A group of Camp Fire Girls
departed Saturday morning for
an overnight camping trip near
the Valdez glacier. The trip was
planned for a number of weeks
but winds and severe cold made
it adviseable to postpone the hike
until this week-week. Thru the
kindness of W. J. Gilson the girls
will stay at a cabin at the foot
of the glacier, the cabin being
maintained by Mr. Gilson as a
way-station for the Ramsey
Rutherford mine which he oper
ates 12 miles farther up on the
glacier. Members of the group
making the trip were:
Mrs. N. C. Brown, guardian;
Marie Dimond, Pearl Ekemo, Ruth
Meals, Katie Holland, Ann Bat
rinex.
Several other members were
prevented from going on ac
count of illness, his camping trip
is probably unique in the annals
of Campfire groups in that the
entire distance must be covered
on skiis and the fact that the
girls will camp at the very foot
of a large valley glacier in what
is still the middle of winter.

FOURTEEN FOOT ME
INCH BROWN BEAR
KILLED NEAR KARLUK
If such carnivorous, omnivorous,
pachyderm mastodons such as
this are roaming abroad on Ko
diak Island, the residents of that
beautiful gem in the North Pa
cific had better pack up and
move over to Seward.
Alex Brown, chief of the tribe
I of natives at Karluck, a reliable
fellow, through Charles Madsen,
field manager of the Kodiak
Guides Association, has made
known that a native named Char
liaga has killed a brown bear
which measured 14 feet and three
inches without stretching!
The above, which is almost
unbelievable, coming from a re
liable source, lends prestige to
its truthfulness.
