said DR.. Gorringe at last. Pm
sure it will be all right this time"
He always said that.
Last came a normal patient, but
a rather difficult case, requiring
bridging and browning, and likely
to take a full hour. AS it was
already past his usual hour for
lunch, Tim was not in the best of
humor as he tackled the oper-
alton. He had hardly begun it be-
fore he realized he was out Of the
mixture he used as a mouth wash.
He rang the bell for Adams, in
tending to send him round to the
chemist, but there was no response,
even when he went out into the
hall and called. Eventually he
telephoned the chemist (whose boy
proved to be out) and made do
with lysOl. It was we'll after 2
when he finished, and as he had
another appointment at half past
2 he lost his lunch, and had to be
satisfied with a snack at the Will
liam and Mary.
When he got back Adams had
also returned. what happened
to you, Adams ?" he asked, quite
amiably. IT wanted you just after
1, but you weren't about"

IT didn't think you'd want me once
you'd started with Mrs. Braith-
waite"
"Well, you might have asked
me-" Tim went on into his sur
gerry, little puzzled. It was not
at all like Adams to go off like
that without word. Perhaps, un-
der the circumstances, being be-
hind his time, he should have told
Adams he could go.
But taking French leave was a
different matter.
And there had been something
disagreeable about the mans tone.
Not definitely rude, but lacking in
his usual rather servile respectful
ness. Tim recalled he had not adj
dressed him as "Sir'-and Adams
was generally lavish with his
"Sirs". No doubt he was ost of
sorts.
Tim forgot about it, but the Incl
dent was recalled to his mind a few
days later. He was sitting in the
living room after dinner one eve
ming, playing solitaire, when he
heard a sudden scuff1e and bump
in the passage which led to the
kitchen and domestic offices. It
was followed by a burst of laugh
ter-Adams' staggering laugh and
an affected whinny, which he
recognized as coming from the
housemaid. Then a slammed door,
Tim went out into the corridor,
feeling rather like a schoolmaster,
but there was no further disturb
ance. This was a relief to him, for
he had no idea how to cope with
domestic differentiation. The
wheels had always run too smooth
ly. He wondered if he had. in

CHAPTER u

! IT STARTED one morning early
in November.
It had been a particularly try
ing morning. There were certain
patients whom Tim had come to
regard as his particular betes
) noires, and on this day he had been
afflicted with no fewer than three
of them.
There was Miss Simmons, a
shrinking creature whose mind,
never too strong, and always a
ready victim to all forms Of popu-
lar suggestion, was so wrought
upon by the mere prospect of a
visit to the dentist that by the
time she was helped, half collap-
sing, into the chair, it was next to
impossible to do anything with
her.
In particular she had a terror
of the drill, and her recoilings,
groans, and agonized expressions
when Tim was using it, even if he
was nowhere near a nerve, held up
his work and were constant
source of irritation. He would like
to have shaken her, but his tradi-
ton of patience was strong.
"Now try and stick it a little
longer this time, Miss Simmons.
It won't really hurt, and it'll be
over all the sooner. :" The Job,
which should have taken less than
20 minutes, lasted a full three
quarters of an hour.
She was followed by an equally
liberal spendthrift of time. Grass
water, the stockbroker. Grass
water had no fear of the dentists
chair, indeed, he nearly always for
got where he was in his eagerness
to hold forth on something or other
he had read in the newspaper that
morning. Instrument in hand, Tim
was warded off by the huge index
finger with which Grasswater
rammed home the point of his
harangue. At last he succeeded in
shutting the man up by stuflng
an excessive amount of cotton
wadding into his mouth, but by the
time he had finished with him he
was nearly an hour behind sched-
ule.
Then there was the Methodist
pastor, DR.. Gorringe, for whom he
had provided a plate of three up
per teeth after a cycling accident
a few months ago. DR.. Gorringe,
a nervous and fdgety person, SIM
ply could not get used to his plate.
Generally it was too loose, in which
case he came to Tim to get it
frightened. Then he would fiddle
about with it until it was loose
again, and he would be back in a
week. Last time Tim had given
him good measure in the hope of
stopping the nonsense, and the
minister's complaint now was that
it was too tight; he had great diff
Guilty in getting it out in the eve
nings and in in the mornings.
Tim tinkered with it a bit.
That's perfect. Mr.. Kennedy"

BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Oct. 15.-First editorials on
the subject of Frank Hancock's an
nounced opposition to Robert r. Rey-
holds appear to be more favorable to
the candidacy and chances of the
Fifth District congressman than
might have been expected.
Numerous papers throughout the
State have all but taken a flat-footed
stand in favor of Mr.. Hancock, while
others not quite so outspoken thus
early in the game have conceded him
more than an outside chance in his
race.
Senator Reynolds thus far has not
given the Hancock candidacy the
honor of serious comment, contending
himself with the expression that it
will give him exercise"
Judging from the tone of newspaper
comment there is some danger (speak-
ing from the Reynolds viewpoint) that
the incumbent will find that all he
will get from the campaign is ECKER

A score of years ago, preparations
 for July Fourth were made many
 weeks ahead and call for meeting to make arrangements received ready response from many citizens. Hund-
 reds of dollars were collected. Two dances were always taken for grant ed (they still are and are all that
 remain of those early-day celebra- tions" and they were, of course, ar ranged by the fraternal organiZa- tions. The program committee work ed hard to get a speaker, recitations, patriotic music, parade to bring people to the hall, etc. Sometimes a well-known speaker was imported from a neighbor town and once a hand was brought from distant Met lakatla, and there was music all day. Another time, a string orches tra was engaged but the music could not be heard any distance So all agreed that a band was the thing. One Fourth, the entire program was given out-of-doors, and school child ren took prominent part. One memer. able year, floats were arranged by tue business men and a Gddess of Lib erty and attendants on flower and

bunting trimmed float drawn by the towns one horse, made a fair-sized parade. The weather man must have been more kind those years than he is usually given credit for being, but there was an occasion when the bunting clad marchers made a sorry appearance as, drenched with red and blue tricklets running down their faces, they entered the hall, faith full to their patriotic duty to the last step.
 Time has marched on and 1t is no longer possible to create the ne- cessary interest for a particularly rousing celebration. Many of those who formerly led the movement are here no longer. Others are busy, or inexperienced. Several outlying can neries and camps from which crews came to celebrate no longer exist.
 However, Wrangell always cele- brates to some extent and WILL have a celebration this year, and It's success will depend upon the coop eration of its citizens - and the state of the weather. The day will be Monday and the place will be Front Street.

Mrs, Dunbar Will
 Visit WrangeIl Soon

Word received on a late boat from pr. J. F. Van Ackeran. president AL aska Tuberculosis Association. states that Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, Exec. utive Secretary of the Oregon Tu- berculosis Association. will visit Wrangell in August, the date to be annuOnced later.
 "The object of her visit" Dr. van Ackeran writes, lis to strengthen the local committees. or community groups, with a plan for securing memberships, to develop the local services which will extend the influ- ence and value of the special Tuber- culosis services of the Territorial De- partment of Health, to lay the fouh- dation for some tuberulosis hospital legislative program and to thorough ly establish the relationship be- tween the voluntary associations and professional agencies"
 The request is made that prelim- mary plans for her visit be begun and that she be given an opportunity when she arrives to meet with the members of the local Health Council group organizations, city officials, practicing physicians and others.
 Dr. Van Ackeran concludes his letter with this statement: "Tte help Mrs. Dunbar can give You ia your campaign for the eradication of tuberculosis in the community should be of measurable value"
 Mrs. Dnbar is well known in Wrangell having visited here on two former occasions. In addition to her outstanding work for the control of tuberculosis, she holds the office of First Vice President of the Gen eral Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization of 15,000 clubs with a membership of between two and three million women, and she is the only nominee for the presiden- cy of that powerful group, an hon or of which Oregon is justly proud. If elected at the Triennial Conyen- ton to be held in Kansas City next May, Mrs. Dunbar will be the first working woman to hold that high office.

