Mrs. H. H. Perry and Child Had Trying
Time Getting Into United States.
Mrs. H. H. Perry and her fye-month-
old son, recently of York, England, came
Thursday from Montreal and were met
by her brother in law, Eugene II. Perry,
who took them in his car TO the home of
his mother in Hancock, where they will
remain for the present Mrs. Perry 3
husband, who took up land in British
Columbia several years ago was a mem
Der of the Canadian army and saw about
two and one-half years of overseas sery-
ice. He met and married his wife during
that time. On his return to Canada on a
furlough a few weeks ago with hopes OF
a discharge from service, he was sur
prised, in common with several other
married men similarly situated, to learn
that his wife and child had not arrived,
as he supposed, on a steamer accompany
ing his own. Having wired her from
Montreal TO travel from that city to
Bethel and having requested his brother
to meet her, he went ON to Vancouver to
attend to urgent private concerns, not
dreaming of the trials awaiting his wife.
On her arrival at Montreal she found the
immigration OllitldtS OpNNliAlt uuN ipA -

States. Commissioner Clark thought he
could do nothing and so wired Eugene
Perry at considerable length President

a direct appeal wired Senator Dilling-
ham at Washington, d. c., and in few
hours, through the immigration bureau
there, relief came to the brave woman
and her baby, who now are enjoying the
hospitality of one of the pleasantest
homes in the upper White river valley
