CUTTING OFF THEIR NOSE
WE
have heard of alleged hunters shooting up govern
ment property while out in the woods, such as mile
posts, boundary signs, etc., but it seems that some fisher
men have taken up the poor idea of sportsmanship of de
stroying property, for upon the recent inspection of fish
traps in the Prince William Sound area it was discovered
that on two sites trap lights have been shot out.
Just something to shoot at is the only possible excuse
any one could have but at the same time it should be re
membered by these fellows that the lights are put on those
sites for their protection as well as to others, for the safe
ty of navigation.
NECESSARY
CAYS J. C. Penny, chairman of the board of directors of
^ the Penny Stores, in a recent article in the Fourth Es
tate:
“And now we have come to a time when the smallest
newspapers in the country are looked upon as necessary
in the complete rounding out of a newspaper advertising
campaign. Newspaper readers have always looked upon
the papers as messengers which carry local facts.
“Every town with a newspaper affords sufficient local
news to make the local paper important regardless of the
overlapping circulation of the larger papers in that com
munity. It gets a closer reading. It is looked upon to
carry the story of the local merchant or of the national es
tablishment serving the local public through local con
cerns.
INTERESTING DIARY
ON PARADISE VALLEY;
WILD GAAAE MOUNDS
Casual like, without any comment,
entries such as these are seen in the
diary of Jack Bailey, fur buyer who
returned to Seward a few days ago
in company with Alec Bolem, from
Paradise Valley. The boys stayed a
week around that district and for his
own benefit Mr. Bailey kept a diary.
Extracts from it contain the follow,
ing notes.
July 26: “While I made supper
Alec took the glasses and located
about 30 ewes and lambs. July 27:
Got gome fine pictures of 20 or 30
ewes and lambs on Snow River. Saw
about 80 sheep, six black bear, two
moose, and four nice rams. Saw a
black bear chasing a young moose
calf. Looked like both were holding
their own as they disappeared from
sight. About five minutes later we
heard a noise and wre thought it was
the bear and that he had caught the
moose but soon a cub bear came in
following fast on the trail of its
mother. As I am writing, another
big cow moose just stepped out on
the beach of a little lake we are
camped on at the mouth of Paradise
Valley. The fire is burning bright
but the moose doesn’t seem to be
afraid for she is giving us the once
over. That makes three moose and
twm bear in about 15 minutes.
July 28: Following the trail the
bear was running the calf moo-se over
last night we went about 300 yards
when we heard an old bear growi.
■She had caught the calf and killed
it by breaking it down in the small
of the back. iHer cub was with. her.
We saw three other bear and got
some very nice pictures of one. Saw
about 45 or 50 sheep today. July 29:
Came up to the foot of Snow River
Glacier wrhich has just started to.
break off. We saw one huge piece
break and fall. What struck us as
being quite remarka'ble was <the
green grass and the many flowers
that abound in the little valley grow
ing down to within two rods of the
glacier. Saw about 60 ewes and
lambs and several rams that were
very high up, so high that it was
almost impossible to take pictures.
We saw some brown and ‘black bear
signs, also some of moose.
July 30: Came down to the head
of Grant Lake Creek then to the
head of Grant Lake and across the
glacier streams to the south side of
the lake and made camp in the new
cabin of A1 Sollers. We saw 20
sheep this evening. July 31: Getting
down to A1 Soller’s saw mill our
clothes were almost torn from us as
there is no trail at all. just timber,
under brush, and rock bluffs. Aug
ust 1: Took some movies and stills
of Sollei's. -saw mill. Walked down
to Mile 23, crossed Kenai Lake by
motor boat, tnd came to Seward from
Mile 18 by taxi, ending a very enjoy
able trip.
LECTURER COMING SOON
| It is expected that soon there will
arrive in Seward Maude Francis,
member of the National League of
| American Pen Women, who is in
Stour in the Territory giving lectures.
She is a well known rostrum speak
er and possesses much personality.
RADIO VILLAGE” HAS
MSI ON EVERY HOME
NEWPORT, Eng., Aug. 6. (IP)—Mal
' pas, a new suburb of this town, has
been dubbed “Radia Village” because
every house is provided with a wire
less aerial and a mast, of a standard
pattern.
Landlords have made these addi
tions to prevent the erection of un
sightly masts of all kinds.
i SURVEY OF TRIPS IN
, The survey of trap sites in Prince
| William Sound has been completed
(by Lance E. Hendrickson, engineer,
War Department. Mr. Hendrickson’s
inspection of fish traps in Territorial
waters are made with only one ob
ject in view, that being the possible
danger to navigation. There are ap
proximately 50 traps in the Sound ;
area, he said, and the plants are j
getting all kinds of fish. Though the j
run is later than usual this year, in- ;
dications point that the season will j
be successful.
Capt. Berger of the Discoverer is
not only an excellent navigator, Mr.
Hendrickson remarked, but is a
companionable “cuss” and constantly
sought to render the best possible
service. He has a fine, fast, and J
comfortable boat, and the people of ;
the regions he serves should feel j
I highly gratified, concluded Mr. Hend
rickson.
i
MIKES TWO TRIPS OVER
Navroji Hormasji Vatrak, of Har_
vey, Rd., Gandevi, Bombay, India,
vas among the arrivals in Seward
last evening from the Interior and
owing to the fact that during his
fourth trip around the w’orld he never
saw such scenery as was revealed to
him from the upper Turnagain Arm
district to Sew’ard, he left again this
morning for Girdwood where he will
transfer back to the Seward bound
train and once again revell in the
gorgeous display of nature. He will
arrive in the city again on this
evening’s train.
For over 40 years he has been in
the employ of the British government
and the municipality of Bombay and,
as w’as stated before, though he has
j toured the globe on four different
'occasions, this is his first trip to
Alaska. Mr. Vatrak registered at
the Overland hotel.
IT LIBERTY TONIGHT
Tingling with the romance of the
sawdust ring and the glitter of the
gasoline flares, “Bigger Than Bar
num’s,” at the Liberty theatre to
night, presents by far the greatest
epic of the circus ever filmed.
Directed by Ralph Ince, and with
an unsurpassed cast headed by Viola
Dana, Ralph Lewis and George
O’Hara, the picture is hailed by crit_
ics everywhere as undoubtedly the
biggest drama of the year.
With the spangled background of
“The Big Top” as a stage, the theme
of the story takes the spectator be
hind the 'scenes and into the every
dya life of the performers forms one
of the most absorbing stories ever
shown on the screen—a story of the
deepest interest to every man, wom
an and child in the country, and
when -to this is added the imposing
cast who are among the supreme
celebrtities of fllmdom, the result is
a picture worthy of the highest
praise.
