over the peak of Mt. Sanford and in an in
stant turned it from black shadowy hulk to
a golden mountain as the rays shot down the.
snow fields and glaciers on the side near
est me.
The list of moose hunters with steak
on the table grows at Kenny Lake and the
vicinity, Ray Stalder brought one down on
the road to Chitina.
Mr. Lee Hayes, school administrator
for this area from the Dept, of Education
in Anchorage made a Mget to know the area"
trip into Chitina and Kenny Lake schools
last week. An avid hunter, Lee says a
trip back here very soon is a must.
The rains we’ve had (here on the plat
eau have resulted in mobility in white on
the high ridges to the south, which should
mean more game showingup down here.
