 and Scenery

Among the passengers sailing from Juneau on the Princess Louise this morning were MT and Mrs. Bernard B. Baruch Jr, who spent the past few days in Ju- neau
 On the first day of his stay in Juneau MT. Baruch paid his res poets to Gov. John w. Troy.

 MT. Baruch is not stranger here, having spent several weeks in the vicinity hunting and fish, ing in 1930. The two visitors were so delighted with the climate and the wonderful scenery that they hope to be frequent visitors to Ju- neau in the future.

TEX HEEL GHOST. HAS REAPPEARED
(Valdez Miner)

For several years past Charles Romohr, proprietor of the Teikhel Roadhouse has seen a mysterious light travelling along a mountain not far distant from the road house. Nor is Charley the only one to have witnessed this mysterious phenomenon, for other residents vouch for the truth of his story. Last Sunday night about half past ten, the light made it's appear ance for the first time for some months and was seen by several persons stopping at the roadhouse. It was then planned that if the light appeared the following ev- ening a party would climb the mountain and investigate the mys- terious illumination. As yet no re- port has been received here as to whether the light appeared, an in- yestigation made, or the results, if any.
 There are as many opinions concerning the phenomenon as there are witnesses to it, all tinged with the supernatural.
