 Mrs Bureh chose to travel by bus from Seattle For $75.00 she bought a ticket from Seattle to North Car olina by way of Salt Lake City and Kansas City and return through the southern states to New Orleans, across to California and up the Pa cific coast She is enthusiastic about this mode of travel and hopes to repeat it in a few years.
 The greatest change noted by Mrs. Burch in her home state was the improvement in roads, long ar terial highways traversing the state to portions which were formerly al- most inaccessible. and feeder high ways every where.
 After leaving North Carolina homeward bound, she visited at Norfolk. Virginia. where she once lived for several years. then pro eeeded down through Georgia to Mo bile. Ala. at the time the azaleae, famed in that section, were in full bloom The town was very beauti- full she said with great hedges and plantings Of azaleas a.i over the city.
 Leaving Mobile she visited at New Orleans with relatives. AL though arriving there too late for the Mardi Gras, she had a very in teresting time and found great de- light in the old city. After New Or leans ~a group of cousins whom she had not seen since childhood, were visited in Houston, Texas She stop ped at several cities in California and spent week in Seattle before boarding the steamer Alaska for Wrangell.

 Mr Barnes also presented a letter to Miss Weightman from Mayor F. c. Hanford which read as follows:
 "On behalf of the City Council and also for the people of Wrangell as a whole. I wish to assure you of our fullest appreciation for the good work you have done here in admins tering to the sick and distressed that have depended upon you
 A lifes sacrifice. such as you have given, to such a humane cause deserves the greatest reward l feel that you have been poorly paid un- less 1t be in the peace of mind that you have been able to render such a service to humanity.
 Tn retiring and leaving Wran- gell and Alaska, we extend to you our very best wishes"
 Miss Weightman expressed her re- gret at leaving Wrangell and spoke of the happiness she had derived from her friendships here.
 She then told of coming to the Territory as a missionary in pioneer days and said Alaskans should never forget the debt they owe to the missionaries of all churches. They were the ones, she said, who blazed the trails, who laid the foundation of schools and hospitals.
 She related some interesting an- eedotes Of early days in Alaska when she opened a mission for the Indians in the Panama valley be- tore the completion of the Steese highway The mission also provided shelter to any wayfarers on the trail regardless of race and at night a lantern was hung outside the door to light the way to shelter for any one in distress on the trail.
