GUIDE UNO GAME
■ TO STATES
After twenty years of life in Alas
ka and the Yukon territory Capt. J.
G. Hubrick, of. McCarthy, who has
won the distinction of being one of
the most daring hunters and guides
as well as crack shot, left Cordova
yesterday on the steamer Victoria,
to make a two or three months trip to
the Staes. He is a magnificent peci
men of manhood, a bright and enter
taining pioneer and just the kind of a
person the hunters of big game would
•elect as their guide in scouring the
wilds of interior Alaska. \j
It is claimed that within about a
hundred miles of McCarthy are to be
found the best hunting grounds in
this northland, both in American and
Canadian territory, and as this fact
becomes more generally known more
of those seeking this outdoor sport
will make the trip. In f^ct the coun
try is so easy of access and can be
reached in shorter time than any
other route that it is expected that
in the future all those in search of big
game will first come to Cordova, and
from here go by train to McCarthy,
%
the gateway to the interior country.
Last season Capt. Hubrick was the
guide for W. T. Young and a party of
four from Nashville, Tenn., who en
joyed a thirty-eight day hunt and re
turned with the full limit of big game,
allowed on their American and Cana
dian licenses. So enthusiastic were
these men over their success that
they are now among the best boost
ers for the Interior country hunting
and plan on returning here next sum
mer. Col. J. A. McQuire. of Denver,
editor of Outdoor Life, has also be
come interested in this section as 3
game center and is giving it consid
erable publicity in his magazine. Be
ing a friend of Capt. Hubricks he in
tends visiting Col. McQuire on his
way to Wisconsin, where he expects
to spend the holidays with his two
daughters whom he has not seen for
twenty years. At Chicago Capt. Hub
rick will meet Powhatan Robinson, a
sporting writer and hunter, who is
desirous of learning something about
game in Alaska. Having spent many|
years i,.\Ae great white silence with
gun and snowshoe Hubrick knows all
the wild animals of the north like a
book and has watched the great heard ;
of caribou and moose pass on in its|
annual pilgrimage. Stowed away in
his collection of curiosities is a pic
ture of the largest herd it has beeh
his fortune to encounter.

RAISE MORE RABBITS TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF BEEF ^
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 8—With the
purpose of developing rabbit breed
ing to help make up for the defici
ency of meat, the Idaho Rabbit and
Pet Stock association was organized
here recently. Members estimated

monthly in this community, and said
this number could be multiplied ten
times if the industry is properly en
couraged.

EUREKA, Cal,, Dec. 8—Constant
ly increasing production of redwood
lumber in Humboldt county means
that in less than a century the only
commercial yedwood forest i n the
world will be stripped bare, according
to compilations made by George A.
Kellog, secretary of the Humboldt
Chamber of Commerce. In 1895 it
was estimated that the standing red
wood timber in the county would be
sufficient for 200 years but since that
time the cnpacity of the mills has
lx en more than doubled with pros
pects for a continued increase In the
future. !
i
Chit of 538.000 acres of redwood tim-k
her standing untouched before lum
bering operations were begun in the
county 93,000 acres have been cut
over. This cut represents some or
the best timber of the country, for
the bottom lands along the rivers
" here the best timber sands have
been harvested first.
Itedwood lumber thus far produced
from the forests of the county has
represented a ' value of $160,317,337
and has totalled 9,300.865,526 board
feet.
A moral wave has struck Skagway
and Haines, and as a result the re-,
stricted districts in these towns have !
been closed up and the denizens or
dered to move on.
