 The Wrangel Chamber of Com merce has received a petition re- questing that this body promote the creation of a game refuge border ing the Wrangell Highway, and ex- tending inland to embrace the wa tershed of Zimovia Strait to the southerly terminus of the highway.
 The object of the refuge is to pro- tect the game animals and birds along the highway and in a sense create a natural park adjacent to Wrangel1 The proposed refuge will have as it's northerly boundary the National Forest boundary which crosses the road al the Redmen's Cemetery.
 It follows naturally that the con struetion of roads and trails offer more opportunity to the hunter in pursuit of game. Throughout the United States the opening of the habXat of game. animals, birds and fish, through the construction of roads and trails has resulted in he depletion of game. even though the taking of it has been confined to open seasons. Many areas are now being reclaimed for refuges at great expense to the taxpayer It is ob- yiously a distinct advantage to any community to be able to have setI aside an area for this purpose at al time when it can be done at littleI or no expense to the residents there of.
 Area Adapted To Refuge
 The area adjacent to the Wran- gell highway is well adapted to the creation of a game refuge. Feed is available for many more deer and upland birds than now inhabit theI area. Without doubt the number of animals and birds would increase rapidly if afforded year round pro- lection. Species not native to the area can be introduced
 The area abutting the Wrangell highway is being rapidly settled The Wrangell Institute has an in- tensively developed area. Numerous homesiters have developed perman- ent homes. A ski course takes off from the highway. Recreational fea- lures developed through the expend- iture of federal funds offer outdoor playfields to the Wrangell residents Extension of the highway to Pats Creek will result in the intensive development of that area as a sum mer and winter playground. Ob- Viously roadside residents, recrea- tionists, picknickers and hikers will have a greater sense of security if hunting on the watershed is discon- tinued.
 Residents Proud
 In 1896 the town of Petersburg requested that an area borderingI the Mitkof Highway be set aside as game refuge Today the residentsI are more than proud of their natur- al park, for such it has proven toI be. Hardly a traveller goes over theI

Wild Life Protection

I am confident that Wrangell will be more than pleased with the wild life development that will result through the creation of the proposed refuge The early establishment of q refuge is important. If the matter is delayed until the land is put to other permanent use. such refuge can be established within the desir- ed limits only at considerable cost.
 If you feel, as other communities have, that the present value of your road system from the stand point of wildlife, roadside and re- creational development is to be en- hanced, I believe the time is now ripe to take the necessary steps to protect and improve these assets by the establishment of a game refuge.
 The boundaries of the Petersburg refuge are marked by signs bearing the following:
 Taking game animals, game birds or fur bearers prohibited on area description"
 Allay Fears
 Any fears expressed by the Wran- gell residents that the creation of a refuge may interfere with their rights in destroying predators on their own land should be allayed, since the same regulation effecting the Petersburg refuge could be out lined to govern the Wrangell area. The primary object of the refuge is, of course, to protect game and should not interfere in any way with residents along other lines.
 The Forest Service and the Alaska Game Commission are interested in setting aside areas for game refuges in various sections of Alaska and are anxious to cooperate with local communities in establishing such refuges in localities where the ad- yantages may be enjoyed by the greatest possible number.
 I believe the residents of Wran- gell and vicinity are keenly inter- ested in the proposed refuge. I un- derstand the Chamber of Commerce will call for a vote on the propo- sition. AS one who has had oppor- tunity to observe the steady de- pletion of our game supply and the benefits of such a refuge, I urge you to give the matter your best thought and judgment.

LIQUOR LICENSES
ARE SUSPENDED
Wholesaler and Retailer
Are Found Guilty of
Consignment Deal.

Suspension of the licenses OF liquor
wholesaler and of liquor retailer who
were found guilty of confederating to
handle the sale of Is cases Of whisky
on consignment. in violation of the ex-
cessive credit rules under the Liquor
Act, was ordered today by the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board.
The wholesaler, trading as the Roma
Wine & Liquor Co. Of the 1000 block
of Fifth street NV, was given a sus-
pension Of seven days, from July 20 to
~. and the retailer, Willard Lyman Of
the 5000 block OF Mount Pleasant street
NV. for his part in the transaction,
was ordered to cease the sale Of liquor
for 10 days, from July 6 to 16.
High Pressure Salesmanship.
The board found that an agent of
the wholesale firm, Simon F. CARRIER,
was guilty Of using high-pressure sales
methods to induce the retailer to take
the consignment, just before last
Christmas, and found Mr.. Hyman
guilty of accepting the consignment
with the understanding he could pay
the wholesale bill after he had sold the
whisky to the public. Both licensees
were found guilty of failing to keep
books properly on the transaction.
The licensees, under the wholesale
permit, are Philip Hurwitz and Leon
Samet. In issuing formal decision
on the case the board made the point
that the wholesale licensees 'individ-
ually are both men Of high character
whose regulations are beyond re-
proach." that this was the first offense
of their firm and that it was "unfor-
tunate" that the board was compelled
to visit upon them the penalty in this
case"
Retailer Is Cleared.
In finding another retailer not guilty
of charge of selling to an intoxicated
person the A. B. c. Board enunciated
a policy that restaurant operators
should refuse to sell food as well as
drink to any one who shows signs of
intoxication.
1t was the case of a charge against
Ludwig Mueller OF the 400 block Of q
street NV. The board said there
was no question but that one of Muel-
lerS customers had been drinking be.
fore he entered his place. The Gus
toner ordered q plate of soup, the
record showed. and while a bottle
partly filled with beer was at his place
the customer insisted he had not or
dered or drunk any of the beer.
. In finding that the evidence was
not sufficient to convict Mueller of
selling to an intoxicated person, the
board said that since the man had
been drinking he should have been
denied service Of any kind in the
establishment"
The board assessed q five-day sus-
pension OF the permit held by the
estate OF j. j. Curtin in the 200 block
OF Fourth street S.W. on finding that
waiter there was guilty of having
sold a bottle Of beer to q customer
who was said to have been intoxicated
at the time. The suspension will be
| effective from July S to july IL.

There is no way of accurately esti-

Few Of the veterans here saw action
at Gettysburg. They remember Shiloh
and Vicksburg and Chickamauga. But
when they see the battle ground, they
indulge In good-natured pickering
over the relative strength OF the
Northern and Southern armies. One
tall. white-bearded rebel in gray
uniform with golden cuffs and collar
took the Stars and Bars on his bus
ride and insisted that ali the soldiers
in the bus walk solemnly around the
statue on the field of Gen. Robert E.
Lee, the Southern commander, while
he held aloft the Confederate mag.
Because Of the difficulty OF getting
the veterans out of and into the buses.
he was dissuaded from going this far,
but he did wave his nag out the
window while the old heroes doffed
their hats.
