IN THE EAST
Among the visitors to Rochester last
week was Captain J. p. Hubrick, of
McCarthy, Alaska. This town is 200
miles in the interior of Alaska, at the
head of Copper river. Three of the
richest copper mines in the world are
said to be in this region.
Captain Hubrick is a guide and
hunter in Alaska. He is known toj
practically every hunter of big game
of the west. He is a contributor to
the magazine Outdoor Rife. Although
Captain Hubrick is a hunter and guide
he endeavors to preserve the animal
life. He loves the animals, no mat
ter how small or how big. This is
not to be wondered at when it is said
that he has lived outdoors the great
er part of his life. He knows the
habits of the birds as well as the
bears, on which he is considered an ,
authority. Some of his specimens of
bears are on exhibition at the Smith-'
sonian Institute in Washington. He^
keeps in close touch with that, institu
tion' and furnishes it with much in
formation as well as specimens.
Hunts with Camera.
One of the things that plays an im^
portant part in the routine of Captain
Hubrick is the camera. He takes many
photographs of bears, moose, Alaskan
mountain sheep and goats, caribou,'
black porcupines, and other animals
i
that inhabit that region. No one knows
-- - i
the land in that vicinity belter than
Captain Hubrick. He has a large col
lection of souvenirs and photographs
of many an interesting hunting expe
dition.
In his photographic work, Captain
Hubrick got to the point where scien
tific photography is a necessity, and
having written to the Eastman Ko
dak company about some of the techni
calities, was told that if he came to
Rochester he would be shown any
thing he wanted to know about taking
and finishing pictures The interest
that Captain Hubrick has taken in
photography is manifested in his state
ment that he came ail the way from
McCarthy, Alaska, to spend a few
days with the Eastman Kodak com
pany in his endeavor to learn more
about snapping and developing of pic
tures. Rochester is the furthest east
that Captain Hubrick has ever been.
Brown Bear Protected.
Captain Hubrick lived for a time in
Colorado, where he was broughi up.
He said that Outdoor Rife is helping
him to a great extent to protect the
wild life of Alaska. The Aiaskaiis
have a great brown hear that Cap
tain Hubrick says is an over-grown
grizzly. He said that although this)
bear is ferocious, and its meat not
good to eat, it is protected, whereas!
the harmless black hear has no pro
tection. He claimed that in the last
eight years five men have been kill
ed and eight men injured by the brown
bear. He said that there is an open
and closed season in Alaska and that
strict rules governing the taking of
game are in observance.
Captain Hubrick said that on an
American license a person may take
one moose, three sheep, two caribou,
three goats and one brown bear. The
sheep and goats that are referred to
are mountain sheep rtnd goats that
are abundant in Alaska. Captain Hub
lick states that one may cross into
Canada in that vicinity and on a Can
ndian license take one moose, two
sheep, six caribou and all the bear one
can get.
Alaska Full of Game.
The Alaskan hunter and guide was
too modest to speak of his experiences,
but said that he never had a bear
chase him. Tie declared that to know
what a hunting expedition for big game
was like one must go through the ac
tual experience. He said that at the
present time there w'as all the game
in Alaska that one could wish for.
He had with him huge moose and carl
bou hoofs that had been taken from
animals brought down by him.
Captain Hubrick has guided a large
I
number of prominent men on success
ful hunting trips. He is a man wrho
shows many interesting photographs
of large bears and moose but is not
prone to depict the difficulty in get
ting them. He said that he is doing
everything in his power to protect
wild life, and allows no illegal hunt
ing in his parties.—Rochester, N. Y..

To Our Customers and the
General Public
Iln compliance with the general orders issued by the United
States food administration, that all retailers sell “licensed
goods” at a fair margin of profit, the prices named in last
evening’s paper, were but a few of the actually listed licensed
goods, which prices are set by the food administration and at
which all retailers will have to sell them.
We have not advertised prices, altho we have complied with
the boards request and reduced the price and will continue to
lower prices whenever possible to conform with the food ad
ministration’s edict.
When prices on all” Licensed goods’’ are set, we will advertise
• the list complete.
Honest merchants do not cajole their customers by giving
the impression that one dollars worth of goods is sold for six
ty nine cents, for the days of “goldbricking an intelligent •'
public is past.”
One’s money worth, no more no less, is offerred, and on such
a basis of honesty our business is beng established and built.
Beginning with the first of this year we are trying to put into
effect the requirements of the food administration, namely:
Closing at six o’clock, one delivery a day and limiting credit
to thirty days.
With our customers and the public generally helping us out
by complying with our request, we and aU other merchants
are going to be able to reduce the price and still make a fair
margin on our investment to which we believe we are en
titled.
In helping your retail merchant you are following out that
good and grand slogan “Its what we do over here than
counts over there.”
