WRANGELL BUSY
SEASON POINTS !
TO GREAT YEAR
Town Experiencing One of
Busiest Seasons, Says
Editor of Sentinel.
Wrangell Is experi»>"'’!ng one of its
busiest ami most prosperous m asons,
according to .1. W. Pritchett, editor
and publisher of the Wrangell Sen
tlnel and on" of the most prominent
ririaens of the town, who, with Mrs.
Pritchett, arrived here last night on
the steamer Northwestern. All of
the Industries centering there are
active and will show considerable
progress tit's year, lie said.
The sawmill operated there is cut
'ir.g to rapacity. In addition to Its
to al- orders is doing considerable
export business, shipping during tbp
first part of flip season some 400,000
feet of clear spruce and recently
loading an additional 200,000 feet for
export through a Seatttle brokerage,
house.
The canneries in Wrangell and vi
cinity are running at capacity and a
plentiful supply of fish for them is
reported, said Mr. Pritchett. A fresh
fish bnslni ss Is being built np
through the efforts of the Wrangell
Commercial Club which secured Ice
for packing such shipments, a number
of which have been made to Seattle
recently.
The cannery road from the town
lias been virtually completed and traf
fic is moving over it. This was con
structed by the Bureau of Public
Roads and is of material benefit to
the town, he said. Plans for the con
Btruction of the Wrangell breakwater
have been drafted by the local engi
npers of the Board of TtiveTk and
Harbors and submitted'to Washing
ton for approval and It is expected
that work will be started on this
project in the near future.
The citizens of Wrangell this spring
put on a real cleanup and paintup
campaign which brightened up all
kinds of property and put the town
in good condition. It now presents
a very creditable appearence.
Wrangell celebrated the biggest oc
casion in its history in the recent
visit of President and Mrs. Harding
and their party, said Mr. Pritchett
Many out-of-town visitory came in for
the day and aided in the greeting
extended to the Nation's chief execu
tive and his guests. Petersburg citi
zens, with banners and flags, pame
by excursion boat and many people
came hy small boats from the West
C'oaHt. The event passed without a
single regrettable incident.
Mr. Pritchett will probably return
to Wrangell on the steamer Admiral
Rogers tonight, while Mrs, Pritchett
is expected to remain for several
days.

PROHIBITION IS
FARCE,DECLARES
YUKON'S MEMBER
(
I -
Capt. George Black Assails
| Policy Prohibiting Yukon
Liquor Shipments.
With a liquor cargo for the season
valued at $130,000 at Vancouver,
awaiting transportation to the North,
' Yukon has been dry since early In
June because of the United States law
jwhich prohibits the transportation of
(the cargo from Skagway over the
railroad to the border, according to
Captain George Black, member of
Parliament from Yukon. Captain
Black, with Mrs. Black is a passen
ger on the steamer Princess Alice
enroute to Dawson, after attending
the last session of Parliament at
Ottawa.
"In my opinion the United States
iis making a farce of the enforcement
, of prohibition in the United States,
and It is a selfish policy to prevent
the, Canadian government taking a
! cargo of liquor across the United
States territory, a distance which can
be covered in a few hours when the
liquor will be in bond and under
heavy guard,” declared Capt. Black.
“I spent a short time in New York
City recently and saw liquor served
openly. My observation has convinc
ed me that liquor is used freely in
the United States, and that the Yu
kon should be deprived of its liquor
supply because the panhandle of Alas
ka breaks into the transportation be
tween Canadian points by such a
short distance as that from Skagway
to the summit, appeals to me as an
unfair game on the part of the
United States government.
"Last winter a representative of
the Canadian government was sent to
Washington to take up the question
with the authorities there. He was
advised to have the purchase of the
season's supply made and that there
would probably be no interference in
l the transportation of the cargo over
| the United States Territory to Cana
i da. After the purchase was made
i and ready for shipment from Van
i eouver no change in the existing reg
1 illations was made."
Capt. Black said that the Canad1™''
I government officials are hoping
! against hope that the matter may b*
adjusted to permit, shipments Into the
Yukon from British Columbia. The
Hon. J. H. King. Minister of Public
Works for Canada, representing the
Canadian government, will place the
matter before President Warreu G.
Harding, when the President passes
through Vancouver on his return trip
j to the United States from Alaska,
I Capt. Black said.
Install Wireless Stations.
Several important measures affect
ing Yukon were put through by Par
liament at the last session, Captain
Black aid. Grants were allowed for
two wireless stations in the country,
one at Mayo and the other at Daw
son, to be installed this year. Next
--- , ___
I year It is planned to put til two
more stations, at Kt MeMurruy ami
Ft. Simpson, in the McKenzie river
country. When the installation ot
these stations is completed the old
Dominion telegraph line will be
dropped.
it is believed that the iustallatiou
ol' wireless stations and the abandon
ment of the land telegraph system
will save the government $25U,000
a year and better service will be
given. The latter system now costs
the government $275,000 a year to
keep up. Service is uncertain as in
the summer the line is damaged by
firest fires and in the winter it is
damaged by storms. ’ , .
Amends Constitution.
In a bill introduced by Captain
Black an amendment was made to
the Constitution of Yukon, greatly in
creasing the rights to trial by jury
and the right of appeal in mining
cases, and action for ilivorce and
legal separation. The law in these
yin slions, in Yukon, is now the same
as in all other Canadian Provinces.
Considerable agitation has arisen in
the past few years in Yukon over
these questions. The provisions of
the Constitution previous to the
amendment, were made in the early
years of the country, with little right
to jury trial because of the impossi
bility, on account of the sparseness
of settlement to obtain a jury for
trial.
Capt. and Mrs. Black plan to spend
the summer in Mayo and Dawson
and will return south in the fall.
Regulations prohibiting the trans
portatlon of liquor cargoes through
th<; United Slates and Alaska to for
eign countries was put In affect last
year. At the time the Yukon liquor
supply for last season was at Van
couver ready for sbipmeut to the
north and a special grant was given
for Its transportation from Skagway
to Summit.
