Sitka Youth Has Recovered From
 Attack By Bear
Wayne Phillips Determined To Return to SlOcum
 Arm for Bears Pelt

Wayne Phillips, l7-year- old Sitka youth, recently was badly mauled by a big brown bear at Slocum Arm on Chichagof Island. The youth, now practically re- covered from his injuries, is planning to return to the scene for the brownies hide, he reported in Juneau where he accompanied his father who was drawn for jury duty.
 Phillips, his father, Lyle Phillips, Art Hoefer and w Stark, went to Slocum Arm on a deer hunting expedi- tion shortly after the open- ing of the season. The elder Phillips and Hoefer hunting on one side of mountain, about half an hours walk from the beach while the youth and Stark took the other side where the encounter with the bear occurred.
 The youth said that he was about 100 feet from his companion, on a small knoll covered with jack pine and huckleberry bushes, and had just started to advance into the brush when the bear charged from a dis tance of about ten feet.
 One Shot Fired
 :. The animal roared as it charged and Phillips fired one shot from his 30-3O gun without taking aim before the gun was knocked from  his hands into the brush. The bear threw it's fore paws about young Phillips, he said, biting the back of his head and neck and claw ing at his legs with his hind

paws.
 The boy shouted to his companion to stay away, knowing that he could be of no assistance with his .25 calibre rife. However, Stark began shouting at the bear which soon turned and fled into the brush. The in- jured youth was assisted to the beach, taken aboard his boat and sped to Chichagof where he was treated by Mrs Lee Stkinson, a former nurse. Later he continued on to Sitka where he was treated by Dr. Hugh Nich- olson.
 Young Phillips, who re- gently obtained a high-poW cred rifle, is determined to go back to Slocum Arm with his father for the pelt of his attacker.

PEACE RE|GNS
IN MARITIME
WORK CIRCLES

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. U.P)
The Pacific coast maritime indus
try locked forward to a year of
comparative peace as capital and
labor indicated their desires to con-
tinue a year-old truce.
The International Longshore-
mems association, most powerful
union on the west coast and key to
the waterfront situation, apparent
" permitted its treaty with en-
ployers to renew itself automatical-
ly until September 80, 1886.
Six lesser unions filed notice of
dseired changes in their contracts
but indicated they would seek them
through arbitration and not direct
action.
Those whose representatives filed
notice that they were seeking
amendments were the Sailors I'm
ion of the Pacific, the firemen, OIL
ers and water tenders, marine cooks
and stewards, marine engineers,
masters. mates and pilots, and radio
telegrapherS.
Henry P. Melinkow, labor lawyer
and spokesman for the unions, said
the changes sought were minor
ones and would not impair indus
trial peace.
Waterfront employers associa-
tons and shipowners last week in
they would renew all agree
ments on condition that no mater
ial changes were sought.
The agreements were negotiated
a year ago TO end the three months
general waterfront strike.
While the sailors, mates, engi-
neers and others virtually termin-
ated their agreements by demand
ing changes, there appeared no dis
position in waterfront circles to re-
gard their action as OF serious ma
ture or as anything but move for
minor adjustments which could be
settled over conference tables.

The whole of Vancouver Island is

Big timber coming right down to

where they would ever get any
shortage of timber.
We had pretty weather for about
the first 800 miles, then it begin to
kinder close in. We had expected
to stop in Ketchkan our first city

ed that if he stopped there we
would get closed in and wouldn't
get any further up the coast
So he flew low over the very

at that time from tkSre here was a
Count Won -. somebody or other.
There is big picture of it in the
wonderful museum in Juneau, and
it shows the signing of the bill of
sale. We paid S7200,000 (seven
million two hundred thousand dol
lars), the two hundred thousand
extra was the counts commission
guess.

Then in that same museum they
have a picture of the check that we
paid. Think of that seven million
dollars and the thing is almost as
big as the United States. At that
time they called it Seward Fol-
lies"
Kinder like it is now, we never
know when we are doing we'll till
away later I guess its the best
bargain we ever made. 1 never
could see why nations don't sell
each other land like they ought too
instead of having them go to war
to get it.
I don't think we are as civilized
as we used to be back in those days.
Now there was some land off away
from Russias main body, and they
sold it. Lots OF nations have land

CHILDREN OF
ASTR|D TOLD
SHE IS DEAD

BRUSSELS, Aug. 81 U.P)-King
Leopold Of the Belgians qualled to-
day before the ordeal Of telling his
two eldest children that their
mother haA been killed in an auto
mobile accident.
He rose from his knees in the
room Of the royal palace where he
had been praying, alone before his
wife's bier, and called a member OF
his household. To this friend he
confided his dread of the task be-
fore him 1t was clear that he was
not equal to the ordeal.
A suggestion was offered that the
king allow someone else to break
the news 10 Josephine Charlotte, 7,
and Baudouin, 4. the crown prince.
He protested that the duty was his,
but finally was persuaded TO en-
trust it to another.
He called the Countess Du Roy
De Bricquay, lady-in-waiting to the
late queen and herself the mother
Of three children, and asked her to
go on the errand.
The countess found the children
playing in the park. Josephine,
who was riding her bicycle, caught
sight of her first She ran to her
with the question:
Why do I see SO many soldiers
around here today?"
The countess caught the little girl
in her arms and said:
Your mother has gone on a long
journey, dear"
when will she back?" asked the
child.
She may never return"
JosephineS mind leaped to the
truth and the countess confirmed
her fears.
Ban5ouin, ATTRACTED by his sis
ter's walls, was al the countess
Side by this time. He, too, was told
the full truth His mind seemed
unable to grasp its import. Half
an hour later he was back at his
games.

France Has Many
Statues Erected
To Joan Of Arc

PARIS. Aug. 81. U.P)-Forty thou
sand statues to a single individual
breaks the record in France. The
individual is Joan Of Arc, the girl
warrior who was burned at the
stake in Rouen 5O4 years ago, and
who was made a saint Is years
ago.
Every city and nearly every
church has its statue of Joan OF
Arc. There are $4,000 communes
or toWnsFp%in France, and each
one has at least one statue to the
young French heroine.
Orleans, which Joan of Arc de-
liVered from the English in 1929
and where a procession of graft
tude' IS held every year, has more
statues than any other city. There
are more than 200 there in the Joan
OF Arc museum alone which vary
in size from one or two fctt in
height to life-size statues. Some
are Of granite. marble and bronze;
others are in glass, china and wood
There are monuments to the Maid
CT Orleans in Rouen, where she
died, and others at Domremy, her
birthplace.
In all. there are minimum of 40
600, and according to a Paris bronze
founder the number of statues is
constantly increasing. This african
says he produces at least one statue
of Joan Of Arc every week. The
next French person to be so hon
ored is Napoleon Bonaparte, who
according to statistics runs a close
second to Joan Of Arc in the num-
Der of statues erected in his honor.
