JIMMY HARRIS FELL
THRU ICE OR WAS LOST
BLEAK, COLD TUNDRA
Among the missing, will doubt
less be the verdict on the fate of
Jimmy Harris, who left his home
with Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Nelson
at the mouth of Oxepock river, at
Nushagak, to go down to Carl
Nielsen’s, about 20 miles down the
river.
Shortly after Jimmy left home it
began to snow and a real blizzard
came on about a week later. Some
natives brought word to Mrs. Nel
that Jimmie had not been at Neil
sen’s cabin. The two dogs that were
with Jimmy came back to Neilsen’s
about a week after his departure.
Up to a few days ago, according
to information sent to The Gate
way, it was the general opinion
that Jimmy fell through the ice
or was lost on the tundra and
perished from hunger and cold

HENRY SQUAWKING
LONDON, Jan. 28, —The Even
ing Standard in a-purported trans
Atlantic ^telephOftiC interview with
Henry Ford, quoted the manufac
turer as saying the" stoppage in his
Detroit plant was due to efforts
of certain big bankers to gain con
trol of the Ford concern.
Long Island, for over 50 years
continually a fox island, located
! about 50 minutes run from the
! town of Kodiak, is to be put up for
: sale on February 14, 1933 to satis
fy creditors.
This island was made famous by
I the noted Alaskan authoress, Bar
! ret Willoughby, in her book “Rock
| ing Moon,” which was a best seller,
| and which was written about this
! island while she was visiting here. |
A great many of the old land-!
1 marks and buildings are still in ex- (
J istence. The first owners were j
the old Samedi Propagating Com-!
pany. They stocked the island |
with foxes and cattle, as there is
about three square miles of good
grazing land, much of which has
been planted to clover and pea
vine in the early days and which
now grow prolifically, and as it
is also heavily grown with beach
rye and other grasses and has a
lot of timbered spaces, which form
good protection in all weather, iti
is an ideal livestock location, being
free from the cattleman’s worst en
emy, the kodiak bear.
The beautiful land-locked har
bor, which is a large lagoon, sur
rounded by timber-clad hills, over
a mile in length, with a fine hold
ing bottom of blue clay and an en
trance of about 100 feet, where a
boat can lay in any kind of weath
er on a small anchor, will accom
modate boats up to 18 feet draft
and would give anchorage to hun
dreds of small craft.
This lagoon long has been noted
for its herring, which show up in
October of every year unfailing
ly, with the beaches full of clam
beds and waters alive with all
kinds of ducks all the time.
The island has been stocked with
deer, the southeastern species, of
which there is a herd now of at
feaaet 100* Also the first eastern
raccoons were stocked here three
years ago and have multiplied rap
idly, there being an extremely
large number at large now, In ad
dition u> blue: fafffe, think and

It ‘Hi a aeti-feeding island, as so

beaches, and-the oceanward rocks

group of lakes and, ponds blatter
ed about the island pretty evenly,
some about a mile in length and
full of trout.
About 40 fox pens and the same
number of mink pens, with wire
and lumber on hand for over a
hundred more- There is a large
2-story bam, fish dock and house,
' three-rom modem bungalow,
running water and bath, a seven
room owner's dwelling, all modern,
modem water system, baths and
, modern plumbing. . In addition
there is carpenter shop, cook house,
store, bunkhouse, two cabins at
each end of the island.
There si a fine 36-foot cruiser,
double-ender, and other power
boats and dories. In fact every
thing complete, tools and all.
This will be placed on the block
to the highest bidder above the
debts.
A big part of the feed is procur
