No Longer Is
 ''COt a Dime?"
 Seattle ByWord

There's no longer any doubt about conditions being good in the States . John Beck, President of the First National Bank of Juneau, returned this morning on the Alaska after short visit in Seattle.
 He not only saw every indication of returning prosperity in all the commonly accepted signs-crowds merrymaking, business activity-but as he says, the one infallible barometer that has so long been registering de pre- ssion has now blown up.
 For number of years" he said this morning. every time I went to Seattle I found it necessary to prepare for a walk on the streets by getting a pocketful of change ready.
 50 I did the same thing last week-broke a bill and put all the change in one pocket. But though I walked around most of the day, there wasn't single man coming up to make a touch"
 MT. Reck says he had a splendid time, went to the Washington Minnesota football game and the rally on the eve of the game, also to the Puyallup Fair.
 That's the kind of a fair we ought to have here in Southeast Alaska he said
 He said he was too busy keeping up with the holiday spirit of Seat tie to talk business while he was there, but that bankers and busi- ness men all seem to be optimistic and happy.

On the bear hunt in which father and son were guided by Slim Crocker, one brownie attacked, they reported, and Crocker pushed the boy back of him while he disposed of the bear with well-aimed shot.
 "He didn't need to push me" commented young Essig as proud Dad recounted the tales of con quest, T was already getting back of him, and quick, too" Both hunters reported a marvel- ous time and ayowed they would be back for more Alaska shooting.

 With rain following the several clear days, the duck hunters were enthusiastic today and looking hope fully to the morrow.
 Game officials again stressed to- day that the regulations provide for shooting between a. m. and p. m. and asked all sportsmen to observe the regulations and avoid difficult ties.
