and Mrs. Herb Jenks, who had recently returned to Bluff from a Winter spent in the States, Mr. Olson in his motor boat was seen speeding down the coast supposedly goose hunting then they packed lunch for a real goose hunting trip up the coast to Spruce Creek. After an absence of nearly a week, when comments had commenced to arise regarding their lengthy trip and perhaps the agonies he must be suffering, early Monday morning came their return and Bluff's entire population blinked in surprise for out of the boat stepped not only Mr. and Mrs.

Jenks, but Mr. and Mrs. Olson too. Bretta Nixon, from Olympla, Washington, and C. V.

Olson, were married on June 1, at 9:30 P.M., by U. S. Commissioner C. C. Tanner of Nome.

Events that led up to the marriage were guarded so secretly that no one excepting the Jenks', who had known Bretta Nixon for years, were given any knowledge the plans until" after their return.
