THOUSANDS OF CARIBOU
ON THEIR ANNHAL RUN
Nearly every auto owner in the
town of Fairbanks headed for Fair
banks creek to try and get a few
caribou, as the caribou run is now on
in that district. Several excellent
bags are reported as it was no great
trouble at all to get the limit, there
being thousands of caribou running,
and they appeared to be heading over
the Big Chena.
Hundreds of people autoed out
the road to witness the annual run,
and were rewarded by a sight that
is not often obtainable even in this
section of the country, where cari
bou herds are common. The hills
were fairly covered with the animals
and it is said that many of them
were brought to town to replenish
larders.
Ralph Stat.b, motion picture man,
was fortunate in getting right among
the animals and obtained about 4,000
feet of pictures that should open the
eyes of Dr. Hornaday, who claims
there are not more than 5,000 cari
bou in the territory.
Reports received from Fairbanks
i today say that the hills are covered
| with the herds which are plainly
j visible from the Egan & Griffin
j store.—Nenana News.
