LONDON, July Girls of the
Victorian era were just as friyol-

lieves Dowager Lady Raglan, a
descendant of Charles ii through
her grandmother, Lady Lavinia
CORVALLIS.
Lady Raglan was a member OF
Victorian society in it's most ex-
elusive period. She discredits the
prevailing idea that the Victorian
girl was strictly chaperoned, and
never received a proposal unless
her suitor had first asked per-
mission from the sidewhiskered
father of fiction.
''The truth is in those days men
proposed direct to the girl Of
their choice" Lady Raglan said.
"In some ways the girls of that
period had far more opportunity
OF knowing men than is the
case nowadays.

4 And a Delighted Yacl,tsma'l

Lua, short for Howard Luallyn.
is one of the most important per-
sonages in the White-PinkertoE-
Beck party of writers, that arrived
in Juneau Thursday evening. Con
sidoring the distinction OF the
other members of the party, it
will be understood that Lua Is
no ordinary trash, for he keeps
up his end as a gentleman and a
traveller as well as any of them,
though only years old. He IS
of beautiful dark reddish brown
color, and shows his aristocratic
Irish Terrier ancestry in every
movement and each glance OF his
lovely brown eyes.
He is an experienced cruiser,
and loves the boat and water bet
ter than the shore, according TO
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Pinkertoni
to whom he belongs.
During the seventeen months
which Lua has belonged to his
present owners he has cruised
practically all OF the time. and for
one stretch of six months never
slept ashore.

Lua is more than mere pas
senger, and feels a very real m
terest in the craft on which he
lives so much of the time. One
of his self appointed duties is a
complete survey of the boat each
night when the family retires.
For some time the problem If
burying biscuits worried Lua. The
Pinkertons realizing what was
troubling the dog, pondered ovef
a remedy which threatened this
happiness of their pet on ship
board. 1T was finally discovered
that a coil of rope answered the
purpose and satisfied Lua and
since then his biscuits have been
regularly buried under the piles
of rope.
There is utter devotion between
Lua and eleven-year-old Barbara
Pinkerton. They have small
dinghy which is for their own
use exclusively. and they spend
many hours together while the
elder Pinkertons are evolving plots

NEW CASE ARE
HEARD TODAY
Wickersham S New Iniunc-
ton Case Taken Up
Right to Sue Debated

The question of the right of
taxpayers to invoke interposition
of the courts to restrain the ex-
penditure of Territorial funds, ap-
propriated by the Territorial legis-
lature, was argued in the u. S.
District Court today before Judge
T. M. Reed in the latest suit
brought by Judge James Wicker
sham against Treasurer Walstein
G. Smith. After hearing the argu-
ments, Judge Reed announced he
would consider the question few
days before rendering an opinion
Judge Wickersham appeared for
himself, Eugene Wacker and ID. w.
Hiskins, both of Ketchikan, who
joined with him as plaintiffs in
the action. The case was up to
day on demurrer filed last week
by Attorney General Rustgard.
Is Municipal Corporation
Counsel for the plaintiffs con.
tended that the Territorial gov
ernment was in effect a municipal
corporation and as such was sub
ject to suit by individual taxpay
ers; that 1t did not have the i'm
munity from being sued which il
possessed by the State and Fed
eral governments. This was denied
by ]. A. Hellenthal, who with
Attorney General Rustgard appear
ed for the defense. He argued that
the grant of power to govern was
contained in the Territorys con
stitution exactly as are the grants
of States. The difference. hi
said, was not in the grants, bui
in their sources, the source o.
the Territorial constitution beint
Congress while the States derived
their constitutional powers from

Judge Rustgard suggested to the
Court that the power to maintaia
actions of the nature of the pre-
sent case was vested in the A.

passed by the Legislature in 1929
