ATTACKED BY BROWN
 BEAR AND KILLS IT

Nick Poolas, oldtime prospector and trapper, had a narrow escape the other day when he was charged by large brown bear in the vicin- ity of Funter Bay.
 While returning from prospect ing trip in Excursion Inlet, Poolas and two other men stopped at Fun ter Bay to spend short time deer hunting. Poolas started up near by creek and the other two men went in the opposite direction and followed the beach As he round- ed a turn in the creek, Poolas came face to face with a large brown bear and, as his only weapon consisted of 30-30 Winchester rifle, he decided not to take any shots at it but turned and slowly walked away trusting that the bear would not attack him. However the bear started after him and so Poolis crossed the creek, which was quite deep and as he reached the other bank he saw that the bear was close on his heels. As the animal reached the middle of the creek, Poolas took three shots at it but none of them stopped it's progress and only served to madden it. Poolas then hid behind tree trunk which the bear charged and demolished with one sweep of its huge paw. Four more shots were then fired before the bear was killed.

THE LEATHERNECK" IS
 COMING, COLISEUM

One of the biggest pictures made by Pathe this season, ".The Leather neck" starring William Boyd and Alan Hale, Robert Armstrong, which will be on view at the Coliseum Wednesday. The story is an origi- nal by Elliott Clawson, one of the creators of "Skyscraper," and it was directed by Howard Higgin.
 Diane Ellis plays opposite the star. The picture is tensely dra- matic and there is an abundance of relishable comedy.
 The story deals with the amaz- ing adventures of three Uni t e d States Marines in China They be- come involved in revolution and when Calhoun's bride is stolen by an adventurer, they go in search of her with highly dramatic results. The story is told by Calhoun at a courtmartial and is tensely gripping.

METAL HINGES FOR BONES
 ARE APPROVED BY FRENCH

PARIS, Oct. 28.-Man and not nature is blamed for the indiffer- ent success surgeons have had in joining badly broken bones with metal.
 Before the Academy of Medicine, pr. Pierre Bazy presented the re- search work of two colleagues whose years of effort were said to have proven that nature will utilize mans metal devices if the work is well done.
 Dr.. Contremoulin, an x-ray ex- pert, and Dr. Maurice Robineau found that surgeons usually placed wires, rods and plates on broken bones with too little regard for the science of engineering and general ly failed to fasten the metal well

AMER. LEGION SHOW TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Cappy Kicks Will Be Pre- sented- Director Dodge
 Says Cast Is Fine

Tonight will mark the debut of the comedy @Cappy Kicks" in the city of Juneau, and the great de- mand for tickets indicates that all those participating in the com edy will play to capacity houses. Sanford Dodge, professional di- rector and. actor, stated this morn ing that the cast, individually and collectively, had rehearsed conscien- tiously for the past few weeks and had thoroughly mastered the varied and difficult roles. He also added that he found the members of the cast to be particularly talented group of actors and that he was more than pleased with the pro- gress made in enacting some of the most difficult scenes.
 A dress rehearsal of several hours duration was held yesterday after noon on the Coliseum stage and with the addition of a few finish ing touches everything is now all set and ready to go. The stage effects and the lighting are under the cap- able direction of E. M. Policy and Ned Lemieux The building of some special scenery and the in- stallation of appropriate lighting will help make the production both artistic and interesting. Those who have enjoyed "Cappy Kicks" in the past, either on the screen or on the stage, and those who have never had the opportunity, will find in this production a real dramatic treat.
 The play itself is wholesome, poppy comedy and is based upon that famous character immortalized in story by Peter B. Kyne and in drama by E. H. Rose. A delicate love story of a boy and girl who try to put something over on the old man runs through the play. The clever way in which the char acters are portrayed is one of the best and most outstanding parts of the play. @
 Muriel Jarman, Homer G. Nord- ling, Hazel Petrich, Frank Metcalf; w. J. Leivers, Edward Hermann, Edna Policy, Harry Stonehouse, and Sanford Dodge are members of the cast and, a c eording to MT. Dodge, it is one of the best casts he has ever had for the play.
 In addition to the play itself, Miss fleece Graves will entertain the audience by rendering several love- ly selections on the harp. Miss Graves, who is a local girl, is a gifted and charming harpist and music lovers of Juneau are being given rare treat in hearing her to- night and tomorrow night.
 Frederick Dobler and Albert King will also present novelty banjo act which is well worth hearing. Dick McGinn, organist at the Coli scum, will play a medley overture consisting of appropriate sea-going melodies, thereby making the eve ming well balanced with real good comedy, music of high character, and novelty music never before heard in Juneau.
 The curtain will rise at 8:15 sharp tonight and tomorrow night at the Coliseum Theatre. Tickets may be secured at the ticket office

for granted that these reports will,

clearly foreshadoWed and justified
the revival of public confidence in
the financial markets. The various
steel companies thus far reporting
for the first six months have shown
almost unbelievable gains in net
earnings. Republic Steel is a case in
point. with net almost 80 per cent
over a year ago. Railroad reports
also should make very pleasant read
ing. Disappointing reports from the
few industries that are not doing so
we'll, have been discounted market
wise in stationary or gradually dis
appointing stock prices and should
not be a disturbing factor to the
market as a whole We have excel
lent reasons for believing that bank
ing sources regard the credit strain
as having passed the peak with in
dicationS that gradual easement is
to be anticipated. With such a pic
ture of almost uniform prosperity

son for changing our friendly atti-

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Farm-
ers who we're lucky enough to own
good sized farms had the best
year in 1923 since the big farm
slump of 1921, the department OF
agriculture reported today
They averaged S1.334 IN cash re-
turns. against $9l7 for the low year
of 1922. In addition, food raised on
the farm and consumed at home was
estimated worth an average OF 1858.
The department emphasized that
the cash returns included the re-
turn on the labor of the farmer and
his family, estimated at an average
of S768 at ordinary farm wages.
Rerducing this item, the farmer
got 1856 in cash and 1863 in food,
besides his shelter and fuel as a re-
turn on the average investment of
$4,000.
Expenses were higher in 1928 than
in 1927 averaging S1.516, the de-
partment found. Increases in in

states.

CHICAGO, July pa return to
hot, dry weather over western Can
ada and the relatively strong Liver
pool market, was sufficient encour-
agement to recall a bulliSh tone to
wheat trading here today. Corn and
oats advanced with the major cereal.
At the opening wheat was "a to

changed.
Southwestern wheat producers
have been rushing their new grain
to market, to obtain the higher
prices resulting from the drought
conditions over Canada and the
American spring crop belt, and this
is bringing an increasing amount of
hedging sales in the futures trading.
Exports have been rather slow, but
the unfavorable weather in Argen-
tina and Australia is expected to i'm
prove the situation shortly.
Corn appears to be in a deadlock
between the generally favorable crop
weather and the continued good
cash demand. There is said to be
large short interest, however, and
this should work for higher prices
when the wheat market bulgeS.
Oats have had their own bulliSh
crop news, but the action in wheat

trading. While suffering from lack of
interest, futures have advanced ma
