Sam Kincaid runs a good one. Mr. Burns, of the Alaska Steam ship Co., Skaguay, was in town last Thursday evening' Parties who have seen attorney Rodman, at Ketchikan, say he is kept quite busy at his profession in his new home. Mr. McHugh, of the St. Michaels Trading Co., arrived up on the Seattle, after a three week’s stay in Sound towns. The City of Seattle was in Sat urday morning with a good load of freight and several passengers, bound for the north. Marshal Grant left last Saturdav on quite an extended circuit thro* out southeastern Alaska, on busi ness connected with his office. Mr. Wm Fieekert came upon the steamer Alki last Week and spent several days visiting old friends, returning th ketchikan on the Far allon. Deputy marshal Shoup of Ketch ikan passed up on the City of Se attle bound for Junea with a cou ple of prisoners. Mrs. Shoup ac companied her husband to this place and stopped off to visit Mrs. Bronson till Mr, S.’s return. Mr. Tracy, of the Alaska S. S. Co., was in town one day last week and imparted the information to the Sentinel man that beginning at an early date the steamer Dol phin is to run regularly to Wran gell. This will give the town an improved service. Attorney George Clark, secretary of the Alaska Gold Mining Asso ciation. returned last wesk from Ketchikan, where he had been in the interest of the Association. He has been busy mailing notices to members, calling a meeting for Jan 15th to determine whether the Basin group shall be sold for $50, 000, or whether a stamp mill shall be put in. Notice is also given that the price of shares will be ad vanced from 10c. to 15c. per share on March 1st, 1903. Be careful of fire! Remember a small spark might be the means of reducing our town to ashes. Wrangell should have a night watchman—a man who will watch. It might cost a little but it might save much. In coming over from the Narrows last Friday night the schooner Vol taire had a hard time battling against wind and waves. Edward Ludecke has moved into the room formerly occupied by F. E. Cagle, next door to Sinclair’s, and W'ill o]>en a shoe shop. The Farallon unloaded 75 tons of coal on the dock last Thursday night for J. G. Grant. John pro poses that people shall not get cold. Dr. Stanton objects to double weddings. He says two seperate weddings means two serrate din ners; a double wedding but one. See? In lieu of a permit to send the Sentinel throng the mails as sec ond class matter, it costs $8.85 per issue to mail it. This will soon be overcome, however, as application has been made for second-class rates. A can of that excellent “Choice Red Alaska Salmon.” put up by the Pillar Ba\ Packing Co., finds its way to this office through the kindness of Mr. P. 0. McCormick It is useless to say that it is of first class quality, the same as several other brand’s put up at Point Fllis. And here comes Capt. \V. F. Thomas, the old customs inspect or, looking as hearty as can he, af ter a month or more spent in Se attle. Capt. has coueluded to re main in Wrangell for some time to come, and will surely be welcome. He left “Jack” Norton in Seattle enjoying himself. The Palmer brothers, A. E. and 0. C., are off for thetf old home at. Stanford, after putting in two yrs in Alaska, most of the time engagl ed in logging, and are So wel satisfied with the country that they will return in the spring. Both are fine voung men, and the Ses Tin’el wishes them a safe journey and a pleasant visit at the old home. They will probably exper ience colder weather in Nebraska than has evor been known at this place. Thanksgiving Day. Sentinel goes to gross Wednesday this week. Mrs. Rosenthal is at the springs near Seattle, for her health. A. M. Tibbetts, the old logger, and a helper, left the fore part of the week to pitch a logging camp out near the Narrows, " Percy Brenner, nephew of M. R. Rosenthal, arrived on the City of Seattle, Saturday. He comes from Minneapolis, Minn., and will re main for an indefinite period. In our rush last week the types made us say that Peter Jenson furnishes meals for ‘"25c.” Its no such a thing; He can’t put up the meal he does for that money, but 35 cents. The Sentinel man and his fami ly have been enjoying Yamhill (Or.) apples far several days. Don’t mention this to Patenaude, because in his mind nothing is good that does not come from Tacoma. Among the late arrivals at