at Wrangell but that he was going to expect a lot more!
 MT. Clements made an inspection of all food establishments and said there are some indications that things are better and that some of his recommendations are being car ried out, but the results are still far from being satisfactory.
 He is giving the city a little more time to do something about sewers as he found in talking to city off, ficials that the town council is mak- ing an effort to get funds for this purpose.
 Speaking of the wide police powers possessed by the city health officer Mir. Clements said that it is not the duty of the city health off cer always to exercise his police powers.

 In a conference with Mayor Fisk MT. Clements said he was assured that the mayor would instruct tn city policeman to make regular call on food ablishments in town t ascertain that all food handlers ar in possession of medical certificate and also to check up on sterilization of glasses in beer parlors.

Wrangell Red Men are planning to accept in the near future the in- vitation to visit Ketchikan extended by Thinglet Tribe No. 4, thirteen of whose officers and members recent ly journeyed to Wrangell on the first visit ever accorded the local lodge since it's institution on April IS, 1904, by deputy Great Incohonee Charles Cosgrove and a degree team from Ketchikan.
 After the lapse of B years eight of the 45 charter members are still living: S. Cunningham, J. H. Wheel CT Sr., A. Engstrom, Walter Camper, Steve Chernoff, Donald Sinclair, L. A. Olsen and John Olson. The recent visit of Ketchikan Red Men recalled incidents of the institution to those still here.
 The ceremonies were held in the Peoples church (now St. Philip's) Late in the afternoon it was dis covered there were no shades on the windows, so there was a great seurrying around to get shades in- stalled.

No group, except possibly the to-

in extending a cordial greeting to the
farmers who come here to sell and
buy than will the merchants of Hep
derson. They will welcome the grow
ers not alone for what they may pur-

the sake of making them satisfied
and content with their stay in the
city.
Nowhere will a more cordial or
friendly spirit toward these rural
visitors be found than in Henderson.
The men and women who own and
operate establishments up and down
main street and the other business
parts of the city long ago came to
recognize the mutual interests of ur-
ban and rural people. In a section so
dependent upon agriculture as is this
and much of the rest of North Car

one is wrapped up with that of the
other, and when times are good for
one group they usually are for the
other. Henderson and Vance and ad-

An arrangement which has proved
satisfactory and helpful for several
years past is to be continued this sea-
son in providing publicity for the
Henderson markets and the Hender'

In addition to the some 2,700 daily
circulation of the Dispatch, that much
additional circulation is to be pro-

are now being made up and checked
for correct addresses so that these
extra copies will reach the homes to
which they will be sent.
The total additional copies will be
divided into six equal parts and the
same number mailed each day, though

Mayor Powell Points
to Advantages To Be
Gained from Selling

and Stores A m ong
Best
BY HENRY II. POWELL.
MayOr of Henderson.

/ wish to extend all of our old
friends a most cordial invitation to
again sell their tobacco and cotton
with us. And to those of you who
have not been in the habit of selling
on the local market we wish to urge
that you, too, try our market. All
that we ask is a trial, because we
know that if you will accept this in
vitation you will become a friend of
our market, and will continue to sell
with us.
The Henderson tobacco market this
year will have nine modern ware
houses in operation. And we are proud
of the men who operate these houses.
Each operator has years of experience
as the manager of tobacco ware
houses, and each one has devoted his
entire life to this business and is in
a position to get you the top price for
your tobacco. AS evidence that this
is no idle boast, we call to your at
tention the fact that the Henderson
market is always among the leaders
in price average. And we invite your
comparison with any market over a
period of years.
The modern highways leading into
the city from every direction make
Henderson accessible to every farmer
in North Carolina who desires to sell
here And the great distance from
which tobacco is brought each year
to be sold on our market shows that
the slogan Henderson Sells Tobacco
Higher" is no idle boast.
The Henderson cotton market also
merits your patronage. We have two
modern cotton gins, which are operat-
ed by men of long experience in the
buying of cotton. And they are equip
ped to handle all the cotton that you
might desire to sell with us.
And should you make Henderson
your headquarters to sell your pro-
ducts, we offer you every shopping
advantage, you might desire. Our
shopping district has many good
stores that are catering to your needs.
and any article that you might desire
to purchase can be found in our
stores. In fact, we feel that we can
say without fear or successful contra
diction that you can purchase any
thing in Henderson that you can pur-
chase in cities many times the size
of Henderson.
And should you need banking fa-
cilities you can find three banks OPP
Grated by men who have dealt with
farmers for years and are thoroughly
acquainted with your needs and pro-
blems, and you will find them ready
and willing to render any reasonable
service.
Each citizen of Henderson is anxi-
Gus for you to make Henderson your
headquarters for the coming season.
The present outlook is that tobacco

President, Henderson Rotary Club.
The Rotary Club of Henderson
looks forward with confidence to the
opening of the cotton and tobacco
marketing season in our city next
week.
Our stores and shops are preparing
for every need of the people, and the
individual members of our club, being
identified with various activities in
Henderson, extend you a cordial well
come to make this your trading cen
ter.
So much interested are we in a
closer relationship of the people of
this section of North Carolina that a
special committee of the Rotary club
has been named to make a survey of
the situation and do all within it's
power more fully to cement the ties
of goodwill and friendship among our
fine citizenship, realizing that each is
more or less dependent upon the
other
We believe Henderson has the best
and most satisfactory cotton and to-
bacco market in the State, and, there
fore, particularly invite the planters
who have such products to sell to give
our merchants and warehousemen an
opportunity to serve them.
