CLOSED FOII SEASON
MANAGER SCHUPP AND 55 MEN
PASS THRU EN ROUTE TO
SEATTLE
The whaling season is over, opera
: . I
tions at the Port Hobron plant coming
to a halt on November 6th and with
I the closing of the bi.^ station a most
I successful season is climaxed. Lead
| by General Superintendent Henry
| Schupp, 55 men who have been em
; ployed at the station all through the
j season, arrived in Seward on the S.
! S. Lakina and departed on the
| vessels are now en route to Seattle,
The remarkable record of 242 hump
| back whales were caught and one
| right whale. The catch was con
sidered excellent due to the lateness
of beginning operations which began
on July IS with two whalers. These
; boats were on the job alone until Oc
tober 5 when four other whalers from
the Akutan fleet joined. All of these
vessels are now en route to Seattle
four having stopped in port yesterday
to take on oil.
At Akutan 339 whales were caught,
which number was slightly under last
season’s record which was 496. The
Lakina has aboard 258 drums of whale
oil for shipment to Seattle, also 600
sacks of fertilizer.
It is stated the Port Hobron plant
will probably begin operations next
spring during the forepart of April.
Regarding the right-whale it is said
this monster of the sea checked in at
100 tons and measured 5S feet in
length. The humpback whales aver
age between 35 and 40 tons each. Op
erations at the local plant would have
continued all through this month, it
was thought, if weather conditions
had been in the least favorable but
! the recent gales made whaling ex
| tremely hazardous.

“The World’s Capital Hiker” arriv
ed in Anchorage a fortnight ago, af
ter making the journey afoot from
Chitina to Fairbanks, and thence by
train to Anchorage. She announced
that her mission was to hike from
capital to capital until she had cover
| ed all of the capitals of the world.
Tn support of her claims she exhibit
ed letters from all of the capitals of
the States, including many from Gov
ernors and others certifying that she
has visited them. She also announced
that she had been accustomed to re
ceive free board and lodging, and
that the only money she accumulated
was by the sale of a book or pamph
let, announcing her mission. She re
ceived free lodging from Anchorage
hotels, and many purchased her book
to help her along and extended ‘Alas
kan hospitality” in its entirety.
It was after having spent the fort
night in Anchorage that the "World’s
Capital Hiker,” began her return to
the States which ended so disastrous
ly aboard The Alaska Railroad.
As far as known, the woman hails
from Arkansas and it is also reported
that her husband, or a former hus
band, is now a resident of Anchorage.
