The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-10-11

Attacked by a grizzly bear near Paradise Camp. about 27 miles up the Stikine river, last Sunday morning Frank S. Barnes, prominent, pion- ger Wrangell man and head of the Wrangell Packing company, was critically wounded. and after treat ment here Sunday night was taken south aboard the Baranof Monday He was given an even chance for recovery when he left here and later report received here from the vessel said he was stronger and his con- dition favorable Plan was to take him to Portland, his former home, where Mrs. Barnes went recently for a visit with her parents, MT. and Mrs. 0. M Hummer, prominent Portland residents for years.
 Barnes, accompanied by H. B. Thornquist on the Butterfly, left here week ago Thursday up river to take L. J. Skaggs, former grocery chain store operator and now head of, a vast chain of drug stores on the west coast, and F. M Stokes, Portland architect and contractor, on a moose hunting trip, an annual outing the men enjoy together every fall.
 Sunday morning the four men, with Grover Foster who had gone up some weeks before to put the camp in shape, had gone down to a lake, formed in the arm of the river, about 800 yards from camp for little duck shooting As the morning wore on, Foster went back up to the cabin, over the open trail which had been constructed this summer. They were all about to return to camp, Barnes moving on ahead up the trail. He had gone but a short distance when the trio at the foot of the -Skaggs, Stokes adn Thornquist-and Foster who was already at the cabin, heard him shoot and shout. At first the men thought he said, i've got him." Thornquist related, believing he possibly had shot a moose. They started running up the trail, hesi- tated a moment to listen, but hear ing nothing rushed on Directly they were at the scene. Barnes was lying wedged in between two willows at the side of the trail where the bear had apparently thrown him. He was suffering from vicious wounds about the face and head, wounds on the chest and legs. His scalp had been torn virtually off and one side of his face terribly mangled. He was wedged in such a tight place that it was necessary to cut down two trees to extradite him.
 With all speed, the men carried him to their outboard river boat and raced for Wrangell and medical attention. Showing indomitable courage, Barnes, who retained con- sciousness throughout, advised his companions on what to do Thorn quist related, and while lying in the boat coming down river checked continually on where they were and when to speed up the motor in cer- tain places, slow down in others.
 living there in undoubtedly ter. rife pain and unable to see, Frank ran that motor every step of the way down the river" Thorn luist said. 'In reply to our concern, he'd say I'm o. k, very comfortable ol similar remark. I never saw suct

iron courage"
 Reconstructing the accident, the men said that undoubtedly what Barnes had shouted when attacked was She's got me" Foster said he thought the grizzly, believed to be a mother with cubs, had scented him as he went up to the cabin ahead of the party and as Barnes came along was set to attack the first thing in sight, fearful for her cubs. It may be the bear had crossed the trail between Foster and ahead of Barnes, leaving heHazenbs on the| other side, thus putting Barnes lnI the precarious position of being dir ectly between the mother and her cubs as he came along.
 Struck From Rear
 The bear struck from the rear and Barnes swung to fire one shot be- fore she was upon him. It is prob able the men said, Barnes shot just about the same time the animal hit him, the gun being found some distance away as If the beast had struck it from his hands with her giant paws. The bear had gone when the men arrived at the scene and it is not known whether she had been hit.
 Barnes, Thornquist, Foster and T. J. Mcbride, all Wrangell business men, established their cabin at Par adise Camp last spring and they have been up there many times dur ing the summer. Foster, who had been in camp for several weeks, working on the trail said they had but in view of the activity at camp thought little of the animals being close by. In fact, he had never car- ried a gun while building the trail and saw no bears in the immediate vicinity of the camp. Belief is that the one attacking Barnes was wan- dering down toward the river with her cubs and became alarmed when she scented the men.
 Taken South
 Skaggs and Stokes accompanied Barnes south on the Baranof from here and at Ketchikan pr. H. 0. 1 Turner formerly of Wrangell, join- ed the party to be with the injured man all the way south. Dr. J. H. Clements, who treated Barnes here, said that while he was badly wound- ed he had an even chance to re- cover Skaggs and Stokes, wealthy Portlanders and long time friends of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, said no ex- pense would be spared to see that Barnes was given every attention that medical science could provide. It is anticipated that considerable plastic surgery will be necessary. 1 Skaggs s the former head of the grocery chain bearing his name and now operates the Payless drugstore chain throughout the west. Stokes is a prominent architect and contrac- tor with business throughout the country. Both make their homes and i headquarters in Portland.
 Thornquist, Mcbride and Foster went back up to camp Wednesday to bring down the Butterfly and the guns, other duffle which had been left there when the party brought Barnes to Wrangell Sunday. They returned last night.

