Adjutant George Gullufsen of Al- ford John Bradford Post, American Legion, would like to have either, perferably the former. The Adjutant, who has been Service Officer, lo, these many years, has had many difficult as- signments but declares that it is the first time he has had to go bear hunting to “help a comrade,” but its bear oil he must have, if Dr. Douglas O. Anderson of the fering from an ear ailment which is causing him a great deal of trouble He believes Alaska bear oil will remedy the situation, he wrote in a letter to the Alford John Bradford Post here in Juneau, ask- ing if the comrades will co-operate oy supplying same for which he will be pleased to pay. Of course, the unusual communi- cation went to the Adjutant for “immediate attention,” and today that worthy gentleman was polish- ing up (he old blunderbus and inquiring about the haunts of bears. Said Bear Hunter Gullufsen as he squinted down the barrel of his bear with a half pint of oil, for a comrade down in Portland. Oh, Lord, the life of a Service Officer.” FOSS, HUNSBEDTS RETURN HERE FROM KETCHIKAN TODAY Harold B. Foss, President of the H. B. Foss Company, Juneau archi- tects and contractors, arrived here | from Ketchikan on the steamer North Sea, after a short business trip to that city. Accompanying Mr. Foss was his mother-in-law, Mrs. B. Hunsbedt, and her daughter Diana Hunsbedt, who have been visiting in Ket- chikan for the past few weeks.

T SPANISH WIDOW | AND SON HERE T0 MAKE HOME Mrs. Vrooman Arrives with Judge and Mrs. Wicker- sham from War Zone (Continued from Page One) it as best they could without proper medical equipment, and though it had to be’broken again when he réached this country, and will be in a cast for some time, Daniel is bearing up smilingly under his in- ; 9 jury. | 1 Mrs. Vrooman and her son were the only passengers among those from Spain to the United States. Also, she was not strictly a refu- gee, for she had money with her to pay her way, and the refugees were without funds and the Central Am- erican countries, Guatamala was one she mentioned, paid through their consuls, the way of their coun- trymen fleeing from Spain. In San Francisco, the travelers were met by Mrs. Wickersham, their permanent entry into this country arranged and their safety assured. Hurrah for U. S. i Arriving in Seattle young Daniel Enrique, who has the blond hair and fair skin of the Vroomans and his mother’s dark eyes, acquired the feathered head dress of an Ameri- can Indian—the kind young boys play Indian with—and an Ameri- can flag which he proudly carried about the streets of Seafttle, clutched in his boyish hand. He is still wear- ing his feathers in Juneau. He was disappointed because he couldn’t start school today, but he'lt” be going soon, and doesn’t seem a bit concerned that his young com- panions won't be able to understand his Spanish, nor he their English. His mother speaks Spanish, of course, and French fluently, but little English. However, she said, she will learn and is already mak- ing a vallent effort to conquer her new language. i Everybody Delighted Mrs. Vrooman,—Dolores is her melodious name,—likes Juneau, is so happy to be with the Wicker- shams. Judge and Mrs, Wickersham are delighted that she is here and Juneau will be happy, too, in wel- coming to its midst the tiny dark woman, with the lovely sad eyes who has had such a terribly unhappy year. “And don’t forget to tell how the Governor helped us when we thought we had lost Dolores,” Mrs. Wickersham said. Late in August, when their last word from Mrs. Vrooman had been that she was to sail August 14, Judge and Mrs. Wickersham were concerned be- cause they had heard nothing fur- ther from her. Through Gov. Troy word was received from Secretary of State Cordell Hull that Mrs. Vrooman had left Marseille on the Rialto, August 26 and was safely on her way to San Francisco.

From all I could observe) the election is a side issue compared | with general business activity,” Alex Demos of Douglas finds him- self in the same unusual position as did once the famed Mark Twain The latter when he read the report of his premature death, replied that the report was somewhat exagger- ated. Veteran Demos echoes the sanie sentiment. Some months ago. Demos, a World War Veteran, applied for his bonus and in due time received the fa- miliar card telling him that his application had been duly received and it would be acted upon in due course. Weeks went along. Every- body in Juneau and Douglas got their bonds but not Veteran Demos. He wondered about it some, but then, the card said, “don't write, your application will be acted upon in the regular course,” so he just waited, watching the other boys spend their money.
