The former President was asked whether he liked to be a writer and he said: “I don't. Of course I don't find it so difficult to'write about something I know very well, such as my own life, but as a career of writing—" he left the sentence sunfinished. Coolidge said all of his writing | was done long hand. He carried his left hand bound as the result of a| sprain suffered while fishing last week. “I was just trying to land a big trout. In the excitement I slipped | on a large rock and hurt my hand. The doctor said it was a bad sprain but T landed my fish all right. I guess it was worth it.” II(um’s Leaves in |Outboard Motored Boat for Seattle In his second attempt to make the 960-mile distance between Juneau and Seattle in less time than 60 hours required by steamers, Ray- mond Haines, in his outboard motored 15-foot boat, left Juneau at 1:22 o'clock this afternoon for the Washing- ton State city. The dash is being spon- sored by the American Pow- erboat Association. Haines expects to reach Seattle, bar- ring accidents within 50 hours. Haines first attempt failed two hours south of Ketchi- kan on June 2, when the crankshaft broke. He was towed back to Ketchikan and then came here by steamer to make his second attempt. Bad weather has delayed previous departure. R. C. Mize, weather man, said Haines should have fair weather for the trip. . ° ° ° 000000 cs0000 e INSPECTOR 1S EXONERATED IN FATAL SHOOTING |Border Patrolman Absolv- ed from Blame in De- troit Liquor Tragedy DETROIT, Micu., June 13.—Pros- ecuting Attorney James E.

J., of the University of Santa Clara, accom- panied by Frank Klatt and Charleg Bartlett, students of the same Uni- versity, left on the Fisheries boat ‘Widgeon, for Annex Creek, where the party will be met by Lieut. Schaife, and the Geodetic Survey party making their base there. Father Hubbard and his students will spend a week or ten days in the Taku country. Father Hubbard has explored the region that the survey party will chart, and is offering the results of his experience to facilitate their mountain climbing routes. The hanging valleys of the Taku opposite the Taku Glacier are the main objective of the Santa Clara scientific party as Father Hubbard is of the opinion that the region contains rich data on Ice Age geology. To quote the eminent geologist: “In screening some of my pano- ramic pictures of last year I noted at least three distinct levels of quite extensive hanging valleys op- posite Taku Glacier, which should have very typical firns or rock bottom glacial lakes in them, and existing as they do at the different levels mark periodic stationary po- sitions of the great glaciers that covered the region during the last Glacier Ice Age. Also the Twin |Glacier with its unique lake, mor- aine, and ice falls in unique in the whole world, there being nothing similar reported by scientists any where else. “Months of fruitful and scientific work could be done in the vicin- ity of Juneau and even then the region would hardly be touched. It is a geologists’ paradise.” Father Hubbard will return in time to give three public lectures before starting west to continue his explorations of last year in the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. B — R. E. Robertson, Juneau attorney, returned on the Alaska from a short business trip to the States. Mr. Robertson went south on thej Alaskg-Washington Airways plane Juneau, when it took Gov. G.