Loss of Markets

Agriculture Department experts in
Washington have expressed concern
over the effect Of the war and other
events on foreign markets for Amer
lean cotton and tobacco. two products
of vital concern to this immediate
section and to a large part of the
South.
AS for tobacco. growers OF that COM
modify have already felt-Seriously
this year for the second time-the eff
fectS OF the war. and will feel it for
several years yet to come.
Shrinkage OF cotton exports did
not await the war, but has been a
concern OF growers for Il long time.
In this particular instance. the big
eeSt factor mitigating against the
South is rapidly increasing cultiva-
ton Of the staple in other countries.
The size of the crop now is no less,
generally speaking, than II was De-
fore Hitler started on his rampage.
Price control has to some extent
hurt exports of both crops But
there have been years when vastly
more American cotton was sent
abroad at much higher prices than
were paid for decreased exports
even before the war clipped world
trade. High prices in those other
years undoubtedly, however, influ-
cnced the increase in production in
other countries where labor is cheap
er and standards of living nothing
like up 10 tne level in this country.
To the 10y goes most OF the blame

tered sections of the globe, particu-
darly in the British dominions, to-
bacco has of late been grown more
and more in competition with the
American crop. The Far East had
not overlooked the American source
of supply until the japanese conquest
O. China interviewed. But the fact
Of the war has caused more Tobacco
to be grown there, closer home, than
ever before, and the threat to the
American industry lies i'll the extent
10 which that will be continued when
peace comes again.
Outcome OF hostilities is OF vital
concern when the future is cOnSld-
cred. II the dictatorS ultimately win
deciSively, they will determine the
extent of our foreign trade in this ana
other commodities in those sections
they will control. And those sections,
if they win. will embrace some of the
best customers the United States has
had.
On the other hand, if Britain is
victorious. the Nazi-FaSciSt grip on
things generally will be broken, and
in due time trade routes will again
open and better days should come Iot
American tobacco and cotton.
There is apprehension in Washing
ton lest foreign markets be lost for
ever for American production OF these
commodities. \ combination of cir
cumStanceS, including the war, III
creased production in other countries
and price pegging by the government
constitutes the Chief cause OF the
worry.

Department officials are making

facturerS are now producing Sulphaie
Of potash. He said that he had check

American Potas! Institute and in

State c.. 0. P. Plans

Republicans in the State have an
nounced ambitious plans for their
campaign during the remaining SIN
weeks OF the election drive. but one
portion OF the program will be just
30 much lost energy. That Is the send
ing of organizers and contact men
into each of the one hundred coun-
ties to spark local organizations,
where possible
Take Vance county. for instance.
Oflhand. we would estimate that the
Democratic vote here is around 85 to
80 per cent Of the total. II has not
always been altogether like that, but
Tor d long time it has. The party IS
50 hopeleSsIy in the minority that it
rarely puts a county ticket into he
field. The only chance its followers
have of voice in local officialdom
is in breaking into the Democratic
primary. and they do say that has
been done in recent years, though
hardly to such an extent last May as
usual.
What good will it be, then, for the
G. o. P. State organization to send
contact men and organizers into
Vance? AS things now stand, II
would not change the result apprec:-
ably if all the big guns of their ar
tillery were hauled up for a concen-
tration or this county. So far as
Vance is concerned, third term o.
what not will not materially affect
the count here in the presidential
contest. Why even religion and liq-
uor scarcely made dent back in
1928. and neither Of those consider
ationS is at all an issue now.
