 An Alaskan Chamber of Com merce has sought to have the Bear utilized as floating museum for Americas Northwestern Territory. The Explorers Club has put 10 bid for the ships bell. There are officers in the Coast Guard who say the vessel will ultimately be training vessel for the service. pro- bably at San Diego, Cal.
 Doing duty since the early 'S0s. the Bear has been known t8 the Esquimos as "oomiak puk" tpow- erful big ship).. Recently Mrs. Aneva Mattson. a native born Es- kimo, educated at Carlisle Indian Sshool in Pennsylvania wrote of ln" Bear to Coast Guard head quarters:
 "The Bear has written her beau tiful heroic deeds and devoted faithful service in our hearts and .lvaa as the years and slime nav" gone by. She has brough. hope and light from civilization to our heats strong and secure. The Bear will be the Eskimos' most reveren. ms- mory fin the years to come"

 wheat.
 Of punkin pie an 'taters sweet, Hogs. sheep and cattle here abound Coal, gas and oil here are found. Oh Kansas land, Sweet Kansas
 land.
 As on my dug out roof stand, look away across the plains And wonder if twill ever rain, And when l turn and view my corn think I'll never sell my farm. This State from liquor has been
 free.
 For wine the porter gives you tea, The industrial court this State has
 tried:
 We hope twill soon be nation wide The drought 1t killed my fields of
 wheat, The biissards froze my COWS and
 sheep,
 The cyclone took my house and
 barn.
 Tho yellow sunhowers choked my
 corn.
