The leading brands ballyhoo
the fact that they whomp up their

that their competitors have to

that all good cigarette outfits buy

business and whether they cure

rum or Hadacol is something that

In spite of all the so called
scientific tests made that are sup

scientific fact remains foremost
in the books, and that is this: any
person who smokes a pack of any
brand of weed q day, and who
inhales, is going to get a certain
amount of smoke into the lungs,

IMPRCMPTU BEAR HUNT ON MARATHON

Three local men and nearly a dozen visitors staged an in- promptu bear hunt on Marathon yesterday
 The bear was seen early in the morning With the numbers of visiting CTS and tourists off the Baranof in town, the police department was worried that an accident similar to the unfortu- nate affair Of three years ago m. ght be repeated To avoid the possibility, Jim Kirkpatrick and Harry Hall, police patrol men, and Ed Grounds, experi- enced hunter, climbed the noun tain to hunt the bear or frighten it away.
 The climbers were plainly visible from town, and many people watched the eastern and southern slopes all day, or until the climbers were back in town. The appearance of so many people on the mountain frighten- ed the bear back into the can yon, and it soon disappeared.
 Three years ago, a young wo- man was accidently shot and killed near the top of Mt. Mara thon on the same sort of occa- sion. In his excitement over the hunt for a bear that had been sighted from town, a young man fired at movement in the grass, killing the girl instantly.
 No firearms are allowed on Mt. Marathon since that time. But strangers and tourists, being unaware of the ban, might be injured on the mountain. The city council will be petitioned to post the mountain against hunting this summer, since the lower slopes now belong to the city. Mt. Marathon is the scene of the famous mountain race on the 4th of July.

VI FIRST SETTLERS OF SEWARD

For the first five sections of our growing history of Seward we have been mainly indebted 10 the writings of the late Judge Whlttlesey, as published in the Pathfinder magazine of May. 1920. For the present chapter. and for many more to come, our thanks are due to D. C. Brown ell, Junior, who is by any stan- dard one of this city's foremost citizens.
 The Brownell family was pioneer by instinct, one might say. They moved from the East coast to California in 1846, even before the gold rush of '49 It was one of the elder Brownells who took leading part in one of the vests historic events. the search and finding of the D n CT party. Don Carlos BroWneH Senior, the father of the present MT. Browneu. be- came one of the early settlers of Valdez, establishing a general store there sometime prior to 1902. Young D. C. Brownell Junior left Seattle on the old steamer Santa Ana in 1903. to visit his father in Valdez.
 He soon discovered that the passengers and the cargo of the Santa Ana were no ordinary lot. Most of them were bound for Resurrection Bay, and they talked freely about the great things to come from the build ing of the railroad and the cs- tablishment of the town. All this boom talk had profound effect on young MT. BroWnell. especially when one of the pas sengers, John Nelson, offered to bet a large sum of money that the Resurrection Bay settlement would have 25,000 population within two years.
 As proof that the party meant business, there was a pile driver loaded on the deck of the Santa Ana, to build the first wharf: there were horses for the rail road locatorS, and a crew of carpenters, mechanics. and la borers, all ready to go to work as soon as the Santa Ana reach ed Resurrection Bay.
 On board too, were John and Frank Ballaine, the leading pro- motors of the Alaska Central Railroad
 D. C. BroWnell Junior became quickly fired with enthusiasm. and as soon as the ship docked at Valdez, he hurried to his fathers store and told the Senior Brownell all the things he had seen and heard It was immedi- ately agreed that his ia ather should board the Santa Ana and go to Resurrection Bay, while the. younger man stayed in Val dez to operate the store.
 On August 23, 1903, the San ta Ana anchored in Resurrection Bay, and unloading of the pas sengers began. A photograph taken by Lilly N. Gordon shows most of the landi ing party, on horses, posed along the beach near the present rail- road depot. Just north of the beach, the photo shows dense timber, which, MT. Brownell says, completely covered the
