MOOSE STILL HANGING AROUND
Reports from Tunnel say that the
big bull moose that became entrapped
in an excavation during the recent
heavy snow and which became the
charge of the Alaska Railroad, officials
of which provided hay for its suste
nance, was able to leave the pit, but
is apparently appreciative of the good
treatment it received. Instead of
hastening to retreat to deep cover,
the animal has been hanging around
near Tunnel, satisfied that both the
provender and protection is superior to
that afforded in his more usual haunts
in the deep woodland.
Despite the temptation, the railroad
men have kept watch to see that no
one beefs the animal.
attle March 5, the equipment includ
ing a 100-horse power turbine, 75 kilo
watt generator and the latest style
vacuum machines. All the machinery
in the cannery will be electrically
driven.
