MUCH FUR IS
SHIPPED OUT
KENAI REGION
Following a patrol trip of three
weeks spent in the Kenaia peninsula
district, A1 Hardy, deputy game war-'
den, returned to his Anchorage head
quarters, says a recent issue of the
Daily Alaskan, of that city. The win- ]
ter has been very open up to the pres
ent time, he reports, and the moose j
in the district appear in fine shape, j
Fairly good catches of fur are report-!
ed by the trappers of the district.
Several herds of moose, 60 to 75 in
a bunch, were glimpsed and of these
Mr. Hardy obtained some good pho
tos. The snow in the mountains is
beginning to drive the animals down
to the lower levels where the snowfall
has been about the same as in the An
chorage district. Unless snow should
pile up in the lowlands, good foraging
should be found by the moose over
the remainder of the winter.
The first big shipment of furs left
Kenai January 6, consigned to Seat
tle dealers. Among the shipment
were about 450 mink, 150 lynx and
some otter. There have been more
lynx in the district this winter, the
trappers say, than there has been for
many winters past. The Russian

FAIRBANKS BLAZE
DESTROYS CABIN
Latest information received from
Fairbanks with reference to the fire
which occurred there the fore part of
the week, and which was rumored to
be threatening the town, states that
a small cabin next to the Auditorium
caught on fire, burning completely
to the ground and partially damaging
one of the walls of the Auditorium,
now the Moose Hall. The scene of
the blaze is located in Second Street
about four blocks from the center of
the business district.
YOUNG BULGARIAN TAKES
OWN LIFE AT FAIRBANKS
Mike Nanoff was found dead at
12:30 p. m. in his cabin at 160 Sec
ond avenue in Fairbanks, lying on top
of the .351 Winchester automatic
rifle with which he committed sui
cide.
His body was discovered at that
time by his partner, John Kuinski,
who was returning from work. When
Kuinski saw Nanoff’s body on the
floor he called in Charles Peterson,
who was passing by. As soon as
they ascertained the man was dead
they informed the marshal’s office.
An examination showed that the
bullet had entered the body slightly
above the heart, possibly going thru
the upper part, and that death was
almost immediate. In falling Nan
off’s body completely covered the
rifle.
Financial reasons are thought to
have caused Nanoff to suicide. He
came to Fairbanks from Seattle

about five weeks ago, and apparently
had been unable to obtain work.
An examination of his effects show
ed that he had only sixteen cents.
Nanoff was last seen alive at 8:30
the same morning by Kuinski, and
at that time he was not noticeably
despondent.
Kuinski stated that Nanoff was
not 21 years of age, and had been
married for about six months. His
wife is living in Seattle.
MAN OF FUTURE BE
A SUPERMAN WITH
PERFECT HEALTH,
LESS BRAIN POWER
HYPERINTELLECTUAL IS TOO
KEENLY CONSCIOUS OF HIS
SHORTCOMING AND RACE WILL
DIE FROM OVER EDUCATION
LONDON, Jan. 23.—Sir Arthur
Keith, anthropologist, told the West
minster Gazette, that man in the dis
tant future would have a robust, ani
mal-like constitution, and not be a
superintelligent creature, immersed in
abstruse problems and lofty concep
tions. He based his prediction partly
on his studies of prehistoric skulls,
and partly on the great physical im
provement of the human race in the
past few generations.
He expressed the hope that he was
correct in his deductions, because hy
perintellect caused its owner more
pain than pleasure, making him too
keenly conscious of his shortcomings,
and developing his brain power at the
expense of his physical powers. He
declared the human race would soon
perish if every person was a hvperin
tellectual, and explained that it is the
animal instinct which keeps man on
earth, pointing out that the size of
the brain had been diminishing thru
ages. He attributed this to the les
sening necessity of wrestling with
the great problems of existence, con
fronting prehistoric man, which our
forebears have solved for us. He
said: “The people of today have ten
times morel brain; power than they are
ever be likely to need, and the most
of us use but a very small part of what
we have.”
He called attention to the fact that
city newspapers devote about five per
cent of their space to intellectual mat
ters, and the other ninety-five to sex,
crime, sports, and politics. .This is an
index of the modern mind. He assert
ed that cross-word puzzles are the
evolution of our animal nature.
“What I have to say is not deroga
tory to women,” said Sir Keith. “They
have more intuition than men but a
smaller intellecutal capacity.”
He said the growth of reasoning
power diminished with our animal in
tuition, and therefore “we will never
see a woman with the brain of a Co
lossus.”

A F. DAVIS
Engineer Slain By
Protruding Rock
JACKSON, Ga., Jan. 23—Alleging
carelessness caused the death of her
husband when a protruding rock in
a cut knocked him from his seat in
an engine-cab, Mrs. Marie P. Han
cock, wife of the dead engineer,
has filed suit against the railroad for
$50,000, and asks an additional $10,
000 from the railroad and A. J. Burke,
who was conductor of the train Han
cock was driving.
The plaintiff alleges the train pro
ceeded more than a mile from the
scene of Hancock's death before he
was missed and the ti-ain sent back
1
for his body. She farther asserts
that the body was placed on the pil
ot, with the face against the hot boil
er, and then taken to McDonough.
The hot steam, the widow declares,
caused decay to set in. She asks
that the road and the conductor of
its train be punished for this. The
first suit is filed under the federal lia
bility act.
At the point where Hancock was
killed many rocks protrude from the
face of the cut and the widow pre
sumes one of these struck her hus
band as he leaned from the window
to inspect the engine’s machinery.
