Fu.ll dlne, Red Cross nurse for Juneau, Alaska, chapter. In describing a trip of 200 miles to Yakutat. the extreme westward part of her district,' Miss Falldino says: "While in Yakutat a case was re ported which necessitated my travel ing in a fishing boat, motor boat, row boat, and pick-n-back in midstream with a brown bear looking on from the shore.' "The only boat which etops at this village," writes Miss Falldine, "makes the trip once a month. It stops on Its way in and then when coming back bo this gave mo 11 days in which to work in the village. All Kinds of Problems "I called on as many homes as I could and talked with as many of the people as possible. Everywhere I went I found a groat need for medical supervision. Uoth natives nnd whites came with problems of all kinds, so cial service problems, mponshine, pool hall and general conditions in the vil lage, which la in a most unsanitary condition. "The houses are built on the side hill, 'one row above another; nil garb age is dumped outside the doors and no attention to proper drainage is given anywhere. The fish are dried outside tho houses, hung on racks and consequently this draws huge flies. "Tho natives themselves are dissat isfied with conditions that is. some of tho more progressive ones; but they are nlmost helpless themselves. They do not understand how to go about making changes. "While in Ytrkatnt a enso was re ported to me and I set out to make my call, which required a round trip of 120 miles on a fishing boat. I went as far as I could ln"the boat and then took a small motor boat up the stream. When wo had gone ns far as we could In this wo got into a row boat. I had two men with me and a E SALEM. Ore..

Jtlo is a rancher. His slogan Is "farmer, fa voring income tax. federal bank, uni form and unchangeable ratio of money." "I'phold tho principle of tho gov ernment loaning money direct to the farmer," he aays in his platform, "at a rate of interest- low enough that they will be able to meet the payment of principal and Interest. Congress should regulato the volume of money in circulation and keep such per cap-( ita uniform and unchangeable so that prices cannot be Influenced by con traction or Inflation. I favor income tax, federal banks. League of Na tions or world court, equal suffrage. I am opposed to high tariff, profit eering and to Wall street domination of our money or to any law that gives special favors to the rich." E Vor.TLAND. Ore., Jan. 22.

You can imagine my surprise when we stopped, it seemed to me in midstream, and one of the men climb ed out of the boat and turned to me and very calmly said, 'I will have' to pack you the rest of the way.' "I looked at the water and then at my regular hiking boots, utterly Inadequate for this emergency, and then I looked at the man and said, 'Do you think you can do it?' He assured me that he could, so without more words I perched myself on his back and was toted to shore. "When we reached shore we had a tramp of about a mile into the woods. The hruah wn vprv hith nnd thick. I After some time we reached an old deserted Indian village where the sick woman, whom I had come to help, her husband and two little children were the only inhabitants. Finds Vtter Destitution "I found that she was dying of tuberculosis; that her husband was drinking and beating his family; and that there was no one to care for her but her eight-year-old daughter, who was also taking care ofiier little four-year-old brother. There was very little to eat and the house filthy and the masqultos so thick that the family all slept under soiled coverings over tho bed which, though it did keep out the mosquitos, also shut out the air. "After caring for the mother and leaving a few supplies we had to re trace our steps and were just about to set out across the water, pick-a-pack again, when we spied a brown bear. Wo had no gun but we did j have a little dog. It may havo been the dog, or it may have been because Ithe fish were so plentiful along the shore that bruin did not pay any nt jtention to us, but waddlod off down 1 tho shore. AVe did not stop to make J very close acquaintance with him, but hurried out to tho rowboat . which seemed miles away."

That district gave him $100, 000 when his fight was at its height." President. Lewis indicated that he hoped for a renewal of the wage con tract which is In effect now. "There havo been only a few resolutions," he said, "demanding increases. There are several demanding shorter worl,'.ng hours. "There are resolutions from several states asking that the provision of the constitution against membership in the Ku Klux Klan be withdrawn. That ban was written in when the k!an was first organized. It provides expulsion as a penalty .whenever klan member ship is proved, but who can prove it? "There are also resolutions denounc ing the klan Iri strong language. Ail of them, pro and con will be referred to tho committeo on legislation."
