ranches and anyone unable to work
because of strike conditions was
eligible for relief.
Growers directly affected by the
walkout held private conference
in Corcoran. The meeting was
called by j. B. Boyette, one of the
growers and president of the As
sociated Farmers of Kings county
The opinion was expressed at the
informal conference that most OF
the pickers wanted to work, but
were afraid there might be violence
The growers decided to ask the
Kings county sheriff to appoint de-
puties to patrol the fields and tc
ask what were termed "agitators'
to leave the ranch cabins.
Although there were no impor-
tant walkouts reported in Tulare

PROMISING 1910

As old 1899 fades IN the passing
picture and new 1910 looms in the
offing, Wrangell looks forward with
eager anticipation and hope. One
of the Oldest towns in the Territory
in point of years, Wrangell retains
the enthusiasm of youth and that
quality. found everywhere in Alaska,
of abiding faith in the future.
In glaneing over the scene one
finds many reasons for looking for
ward with optimism.
Almost as soon as the voice of the
last New Years reyeler dies down,
work is to start in the community
through funds allotted by the
Works Progress Administration on
projects of vital necessity to the
town. Tentatively among the first
undertakings will be street improve
ments and repairs to the water re-
serYoir. simultaneously with this
work will be projects being under
taken by the new Gee camp which
is to be established here Immediately
after the first of the year. Not only
will these enterprises, government
supported though they be, provide
work for idle men in the eommun-
ity but they will result in definite
improvements which will aid toward
stimulating further activity here.
= i =
At the same time the Shakes Is
land recreation project is moving
along toward a completed reality in
the summer. Forest Service officials
have stated they expect to have it in
readiness for the heavy tourist sea-
son expected this summer as a result
of the war in Europe Steps are now
being taken toward getting the
steamship companies to make longer
stops here in order TO give the trav-
elers an opportunity to actually see
one of the most historic spots in all
of the northland. Following the
longer stops will come an actual
stopover tourist business in Wran-
gell and the Wrangell district.
Further accommodation are neces-
sary before that becomes an actual
ity, but that is one of the reasons
why Wrangell can look forward
with hope and enthusiasm. Those
things can and will be built through
private enterprise. This writer is
advised that one Alaskan is at the
moment laying plans for building a
sportsmen lodge in this vicinity this
summer
In the recreation program, the
Pats lake area undoubtedly will be
developed in time 1t is expected that
some work may be done this year,
and as recreation becomes more and
more of a business in Southeast AL
aska it is certain to be completely
developed The completion of the
road to the area may await the ac-
ton of the Forest Service in start
ing the development of the recrea-
ton area itself, but that the road
will be built over the right-of-way
already cleared is a foregone con-
clusion.
