PIONEER OF 1884 IS AFTER GAM E INSTEAD OF GOLD

Mount Juneau isn't a hole in the ground now, but it looked con- siderably higher than it seems at present to T. L. Moffett when he first came to Alaska He qualities as a sourdough. He helped to. run the first tunnel into the first producing mine in the district. and when he started 70 invade the Yukon, the pioneer ore reduction mill of this district had just start ed dropping it's stamps.
 MT. Moffett, with Mrs. Moffett, is making his annual visit to AL aska. He hunts wild game now in- stead of gold as of yore. Mrs. Moffett seeks and finds relief here from the oppressive heat that ob- tains in summer time in Texas.
 Hunting in Cook Inlet
 Since May, MT Moffett has been hunting in the Cook Inlet country with considerable success Now he is in Juneau intent on organizing a bear hunt before his return home next month.
 MT Moffett scaled the Chilkoo. on his way to the Interior in 1885 From Stewart River bars that year he mined $5,O00. In the summers of 1886 and 1887, he prospected creeks along the Yukon as far as the Koyukuk, going up that river several miles, but the gold he found those two seasons no more than paid his expenses. He re- turned from the Koyukuk to the Fortymile in the summer of 1887 and then with Gus Brown of this city poled up the Yukon He went to the States late that fall
 Wanted to Come Back
 For thirty-six years after I left Alaska in 1887, I had the urge every Spring to return" he said today, but became engaged in business and man of family in piiC otdJCo, dliQ COulu IlOL make the trip until seven years ago. Since then, I have been North every year but one. My sons are worrying about our business enter priSeS now. For the rest of my life l don't intend to miss any more annual visits to the Territory.
 Hunting is my chief occupation at present. I like to indulge in it in Alaska better than anywhere else. I meet some of my early acquaintances occasionally, but they are not numerous. In my yearly sojourns along the Yukon and in various other parts of the North, I have made many new ocquaintances, am still making them and hope to continue to make them. The faces I see are new, but the spirit of adventure and helpfulness is the same as of old

mond, N. r. At Utica in 1873, their only child, Raymond Mac donald Alden, was born. His ill., health, during his youth, led them to Florida where they lived for a number of years. From Pennsyl- vania, where their son attended the State University and later was a member of the faculty, they moved to California, settling at Palo Alto, the family home since that time.
 Among "Pansy's" best known books are the Chautauqua Series, the Ester Ried series and the Life of Christ series. For number of years, 1873 to 1896, she edited the juvenile periodical, "Pansy.' She was, throughout her long life, an active church worker. The material for most of her stories was drawn from her experiences as a pastors wife. Whenever" as she expressed it, things went wrong, went home and wrote a book to make them come out right"
 Mrs. Aldens husband died March 29, 1894, at Swarthmore, Pa., and her son September 27 of the same year at Philadelphia. Undaunted she returned to the Palo Alto home which she shared with her daugh- ter -in-law and grandchildren, and continued her writing. From 1926 the aged writer had been confined to her room most of the time be- cause of injuries suffered in that year. First she was hurt in an au- tomobile accident and later her hip was fractured in fall. She contin- ued to write, however, and among her last works was an autobiogra- phical volume, Memories of Yes terday."

BAY STATE BOOK
 REVISION BEATEN
Banned in Boston" Likely to
 Remain as Stock Phrase

Boston, March 19 (UP)-"Banned in Boston" apparently will continue to be a stock phrase.
 A we'll organized campaign to l,o- eralize Massachusetts book censor ship law ran smack against a stone wall of opposition in the house Of representatives yesterday.
 The senate bill under which a book would have been considered as a whole and under which it, would not be possible to ban a book merely because it contained one or more isolated passages considered obscene, was so revised by the hour that the censorship law will remain practl- cally in it's present form.
 An amendment striking out the important considered as whole section of the senate bill was adopted by the house, which then proceeded to pass the bill to be engrossed by a vote of 121 to S9 after fiery debate.
 The current law, permitting the banning of a book containing even a phrase or sentence considered i'm moral, has resulted in recent years in the removal from local bookstore shelves of many works, some of them world famous.
