the SS Otsego now in port loading
coal.
Thirty-three years of age, about
five feet eight inches in height
and weighing 185 pounds, Paris is
as tough as the 16-penny spikes
which he bends and straightens
with ease and then, with a spec
tacular movement, breaks the
spike in two.- He demonstrated
his prowess to The Gateway staff.
When he lost his job in Seattle
recently he went downtown and
bought a couple of kegs of spikes
and began to do his stuff. • Since
then he has appeared before many
functions demonstrating his tal
ents which have been developed
in two years. Now, his arms feel
like railroad iron. When in a
playful mood he tosses 450 pound
weights about with his teeth.
Paris is a sturdy, clean-looking
young fellow, a member of the
Seattle Elks’ lodge and a veteran
of the World War, having served
overseas with the 361st Infantry,
Co. G, 91st Division. He was
in the trenches for nine months
and makes no “bones” about it,
that was long enough.
His daily routine of exercise
reads something like this: Upon
arising in the morning the first
thing done is a thorough brush
ing of his perfect set of teeth;
then a glass of water. For 15
minutes thereafter nothing is
heard but grunts, thuds and the
swish of cable pulleys.
For five years he has been an
employee of the Libby, McNeil &
Libby Co., fishing in the Bristol
Bay area, mostly at Nushigak. He
goes south on the Otsego, then
transfers to the SS General Gorgas,
sistership of the Otsego, on which
he goes Westward for the season’s
fishing.
While in Seward, Paris has been
1 getting acquainted for he plans,
sometime in the near future, to
spend a winter here; he likes the
looks of the town and surround
ings.

MISSING TRIPPERS
RETURNED SIFELT
The residents of the lonely
Westward regions keep good watch
over each other. If anyone is
gone from their usual habitat
for longer periods than was anti
cipated, the citizens of the var
ious communities in most cases,
waste no time endeavoring to ob
tain government assistance, but;
band together with the facilities!
at hand and “hit the ball.”
William Eckholm and Jack Lee,
both well known trappers of Ka
natak and equally as well known
in Seward, were long overtime in
returning to Kanatak from Wide
Bay. So upon boarding the SS
Starr, on its last trip to Seward,
H. N. Evans informed Capt. C. E.
j Anderson of the circumstances and
a trip to Wide Bay was made.
There was no sign of the trap
pers. The Starr turned about for
Kanatak from which point a
search party was formed but upon
arriving Lee and Eckholm were
there! They had returned to Ka
natak by a short-cut behind is
lands and were thus missed by
the lookouts on the vessel.
COME TO TERMS.
ST. LOUIS, April 28. (IP)—-Charles
‘"Chick” Hafey, heavy hitting out

now enroute to the Port of Sew
