In later years, after retiring from active work, he became a watchman at Wrangell sawmill. but for the past three or four years i'll health forced him to retire com~ pletely.

 Bell said the company's plans call for a 40-day operations here, working 24 hours day. He said if the material was piped to the fill it wou require some 1500 or 1900 feet of additional pipe which he thought his company could rent to the city. He estimated the rental fee of five, or possibly more cents per foot per day It would be neces- a y for the city to supply men on the 24-hour basis to handle the extra work.

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
SDortsmen Unhappy

The proposed state constitution to Lat in the April A primary with two strikes against it.
 Alaska sportsmen. who bought $64, 900 worth of one dollar Terri torial sports fishing licenses last year, are unhappy because the con- stitution writers failed to make special provision for conservation of fish, game and fur. On the na- tional scene, the big sports organ iZatiOns, representing spOrtsmen who spend in the millions, or per haps it's in the billion bracket, for fishing and hunting gear, are i'll unison with the Alaska sports or ganiZatiOns and are prepared to at hack for the same reason, If and when the constitution appears be- fore Congress. A recent survey re vealed that fishermen buy one fourth of the total millions spent on sports parapsenelia in America. They are quite a pressure group; enough of 'em to make any Con gressman look at his hole card.
 What the sportsmen wanted and urged to the constitution writers to do was set up a department to handle fish and game rather than leaving it in the hands of the Leg islature. The Legislature, they ar gued, is political and thus fish and same, an easily depleted resource, becomes a political football with the result that the fish and game resources will become exhausted as they did in many of the states.
 This is what was written into the constitution. Section of article &, dealing with patural resources, reads:
 The Legislature shall provide for the utilization, development, and conservation of all natural re- sources belonging to the State, in cluding land and waters, for the maximum benefit of the people
 And in Section of the same art ic!e it says:
 
 facilities. improvements, and serv- ices to assure greater utilization, development, reclamation, and set t.ement of lands, and to assure full Ter utilization and development of the fisheries, wildlife, and waters
 The boys with the tapered lines and the two-shOt autOmatics want no part of that kind of a constitu- tion. They want the money, and it's d sizeable wad. they spend for li- censes and sport gear, spent for maintaining some good hunting and fishing. And they want it W itten in the constitution so no DO iticaI legislature can kick it a. round.
 Many of the states are coming to the Sporssmen's way of thinking, and re toring their fish and game. AIaskas proposed constitution, lacking such provisions. is likely to have some tough going, especially should it squeeze through the pri-
 .y and land in Congress where the sports organizations of America have lot of friends.
 The sidewalk philosopher who same by the other day with the eX- pressed opinion that the constitu- uonal convention set statehood back 20 years may have something.

Query From Wharf Co.

The Clerk read a letter from the w rangeu Wharf Company asking about the proposed seawall, where was it going to be built and how would it effect the company's pro- perty? He next read letter from l.. E. Chisholm who has a permit on lot or two at the proposed fill. MT. Chisholm, who now lives in California, wanted to know about the seawaI, too. and even suggest ed he might stand a fair assessment toward improvements on the water front. It began to appear that q seawall was going to be q popular subject of the evening. Meanwhile, the Clerk read a letter from the engineering firm of Hubbell and Waller seeking some information on the city dams which the Clerk told the Council he could provide.
 Next came an application from Merlin Elmer Palmer Post of the American Legion for a club liquor license ill the Legion Dugout. The Mayor projected the thought that the Dugout was a city building. Legion Adjutant Ned Zenger ex- plained the Legion had a 5O-year lease on the building and that hc had a copy of it in his files.
 "WeH, the Council did it for thn Elks in the Civic Club building, volunteered Councilman EngstrQm. The Council agreed this was true, so the Mayor called for a poll vote and the application was granted without further ado.
