YOUNG JUNEAU BOY HAS INTER RESTING
 SUMMER VACATION


 Returning from a modern grand tour of the country Winfield S.. Pullen. Jr., arrived in Juneau on the Princess Louise Monday night. Since the end of the regular school year at the University of Washington in June, young Pullen has probably seen more of the United States than any other of his classmates. Leaving Seattle in June to visit his sister, Miss Elizabeth Pullen, in Denver, he continued his journeying until he had crossed and recroSscd the United States. With Yarmouth, Maine, the home of his grandparents, Mir and Mrs. w. w. Pullen, his destination, he stopped enrOute at Chicago, where he saw the Worlds Fair, and then visited friends in Altoona, Pa., and in New York City, where he called on former Governor Thomas Riggs. It was his special wish to see Li- zette and Tom Riggs, Jr., in New York for the three young people had attended kindergarten together in Juneau, but the younger mem- bers of the, Riggs family were sin Europe at the time he was east.
 After several weeks visiting his parents here, MT. Pullen will re- turn to Seattle where he will en- ter his senior year at the Univer- sity of Washington this fall

PLAN DASH TO ARCTIC;RESCUE OF R|EST AIM

CHURCHILL, Mani, Sept. s. Final preparations were being made for the soiling of Piux XXI. the Roman Catholic supply ship which may bring Rev. II. N. Bazyn out of the distant wilderness, where he has been stranded for four year5.
 Food and other supplies were be- ing loaded into the ship which will make a score of calls before returning to this port. But that big interest in the venture srlr- rounds the finding of Father Bazyn
 Four years ago Father Bazyn started from Pond Inlet, on the far northeast coast of Baffin Land. and made his way on foot toward Igloolik, 400 miles to the south west, where he has been minister Ing to the Eskimos. Since then he has lived off the land and has not seen white man.
 Doubtful Venture
 Arriving at Igloovik Island at the east end of Fury and Hecla Straits, Father Bazyn constructed a hut of driftwood and old packin9 cases. This burned down. accord ing to word brought here by na- tives, and the missionary built a shelter of stone and mess.
 Igloolik is 1140 miles northeast of here, and only small and staunch ships may attempt the passaga. Rev Father Emmanuel Duplain. in charge of the relief ship, said there was prospect he would be caught in the ice for the winter. Marin CTS wished him good luck, bu. doubted if he could succeed in his venture so late in the season.
 The ship will call at Chester field Inlet, where supplies will be put ashore for the hospital 400 miles north of here. The next point will be Repulse, on the Arc tic Circle, where a mission was established last year. Then will come the final dash of 76O miles to Igloolik.

 On the East Coast the improve ment is particularly noticeable, says MT. Fisher, in spite of labor trou- bles which have tended to slow up industry. He also found conditions much better on the Pacific Coast than they were when he made his last trip west two years ago.
 People Travelling
 He bases his conclusions not alone on statistics. but also on the manner in which people are spend- ing money.

existence as a city and the event is not without
interest TO North Caronians, since the citys foun-
der after whom it was named, was for time
resident of this state and served with some DIS
+inct;on during that period of his career. ..
Nathaniel Rochester the man in question, is
described by the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin as
native of Virginia who, "after limited eduea-
ton, became a clerk in store in North Carolina
and soon his employers partner" There was more
to the man than that. We do not know whether
his life story has ever been written but even the
encyclopedias tell us that while ne lived, In MS

he superintendent the manufacture of arms at Hills

Philadelphia and subsequently to Hagerstown, Mo-
There, it is stated he became president OF Il
bank and owner of chain of mercantile establish

imagine one of the earliest examples of the cham

with two other Marylanders, Charies CarroIi. anu
William Fitzhugh, he bought hundred acre tract
in what is now the heart of the city that bears his
name. He had foreseen the possibilities of the
Genesee valley, established a paper mill and took
an active part in bringing about the completion
of the Erie Canal. Instrumental in securing the
creation of Monroe county, of which Rochester was
to become the county seat, he was for years, and
until his death in 1881, the leading citizen of the
countryside in which he had made his home. When,
three years after his death, the city chartered

aggressive individual who had brought about its
first permanent settlement.

