CROWD OF 80 SEES BEARS AT
L0RING, SALMON LEAPING

KETCHIKAN = A perfect day, at
least Is black bears, and thousands
of leaping salmon served to make
the excursion of 80 persons to Naha
river at Loring Sunday an interest
ing one. The trip was sponsored by
the Alaska Sportsmen's association.
Even before the excursionists de-
barked at the foot of Roosevelt la
COON, bears were seen A mother
and her six-months-old cub were
fishing at the foot of a stream near
by.
Most of the party walked along
the 21a mile trail to the falls and
supplies of ice cream and coffee were
taken by boat up the lagoon to Or
toms ranch.
There was black bear at the Ma
ha river falls when the first of the
party arrived and a black bear ap-
peared thereafter at the rate of one
every half-hour or so, but the sal
mon trying to leap the falls present.
ed an interesting sight all the time.
The bears evidently got the scent
of the party or more might have ap-
peared because there were as many
as so spectators close to the falls at
times. There were usually 10 to Is
pink salmon in the ar constantly
and they leaped two and three feet
in the air in their efforts to get over
the falls
The bears walked leisurely down
to the falls and picked up salmon.
Some, who caught wind of the peo-
pie, stopped on the nearby logs and
watched the watchers for as long
as ten minutes at time SO every
one had an excellent opportunity to
view the animals.
The party started ON the return
trip just before sunset and came
down the channel to Ketchikan by
moonlight. Four boats made the
trip: the Chacon, Estrella, Sea Hawk
and Sylph.

WISCONSIN, NAN ENJOYS MONTH
OUTDOOR LIFE At WRANGELL

II. l. Engelhart, fer the past
month a guest Of A. Rasmussen, is
leaving tonight ON the Princess
Charlotte enroute to his home in
Spring Green, Wisconsin where he
is engaged in manufacturing oak
ties for railroad use.
This was his first trip to Alaska
and he is enthusiastic ABOUT the
country, despite the weeping skies
that prevailed during SO much OF the
past month.
He finds great delight in trout
fishing and had good success at
Thom's creek and Mill creek. One of
the highlights of his stay here was
a trip to Anan creek where the
black bears of that famed reere-
ational area put on a special show
that day.
Some forty bears at various times
during the day carried on their daily
life across the creek from the rallied
walk where visitors stand to watch
them in their native habitat. They
came out of the woods fishing down
stream for the spawning salmon.
Mother bears admonished cubs pa
tiently and when patience was ex.
hausted cuffed them roundly much
to the amusement of the spectators.
The Anan creek reereational unit,
Mr. Engelhart says, is well worth
the long trip across the continent.
He also found the salmon canning
industry interesting and viewed at
first hand the various fishing gear,
traps, seines, gillnet and trolling
hooks employed to take the fish,
Following the salmon in he watched
the process of getting it into cans,
cased and slung aboard steamers
from the eannery docks.
But the thing that is making him
on the eve of his departure plan on
return trip is not the scenic
beauty here, the bear refuge, or the
salmon industry, but the marvellous
trout fishing available.

ELKS NOTES
By the Publicity Chairman


Remember, folks tomorrow night

been waiting for. What are we
talking about? The Milk Fund Frol-
ic that the Elks are giving at the
A. n. B. Hall tomorrow night.
Harold Maxi and his orchestra
will supply the music for dancing
Besides the dancing there will be
plenty of chances to spend bogus"
money-ten dollars worth for one
real dollar ThereI be a dice game,
a black jack game, a wheel of for
tune with useful household prizes,
and probably most interesting Of all
"a roulette wheel (Some of the
committee members tried their luck
with the wheel-just to give Chas.
Wagner and Al TOrvanger a chance
to get some practice, and was it
fun! And don't think the house"
had all of the fun. Not by a long
ways (You might ask Austin Moe
about that.) Hot dogs and coffee,
as well as sodas, punch and cigarets
will be for sale.
All committee members will be
at the Hall at 9 o'clock Saturday
night, ready and waiting for the
crowd of people which it is hoped
will attend. For, let US remind you
just once more, this Frolic is being
given to raise money to buy milk
for some of Wrangells needy young
STEERS.
A crowd of Elks and friends are
expected to be over from Petersburg
for the Frolie-weather permitting.
And we hope that Wrangell will give
the Petersburg visitors at least half
as good a time as Wrangellites al
ways have when they go to Peters
burg.
So, friends, we hope to see as
many at the Frolie as can crowd into
the A.N.B. Hall. Remember. the more
the merrier; you'll more than get
your moneys worth of fun, and
the Frolic is being given for a truly
charitable cause, needy youngsters
of Wrangell.

