SGin0r XL
 Badly Damaged SeCIuSiOn HaTbOT

Last Friday, a day before the |seining season closed, the seine boat XI. went on the rocks at Se- clusion Harbor with a full load of fish and was seriously damaged be- fore it could be salyaged.
 Captain Lawrence Bahoyec said the boat drifted on the rocks after the engine stopped when one fuel tank went dry. An air lock- in the fuel line prevented starting 1t a. gain in time to avoid the ground ing.
 The XL was not seriously dam- aged hitting the rocks, Bahovee said, but with a load of 15,000 to I16,O00 fish, failed to right itself and float off on the incoming tide. A pump was flown to the scene by bush pilot Valentine Tiny Fer lguson but was used without sue cess. The crew, in the meantime, lad made it to shore with some bedding and food in the power eziff. They established what Cap tain Bahovec calls "a real jungle camp" under couple of spruce trees.
 The rising tide, notoriously fast and bad in this area, turned the boat almost upside down after it failed to float and swamped The deckhouse was smashed, the mast and boom broken off, the bulwarks on the port side sheared off above the guard and the caulking near the keel pounded out.
 Captain and crew stayed on the scene and started salvage opera Itions Sunday when Roy Blake ar- rived at the scene with empty oil drums. The drums were put in the hold of the XL and floated it into shallow water where temporary patching was done before towing it to W~angell Blake lowed the XL here yesterday afternoon with his packer, Emma. The damaged seiner is now on the grid in the boat har- bor.
 Bahovec said the loss is partial lV covered by insurance. He plans to go out immediately and attempt to salvage the seine.
 Bahoyec's crew consisted of Barney Iverson, cook, Tho- Skull stad, Richard Rinehart, Odd Sund- be and Bill Kangas.
 Captain Bahovec expressed his gratitude this week to pilot Ferg- ,uon for supplying them and aiding in the salvaging, to Roy Blake for his aid and to the many others who offered to or did aid in some way.

X-Ray Fund Dance Tomorrow

Proceeds from the Stikine Stan pede show held last Monday night totaling $225.S8 were turned over to the Andy Johnson Memorial to bring the fund close to the cost of the proposed machine-about $500 according to hospital sup erintendent Miss Peggy Price.
 Tomorrow night the Wrangell Fire Department is giving a dance, determined to make up the balance the machine may cost and pay the freight from the midwest.
 In addition to selling tickets, the fire laddies are planning a kangaroo" court to extract fines from violators-$2.50 for the first offense, etc. Firemen must all be on hand with their badges to help police the dance and any fireman not appearing will be promptly dealt with, the department warns.
 The x-ray fund was started sev- eral months ago when the late Andy Johnson left S5OOO to the hospital. The Pocahontas added $25 and personal contributions now total $49. With the proceeds from the stikine Stampede show, the fund now totals $5299.88.

Hearings on the Bartlett bill proposing to set up an Alaska pan ell within the Indian Claims Con- mission to settle the long-disputed claims may be held in Alaska next month. Chairman Toby Morris of Oklahoma said during hearings held in Washington last week that "eyerything possible" would be done to hold further hearings on the measure in Alaska key cities. He indicated October as the preb- able time for holding them.
 Protests have been entered a. gainst the bill by James E. Cur ry, attorney for the Alaska Native Brotherhood, and Ruth Bronson, representing the National Indian Congress. They contended at the Washington hearing that a clause in the bill which would prohibit any claimant from being awarded exclusive rights in coastal waters beyond the low water mark a. mounted to "confiscation without compensation" of Indian claims to water and fishing rights.
 Delegate Bartlett holds that his proposed law is necessary to settle the claims and permit the contin- ued development of the Territory.

Council Opens Bids; Readies For Election

The City Council at it's regular meeting last night accepted bids for supplying the city with fuel and lubricating oil, delivering the oil and the painting of the light plant.
 Standard Oil Company was a. warded the contract for supplying diesel and lubricating oil to the light plant, furnace oil to the city hall, fire hall, school and gym, and gasoline to the city vehicles. The Standard bid was one cent a gallon less than it's posted price and Un- ion submitted the posted price. Cost to the city at present will be 11.4 cents a gallon for diesel and furnace oil and 15.3 cents a gallon (not including federal tax) for gas oline.
 Only one bid was submitted for delivering the fuel oil so it was accepted. The bid was one cent gallon submitted by Bjorge Trans fer Standard plans to deliver die sel oil to the light plant by pipe line similar to the one used in the past by Union oil Company.
 Hans Enzbrunner submitted the only bid for painting the interior and exterior of the light plant and his bid was accepted by the coun- nf1 Tho mill hn Q1QEE painting according to the specified tions and an additional $175 for scraping and painting the stacks.
 Municipal Election
 Last night the council appointed clerks and judges for the annual municipal election to be held Oct ober 2. Mrs. I. c. Bjorge and Mrs. Julius Mason were named clerks with Oscar Carlson, Wm. Vreeland and Mrs. Herbert Bradley, judges. Mrs. George Sumption was named as alternate judge.
 No petitions have gone out yet, according to City Clerk Bob Wick man, and candidates have until the close of business September 22 to file for any of the offices.
 Election will be for a mayor to serve a one year term; two council men, three year terms; and three school board members for three, four and five year terms.
 Councilmen Charles Early's and pr. E. J. Wheelers terms expire this year as does the term of school board member William Grant.
 The recent session of the Terri torial Legislature passed a law making it mandatory to have five member school boards in incorp- orated towns and school districts, therefore Wrangell will have to elect two additional members this year.

A big fish pack

Southeast Alaska's salmon pack would run over a million and a half cases when the final figures were in, it was indicating with the closing of the seining season last Saturday night. On the whole. it had been good season throughout the area, particularly in the Wran- gel1-Petersburg district where the Harvest Wrangell cannery had .the top pack.
 Strong request had been made for extending the season on grounds that the pink run was continuing to build up in certain areas, especially in the southern district and the west coast, but Fish and Wildlife men, keeping close watch, failed to see suffic- lent evidence. They held there were certain late streams which hadn't been seeded and wouldn't be unless the salmon were allowed to escape. Water in some streams was so low that fish were unable to get up but this weeks rain was aiding in correcting the situa- tion.
 Due to the short run of reds to the Westward, the overall Alaska pack probably would be short of

Appear Before Council

John Strangeways of the Alaska Wrangell Lumber Mills appeared before the council to seek assur- ance there would be sufficient power available when the mill started cutting lumber in 40 to 45 days. City Light Plant Superinten- dent Ralph Devenny is on a brief vacation but council memgers be- lieved there would be sufficient power if the lines could hold it. Devenny would be consulted as soon as he returned.
 To back his statement that the mill would soon be operating, Strangeways said brick layers would be here Monday to brick up the boilers.
 Carl Welfelt appeared to ask for the use of the city shovel in ex- change for lumber from his mill or his labor in operating the bull dozer or shovel The council de- c1ded against the exchange but said Welfelt could have the use of the shovel for $100 a day, the regular charge.
