THE KODIAK GUIDES ASSOCIATION
The Kodiak Guides Association with headquarters
at Kodiak, scores another triumph with its new 1931
booklet on Big Game Hunting in Alaska.
Its business-like appeal will enthrall the most satiat
ed and exacting client. In its modesty and accuracy the
booklet is highly creditable to its author and organiza
tion. Not only does it provide the big game hunter with
an accurate, readable and informative panorama of
Alaska's wild life but it mirrors the living fabric of the
denizens of the wilderness. Its truly lovely passages
possesses individuality, originality and charm. It is
beautifully printed and replete with new and original
photographs never before presented in a printed fold
er.
The booklet is as faithful in detail as it is broad in
scope. The text, presented in summation, is especially
timely for the busy executive and big game hunter who
contemplates a trip to Alaska. Under such chapter
headings as The Call of the Wilderness; Alaska, the
Wonderland; Alaska—Happiest Hunting Ground; The
Kodiak Guides Association; The World Famous Kodiak
Grizzly; Spring Hunting; Great Brown Bear and Bar
ren Ground Caribou; Kenai Moose; Mountain Sheep;
Brown and Black Bear; Migration of Thousands of Car
ibou; Mountain Goat; Mountain Sheep; Moose, etc.;
Polar Bear, Walrus, Seal and Ugruk; Unexplored Re
gions in Central Alaska; Sight-seeing Trips; “Valley
of Ten Thousand Smokes"; and Wild Animal Photo
graphy; Scenic Route to Mt. McKinley National Park
and Interior Alaska; Airplanes; Guides; Packers and
Cooks; Camp Equipment, Boats, Horses; Guns, Ammu
nition, Clothing, etc., the organization describes and
sets forth in a direct and dignified manner complete
and comprehensive information about their service.
The pictures furnish an example of illustrations
that seem in perfect harmony with the text and devel
oped with richness, artistry and elusive charm. The
booklet serves to emphasize once more the fine fore
sight and scientific planning on the part of the leaders
of the association the clock-like regularity with which
their plans are carried out.
Little or nothing seems to have been left to chance
for which provision has not been made. For the thrill
of the unknown, the romance of the struggle against
unseen dangers so often associated with big game hunt
ing in Alaska, adventurous hunters will turn to the Ko
diak Guides Association for all that Alaska affords in
“the happiest hunting ground on the American conti
nent."
One of the most important items the government
has constantly omitted in the alleged desire to create
tonnage for the Alaska Railroad, the one paramount
act which will increase tonnage, is the establishment of
a department working solely on the mineral resources
of and adjacent to the railroad belt. Colonization, agri
culture, tourists and reindeer, yes, but never a concert
ed effort toward development of the metal resources.
If this Progressive party will be dominant in Con
gress next December why isn’t this a good time for
Alaskan politicians to make a little “medicine" wit!
them? The Democrats have always had a strong Alaska
platform in their national program; perhaps the Pro
gressives will listen to our plea.
Soon a month of the Alaska legislature will be gont
and not one of the brave lads, who were spitting far
wide and handsome before election, have made a mov<
to repeal one of the curses hovering over the land—th(
Alaska Bone Dry law. And this is a “wet" crowd, too.
Natural gas in the Kettteman Hills district, Calif,
is said to be sufficient to supply the State for 119 years
Official Washington has enough gas of potent qualify
to pulmotor the entire country, including Alaska, foi
several hundred years. % ,
