Big Game Hunt Fatal
 To Father WOOdley

Associated Press dispatches from Anchorage, Alaska, say that Father George Woodley, who has been miss ing near Chickaloon since October Tth, was found late Wednesday at the bottom of a deep ravine with his neck broken. The meager mes sage received at Anchorage did not state whether the priest had been found dead or alive, but Father Monroe of Wrangell yesterday re- ceived a telegram from Father Le- vasseur, chancellor of Alaska, now in Juneau, saying that he was kill ed in a fall from a cliff.
 Father WoCdley left Anchorage last week to go on a mountain sheep hunting expedition with his brother, Arthur, and Dan Kennedy, Anchorage merchant. He flew to Alaska from the states recently and has been at Nulato. He went to Anchorage to accompany Brother George Feltes. another flying mis- to his station at Holy Cross, on the lower Yukon, when he decided to stop over to do some big game hunting.

HUNTING TRIP CUT SHORT BY PORKY

Pat Kelly. Bennie Duffy and Cleve Bard had a hunting trip ten miles above Virginia Lake cut short Sunday when Kelly's French bull dog, Micky, had an argument with porcupine.
 Micky charged perky with dis astrous results to himself but with true bulldog tenacity held on until he was canine pin cushion with his whole body shot full Of quills. The boys marveled both that one porcupine had so many quills and that dog Of Micky's size had sur face enough to receive so many of the barbed points.
 They removed as many quills as they could before they carried him down the ten miles of trail to their gasboat and came back to town. In the absence of a veterinarian, a physician humanely got out of bed and assisted by James Loyett work ed several hours on the suffering Micky. His face was a mass of quills. They were In his ears and eyes and imbedded in his eyeballs. At present he is blind in one eye, and the blindness is probably per manent. Each day of this week Kelly has pulled out from 25 to 30 quills that had worked out in vari- ous parts of Micky's body.
 Micky may be French bulldog but he has a stout Irish heart to go with his name. It was quite apparent that he was suffering every agony from his baptism of quills, but not once did whimper escape him, although it is known that the bravest Of dogs usually cry most pitifully during such an ex- perience.

Mrs. Bronson Passes
 Away In Seattle

A message that brought a sense of sorrow and bereavement through out Wrangell, was received here on Wednesday morning from Miss Mar garet Bronson in Seattle stating that her mother had suffered a se- we're heart attack from which she had failed to rally.
 Mrs. Bronson left Wrangell a year ago after living 30 years in Alaska. She accompanied her hus- band, the late F. B. Bronson, to Sitka in 1900 when he was sent there from the States as a U. S. deputy collector of customs. Two years later he was transferred to Wrangell where he served the Treas ury Department until his death in December of 1929.
 During all her years of residence in Wrangell Mrs. Bronson was a friend to all and beloved by all. In her quiet way, she exemplified all that is best and most cherished in a wife, mother, friend and neighbor. Her home was of paramount inter est to her and there she presided with a lovely graciousness. She was interested and helpful in the activi- ties of the community and belonged to a number of organizations. Her chief concern, however, was the in dividual who needed her help when stricken by sickness or distress of any kind.
 In every way Mrs. Bronson will be sadly missed by the community, who mourn her passing, but who will carry the remembrance of her kindness and goodness throughout the years.

Cooper Home Shows Agricultural
 Possibilities In Wrangeu District

Of the many homes built in the past few years outside the ineor- porated limits of Wrangell and wrested from the forest by long, hard hours of labor, that of F. A. Cooper on the Standard Oil road is an excellent example of what can be accomplished by home mak- CTS in Wrangell.
 Visitors tc the Cooper home to- day, noting the attractive modern house, the fruit trees, vegetable and flower gardens, the bee stands and mink houses on the beach, find it difficult to realize that up to a few years ago this fertile strip of land of 250 feet frontage, sloping down to the beach through width varying from thirty feet on the south boundary to eighty feet on the north line was a strip of beach covered with trees and brush and interspersed with several granite boulders.
 When MT. and Mrs. Cooper took up their home site in 1922, the road ended on the hill in front of the Worden residence and only a slashing marked the lines of the road extension. When Cooper start ed building his home he engaged William Berger, then in the trans fer business with one horse and an iron-wheeled wagon, to haul lum- Der and building materials to the end of the road. Cooper then pack ed all this on his back the 300 yards to the site for the new home.
 For several months he worked four days a week in the Coulter Meat Market and worked the 'e- maining days clearing the ground and building his home. When cum- pleted, the transfer charges had been his only expenditure for labor.
 1he basement walls are built of granite rocks which resulted when the boulders were blasted out of the garden. Inside, the basement is of full concrete. After clearing his ground Cooper in 1923 planted AZ fruit trees. sending to a Nebraska nursery for four-year-old early cherry, crab apple, apple and plum trees. Apple trees set out in 1925 bore this year for the third time. The apples are of luscious flavor and are mellow and sweet. The cherries also have been in bearing for the past three seasons, and the crab apples have borne their second crop. The plums have not borne as yet, but last spring both varieties had scattering blossoms and Cooper expects fruit next year. From the fruit he has had heavy yields of strawberries, gooseberries, red, white and black entrants, ever green blackberries and red rasp- berries. Five years age he received 50 plants of hybrid red and black cap raspberry, from the Min nesota Agricultural College, develop ed on its experimental farms.
