ANOTHER BIB CAME
 HUNTING PARTY GOEs
 SOUTH MUCH PLEASED

Success marked the hunting party which Mel Horner took the Interior a few weeks ago and which returned to Seward enroute back to their homes in the East. So much so, in fact, that long before the hunt was completed the men were planning on the time when they would returnl to Alaska for another big game hunt.
 The party comprised Dr. 0. F. Boys of Kalamazoo, Mich, Howard Cooper from the same city and pr. c. Gillette. Niles. Mich, is his home town. Met Homer, was in charge and other guides were Alec Bolem and J. P. Sherman of Healy. Eric Eckman was one of the packers. Leaving Seward on September 12 they went directly to the headwaters of the Healy river and every member got their limit of sheep and were i'm mensely satisfied with them.
 They then came down to Cantwell, where, hunting from the roadhouse of Carlson's, they bagged their limit on caribou. While in this vicinity MT. Cooper was fortunate in shooting a fine grizzly which was the only one seen on the entire hunt. The bear was we'll fured and was far better than the average specimen, according to MT. Horner.
 l pr. Boys and Mr. Cooper both had moving picture cameras with them and it is said they obtained just as much sport from shooting with the camera as they did with guns. In one instant they were able to get within 50 yards of silver grey fox carrying off a ground squarrel, apicture which they value highly.
 Good, bad and indifferent weather was encountered on the hunt through as a whole climatic conditions were favorable.
 This was their first hunt in the Ter ritory and the next time they come back it will be for brown bear. The three Fasteners departed Saturday night on the s. s. Yukon for Seattle.

CHUL|TNA NEWS

Barney Nc .Cafferty, section fort man at Hurricane, Mile 2S1, with his crew of three men have their section in pretty good shape for the winter Hurricane section at Mile 279 is where the Alaska Railroad track is the near est to Mount Nc Kinley, being only 39 miles away. There also is seen the best view of the gigantic mountain, view that is unsurpassed anywhere on the entire railroad The late Presi- dent Harding stopped at that point to see it while enroute to Fairbanks.
 Bill Chapel section foreman at Chulitna, with his brother Grant, are keeping this section up in fine shape. Located on a wonderful flat, about 8 mile square, this section is on the ex- treme southern point of the Chulit- na Pass, being the entrance point. To the North, Indian river and Portage, lay to the East where big mining ac- tivity is under way and to which re- zion leads the new wagon road. Near Chulitna is some of the greatest grey ling streams in Alaska and lots of fishing sports from Curry come here to spend weeks at time.
 Hundreds of caribou are now re- ported running between Broad Pass and Nc Kin1ey Park and plenty of hunters are coming along for their winters meat supply. It is a shame to see hudreds of these handsome ami mals killed and left to spoil for want of cold storage This loss is going to every year and is nothing new to the folk living along the line. Caribou kill ed bafore November spoils very fast and is tainted in about ten days if not taken very good care and kept cool.

FRESH KILLED CHICKENS FROM LONGS RANCH, AT FRYE BRUHN.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-02-25

that separates their families that they
had never met until a mutual friend
happened to introduce them at dance
given for the benefit of Wilmington
charity.
The young man is not at all ashamed
Of his humble origin and as he and the
heiress sat between dances in quiet
nook under the palms he did not hest
tate to explain that he was the freckle-
faced boy who in years past she must
have often seen playing by the roadside
when she rode out on horseback or in
one of her fleet of motor cars.
Morgan has long since outgrown the
freckles of his boyhood and has de-
veloped into very good looking young
man. He is more the type you would
expect to find playing hero's role in
the movies than toiling over ledgers and
adding machines.
So Elizabeth du Pont thought from
the minute'she laid eyes on him. She
was fascinated not only by his sturdy
good looks but by his excellent dancing,
his pleasing manners and the bright
things he had to say. And Morgan
thought the vivacious heiress the pref
test, most charming girl he had ever
met.
Before the charity dance was over
%,o NOD
neighbors unknown to each other for so
long were exceedingly good friends. That
was the first of many meetings. AS has
been said the telephone clerk proved
himself swift and skillful worker in
courtship and the announcement of
Elizabeth du Points engagement tc
marry him followed close on the heels
of their first meeting.
Now this was the sort of love match
to which the young woman's parents
might have been expected to raise seri-
Gus objections. Richard Morgan, while
most praiseworthy young man, is en-
tirely lacking in the wealth and social
position that are SO frequently de-
manded in the fance of fashionable
heiress.
But if Elizabeth's parents were seri-
>ously displeased by her romance they
were wonderfully successful in conceal
ing the fact. They beamed on their
pretty daughter and her fance and &C.
quiesced with every evidence of perfect

All this sounded very omlnouS
for the chances of Richard Morgan
becoming the husband of Elizabeth du
Point The "indefnite" postponement
of society heiress' wedding frequently
has way of meaning that it is never
going to take place.
And what is the explanation of the
mystery of the sudden change in Eliza
beth du Points plans?
The most generally accepted theory
is that the Philip du Points, while out
wardly agreeable to their daughters
proposed marriage, were really bit
terly opposed to it and have been and
are still doing all they can to prevent it.
This seems to be a favorite strategy
with modern parents who find them
selves displeased with a daughters
choice of a sweetheart. 1t was the plan
followed by Colonel and Mrs. H. H.
Countess Salm, fell in love with poor
and socially obscure Jimmie" Thomp-
son.
Millicent's parents pretended to agree
to early marriage but they really didn't
intend that it should ever take place,
early or late. They whisked their daugh-
ter off to Europe, ostensibly to buy a
Paris trousseau. Month after month
they kept her there, giving her such a
good time and surrounding her with so
many eligible young men of wealth and
title that poor Jimmie" earning his
living in New York office, soon faded
out of the picture. By the time of the
heiress' long delayed return to America
she was quite willing to break the en-
gagement that her parents secretly con-
sidered so unfortunate.
1t seems quite possible that the
Philip du Points have pursued similar
tactics and have been devoting them
selves to subtle and determined efforts
to convince Miss Elizabeth of the un-
wisdom of her matrimonial choice. If
this is the case, the mysterious postpone
ment of the wedding would indicate that
they have been partially successful. The
heiress who was eager for speedy mar
riage would seem row to be willing to
think things over little longer
Can the delayed wedding and the op-
position of her family destroy the girls
love for Richard Morgan and make her
break the engagement? Will she finally
come to the conclusion that it would be
wealth or social position? Or will what
ever forces arrayed against her only

II can't say when the wedding
will take place." said the heiress
"Mr. Morgan and l are still en-
gagged and are hoping to be mar
ried some time. But everything is
so indefinite that no date can be
set for the wedding l don't know
whether it will be next spring or
next fall"

make her all the more de-
termined to go on with the
love match that began so
brightly last spring?
For examples to impress
their daughter that it is a
mistake to marry a poor
man the Philip du
Points did not need
to look outside their
own family. The re-
cent matrimonial ex-
perience of Alicia
