Market" tax-enacted in 1914 as 9
ten per cent penalty on any illegal
goods, but admittedly aimed at liqu-

the bill, which they said was a de-
friment to law enforcement.

A direct vote was avoided by a par
liamentary procedure; after a bill
was offered for consideration, a
motion was made to strike out the

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. n. C. Valentine
Christian Wurfare

Eight the good fight of faith, lay
hold on eternal life."--1 Tim. 6:12.
Some persist in thinking of the
Christian life as a 'flowery bed OF
ease" They believe that once a pro-
fession of faith is made and their
name is entered on the church roll
that their work is all done and their
battles are all won.
But the Bible describes the Christ
ian life as one of constant warfare. 1t
pictures the way as narrow and rigid.
Cross bearing is demanded of fol-
lowers of Christ. They are admonish-
ed to watch and pray without ceas-
ing for they are facing a formidable
enemy. They are told to flee temp
tation and sin and to put on the
whole armor of God, that we may be
able to stand against the wiles of
the devil."--Eph. Gil. They are en-
listed in the army of the King of
Kings and must endure hardness as
good soldiers of Jesus Christie Tim.
2:3. They must flight the good fight
of faith"
The encouraging thing in this pic
ture of struggle against the mastery
of sin, is the fact that the Christian
warfare is not fought alone. Streng-
thening him constantly and with
him in every battle is his all-power-
full Commander. He has said, Cali
power is given unto me in Heaven
and earth--Lo, / am with you al
ways."--Matt. 28:18-20. He assures
81 will never leave thee. nor for
sake thee, so that we may boldly
say, The Lord is my helper, and I
will not fear what man shall do unto

ASSOCIATION TO ASK INVESTIGATION OF F&WS
 INTEREST OF FISH. BIRDS

At it's meeting last Monday ev- ening at Red Men hall the local Stikine Sportsmen's Association of Wrangell went on record to ask the Fish and Wildlife Service to make an investigation pertainin to planting of feed on Stikine flats or benefit of ducks and geese which have disappeared in num- bers from the flats. It is thought lack Qf feed is responsible for their disappearance. For a study of duck feeding and planting, President Lee Ellis appointed a committee of Leo Mccormick, Chet Steear and Jack Brinley. Restocking of yari- ous streams and lakes with trout was also discussed and MT. Ellis appointed committee of Mrs. Neya Coulter, Mrs. Winnie Will Hams and Charles Moore to work with the Fish and Wildlife Serv- ice on this. A discussion ensued on possibility of planting elk on the Stikine river. It was pointed out that the Stikine has similar and conditions as the Olympic pen insula in Washington where elk thrive in abundance and it was thought the Fish and Wildlffe Ser vice might be interested in exper- imenting with planting a herd on the Stikine. (Ed. Note: A press re- lease this week said recent sur vey in interior Alaska, where in 1928 23 bison were planted, shows they have increased considerably Six herds, with calves, containing from Is to fl animals and 47 ami mals in small herds or individuals without calves were located.) To study the possibility ef plant ing elk on the Stikine a committee of Ed Lowney, Mark Daly, Bill Hackquest and Ben Engdal was appointed.
 It was further suggested that Clarence Rhode. Regional Director for Fish and Wildlife and Bud El- kinS in charge of Game Manage ment, be requested to come to Wrangell to discuss with the or ganization these various problems which the group would nke to un- dertake.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

As the new year of 1949 dawns it brings with it a spirit of optim- ism which gives promise of a year of achievement in Alaska. The de- velcpment program which made some advances in the year just ending will be pushed forward with new zeal in the 12 months a. head. Private initiative, coupled with government cooperation and assistance should result in bene- fits for the entire Territory. The development of power sites, now being pushed by federal agencies, should bring new industry, capital and people north. There is every reason to look with considerable confidence to the early operation 4f pulp mills in Southeast Alaska. Ketchikan and Sitka are now prac- ticaIly assured of plants and there is a good possibility Of starts be- ing made toward bringing similar plants to the central Southeast and Juneau districts.
 An extension road program is in the works for the Interior and the Westward. aimed at opening up new regions and making accessible industrial possibilities. Advances particularly are promised in agri- cultural development in the West ward as studies continue toward developing crops suited to the eli mate and soil Expansion of the military establishments. too. will bring people with spending dol lars to the Interior areas. a situa- tion which Westward and Interior points have enjoyed for a lonng time and promise to enjoy for some years to come.