Wran gell is the family of Mr. Hanlund, the engineer ut our lumber mills. The family consists of wife and three children, who have come to make their home with us. Mesdames Kincaid and Schuler have made arrangements to take charge of the Olympic restaurant i>n and after the first of Oecemiter. .Mr. .iensen, who 1ms served this public ,-o well, contemplates taking a trip to the old country on a visit. Cit izen A1 Osborne is going ahead with improvements on his property in west Wrangell, getting ready for building an addition to his house. Some wiseacres say that Mr. Osborne contemplates—well,there's a woman mixed up in the case. Mr. J. McCullum, who is looking after the Santa Anna cannery, was in town several days during the week. By the wny, Mr. McC. is an old Newport, Or., man. and while here he mailed several articles of curios to his family at Newport. The Ragnhlltl arrived iti port Saturday With Messrs. Hofstad and Wm. Taylor, who had been over on KuiU island in quest of game. They succeeded in capturing elevr en deer. Capt. I, M. Hofstad says that Friday night they eipetlehced the Wildest weather he has ever seeH on this coast, and they had to run for shelter with the trim little Vessel, C. of C. Meeting. At 9 o'clock last Thursday eve ning, 17 members of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce were present, and the presidena rapped it to ord er. The roll was called, after which the minutes of the October meeting were read and approved. Mr. McCormack, of the fire com mittee reported that as the old lad ders were very heavy, he had had two lighter ones made, and that they had been placed on racks at the McKinnon building. Also that the buckets are in the Lynch build ing, near Mr. Jenson's resturant. The committee reported amend ments to By-Laws, and after slight changes the amendments were ad opted. The changes made are in the section regarding application for membership and also suspension or expulsion. The By-Laws were re-ferred to the committee for fur ther amending. It was on motion decided to have a special mecaing next Thursday evening, Dec. 4th. •Bills allowed; Ole Johnson, jnaking ladders and supplying hooks and racks,$4.00; J. T. Case, supjilies. .70 H. D. Campbell, stove pipe, .75. The bill for putting up stave, $2, was reffered back. As the second vice president has removed from town, the office was on motion declared vacant. The lease of the Card building for one year was signed by the Board of Directors and Mr. Card. The price stipulated for the room ia $50.00 per year. At 11 o,clock the meeting ad journed. “Mollie,” the trim little mare that has been eUch a familiar ob ject on our streets, where she had run the past two years, is no more, her carcass lying on the beach in the Western part of town. It is said she was killed by falling OVef a cliff. The animal belonged to Mike Lynch. Abotit the only necessity that comes extremely high in this sec tion of Alaska, Is fire-wood, which is sold at f?.5d per cord. This looks ft trifle peculiaf Ifi ft section so heavily timbered) but When it is Considered that it tttlist be boated and hftiltbcarted to Its destiHfttiort, it is Hot SO strange, after all. L. J; Cole is iiiipreving his resi* denCe* near BbnxjnRi. effieei The steamer Ira came in last Thursday with Messrs. Fames, Card and Gray, who had been out several days looking for timber and game. They went ns far south as Dixon’s Inlet, found some line tim ber and brought in six “insiuwich.” They also saw many evidences of mountain sheep, but got none. Capt. Albert Lee came in from Petersburg last Saturday, having been over there for some days. lie eays that considerable fishing is be ing done over at the Narrows; that but few herring are being caught, but that Ilulabutand Smelt are be ing taken in goodly numbers. To Marshal Grant belongs the credit of running through the press the first copy of the Alaska Sk.nti xel, and he took ns much pride in it as would a four-year-old boy with his first pair of red-topped boots. Mrs. Robert Reid received i he first copy printed. F. E. Smith has bonded the Gla cier Basin gold mining property to Harry Williams, representing a gold mining syndicate, for $75,000. This is said to be an excellent piece of property. Work will be begun on it in dead earnest about the 1st of next March. ■ —■ segw OLYM PIO Restaurant and Bakery* P. C. JENSON, Fro.
