Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead’’ to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

iH.F.ALEXANDER. PRESIDENT!
EDITOR GATEWAY:
Dear Sir:
“As winter is onto us and the long
evenings are at hand I thought it
might interest your readers to follow
me, that is, in their mind, on a moose
hunt I have had since I came to Sew
ard. Well, here goes, we are off!
“Two, of us, my partner Jack and my
self. We have our kit, our provisions
and blankets, two guns and a suffi
cient amount of aim munition. We
go out the line on the car that used
to run on this road one trip a day to
Kern creek and return. We boarded
the car and started on our journey
and when we reached Mile 23, now
Lawing, we had dinner and started
on our trip down the lake. We had an
excellent trip and finally reached the
landing at the lower end of the lake.
Our first experience was finding a
camping place for the night. We
located a cabin, built into the side of
a hill with one window next to the
high ground and on entering the
cabin we found a stove made of two
coal oil cans, end cut out and shoved
into each other. Fine and dandy!
We rustled around, gathered some
wood, built our fire and prepared
supper. After dinner Jack said to
me ‘Now Mac,'you must sleep on the
bunk.’ There was the frame of an
old bunk standing next to the wall,
j covered by an old moosehide, so I
spread my blankets on the frame and
prepared my bed for the night. There
was an opening dug out of the bank
so that light could come through the
window and in this opening there
were old cans and pieces of dry sal
mon, in fact there was a little of
everything. Before we were ready to
retire Jack asked, ‘Mac, if a bear
should come through that window
during the night what would do? He
would eat both of us.
“Now remember we came hunting
moose and not bear. I have no love
for any bear and I don’t want to find
any! We smoked and talked, finally
retiring for the evening. Jack rolled
his blankets on the floor and was
asleep as soon as he hit the hay. I
was just about to go to sleep when I
heard a rustling of the old tin cans
outside of the window. I was too
tired to get up and investigate so I
went to sleep. I had not been sleep
ing more than 25 or 30 minutes when,
crash went the window and a black
bear shot through aperture. When
Mr. Bruin struck the old rickety cot
that I was sleeping in, it broke down
and the bear and I both landed on the
floor. Well, for a minute I thought
my time had come. What straighten
ed things out the quickest was Jack
yelling ‘shoot him! shoot him! When
I managed to get clear of the bear
I got tangled up in the blankets and
could not untangle myself. I think
the bear was frightened more than
Jack or I but the question most im
portant now was, what to do about
the Mr. Bruin. We did not want him
there and I didn’t think he wanted
to stay so called to Jack to open the
door and let him out. I did not know
enough to go and open it myself and
had no desire to shoot him for in case
we only wounded him, it would have
been good-bye for us. So I managed
to reach the door and opened it. The
moonlight beamed through the door
way and the minute the bear saw
it lie made a mad rush for the open
air but in doing so rushed against
Jack both falling pell mell on the
floor and a general rough house ~was
had by all. The bear was finally con
descending enough to take his depar
ture and he was not a bit more pleas
ed too escape than we were to have
him go.
“When Jack and I squared around
and got the wreck cleared away
