HUH Gin MAN
A chap from Oklahoma City
took away with him last night
the proud title of champion fish
erman of Alaska.
How come!
Because in six hours trolling
in Resurection Bay, off Lowell
Point, he caught 30 salmon aver
aging 10 pounds each. And if
this feat has been excelled it is
not written in the statutes.
As evidence, and to prove his
case that this was no fantastic
dream of one of the brood of
Isaac Walton’s, a moving picture
of the string was shot.
| “I have fished from Key West, j
! Florida to the Yukon Circle but
i never have I experienced the
thrill as yesterday’s snappy fish
ing,” stated A. C. Weicker, the
new champ, just before he stepp
ed aboard the Admiral Watson j
enroute south. “And if I had j
dreamed you had such sport !
here I certainly would have ar
ranged my itinerary in order
that several days could have
| been spent here. Curses on the
i luck!”
Accompanied by Mrs. Weicker,
the champ entered Alaska by
way of Skagway, over the White
Pass railroad to Whitehorse, down
to Dawson by river steamer, and
then down the mighty Yukon
and up the Tanana to Nenana.
They arrived in Seward Siinday
from Fairbanks spending a day
at Anchorage. A visit was also
made into McKinley National
Park and there, Mr. Weicker
said, is one of Alaska’s biggest
points of interest and nothing
should be left undone to lure
tourists to view that majestic
natural wonder of the North
American continent.
The Alaska Railroad amazed
him in this respect, that it ap
pears to be in such an excellent
condition for its young term of
existence. He expressed the opin
ion, gathered from residents
along the railroad belt, that
roads, and more roads, feeders
to the railroad system, should
be built so that the line might
be given the chance of making
its own way.
Mr. Weicker ys one of Okla.ho
na City’s most prominent of
msiness men being identified in
;he transfer business.
Certainly, he is coming back!
reported.
j The expedition’s jack train left
last month for the Alaska range
district, and consisted of two
guides, two horse wranglers and ;
two cooks. The prominent sports
jmen were to take a plane from
Anchorage and arrive at the
hunting grounds in four hours.
It required some weeks for the
pack train to arrive at the same ;
destination.
| About six weeks will be spent
I in the field after which they
| will return to Seward about Oct
ober 1, enroute south.
