SEWARD APPRECIATIVE
Mr. William H. Miller, vice president of the Inter
national Metal Hose Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, who arriv
ed in Seward today, is one of the principal members of
the party of big game hunters who have chartered the
S. S. Starr and will be taken to the Alaska Peninsula in
quest of big brownies, by Field Manager Andy Simons
and his staff of guides, packers and cooks—all of the
Alaska Guides, Inc.,—and is one of the several prom
inent American business men who helped put before U.
S. Congressmen information concerning the true per
ilous conditions existing in the hazardous waters of
southwestern Alaska in the winter time, due to the en
tire lack of coast-guard protection i nthis area; between
fall and soring of each year.
Mr. Miller, after his return from a hunt in this
vicinity last fall, during the time when several fatal sea
accidents occurred, involving the loss of lives and ships
in the Prince William Sound district, and later, the mer
ciful marooning of the staunchA little steamer Starr
which was tossed on the reefs of Da^k Island and with
no coast guard vessel to come to her aid, or to take off
the passengers, crew, mail or valuable cargo, addressed
vieorouslv worded communications to the Congressmen
of his state to which he received promises of investiga
tions from members of the Commerce Commission of
the United States Senate.
Though nothing definite has been heard from his
appeal, as yet, we feel confident that coming from a
man of his standing, attention will be focused on this
matter and in due time relief obtained. So, in behalf of
those who follow the sea, and citizens of Seward, we
take much ole?sure in tendering him the sincere thanks
and appreciation due him for his efforts in this behalf.

exceeding rare. Like all big game, wherever found, the Kodiak will
get away and keep out of trouble if he can. But, if cornered, even a
rat will fight. Two men, each armed with a high-powered rifle, are
none too much for the brown bear and he must absolutely be broken
down by a shoulder shot or a cracked vertebra at the outset, even
if death does not ensue immediately, or—look out for trouble. In
addition to the brown, Alaska affords splendid hunting for griz
zly, the black and the glacier bear—the latter being found only in
Alaska and Siberia.
The Kenai moose is not only the largest game animal on the
Western Hemisphere, he is also the biggest member of the deer family
in the world. On the Kenai peninsula, he attains a weight of over
1600 pounds, with an average spread of antlers of five feet. I was
fortunate enough to bag One of the largest and most symmetrical,
moose heads that have ever been taken in Alaska last year, with a
* spread of 66 inches, palms 44 inches by 16 with 32 points and weigh
ing 67 pounds after the skull had been removed. My bear hunting
was not quite so successful as the animal caracoled down 500 yards
of a snow slide and dropped into a canyon 100 feet deep and spoiled
the hide. That’s one of the many reasons why I am going back for
another five month’s sojourn in May. *
The famous white mountain sheep, with their graceful, curling
horns is also something the hunter dreams about. They are to be
found only in Alaska and frequent the highest peaks, along with
their second cousin, the mountain goat. Any hunter who can nego
tiate some of those lofty mountain-tops and bring down his big
horn, earns his laurels, especially if he tips the scales at 200. Per
haps the easiest taken of all the wild game is the caribou—rather a
dull-witted beast who migrates from north to south by countless
thousands in September, and offers an easy mark. And the antlers of
an old bull caribou are as desirable as those of the moose, although
they do not attain to the same size. In very truth, and minus all
exaggeration, Alaska is the hunter’s paradise, armed either with his
rifle or his camera; if he fails with the former, he makes it up with
the latter. Thank heaven—
“There will always be one or two who hold
Earth’s coin of less account than fairy gold.
Their treasure, not the spoils of crowns or kings
But the dim beauty at the heart of things.”
