Before leaving Dr. Jones stated
to the Sentinel reporter that he was
sorry to be leaving Wrangell as he
liked the town and the people very
much. He said thtt after traveling
over the north from Ketchikan to
Poiut Barrow he was of the opinion
that Wrangell is the cleanest town
in all Alaska, his only criticism be
ing that there are a few people
here who persist in expectorating on
the sidewalks and \n public places,
and that while this habit is by no
means general, it is entirely too
prevalent for the public good. He
said that where there is pulmonary
trouble, as among a few people here,
this habit of expectorating promis
cuously is one that is sure to bring
harmful results if permitted to go
unchecked.—Wrangell Sentinel