Education Plan
House Body Considers
Bill Introduced
By Lorrobee

The House Education Committee
had before it for consideration today
a bill introduced by its chairman,
Representative Larrabee, Democrat,
OF Indiana, authorizing appropria-
tions totaling $40 100000 to finance
comprehensive six-year Federal
aid to education program, in which
the District would participate along
with the various States.
The funds would be apportioned
by the United States commissioner
of education and could be used for
training teachers, school library serv-
ice, health, welfare and recreation
activities; establishment of nursery
schools and junior colleges. services
for handicapped pupils, adult edu-
cation and educational and voca-
tional guidance.
An initial installment of s4O,OOO,-
900 would become available in the
1910 fiscal year beginning July /.
Thereafter the amount would be
increased 100000 900 each year until
the 1945 fiscal year, when the ap-
preparation would reach $140 900, 900.
Appointments to the States and
the District would be based on a
formula worked out by the COM
missioner of education. Indices as
to financial needs and the educa-
tional load would be the principal
elements in the formula.
Mr.. Larrabee said the chief OBJ
jects of the bill are to equalize edu-
cational opportunities throughout
the Nation and to improve public
education.

will all be transferred to safety
vaults elsewhere. Not only jewelry,
including watches and gold medal
lions, silver brooches, one with a
huge topaz, were discovered. In
many of the boxes were found a
wide assortment of miscellaneous,
out-of-date and apparently worth
less stocks and bonds. Many of
these were mining and oil stocks of
companies long since disappeared.
Two World War medals were found.
All these assorted relics were taken
from the locked boxes because re-
peated efforts of Receiver Justice
S. War6ell of the District National
Bank to find the owners had failed.
1t now becomes his responsibility to
see that all this property is safely
transferred to other vaults and kept
for the owners or their heirs.
It cost more than $500 to drill the
boxes open and restore them again
to usable condition, Receiver War
dell said
Most of the renters of lock boxes
at the bank had cleaned out their
contents. Only 241 out of about l.
800 boxes were forcibly opened, and
all but about so of them were empty.

Civil War Memories Revived
As Bank Opens Old Boxes

Memories of the Civil War, reborn
from the depths of secret lockboxes,
were revived today when officials of
the District National Bank opened
long closed boxes as they prepared
to abandon the bank building at
1406 G street NV, to it's new
owner.
Among the souvenirs, brought to
light when steel drills bit into the
boxes and forced open the doors,
was one tiny lady's locket, apparent
ly of Civil War times, carrying a
picture of a soldier and a lock of
hair. Another relic was a yellowed
and many times folded paper, the
discharge of a Union veteran of the
Civil War who left the service in
1862.
A solid gold glasses case of ancient
date, heavy gold watch chains, dia-
mond rings and a wide assortment
of jewelry turned up as an official
committee of three, required by law,
witnessed the unveiling of these
long locked secrets. AS each box
was opened the contents were i'm

| Rabbits Feet
|FoI Thief, 49,;
He's Caught

The rabbit foot superstition has
taken decided setback.
A 19-year-old colored youth, Els
worth Madden, was being successful
Saturday afternoon in his rounds of
shoplifting. In one store he made
off with an air pistol used in target
practice, valued at $11.95, and in
another store a pair of leather
moccasins, valued at 81.
Continuing his rounds, Madden
went into a novelty shop at Glib
Seventh street NV. Detective Sergt.
H. E. Brodie, who was on the look
out for him, saw him enter and
trailed him.
Madden was not arrested until
he stepped outside with the goods.
He had stolen five rabbits feet, sold
as novelties for good luck.
In Police Court today the youth
pleaded guilty to the three charges
of petty larceny. Judge Hobart
Newman, sentencing him to serve
so days in Jail on each. commented:
The rabbits feet didn't do him
much good, did they?"
