WASHINGTON, April 27-An ap
peal to former soldiers not to join
in a new bonus march on Washing
ton was issued today by Ernest AL
bright of Oklahopa who said he
commanded the Oklahoma units of
the veterans that came to the CAPT
tai last year. Former officers of the
bonus army called at the White
House with proposals for payment
of the bonus to unemployed veterans
and said that unless this were done
in all probability calls would be
sent out for a new march on Wash
ington. Their plan calls for an
amendment to the initiation proposal
to provide for payment of the bonus.
One bonus move after another
sprang up in the house today. The
Senate talked it's way towards vote
on the gold content section of the
initiation bill as a preliminary to
action on the veterans payment
proposal A strict limit was called
on the raging initiation debate in
the Senate in an effort to bring the
administration bill now providing for
free coinage of silver to vote.

Wrangell was little beach set
Element with only twenty white

Inc white women, who were all mis-

Tne Indians were camped BY

of the bay. The whites occupied
the upper part of the town. The
two stores were owned by Dun

There were no saloons, as liquor
was not allowed in the Territory.
Some liquor was struggled in from
Port Simpson in British Columbia,
but most of the "hootch" consumed
was home manufactured. Fifty or
more barrels of black molasses was

of the bottle is a card with full

Many fishermen believe that this

Tourists Ale Advised
To Take Alaskan Trip

A real compliment paid to Alaska
as 1.-The worlds finest tour was
that given by John Hooper, recently
reelected president of the Joint
American and Canadian Tourists
Societies Incorporated, composed ex-
clusively of tourists, and not engag-
ed in any present business.
The compliment was made in an
address given before ten thousand
tourists at the recent four-day con-
ference and reunion of the world s
tourists, held at Los Angeles, South
ern California, their central winter
headquarters. Mr.. Hooper is an hon
orary member of the Juneau Cham
Der of Commerce, a life member of
the Wrangell and Sitka Chambers
of Commerce, and one of the first
tourists to give Alaska her just cred
it as a scenic attraction that beats
the rest of the world. He spent over
dozen summers in Alaska and took
movie and still pictures of many
noted places of interest, showing
same gratis in hundreds of churches,
theatres and clubs, all over Canada,
the United States and foreign lands
without compensation.
Ideal Summer Trips
Secretary L. C. Wagner, of the
American Tourists section, sends us
short synopsis of President Hoop
er's address, as follows:
MANY ask me for ideal summer
trips, always stating they want no
hot belt outing, meaning they wish
to go on an agreeable tour where
climate will not be too harsh on
them. My advice is always See Am
erica First-and especially that most
genuine part of it called Alaska.
Plan your trips or tour early, so as
to avoid the July and August rush
of school teachers, students and
nurses, who are compelled. to some
extent, to choose these two months
for their holidays. l always found
May and June splendid months for
my frequent trips to Alaska. 1t is
not only one of the worlds finest
trips but can be taken with comfort
and ease, and at moderate cost.
For all those who are elderly people,
and practically 80 per cent of our
membership is over so years of age,
| it is a tour that should be taken
with one or more stop-overs. To see
Alaska properly a steamboat ride is
not enough. 1t has an ideal climate
from May LIST to October LIST, espe-
cially beneficial to those addicted
to hay fever, high blood pressure
which plays such havoc with many
in the hot belts.
