Northern Flight
Kathryn L. Galen, representing
New York Life Insurance Company,
returned to Nome Saturday night,
via the Mirow Air Service, after
touring the northern secton—visiting
K tzebue. Candle. Deering and Tel
ler—and reported a wonderful trip
as well as being a lucrative one,
from a business standpoint.
Mrs. Galen will spend a month
or more around Nome contacting
people for life insurance before fly
ing to the interior. She states that
trip will probably take her clear
through to New York, during the
holiday season.
Mrs. Galen is stopping at the Lin
coln Hotel, room one, where she
will be pleased to have anyone in
terested in insurance, call on her.
Mrs. Galen on her return to Nome
from Northern points received a
message from the Vice Presdent of
the New York Life Ins. Co., to the
effect that she is one of the "Top
Leaders" in the sale of life insur
ance during the past month in the
L'nited States possessions, thus qual
ifying her to attend the annual con

Sept. 19th to 21st. But owing to
the slowness of mail service and hav

and other northern mining camps,
and a rush of business in Nome to
attend too, it makes it impossible
for her to attend the convention this
year, which she very much regrets.
Bear Stories Told
While Beach And
Others In Juneau
Bear story contest between Rex
Beach, noted author and Dr. W. W.
Counci, resulted in a tied score, ac
cording to a canvas of the spectators
in the Gastineau Hotel lobby recent
ly
Rex Beach led off with the story
of a cow-puncher riding a mule j
through the southwest, who roped a I
bear. He shifted the mule into high
but seemed to remain stationary.
Looking over his shoulder, he saw j
the bear pulling himself hand over !
hand up the lariat. The cowboy left
the mule shortly before the bear
arrived. He fled on foot and again
looked back to discover the bear in
the saddle "building a loop" in the
lasso rope. According to Beach the
cowboy reported that ‘Tf I hadn’t
made it into a patch of jack pines,
he would have got me.”
Dr. Council's story, which he sol
emnly decared to be true, athough
to date no one has ever believed it,
concerned a bear hunt in South
Carolina. He said that the hunt j
was attended by about 30 men and '
50 dogs. One man, who suffered from
arthritis rode in a cart pulled by a j
horse. The arthritis patient was I
parked in a large meadow in the j
woods and the others spread out for j
the hunt. A bear was started and the j
hunters closed in. Bear, dogs and
hunters all arrived at the meadow j
where the horse-and-buggy hunter [
was stationed, at the same time. The
hunters were afraid to shoot for fear
of accidents, and the bear decided
that the only place of refuge was
in the cart.
True. Oh Yeah!
"Horace fell out and the horse
ran away with the bear,” Dr. Coun-1
cil said. "We killed ^he bear under
the barn. That is really a true story j
but nobody ever believes it.”
Will Rogers who attended the bear
story session did not compete but
was given honored mention for his
published statement that he would
club bears or wolves away from the
plane while Wiley Post hunts in the
Interior—Juneau Empire.
