(Special Gateway Feature)
(By Babe Hayes)
R. C. Russel, an attorney of Great
Bend, Kansas, speaking of his trip
at a later date says:
“I am glad indeed to know that
a number of Kansas people are
making their way through Alaska.
Certainly there is no more beautiful
| trip anywhere than that, and I
iknow they will all come away as
j enthusiastic as we are.
“Wish I could be back up there
with you through the open season
and with sufficient time to do some
hunting and fishing. I am planning
to leave tomorrow with my family
for a short vacation through Colo
rado. I know that our thoughts will
turn toward Alaska many times and
to the most pleasant reception and
I courtesies that we received and es
pecially at Cordova.”

GATEWAY USED IN
TAXIDERMY OF LARGE
DOLLY HIDDEN TROUT
The Seward Gateway, besides
being read in almost every hamlet
in Alaska, used to line the cup
board shelves, wrap foodstuffs in
build fires, etc., has found an odd
purpose.
The Gateway was used in the
‘•.axldermy of% a Dolly Varden trout
as stuffing by Mrs. Nellie Neal Law
ing. This trout is now on display
in the prize trophy room of Law
ing’s Lodge on Kenai Lake.
However, the Gateway was not
found practical as a stuffing be
cause of the transparency of the
fish skin, and the reading matter
and the advertisements were vis
ible on the outside of the mount
ed fish, so Mrs. Lawing had to find
a more suitable stuffing .
The taxidermy of this Dolly Var
den was Mrs. Lawing’s first attempt
at the art and when one con
siders the care which must be tak
en in skinning the fish and the
many processes entailed before the
speciman is ready one can well see
that Mrs. Lowing possesses a vast
knowledge of taxidermy. The fish
appears very natural and is mount
ed against a blue background with
the waves and seagulls painted in
in a lighter shade.
