IN GEORGE BIDWELL HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Bellons
a d small son George of San Diego,
California, arrived on the Aleutian
Monday to be guests in the George
Bidwell home for the summer. The
families are old friends and the
men were business associates in
San Diego.
Mr.. Bellons has temporarily re-
tired from his business as contract
ing plumber. One of his recent large
jobs was at Aqua Caliente, Mexico,
where he had a plumbing contract
for nearly a million dollars.
He is much impressed with Al
aska and may take up residence in
Wrangell He enjoys outdoor life
and the hunting and fishing of this
section have a strong appeal for
him. Two years ago he went on a
big game hunt at Kodiak and sue
ceeded in bagging three brown
bears.
Mrs and Mrs. Bidwell left Thurs

Vigilante for a weeks outing and
fishing trip at Duncan Canal.

Bishop Rowe Gives
Local Hospital $500

Bishop Rowe left on the Norco
today for juneau after spending a
busy week in Wrangell His pro-
gram last Sunday included confir-
nation for a class of four in ad-
dition to the regular service at st.
Philips Church and a part in the
union service held at Wrangell In
stitute in the afternoon. Last night,
Ascension Day service was held at
st. Philips and a class of adults
confirmed. Several babies were bap-
tized during the week.
The Bishop met with the hospi-
tai board on Tuesday night, was
honor guest at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon Wednesday noon
and of ST. Philips Guild Wednes-
day evening when Miss Brunsvold
and Miss Dorothy Johnson were
hostesses at the M. o. johnson
home He was a dinner guest in u
number of Wrangell homes and at
the hospital during his stay, and
made many parish calls with the
rector.
Bishop Rowe expressed great sat
b isfaction in regard to the hospital
and enjoyed his visit to the fullest.
Coming as a surprise to the hospi-
tai board, a check for $500 to take
care of the balance on a note of
long standing, was presented last
night and the debt wiped out
promptly this morning, leaving the
hospital in better financial con-
dition than it has ever been. Of
especial interest to st. Philips
Church is the promise of a furnace
and basement at later date

Brueger Concerned By
Plight Of Fishermen

A special Chamber of Commerce
luncheon was held last Wednesday
at the Wrangell Hotel in honor of
Bishop P. T. Rowe.
Much routine business was dis
patched and a number of projects
for community welfare were con-
sidered.
A. R. Brueger, fish buyer at
Wrangell, and who operates a mild
curing station at Port Alexander
asked the Chamber to consider
perplexing problem confronting the
fish buyers and the alien fishermen.
The recent legislature passed a
law forbidding the issuance of a
fish license to an alien and pro-
viding heavy penalties for buying
fish from an alien.
There are about 2S men involved
at Wrangell, stated Mr.. Brueger,
the majority being Scandinavian
with several Filipinos and a few
Japanese. They have been residents
of Wrangell for a number of years
and the new law makes it impos-
sible for them to support themselves
or their families. He cited the case
of a Filipino who has lived in this
section for II years, is married to
Native woman and has a family
of children. 1t would seem to the
Filipino that there is nothing left
for him to do but to go back to
his own country and leave the sup
port of his family to the Federal
and Territorial government.
The men to whom Mr.. Brueger
referred are known to the chamber
members, all of whom recognize
the injustice of the law which
would take the means of livelihood
from men who otherwise would be
self-supporting members of the COM
munity, although the intent of the
law was to prevent injustice to citi-
zens through the exploitation of
natural resources by aliens.
The secretary was instructed u
write to the governor of Alaska and
to the attorney general asking for
advice as to how Wrangell should
meet the situation.
Bishop Rowe addressed the cham
Der in his usual friendly, genial
and humorous manner. He was in
Washington at the time of the in
auguration of President Hoover and
described conditions at the capital
during that time and the courage
and mounting optimism with which
the American people from coast to
coast are meeting their problems.
