■ICS CLAIM AMERICA
NAMED AFTER LI
MADISON, Wis. June 12. (£>)—
It now develops that the Norweg
ians, not content with claiming
that Leif Erickson should be hail
ed as the discoverer of America,
contend that the continent was
named after Eric the Red, Leif’s
father. This discounts the belief
that it came from that of Amerigo
Vespucci.
They argue thus: ‘‘Amt” in Nor
wegian means “land.” Hence the
“land of Erick” and eventually j
America.
.Also, the descendents of the ;
Vikings, and there are many in !
Wisconsin, argue that Erik has
as good a claim to the discovery
of America as Columbus.
G. M. Scammon was among
those leaving today. He left for
Canyon Creek.

N PURSUIT OF DEAR
COT FINE SPEEIMl
)
/ Obtaining a bearskin clad only
in his bare skin was the strange
lot befalling E. J. Bath, who re? j
turned to Seward yesterday from j
the Knik vicinity where, with a j
’ hunting pardner, he went thru !
' a week of hazards which would
' put some of the famous exploits
of Rex Beach’s heroes, to shame.
Do tell!
Yes indeed, brother!
The first night out from Palmer
, they had a difficult time trying
j to make their pack horses walk,
i a hand layed walk they had spent
. much energy on; the horses were
taken back and the second start
was made aiming in the general
direction of across the glacier.
Thirty-five miles were reeled
off before the boys called it a
day and ,after breasting the last
water crossing, which was ac
complished by ftotal dishabille,
their clothing and outfit being
carried across the icy blue and
fast flowing steram, on the top
of their heads
Just as they brought the last i
pack across one caught a glimpse
of a black bear within shooting j
distance and a couple of well
placed shots by Bath put his
‘‘light-’ out. And both hunters
still naked.
After putting on their shirts j
and as they were just slipping in- j
to their trousers, another bear was;
j sighted but, the animal shoved
his gears into high and speedily
moved away from that place.
! Some say that the weird ap
parition of the two unclad sports
jmen frighened the first bear to
; death but the wounds shoot that
story all to pieces.
In the meantime the glacier has
broken, caused by the penetrating
rays of the sun, and upon their
> way to the railroad, the men were
again compelled to walk miles in
an effort to find a passable i
water crossing only to repeat
their previous performance, that
of undressing in the mosquito and j
“can’t ee-‘em” laden atmosphere,
and plunging into the powerful .
current. After many dangerous at
| tempts in which they lost head j
nets, shoes, and other items of
necessity, and with one match
j left, they made it. A roaring fire |
| soon dried of the muck the boys I
’ had covered their bodies with
las a protection against pests, then
the long hike to Eklutna which j
they reached just before rqid- ;
I night, tired, hungry and com- I
pletely worn out.
This isn’t half of the yarn but a
sufficient to reveal Bath went thru f
an experience which not only is
seldom met with in this day of
alleged civilization in the North -
country, but one which should
bring great joy in retelling to
his grandchildren.
And Bath brought back a beau
tiful specimen of a hide; which is
the main thing.
