BEAR HUNTERS MAKE
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
The party leaving on the bear
hunt Saturday morning, besides Lou
Isabel and Joe Fisher, included
Herb Heathorne, Tom Matthews, Ed
V Parks and Captain Billy Ford. The
trip was made on the launch Dan
Patch, and as the party was well
supplied with grub, the captain
consented to make the trip.
Although no game to amount to
anything was bagged, members of
the party discovered that a section
drained by the Wood river was
practically a game sanctuary, and
they are planning another excur
sion that will include this promised
'land. It appear? that several year-;
ago a white man committed suicide
f near this place, and the Indians say
1 that his ghost walks there every
! day, and consequently they will not
hunt in the neighborhood.
Ghosts apparently have no effect
on bears and other game animal
and they are said to roam this re
; gion unmolested.
A big bag of game of all kinds
may be looked for when the hunt
ers return from their next trip,
which will be soon
Erik Kahlen left this morning for
his camp on the Fairbanks line
He is a member of a firm of grad
ing contractors.

Private advices received recently
in Fairbanks indicate that the bis
entertainment got up recently in
Seattle, in which all Alaskans so
journing in the Spirit City and in
the neighboring towns gathered to
gether to celebrate the breakup,
originated with Misses Dorothea
Johnson and Wilma Carlson, who
are now finishing their studies in
Seattle.
These two young ladies, formerly
of Fairbanks, conceived the idea of
an Alaska celebration, and went
about perfecting arrangements for
holding a sort of reunion uf the
Northerners.
The newspapers got wind of the
scheme and gave it publicity, with
the result that the two young ladies
were soon deluged with applications
from Alaskans living in Bremerton.
Tacoma, and Portland, who desired
to attend the function.
A large hall was rented for the
reunion, which was held on Apri'
26th. and was attended by over 300
Alaskans. A great time is reported
to have been had by the Northern
ers at the affair.
After the expenses of the re
union had beer, deducted from the
amount taken in. the sum of $42.50
remaining was turned over to th -
Red Cross.
The punchbowl at the function
was presided over by Miss Jewatha
Bryce, a colored girl, formerly of
Fairbanks.
The affair was so successful that
a meeting of the Northerners was
called immediately after its conclu
sion and the decision was arrived at
to hold these gatherings in Seattle
once a month.
