GEORGE WASHINGTON—A SIGN
Throughout history doubting Thomases have de
manded a sign. Time and again this sign has been rear
ed up so that ah could see, and time after time man look
ed, but not heeded.
Our sign today is George Washington.
Driving a British king from American soil was the
least of Washington’s achievements. His greatest work
was in assisting in the architecture of the nation and in
imparting infallable advice to those who would carry on
after he had joined the immortals.
New as never before have the words and counsel of
the first American carried greater force, and nothing
could be added to give them vindication.
Tomorrow is the day when every American should
take down hi~ volume of the “Life of Washington” and
re-read bus fare veil address to Congress.
It is the greatest of great state papers, and the lum
inous wouis s tan a emblazoned as guide posts marking
the route back to the haven of political and spiritual
righteousness.
But how soon we forget. And what penalties we pay
for setting our own puny exaggerated ego against a col-1
ossus of the ages.
The Wrangell chapter, O. E. S.,
elected the following officers for
the ensuing year: Mrs. Frank S.
Barnes, worthy matron; E. C. G.
Anderson, worthy patron; Miss Ed
na Sinclair, associate matron;
Gunnar Engstrom, associate pa
ton; Miss Etolin Coulter, secreta
ry; L. M. Campbell, treasurer; Miss
Irene Coulter, condu^ress; Mrs.
May Gartley, associate conduc
tress.

Profiting by an experience in
having a close call when a trap
watchman’s shack went by the
board, A.E. Wadhams of Ketchi
kan has invented a safety trap
shack which has been recognized
by a big canning company, which
is installing them- The shack is
water-tight, bolted to the trap
and equipped with three heavy
spruce sills, which enables it to
float if torn from the trap in a
storm.

THIERS ILL SEEK
I PUN WHICH MIT
' SET I PRICE IEIEL
Plans for establishing a mini
mum price for troll-caught salmon
was to be discussed at a meeting
of the Trolling Vessel Owners’ As
sociation in Seattle recently.
Between 200 and 300 trolling ves- j
sels are represented in the asso
ciation.
The organization is sponsoring
a plan whereby it is hoped prices
of troll-caught salmon will be stab
ilized and a minimum set. The
trollers last year showed that un
less something is done along that
line most of the vessels will be
tied up before the season is over.
The plan is based on curtail
ment of the catch to meet falling
prices and to establish a proper
balance between supply and de
mand.
Trollers of Washington, Oregon
and Alaska are interested in the
movement.
