DOMESTICATED MOOSE
NO IJKE-UM SQUAWS.
Arthur Berry, who is now in Sew
ard from the Kuskokwim country, is
the owner of the most wonderful
moose alive. Up on the banks of thdt
stream where Mr. Berry lives and
conducts the Kuskokwim Trading
Company, he has a cow moose that
comes into the house and lies down
like a pet dog. When the door is
locked Mrs. Moose comes up to the
window and looks in. Then to the
door she moves and tries every means
to gain an entrance, and when the
door is open she rushes right in like
m frolicsome puppy dog. Mr. Berry
got the animal when she was but a
few weeks old and has raised her.
She follows him everywhere and has
absolutely no fear. The only human
being she car.not tolerate are the In
dians and especially the squaws. On
occasions she goes after the native
women and i bases them. Her meth
od of fighting the women is to kick at

ABANDONED BY HER CREW
The steamer Pavlof, which went
ashore last month on Tugidak island,
off the southwest coast of Kodiak isl
and, is reported to have been aban
doned as a total wreck. The vessel
is high and dry and the high tides
have half buried her with sand. The
Pavlof lost her propeller and drifted
ed for thirty miles before going on |
the beach. Her call for assistance
was answered by the steamer Ala
meda but the latter vessel was un
able to render aid as the lines re
peatedly parted under the strain.
