A MODERN JONAH
Folks whose belief in the Biblical story of Jonah and
the whale has been ridiculed by skeptics may find comfort
and satisfaction in this story, told in Capper’s Weekly,
and submitted for what it is worth.
According to the account, one James Bartley, an Eng
lish sailor, was missing after the crew of his vessel had
captured a large sperm whale off Falkland Islands in
February, 1891. After working a day and a night remov
ing the whole’s blubber the stomach was hoisted aboard
showing signs of life. Upon cutting it open Bartley was
discovered inside unconscious, but was shortly revived
only to be found to be a raving maniac.
He recovered his reason in about two weeks and re
lated his experience of having been thrown from a boat
and slipping into the whale’s stomach. He said the heat
was terrific, but he was able to breathe, although he soon
became unconscious and knew nothing more until he re
gained his senses on board the ship.
It is said that Bartley’s skin was bleached to deathlj
whiteness by the heat and the gastric juices of the whale,
and remained so, although he otherwise recovered
We merely repeat the story. Believe it or not.
China’s antipathy to Americans is said to have beer
aggravated by the introduction of American chop suey.
Henry Ford strongly opposes capital punishment, bul
still manufactures an instrument of mild torture.
We nominate Senator Jim Reed for Czar of politics tc
keep elections free from scandals.
Bacon is at its best immediately after
the curing process has been fully
completed — and the great Frye
Plant adds efficiency of distribution
to skill in preparation. That is why
this unusually fine Bacon is "every
thing the name implies.”
Each day’s production of Frye’s
"Delicious” Brand Bacon is care
fully adjusted Jo meet exactly the
daily demand in the territory it
serves.

TWO PEAKS IN VALLEY
SMOKES EMIT SMOKE
Two of the largest peaks in the
Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes
area were belching huge columns of
smoke as the steamer Starr passed
by, say arrivals on the vessel which
returned to port yesterday. One pas
senger believed he saw flames in the
heavy outpouring of smoke and it
was his opinion an eruption was im
minent. Other passengers stated
slight tremblors had been felt for
the past few days.
REV. HOTOWITSKY, VISITOR
Rev. I). Hotowitsky, of Belkofsky,
was among the well known arrivals
from the Westward yesterday on the
S. S. Starr. It is stated Reverand
Hotowitsky is making the present
trip so that he may join a local
fraternal order.
Heavy snow storms have swept
over the Seldovia region during the
past few days, report yesterday ar
rivals from Cook Inlet.
Weather conditions at Kodiak is

CUSTER'S LIST STAND
IN “THE SCARLET WEST”
A reproduction of Custer’s Last
Stand is one of the many thrilling
features that make “The Scarlet
West,” a First National picture to
night at the Liberty Theatre, one of
the outstanding film productions of
the year.
This episode in American history
has no dramatic counterpart, and the
producer, Frank J. Carroll, has re
produced it with a fidelity that only
six months of research could insure.
The camera has visualized this mem
orable event with such graphic viv
idness that it is a sight never to be
forgotten.
One sees the gallant general and
his soldiers fighting against bitter
odds, gradually being surrounded by
the thousands of galloping Indians.
One by one the troopers drop in
their tracks until only a small band
remain. Standing in their midst,
erect and unafraid, and firing his
rifle as rapidly as possible, is Custer.
Undaunted, he fights to the end. A
moment after his last man is slain
he also drops to the ground—a hero
meeting a hero’s death.