KirtlandS Return
 From Trip To States

Mr. and Mrs. c. P. Kirtland re- turned last week from a very en- joyable trip to British Columbia. Washington and Idaho. They arrived in Vancouver while the city was still beautifully decorated for the coronation celebration which Was carried thru to May A which is ai- ways a holiday throughout the Elm pire being Queen Victoria's Birth. day They then visited, Bellingham Mt Vernon. Anacortes. Seattle. Ia coma and Auburn where MT. Kirt- land was guest of honor at the Ma sonic Lodges Tn those cities.
 Just before the 8Oth Communica. tion of the Grand Lodge of Washing ton of which MT. Kirtland was Jun for Grand Warden, they visited the cities of Spokane and Cheney, the latter being the home of Grand Mas ter R. E. Tieje. While in Spokane they enjoyed a motor trip into Ida ho and visited the beautiful fall and power plant near COur d'Alene.
 On leaving Spokane for Tacoma by auto in company with two Otther grand Lodge officers they visited the great Grand Coulee Dam on the Col umbia River. This proved to be one of the most interesting experiences of the whole trip. To really apprec- fate the magnitude of this great pro iect one must visit it. When com, pleted the dam will be 4,700 feet long, 500 feet wide at the base and two way road 32 feet wide will run across the top There will be over II million cubic yards of con crete used in it's construction and when the dam is completed and closed a lake 151 miles long will be formed behind it in three weeks. The giant power plants will gener. ate two and one-half million horse power and the government will be able to sell this power to companies at 2.7 mills per K. W. and pay for the dam in 50 years. The total cost of the dam will be about $165, ,000.- OO0.0O. After leaving the dam the party drove thru the Grand Coulea which will be transformed into a great lake after the dam Is comple- ted. Great pumps will life the water from behind the dam over a low range of hills and flood the Coulee. This water in turn will be used to irrigate over a million acres of vir- gin soil.
 At Tacoma a busy week was spent durng the Grand Lodge session and MT. Kirtland met the large dele gation of Alaskan Masons represent ing every lodge in Alaska except Nome. On the opening morning of the communication MT. Kirtland. on behalf of the Grand Lodge deliver ed the reply to the speech of well come made by Past Grand Master McLandress.
 At the Grand Lodge election MT. Kirtland was advanced to the posi- tion of Senior Grand Warden which office he will hold until the Grand Lodge meets at Walla Wailla next June.

HAS
 STARTED IN
 BRISTOL BAY

Naknek, Alaska - Bristol bay fishermen started a month-long fish ing season last weekend with prices of II and oue-fourth cents a fish, the highest ever paid in this area. More than 2000 fishermen sailed out of five rivers into Bristol bay Fri day morning with the tide high and weather fair.
 There are 22 days of actual fisn- ing for the worlds greatest run Of red salmon.
 The new Bristol Bay Packing company's plant. a siX-line cannery, is ready for operations, replacing the eannery which burned a year ago. An average to better run of salmon is expected this season. The Libbyyille re-organized cannery is also ready for operation.
 Rivalry between individual fish ermen, Scandinavian and Italian groups and canneries is high, but all are apprehensive of the Japanese threat.
 Bureau of Fisheries men are watching the catch to permit 50 percent escapement.
 Agent Sees Menace
 Libbysyille, Alaska - F. R. Lu-I cas assistant Alaskan agent for the bureau of fisheries, returning here from an inspection patrol yesterday, l said that Japanese off-shore plants could destroy the red salmon run in bristol bay in five or ten years. He advocated a strong stand by the gov 1 ernment against foreign fishermen. l
 Japanese floating plants are a menace, theoretically at least. It IS l plain to see with experimental work done and the Type of gear used that they could easily cork a region.
 While they are not actually talk ing salmon now, one 8000-ton ship and I4 travellers are taking tons of other fish. Also, one 4000-ton yes sel with a pair of 1OO-foot craft and ten smaller boats are catching and packing crabs.
 Cold Welcome
 Michael Hatton of the fisheries bureau. sent to investigate the pur- ported "inVasion' of the Britol Bay fishing grounds, said he drew up alongside of one of the Japanese boats but that he did not get a very warm welcome.
 Foreign boats have been increas-I ing yearly" Hatton said, "and with the type of gear they use there will be no salmon in these waters in five or six years"
 Albert DaVey, veteran fisherman and trader of g years said he had watched foreign boats increase in ] numbers during the past nine years.
 While we have felt no ill ef- fleets yet, the type of fishing gear the foreign ships are using leaves little chance for the salmon to get into the bay. At this rate five years will find no fishing in these waters" " he said
 Edward Coffey, secretary of the Alaska Resident Fishermens Union and a member of the territorial leg 1 islature, commented:
 Must Protect
 We must protest this invasion of foreign floating canneries. With the type of gear they are using they cannot help but catch salmon. We feel they have no right there"
 Hatton added that efforts to per- petuate he run through the co-op. eration of he canneries and the bur~ eau of fisheries will be of no avail if the foreign fishing continues 10 increase.
 The height of the Bristol Bay sal mon run is usually around July 1.
