Neill has on her bookshelves. Miss Bell is well-equipped to give her books real authenticity of back- ground, having grown up in the Icy Straits locale, which she chose for her first three books. One of these, “Pirates of Icy Straits” is a story of the fish pirates who made life interesting, to say the least, for cannerymen and fishermen alike in former days. After spending some time in San Francisco, Miss Bell hopes to re- turn to Alaska, even though she has not yet been able to decide just employees to a point of making the Wwelcome to any and all services.'as yet concerning price changes in which section of the Territory she canning business a post-war help The meetings will start at 7:30 with one-way fares. for employment and a paying pro- position to the stockholders.
