HERE'S WHAT PETERSBURG THINKS OF P0TLATCH
.lFrom Petersbnrg Pressl

Wrangel is making preparations for an elaborate tWo-day Potlateh celebration on June 3 and 1. dedi- eating the official opening of Shakes Island Community House and the elevation of Chief-eIec1 Kudanake to full ehieftainship of the Wrangell Indian people as Chief Shakes.
 According to the Wrangeu sentin- ell. the last Chief Shakes died in 1916 and since that time the Shakes people have had TO chief. With Ku- danake assuming his new position of leadership and the restoration of the Shakes Island buildings and to- tems to their original status by the Forest Service. Alaska Indian cul- ture will have a revival.
 In preparing for the celebration the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce and residents in general are leaving no stones unturned to make the event an unprecedented success. In- vitations will be sent to various Washington and Territorial govern ment officials and many visitors from Alaska and the States are ex- peeted.
 Undoubtedly many Petersburg residents are planning to make the trip to Wrangell on this occasion and will join with their Wrangell neighbors in making it one to be long remembered.
 While we in Petersburg may wish that we too, had some such occas- ion for celebration, especially during the tourist season, we resign our selves to the fact that this is some thing that has been determined by historical development and eOngrat- ulate our neighboring community on taking the fullest advantage of a significant event. The Forest Ser vice and the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs have taken the initiative in re- viYing those Alaska traditions which will give more meaning to such ad- vertising slogans as Hand of the totems", realizing that authentic ex- hibits of those things which tie up with Alaskas history will stimulate tourist interest.

WRANGEIL TAKES LEAD AGAIN


 Wrangell is eognizant if it's nat ural resources. One of the best proofs of it is found in the forma- tion here this week of the Wrangell Sportsmen's Association with an in itial membership of approximately 40, and with a fixed purpose to make use of, enjoy and perpetuate wild life in this district to eneour- age true sportsmanship and to pro- mote facilities for youngsters as well as older men and women to en- joy shooting and allied outdoor sports.
 Wrangell is in the heart of one of the greatest wild life areas in the world There is no better way to perpetuate it in such a status than through such an organization as has now been formed and which already has it's sleeves rolled up and is go- ing to work.
 It's first civic enterprise will be the sponsoring of wild life exhibit and the showing of wild life pictures here during the Potlatch. June and 4 It is getting in touch with game officials and others who may assist and now has assurance that the eX hibit will be one of the best ever shown in the north, depicting the many trophies of Alaska from record moose and brown bear to giant king salmon, Wrangell rainbows and Stikine cutthroats.
 And it is planning far beyond the Potlatch It's membership envisions shooting ranges, both indoor and out, for the enjoyment of it's mem bers. It will work with the experi- mental fur farm at Petersburg and game officials in stocking the refuge area along the highway with phea sants and other wild life which may be adaptable to the region. It pro- poses to take active leadership in obtaining as far as possible regula- tions best suited to this district. The prospect of a station here where birds may be matched, cared for and released in the highway area is not remote.
 The Sportsmen's Association can be, and we predict will be, a real asset and benefit to this community and to the Territory of Alaska. With it's sound leadership made up of men long identified with the community, most of them veterans of rod and gun the Association should prove an inspiration to all followers of outdoor sports with a native pride in their community and it's natural resources to avail themselves of
