CHECKING OVER TROPHIES SHOT
FEW MONTHS AGO; IS WELL
PLEASED
Back in Minneapolis there was pub*
j lished recently the following fine
article credited to Captain Billy Faw
cett with whom Seward folk made
their first acquaintance with the past
summer. The article was accompan
ied by a group of excellent photo
graphs.
The story:
Alaska, mystery land of glaciers
and gold, should not be overlooked
by persons interested in a real out
ing.
This counsel, coming from a true
sportsman like Capt Billy Fawcett,
| Robbinsdale publisher, should have
j considerable weight.
Back in Minneapolis after an ex
tended visit to the Territory of Sew
ard’s profitable “folly,” Capt Fawcett
is thrilling the farm hands and stay
at-homes around the stove-league cir
cuit with tales of hunting and camp
ing in the frozen north. Too, he has
his trophies of mountain sheep, bear,
and moose to substantiate his narra
tive.
A Distinguished Company
“In company with Dr. Howard C.
Harper of Newcastle. Pa., and H.
Thomas Cotton, an exporter from
New Orleans,” Capt. Fawcett said to
day, “we sailed on the S. S. Aleutian,
leaving Seattle on August 27. The
trip to Seward, Alaska, required
seven days, but they were days filled
with scenic grandeur The steam
ship followed the inland channel with
the exception of 36 hours on the Gulf
of Alaska. We stopped for several
hours at Ketchikan, Wrangell, Jun
eau, Cordova, Valdez and Latouche
on our way to Seward.”
On the steamship, Capt. Fawcett
declared, in addition to 70 comely
P school marms were several distin
guished passengers, including Mrs.
Minnie Kennedy, mother of Aimee
Semple McPherson, and Frank Rich
ardson Pierce of Seattle, noted writer
of western fiction stories.