OLD JOHN ON PAROLE

Along with lot of other hard cases, Old John
Barleycorn was let out on parole few months ago
on the strength of various vehement pledges on
his part and those of his supporters.
Among other things he promised, without bat

and beer they would not want hard liquor. Booze
would pay the tax bills. Repeal would stop drink
ing among the youth Make it easy to get and
fewer would want it. The bootlegger would go out
of business, saving huge sums on enforcement
And his friends backed him up on every one of
them.
How has Old John kept his parole-and prom

OUR FINANCIERS

Arthur Brisbane pays his respects to our inan-
Iciers >,~ .r..ss.-
Lloyd George, in his memoirs, says that while
England was borrowing American dollars so in
dustriously the United States, shocked by the cost
of war, was suspicious as the allies asked for
credit" He does not add as he might, that Ameri-
cans would have been wise to refuse the credit,
since all of our gallant allies have turned out to
be gallant welchers.
"The latest display of American financial genius
consists in shipping American gold abroad First
the government took away any gold that Ameri-
can citizens happened to have. 1t was too good
for them. Then we raised the price of gold to S35
per ounce, nearly doubling it, thus enriching the
British that own the worlds principal gold mines
Now we start sending abroad that gold, bought
at fantastic prices with American taxpayers

methods

MANY HELPED
MAKE PAGEANT
BIG SUCCESS
President Strong of {. {.
Thanks All Aiding in
I e# Festival 81 T.

President Milo Strong of the
Chamber of Commerce today is
sued a statement thanking all
those concerns and individuals
who contributed toward making
the first annual Indian Summer
Festival a success.
Mr.. Strong's. statement was as
follows:
"The Chamber of Commerce
desires to express its deepest APP
probation to its members and
citizens who have so generously
contributed their time and in
many cases valuable materials III
the production Of our first Indian
Summer Festival.
"In the beginning we have to
thank Messrs. Oliver and H. Wal
ter Fuller, owners of Laurel Park
Lake properties and C. E. Living
ston, lessee of same, for the gen.
erous use of the property.
"Then since the Fire Cod was
a spectacular production the light
ing effect was Of the greatest i'm
portance. The use of spotlights,
foodlights, ETC., with their varied
colorful and skillful handling was
most wonderfully taken care of
by the Southern Public Utilities
company through their Mr.. Robt.
S., Gibbs, Jr., assisted by the Car
Dina theatre, Mr.. Harry Buchan-
an, manager; T. c.. Whisnant &
Son, and the City Electric COM
pany rendered valuable service in
their part of the electrical install
lation.
"The construction of the large
barge which foated out in the
lake, representing an island scene
was capably handled by Emil F.
Latt of the Hendersonville Sup
ply & Coal Co., who furnished ap-
proximately $4,000 feet of lum-
Der used in its construction and
other features in connection with
the festival. 1t was necessary to
use some buoyant material, so
Kirby Hoover, through the Coca
Cola Bottling Co., furnished the
125 barrels necessary to float it.
"The success of a. venture of
this character depends greatly
upon publicity whether regard
ing the financial side or the mat
ter of attendance. We certainly
had the attendance, and we are
grateful to The Times-News for
their cooperation. They were
certainly unstinting, in their pub
Lefty.
"The Citizen Times of Ashe-
vile were most. liberal in their
publicity, as well as a number of
other papers throughout North
end South Carolina.
"We are just afraid to con-
tipue to name the many others
who have contributed their time
and efforts to make, this. festival
a success, for should 1--WE, forget
any one, they could feel that we
have sighted them, when such, IS
not the desire or intention in the
least, but let each one, either lady
or gentleman, who assisted in any
way, feel that it was greatly APP
preciated by the Chamber uf
Commerce.
"The cooperation of the vari-
Gus camps, their owners and coun-
cilors are deserving of much
praise in their part of the pro-
gram"
