, HUNTING DE LUXE
i -
• It should be a cause of congratulation to the residents
of Seward and many others of the smaller communities
along the Kenai Peninsula, that not only are they blessed
with some of the finest game hunting and fishing grounds
in the world but they have the means of getting to them
in comfort and with expedition. It is no longer necessary
to plan days and weeks ahead, provide much expensive
traveling and camping equipment and count on being
away for perhaps weeks before being able to get back to
home and work.
The change in primitive conditions and which does
not necessarily mean airplanes beyond the means of the
average person, is the new and better motorship service
around the Kenai Peninsula, and for this we have no
hesitation in giving due credit to Capt. Heinie Berger and
his fast, comfortable motorship Discoverer.
Capt. Berger who has transported many parties of
Outside hunters to the Kodiak, Alaska Peninsula hunting
fields, and who maintains a regular passenger, mail and
freight service between Seward and Anchorage, touching
at every town of big or little importance to keep those
folks in touch with a world that they former heard from
at long intervals, is now trying to help the local hunters
to get to the hunting fields at their own convenience rath
er than his own. If they will give him due notice he will
fit his schedule as best he can.
He has made arrangements to go into Tustumena
Lake country where moose, bear and sheep abound, thru
special river boat transportation up Kusilof river, from
Kusilof town where the Discoverer calls. This wonder
ful country is within reach of the modest purses of Sew
ard citizens for some of the finest hunting in the world.
The fact that the Tunney-Heeney prize-fight lost
money indicated that the American standard of intelli
gence is improving slightly.
ANY WAY, IT FEELS LIKE IT
According to press dispatches, Doc McDonald of
Redding, Calif., got his legs full of quills when he at
tempted to kick a porcupine out of his way. The fact
that he only kicked with one foot and got the quills in both
legs, is proof positive that the porcupine shot him like a
machine gun, and he swears this is the case, thus reviving
a controversy that has raged sporadically since the first
quill struck the shrinking flesh of the first novitate of the
silent places.
We can only exclaim “Why bring that up?” It in
volves too many painful memories, it provokes the old
doubts in our minds and the minds of many others who
blunderingly monkeyed with a porcupine for the first
time, and retired precipitately to eternally question
whether we had been shot or merely punctured. Suffice
it to say; that we, personally never went back to settle the
question. We are willing to leave the matter up to the
savants, other crazy editors and nature-fakers. We will
let sleeping porcupines lie.
Boys shouldn’t smoke before they are 21, says Babe
Ruth. In th meantime they may get some pointers on
how to do it gracefully by watching mother and little sis
ter.
If the opposition is to be believed, no candidate is fit
to hold the office to which he aspires.
Senator Heflin fell thru a bed a few nights ago. He
should be more careful in choosing his bunk.
“Candidates are now appraised by liquor measures”.
—Brunswick, Ga., Pilot. They should be also sized up by
dry and square measures.
Any act directed against the financing and develop
ment of our latent mineral resources is a blow against
the prosperity of Alaska. . J
