In the Sentinel 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. October 1, 1914: There were several passengers from Wrangell to take the City of Seattle south last night, but when the vessel arrived in Wrangell, she had a capacity load and refused to take a one. This is something the steamship companies should try to give us a little better service in, as several boats lately have hit Wrangell the same way, and no matter how bad a person wants to go south, it is impossible. The companies always make it a point to save enough rooms from Skagway for Juneau and...

September 24, 1914: The waters here are teeming with silver herring and a new opportunity is extended to Wrangell to get busy and catch them and have a supply for the halibut fleet. There are several of the large boats here now and once it is known that the bait can be secured here many more will make Wrangell a regular calling place on their way to the fishing banks. The fishermen state that Wrangell is the only place in the country where they can get fresh bait in any quantity. Why can’t we get i...

With Mr. Warner in the field, we can feel assured the work will progress as...
September 10, 1914: The fire department was called out last Sunday to extinguish a fire in the house occupied by J.R. Bender, back of the St. Michaels Trading Company store. The fire started from distillate being spilled on a hot stove which flamed up and set fire to a tank used to supply an oil burner stove, which in turn flamed up and set fire to the house. The house is owned by P.C. McCormack. The fire came very close to being a disastrous one, but for the ready response of the fire boys, who extinguished it in fine shape, but only after...

In the Sentinel 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. September 3, 1914: Forest Supervisor Weigle was in town for a few days last week, and while here he went over and inspected the new Stikine trail. He reports the work as about finished, all that is left is a little rock and bridge work. This new trail is one of the greatest conveniences the government could give to the miners in the interior, and the Forest Service and Mr. Weigle in particular deserve great credit for the way they have overcome the many obstacles and built the trail. Signs will be p...
