FOX inn MINK
The extremely high prices for red
fox caused an influx of fur buyers tc
the Westward where a good catch is
reported. From the Kuskokwim tc
Kanatak where the deluge of buyers
reached its height, numerous episod
es and dog races are related. *
Carl Lottsfeldt from Takotna was
the first one to start but owing to the
long distance he had to travel his
team got too tired to keep up with the
fresher teams along the route.
One buyer from Bethel was having
good success when an envious com
petitor spread the news that this fur
collector was a prohibition agent and
the natives all took to the hills so that
the buyer could get neither fish for his
dogs nor a chance to look at furs.
A buyer representing Moees Levy
& Co., of St. Louis started with a
native and a poor dog team from Kan
atak. They got into deep snow drifts
in the mountains and the natives put
the tenderfoot mushing ahead of the
dogs on snowshoes, so he gave up
and went back to the roadhouse where
he got into a poker game and was so
lucky he declared he made more than
by buying furs.
Two prominent business men frbm
kanatak on receipt of telegrams start
ed in a mad scramble at the same
time for Port Hieden on the Bering
Sea side. They were running neck to
neck when they decided to fight it
out Dempsey-Tunney fashion to de
cide which 'should go on, but while
they were making a ring their dogs
got into a fight which caused a post
ponement of the bout.
An enormous amount of furs seem
ed to have been collected as the trans
portation agent at Kanatak refused to
deliver the mail from the Kanatak
postoffice for the regular fee and the
S. S. Starr was obliged to make spec
ial arrangements to get the furs
aboard. ' ~

DISTRICT HIS PISSED
To1.u Anthony, age about 70-vears,
who f^r the last 30-years has b?en
a pe' ir-nnent resident of Sunrise, died
iveck, according to word receiv
£ 1 in Seward.
There is not an cldtimer in this
district but who knew the veteran
Alaskan and everyone one of them
will feel a personal loss in his depart
uve, so well was he liked. Details
as to his passing have not been learn
ed by The Gateway at this time.
Mr. Anthony owed placer claims in
the Sunrise district and at odd times
worked the ground. For many years
he has been in the employee of the
Bureau of Public Roads, during the
summer season. His mining proper
ty is located on Six-Mile Creek.
Known survivors include ttwo child
ren in the States, a boy and a girl.
Ills wife died many years ago and
this broke him up badly and he lost
all desire to visit Outside. Prior to
settling in Alaska he was engaged in
the jewelry trade.
This is the second year f the Port
lock school and conditions there are
excellent, Seward arrivals from Sel
dovia bring word.

The Grebe
"Cotortone”
l hushes annoying sounds and ah
lows notes of voice and instrumen t
to reach you in full natural tones
IT enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
j speech or music from high, thin
! pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The "S's” and the “HV' are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miaa a demonstration of this great
Grebe innovation.
