ISLAND
KODIAK, May 7, —(Special to
the Gateway)—Fresh from tri
jumphs in the dark continent, made
I memorable by that record-breaking
book, “Three Boy Scouts in Africa”,
, Robert Dick Douglas, Jr., American
Eagle Scout, one of the authors of
that bbok known to hundreds of
thousands of Boy Scouts thruout
the world, will start this month to
bag himself a member of the gi- |
gantic family of Kodiak bear. As I
a guest of the Kodiak Guides Inc., |
and under the personal guidance of
Field Manager Charles Madsen, he !
! will hunt thru the canyons and !
| mountains of Kodiak Island, anxi- j
ou3 to secure one pelt for himself'
but more eager to get pictures,
i facts and impressions that will go
i into his text book on big game
hunting in Alaska. He will arrive
here on May 24th and will hunt
until June 14, after which a possi
ble whaling hunt may" be staged for i
I him. by the whaling fleet at Portj
Hobron. or it is possible that the j
Seward Chamber of Commerce may j
induce him to take a trip to Mt
McKinley before he must return to
Seattle on July 8.
As all the world knows, young
Dick Douglas, who is 18 years of
age, David R. Martin Jr., and Doug
las L Oliver, were chosen some
thing over a year ago from 600,000
Boy Scouts in America for a hunt
ing trip to Africa under the care of
Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson,
whose motion pictures of animals ,
of the veldt and jungle have thrill
ed millions. The trip was sponsor
ed by George Palmer Putman, mil
lionaire book publisher and explor
er. who is also behind this trip of
Dick Douglas to Kodiak and Alas
jka. Altho young Douglas does not
officially represent the Scouts on
this expedition, arrangements have
already been made by Putman to
publish another book on his ex*
perienc.es.
The idea for the trip was propos
ed by Charles Madsen, who was one
of the organizers of the Kodiak
11 Guides last fall and the proposal
,: met with enthusiastic acceptance
by Mr. Putman. Furthermore it
immediately took on public inter
est because of the big sale follow
ing the issue of the book on Africa,
j William Randolf Hearst put the
power of his many papers behind
it; the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce will entertain him; the rail
roads vied with each other to carry
the young sportsman from the east
to Seattle and Mr. McMicken of the
Pacific Steamship Co., arranged to
bring Dick to Kodiak and return
him safely to Seattle. Here the
hunt will be borne by the Kodiak
Guides and several trips are plan
ned to various well known retreats
of the great bear in the hope of
getting many pictures and one good
trophy. Negotiations are now pend
ing with Henry Schupp, superin
tendent for the American Pacific (
Whaling Co., which has a fleet of
vessels at Port Hobron, to take the
voung man on a whale hunt.
He leaves Seattle on the Admiral
Evans May 15 and will meet Boy -
Scout delegation at Kodiak and *'
Tuneau. At the capital he will oe 1
received by Governor Parks, and if
time permits he will give his lecture
on his African experiences which 1
I he is under contract to deliver over
the Crtatauqua circuit. It is possi- j
ble that he may also have time to
give this talk in Seward before he
comes to Kodiak.
Word has been sent to the Sew
iard Chamber of Commerce that if
|they.care to interest themselves in
;the matter to the extent of secur
iing the co-operation of General
Manager Ohlson of the Alaska
Railroad, young Douglas might be
induced to take a trip to McKinley |
Park instead of the whaling voyage J
because his limited time precludes j
the nossibility of his taking both
trips.
