DIARY ...
First bear of the season local
ly was reported this week when
a party, consisting of Eli
Metrokin, guide; Arcady Pestri
koff, Pete Walkoff and Forest
G. Ayers, returned to Kodiak
Sunday after a successful 6-day
trip that took them to Terror
and Uganik bayp.
The bear, which measured 8
feet, was bagged by Forest
Ayers in the Uganik bay dis
trict. Only 3 bears were spotted
on the jaunt.
The trip was made on the
Kerry and the group got in some
cod fishing and clam digging
before returning.
Back in 1930 a wealthy man,
a Mr. Brown, with business in
terests in Yakima valley and
Seattle went back East and
bought 12 fillies and a stallion,
as a foundation from which to
raise fine horses. These animals
were of the American Saddle
Horse breed and the best that
could be found. They were al
most all of the Chief and Den
mark breeding. The cross of
these two different families of
the breed had already proven to
produce the best in American
Saddlers.
In 1940 Mr. Brown was killed
in an accident and Maurice
Briggs, now of Kodiak, was fort
I unate enough to be able to buy
| the best mare he had, together
with her young daughter by the
Sold foundation sire This put
Mr. Briggs in possession of two
brood mares whose breeding is
not excelled anywhere. Their
pedigrees are full rf names of
horses which have sold for from
$12,000 to $40,000, because of
their breeding and show ring
records.
The young mare mentioned
above was bred to a fine animal
of the same strain of breeding,
which also was shipped to Wash
ington from the East. His sire
has produced horses that wete
judged champions in the biggest
saddle horse shows in the United
States.
This cross produced “King of
the Denmarks” which Mr.
Briggs had shipped to Homer
and which died last winter; and
“Pride of the Denmarks”, a colt,
which arrived on the Denali and
was delivered to Tom Nelson,
who had purchased it sight un
seen from Mr. Briggs. Also on
the Denali were two of the pure
bred Amei ican Saddler brood
mares, which Mr. Briggs now
has at the former Thompson
homestead.
Mr Nelson will raise the colt>
which will be a year old in June,
for stallion. Mr. Nelson’s efforts
to improve the blood of horses
in Alaska should be appreciated
in Kodiak
The aopearance of the article
in the Mirror on the arrival of
“King of the Denmarks” in
Alaska brought a letter of com
mendation to Mr. Briggs from
Governor Gruening. The article
was also reprinted in the Ameri
can Saddler Journal.
We were called by someone on
the fact that one of our head
lines last week had a woman
charged with “polygamy”. We
are aware that polygamy usually
refers to a plurality of wives,
and know, too, that polyandry,
refers to a plurality of husbands.
It would no doubt have been
better to say polyandry, but
the ind ctment brought by the
grand jury did say “polygamy”.
We will let the legal minds
argue it out with Webster, who
admits tha; “rarely” polygamy
refers to a plurality' of husbands,
also.
All we remember anent such
cases ts the old one, to wit: three
wives, polygamy; two wives,
bigamy; one wife, monoiony.
A customer at Uyak bay re
cently sent in a written order I
to one of our local stoies, which
was filled out and dispatched.
One of the items included in the j
order was a bottle of \ italis, |
that much-advertised dressing!
for the hair.
The complaint department
got this letter back this week:j
“Gentlemen: Will you tell the,
one that made up my last order
that 1 did not want that stuff
for the hair. I wanted Vitalox to
make brown gravy with.
“You tell them I don’t have
any hair. It’s all left.”
