Miss Liberty Worden Be- comes the Bride of
 Louis M. Royal

Word has been received here of the marriage of Miss Liberty Wor. den and Louis NJ. Royal at Scranton. Pennsylvania, by the parents of the bride, Mir and Mrs. J. E. Worden. The ceremony took place at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, on Thurs day, October 4. The news of the wedding came as a complete surprise at this time to the friends of the contracting parties.

 The bride is Alaskan born and re- ceived her education in WrangelI and Juneau. She was the first pupil to complete her high school educa- oil hn,, in 1920. During the following year. Miss Worden took the Normal course in the Juneau school receiving her teaching certificate from that insti- tuition. She conducted private for three months in Wrangell the next year and was a member of the Wrangell School fac-. ulty last year, teaching the third and fourth grades. In order to further fit herself for teaching, she made plans early in the year for att tending the Bellingham Normal this winter, but these plans were frus- trated by Dan Cupid.
 MT. Royal also taught in Wrangell last year, having charge of mathe- matics, science and athletics in the Wrangell High School. Having been prominent In Boy Scout work before coming to Alaska, he was ap- pointed Special Field Commissioner for Alaska while here He was reelected to teach here, but de- cided to accept a position in Penn sylvania instead.

SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
By J. w. Pritchett, Acting Clerl

The annual campaign of the Sal vation Army for funds to maintain and, extsnd ks- work in Wrangell and throughout southeast Alaska, will be off to good start on Tuesday next. A canvass will be made and run on until Saturday.
 A committee composed of J. G. Grant, Donald Sinclair, F. E. Bron- son, Leo Mccormack, H. D. Camp bell, Harry Coulter, Arnt Sorset and others, are helping the Army with the campaign in Wrangell. J. w Pritchett is publicity secretary and A. E. Gurr, campaign treasurer.
 The Army has been at work in AL aska for twenty-five years, the first workers coming north with the gold rush of '98. Work was first started at Skagway for prospectors and min CTS who had met with misfortune or sickness. AS the work extended Staff-Captain Robt. Smith was sent to Wrangell to direct the native mis- sions of the Army that were being opened in several native villages Wrangell became the headquarters for Army work in Alaska, and is still the center of it's operations. Under the leadership of Adjutant Hakkirk Adjutant Carruthers, and Staff-Cap. tain Jaynes the work has grown un. til now the Army has twelve native missions and two white missions al Juneau and Ketchikan. Staff-CaptaiL Jaynes has been transferred to an other field and Staff-Captain Car ruthers has returned to Alaska to di- rect operations.
 The people of Alaskan towns and cities all appreciate the uplifting work of the Salvation Army, and Wrangell has always been in the front line in giving practical aid to the organization. Last year splen- did total of $245 was rolled up in this town, and it is to be hoped this total will be passed before the cam paign closes.

THE RIGHT KIND
 OF PUBLICITY

AS often stated Alaska has suffer- ed greatly in consequence of misin- formation concerning conditions here. There are many thousands of people in the states who think of walruses, polar bears and icebergs the moment they hear Alaska men, tioned. And, unfortunately, it often happens that the visitors to Alaska do not do anything toward correct ing these false impressions, but on the contrary assist in confirming the erroneous beliefs which people in general have regarding Alaska.
 Dealers in photographic views and picture post cards find that there is always a heavy demand for pictures that would give the impression that all of Alaska is a region of eternal gratifying to find some one occasion ally who believes in telling the truth about Alaska.
 John Hooper, president of the Tourists Societies, who recently made a survey of Southeastern Alas ka, took away with him a number of views calculated to give the stranger some legitimate information about Southeastern Alaska-that portion of the Territory which is so delight fully tempered by the Japan current.
 MT. Hooper had picture taken of himself standing in a flower garden in Wrangell. Alaska, on October 1. He had other pictures taken showing the big game trophies brought into Wrangell from the Cassiar while he was here. While here MT. Hooper was constantly making note of such facts as local grown strawberries be- ing for sale by Wrangell grocers in October.
 This is the kind of publicity that Alaska needs, but seldom receives. It is the common belief throughout the United States that navigation to all of Alaska is closed for six months of the year. The majority of the people in the States would believe there had been misprint if they should read that strawberries were picked in Wrangell on this 18th day of October, and that Wrangell gar dens are still full of beautiful flow CTS.
 It was good stroke on the part oi the Wrangell commercial Club in in. -'ting Mir Hooper to visit Wrangell He is a man who comes in contact with many thousands of people, g large number of whom are eager for information about Alaska, and what he tells them regarding con hindrance to Alaska.

INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM DR. R. J. OWEN
Chula Vista, California,
 October 8, 1928.

SHuld lotd, Sdiihoi hAa, October 8, 1923. Dear MT. Pritchett
 Mrs. Diven and I reached Seattle safe and sound and were met there by a nephew from Grandview, Wash The nephew had good car and showed that he is good driver. "The Divens' enjoyed that two hun dred and twenty-five mile ride out to Grandview, for roads and scenery were alike good. We were at Grand view one week.
 From Grandview we went to Port. land, where we spent another de- |lightful week with old friends, got my new glasses made. then took in the Columbia Highway with a friend who wanted to show us what good choice he had made in selecting his new car. The car quite won my ap- proval, and the Highway exhausted my vocabulary of praise. From Port land we came south by rail, stopping overnight in San Francisco. We had a very clear and close view of the seven wrecked destroyers the day we came down from Frisco to Los Ange- les-a sight to astonish anybody
 Everybody is on wheels down here. and wherever dust can be found it is kept stirred. Where my daughter lives on the TiaJuana highway. tho roar of motors ceases not by night or day. Everybody seems to be doing at least the thirty miles an hour allow ed by the statute, while many of them make the "thirty-mile folks look like they are driving backwards. Such conditions do not attract me at all, and I am not surprised that the State seriously considers statute re- quiring a rigid examination of the heads and nerves of drivers before is- suing new licenses.
 In Portland First Church, saw the auditorium packed to the re- motest corner of the balcony on a Sunday morning, and very many men were there. Last Sunday morning, in an equally large auditorium and with an equally eloquent minister in the pulpit, looked over a scattered au- dience of elderly women and rather old men. Perhaps that was an "off" day.
 have done no preaching and shall do none during my vacation People like to hear about Alaska, and I like to talk about the great coun- try, so I have promised to deliver an address on that subject on the evening of October 21st in San Diego.
 Last Sunday Mrs. Diven and I at tended the organ recital at Balboa Park It was splendid! We have in- vited ourselves to go often. We have our eyes on few musical and edu cational entertainments that are due between now and the holidays, then we shall lay our course toward the land we shall ever love best.
 With kind regards to everybody.
