January Number Of Alaska
Sportsman Now On Sale
The little village of Wiseman,
located north of the Arctic Circle
and famed as the “Arctic Vil
lage” of Robert Marshall, is fea
tured in the fact article “North
to the Koyukuk” in the January
number of The Alaska Sports
man magazine. "North to the
Koyukuk” is the story of a wan
derlust that seized two yo^ng
men of Fairbanks and took them
hunting and prospecting into the
frozen winter wilderness around
this Arctic village. It was written
by Robert Claus and is in two in
stallments.
Another story of unusual in
terest in the January issue is
that of the old Seward-Bering
Sea mail boat, the auxiliary
schooner. Joseph Pulitzer. To
day the bones of this once
staunch craft are bleaching and
rotting away on the shore at
Chigmk. Mystery and legend
have surrounder her since she
was run aground in December,
1920—19 years ago. Her true
story is told in “Skeleton on the
Short ’ by Gerald A. Estep.
As Ketchikan at this time is
looking forward to the possibil
ity of breaking her all-time rec
ord of rainfall, oxer 15 feet in
1916, particularly fitting for resi
dents of that city is Kathryn
Bradford’s lament “Rain, Rain,
Go Aaway” also in the January
magazine.
To her it just doesn’t seem
right that Alaska should go “trop
ical’’ to the extent of rain al
most every day.
Other stories in this issue of
“Alaska's Magazine’’ are “The
Cliff Dwellers” by Manley E
Sweazey being an investigation
among isolated islands and inac
cessible places into the lives and
habits of the kittiwake; and “Wol
ves, Eagles and Seals” by Wil
liam Putvin a story of how one
man makes a living bounty hunt
