Mulvihill, conductor on the | White Pass and Yukon Route, and | a sister, Mrs. W. F. Beitinger, whose husband' is a White Pass brakeman. W. J. Mulvihill, father of the family, is Chief Train Dispatcher for. the White Pass and Yukon Route and has been Mayor of Skag- way for the past 14 consecutive years. Only one of the Mulvihills was not- present at the reunion, a sister of the Juneau Mulvihills, Mrs. J. H. Smith, of Wenatchee, Washington. Simmons Flies Radio Beam To Kefchikan Shell Simmons returned to Ju« néau this afternoon from a trip to Ketchikan yesterday evening during which he tested the radio beam from Gravina Island at Ket- chikén, northward. Simmons flew Norman Cameron, CCC officer at Klukwan, by radio at the time of the tragedy. Hearing a shot upstairs in a room above the radio room from which he was speaking, Perkins asked Forward to wait a moment, and after in- vestigating, told him Klaney had shot himself through the chin, the bullet ranging upward and tearing off the side of his head. The In- dian lived to walk downstairs, how- ever, and did not die until several hours afterward. Perkins ‘asked radio station KINY of Juneau to broadeast a request that a doctor go to Klukwan from Haines. Asdoctor and the Deputy U. S. Marshal arrived at Klukwan before Klaney died. Bud Whiteside and R. R. Browa to Ketchikan yesterday evening, dropping Cameron off at Petersburg to install a radio set for flier Tony Schwamm, then continued on, pick- ing up the beam and “riding it in.” N. Lester Troast was a returning passenger from Ketchikan and Cameron returned from Petersburg. J. E. Boyle was flown from Ket- chikan to Wrangell. Simmons also flew the beam on the northward trip and found it “right on the dot.” e KASHEVAROFF IMPROVES The Rev. A. P.

Mrs. Crumrine first does her sketches in pastels, then reproduces them in oils. Her oils of her Indians usually have in the background the totem of the subject of her portrait —a detail that adds interest to the picture. Many familiar scenes in South- east Alaska are included in Mrs. Ctumine’s landscapes. Her newest picture is Mendenhall. Then there is Davidson Glacier, near Haines, several lovely scenes of Lake Dewey and the mountains around Skagway, and a Mt. Edgcumbe that is a fayor- ite among the group of Sitka. pic- tures. Flair for Animals Josephine Crumrihe, whose work, though unlike her mother’s, dis- plays a talent just as fine, has an especial flair for animals. In addition to Wolf, she has with her in Juneau pictures of Kobuk, a dog brought from Teller to Chil- koot by Major Amis, and Sandy, owned by Mrs. Dawson of the Cari- bou Hotel at Carcross. Sandy’s claim to fame is that his mother was one of Admiral Byrd’s dogs on his Antarctic trip. Father Gallant’s Big Ben, a large St. Bernard that is the special pet of the Mission, is another of Miss Crumrine’s models. As ugly as her dogs are beautiful is her painting of Clifford, Wood- land Park baboon. In addition to animals, Miss Crumrine paints children’s por- traits—but prefers to paint dogs un- POLLY AND HER PALS v BUT HOW QOULD 1 REMEMBER | WAL, YUH IT? wi SO HAI WEASEL -EYED WRETCH / TIME HOPPIN' BY PY LIKE --- ONE YEAR TO ANUTHER SEEM S LIKE ONLY By CLIFF STERRETT OH, SAM'L/ YUH SAYS “TH' SWEETEST SLUSH/ EVEN IF YUH ARE, | Chicago Art Institute where she was a pupil of Vanderpoel.

After a few weeks in Skagway they will leave for the Midnight Sun cruise down the Yukon River. Mt.

From Nome they will go as far north as they are able before the season closes. Mrs. Crumrine hopes to complete her collection of Native portraits and Josephine will add to her, dog pictures—which are so fine that it is difficult to believe that they were done by so young an artist.
