For sheer fredericksburg, this mock
work proposal takes the cake. But it
is only one of "a rules" demands filed
by the leaders of the operating unions.
If all these demands were granted,
they would cost the railroads an added
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
Increased Wages, Too
On top of these rules" changes, the
leaders of the operating unions have
filed an additional demand for a wage
increase of over 80 per cent. If granted,
this would be an added cost to the rail-
roads of S4OO, OOO, 900 a year.

In addition to this, an Arbitration

They Grow Tall

The tallest eucalypt of authentic
measurements was a mountain ash
at Colac Victoria. This tree was
BAT feet tall, but is now dead. It was
seven feet taller than the California
redwood. So far as is known, there
is no other living eucalypt which
even approaches that height.

VANDALISM REPORTED
 AROUND POST OFFICE

Postmaster E. R. Sharnbroich t0- day repeated his previous requests to Wrangell citizens to exercise care in their use of the Federal Building. During the past few weeks there have been instance a. gain of apparent deliberate vandal- ism in defaeing signs and other parts of the building. The most Of this could be stopped if parents would see that their children are not allowed to play in and arouno the Federal Building.
 Mir. Sharnbroich remInaed Wran- gellites that their Federal Building and surrounding grounds is sail by everyone to be the finest in the Territory and added that it should be our goal to keep it that way. Upkeep of the building is paid for by the public, he said, and because it is the public's building they should take more care in it's use.
 He said children have been al lowed to play on the cement park ing lot at the side of the building and to play ball on the grounds on the lower lawn on the beach side of the main road. Some of them, he pointed out, are spelling this priv ilege for the others by playing on the porches, windows and using the lobby for basketball, marbles, etc, In the evenings. Postmaster Sharn broich advises that if this is not stopped, the post office lobby will have to be locked after closing hours.
 Citizens are also requested to Use the roads and sidewalks around the building to keep from making def mite paths through the lawns. No one, he thought, would be in so much of a hurry that the few ex- tra steps needed to take to ths sidewalk or road would delay them
 Mir. Sharnbroich said that if we all cooperate adults and children alike We can keep our building and grounds as the "finest in the Territory"

Losses Meaningless
In Indians Outlook
At District Tourney

Browning Indians lost to Con-
rad Cowbows at Conrad last Fri
day night, the score being 81 to
80. The following night they lost
to Shelby. the score being Al to
IS.
However, these two defeats
are meaningless in indicating
what the Indians may do at the
annual district tourney at Shelby
this week.
''Injun" Edwards, who was
one of the leading stars on the
Browning team in pre-war days,
is convinced that the Indian have
the best team of and in the dis
trict this season, and should take
the series. Conrad is the only
Opponent that will validity chall-
enge the Indians, he contends.
In Shelby, there appears to be
no favoritism, sports followers
seeing four equally strong teams.

Thaws Give Way to Freezing

Non-wardship

Washington-William thinner
man, acting commissioner of the
Indian office, told a house COM
mittee he believes legislation to
authorize Indian tribes to with
draw as government wards and
live as American citizens is ad-
visable.
Zimmerman said he has not de-
cided on details of such legisla-
ton but believes it would reduce
the number of Indian wards less
than 100000 from the present
$50. 900.
Some tribes, he said, now are
authorized to control their own
affairs. These include the Klam-
ath Indians in Oregon, the Usage
tri e in Oklahoma and the
Mienominee tribe in Wisconsin.
Zimmerman also told a public
| a n d S subcommittee that he
favors legislation permitting in
dividuals to withdraw from tribes
upon renouncing all fu u r e
claims.
He believes some states with
few Indians should assume the
responsibility for the Indians
that the federal government now
bears. He named New York and

Melvin friedrich, 81, lifetime
resident of western Glacier Coun-
ty, passed away suddenly at his
ranch home near Browning last
Sunday at approximately 4 p. M,
death being caused by a heart
ailment.
During the day he had been
feeling well and had enjoved a
walk about his place in his re-
action to the unusually good
weather. Sitting in the kitchen,
he suddenly suffered a heart at
tack, succumbing a moment lat
er. Mrs. Bill Walters, who with
her husband had been residing
with Melvin, was in the room at
the time.
Deceased was born at Fl. Ben
ton June /, 1886, a son of the
late Charles and Maggie Billie
deaux Peterson, who settled on
Milk River in 1888.
Acquired under Indian land
rights at that time, the property
originally included 400 acres,
with $500 acres adjoining it be-
ing acquired later.
The property under the elder
Peterson became one of the larg-
est ranches in this section and
was devoted to the raising of
cattle and thoroughbred horses
for many years.
The son, Melvin, was one of
five sons of the family, all of
whom were reared as capable
ranchmen by their sturdy faith
err. Of them, the only survivor
is Mitchell. Oscar died in 1886,
Walter in 1910 and Frank in
1914.
Melvin's health had been fail

ing that perhaps a change of al
titude would benefit his condi-
ton, he went in quest of the de-
sired climate in Idaho and Wash

Through the winter he stayed
a considerable part of the time
at the Davis Hotel, living on his
ranch, the old Momberg place
which he bought last year, when
weather was less severe.
A person of fine integrity, his
word was esteemed as worthy
security in his dealings with his
neighbors. He was simple and
unpretentious and sought to dc
good by all.
Survivors include three sons,
George, Charles and Bailey, re-
siding in this community, and 6
