_A combination of deep snow
(little or no feed), “blessed
events” (pasts and due), have
made cow moose irritable and ill
tempered. Don’t get between a
cow and her calf—it’s usually
fatal. And don’t permit children
to tease them. Moose are travel

1895 - 1955
60 years ago, March 3,1893, the Seattle port was a-bustle with
excitement as the Steamer "Willapa”—450 tons, 136 feet in length,
beam 21 feet..."handsomely furnished and newly fitted throughout
with electric lights and steam heat”... cleared its dock and headed for
; r _y .
Southwestern Alaska. Thus was bom the Alaska Steamship Company.
To those who, with us, have shared the 60-year vision of
a land and people more surely marked for greatness by each
passing year, we rededicate ourselves to a guiding principle
i . > •'
on which the company was founded... to provide the
best possible service for the continuing growth and

eer five—fresh from administer
ing a six-point whipping to Cor
dova (eliminating them from the
tourney) were a sharp combine.
In the first day’s play—Nome had
beaten Cordova. Wasilla—pre
viously defeated twice by both
Cordova and Valdez—refused to
accept their rated ‘‘underdog”
position. In a heated—sea-saw—
tussle, the Wasilla Warriors were
forced to leave the floor on the
short end of a 47 to 44 score with
Valdez. Careless passing and
missed “set-up” shots was felt to
be the down-fall of Wasilla’s
squad. In the game that eliminat
ed Wasilla—Nome scored over 70
—twice as much as Wasilla was
able to tally.
The Edwards, Nesbeih & Ryder

Combs is one that “took off" for

“go juice” and had Dan Carney
do the pumping.
