Kodiak Diary
(continued from page 1)
There seems much confusioi
about what pictures can be tak
en hereabouts. Here’s an arm’
list of taboo subject: dorks aru
buildings or installments nearby
beach scenes boats and boa
gear; ah planes, military velTclrs
supplies, equipment or construe
tion; air views, including any 01
the above And above all cooper
ate with the censors and don’t
go out and take a few of the n
bove just to see what happens—
you won’t get your pictures
back, it’s a waste of money and
time, and the censors don’t ap
preciate it. Show your appreci
ation of being allowed to take
pictures at all by cooperating.
If you want to send snaps out
restrict yourself to “this is me
on the left”, Aunt Minnie, and
the dog.
The Kodiak Bear recently got
about 5 columns of publicity in
Life magazine and if you think
the staff of the Bear wasn’t
tickled (the Williwaws would
have another word for it) you’re
badly mistaken . .the pay-off
came, though, and we do mean
pay off. . .in the mail to the
Bear came a check for $100 for
use of the material and the sug
gestion that the money-could be
used for more cuts (jonrnaiese
for pictures). . .“Imagine that,”
said Lt. Roy Craft, chief Bear
trainer, “we get the greatest
publicity break we couid wish
for and then they pay us for it!”
he didn’t say anything about
sending the check back

Monday evening a week ago
about 8 o’clock a mamma bear
and youngster came over the the
brow of Pillar Mountain and
ambled down toward town
a ways . .they stayed in sight
quite a few minutes before going
back over the brow of the hill
and out of sight again : . . quite
a number of people on the streets
at the time saw them ... we
hope none of these hunters who
have travelled to the far reaches
of the islands in search of bear
without any success saw them .
. . the irony of it would have
just made them feel bad . . .
One of these nice days we’iej
going to go out and see what we
can dig up in the shape of arti
facts, being encouraged by re
ports of discoverings made near
Mill bay where some work is be
ing done.
Aftea uprooting a 20-inch
tree and digging beneath it a
ways a number of bricks were
found, which are presumed to be
old Russian bricks They are an
odd size and shape, and one we
saw that C. C. Naughton, U. S.
Commissioner has, is narrower
at one end than the other, ap
pearing to be designed for an
arch of some sort.
Two dissimilar weapons of war
were found, too One, an old
lusty, bayonet, also presumed
to be of Russian origin, and a
nat ve-made whale bone spear.
We’d like to make a few arch
eological finds ourselves, but we
wouldn’t want to meet with the
success the contractors at the
base had once. .. they ran into a
whole ancient native bunal
ground.

Mrs iilizabeth Garr,
Alaska Pioneer, Dies
Mrs. Elizabeth Carr, Alaska
pioneer, passed away at her
home here May 22 after an ill

a second stroke of paralysis.
Funeral services were held Thurs

Mrs. Carr was born February

ota. She and her husband start
ed for Alaska in a wheelboat.
They got as fai as Unga when
the boat broke down, and they
continued their journey to St.
Michael in a small fishing boat
Before reaching their destination
they struck a sand bar and were
compelled to spend the winter
in a small cove until means of
transportation were opened up
in the spring of 1895.
There she managed a tur trad
ing and general merchandise
store while Mr. Carr was one
of the first mail carriers between
Circle and Ft. Yukon, using dog
teams. They spent a number ol
years there and moved to Unga
where they stayed a few years
before making Kodiak their per
manent home 25 years ago.
Before she unfortunately be
came disabled with rheumatism
and before there were doctors in
Kodiak she acted as midwife,
nurse, and cheif advisor in every
local mishap. Her husband was
the first carpenter in Kodiak
and worked at a number of other
odd jobs before he became a
jailer at the Kodiak jail.
Mrs. Carr was buried in the
American cemetery beside her
husband, who preceded her in
ieath ten years ago.
