A COOPERATIVE BUSINESS
An infant Alaska business which i ntime may as
sume large proportions, judging from the slow yet steady
growth since its inception a few years ago, is the Alaska
Guides, which maintains its headquarters at Anchorage
yet splits its annual income with its neighbor city, Sew
ard. A brief recapitulation of the companies affairs is
rather astonishing to one who has not followed its ac
tivities and brings realization of the fact Alaska holds
many opportunities to those who exercise vision with
action.
In the spring of this year 12 hunters were dispatch
ed from Seward to various points on Kodiak Island and
the Alaska Peninsula. Practically all guides, cooks and
packers were employed from Seward.
The past fall approximately 30 hunters arrived
from the states and business from this source was about
evenly distributed between Anchorage and this city.
The company estimates that at least $80,000 was put
in circulation in the two cities during the entire year '
including salaries and supplies.
The company now has over 60 head of horses, to
gether with boats, tents, in fact all the necessary equip
ment needed to handle hunting parties of almost any«
size.
Basing the increase that has taken place in hunting
operations during the past five years, R. S. Bragaw,
one of the officials of the company and from whom these
figures were obtained, predicts that within the next
five years, the sum of $300,000 annually will be distrib
uted in this section through sportsmen from the states
and foreign countries.
As a matter of comparison to illustrate what the
future might hold, it is interesting to learn that where
the state of Maine had 1,800 licensed guides this year,
Alaska has less than 50. This would indicate that men
of all stations in life are seeking vacations that will take ]
them hack to nature.
Hundreds of sportsmen residing in the states are
writing to guides, and to The Alaska Guides, for inf or-1
mation and particulars. Hundreds of thousands of dol- 1
lars are annually spent in the province of Canada by £
American sportsmen. Unquestionably, Alaska has equal
ly as much to offer, if not more.
But one of the finest things in connection with this
company is the type of its clientelle; the majority ofp
whom have been men of great influence. The Territory
of Alaska should benefit greatly by having these men ?
come in direct contact with Alaskans and obtain first- t
hand knowledge of the great undeveloped resources of '
our Northland. i

!05T CONTINENT OF
1IMS IS m
STONES, SO, PACIFIC
_
PAPEETE, Tahiti, Nov., 13, (/P)—
Legends of the lost continent of
Mu, which oriental tradition says
disappeared in fire and flood leav
ing the islands of the South Pacific
have been revived by finding evi
dence of a race that peopled these j
islands before the ancient coming
of the Polynesians.
Recent explorations by anthro
pologists upon mcuntainous pla
teaus have shown stone structures
of a quite different character than
those erected by Polynesians. Re
mote burial caves have given up
skulls not Polynesian.
The fable is that Mu once com
prised land filling a vast region of j
the southern Pacific. It sank, leav
ing only the tops of volcanic moun
tains above water.
