EISR1R LOOMS
IN NI1AGAK AREA
Judging from the mutterings and
rnurmers heard in the Nushagak
Bay area a few weeks ago, trouble
of some sort is indicated between
union and resident fishermen on
one side and the owners of the
floating cannery, the Santa Flavia.
’he other.
A fishermen’s and cannery su
perintendents meeting is said to
have been held at Dillingham on
May 30 at which time ways and
means were discussed as to com
bating the arrival and entry of the
Santa Flavia. At Dillingham some
fishermen said that owing to the
sudden decision of the Santa Flavia
:o fish and pack in that district,
will result in curtailing the output
of the regular established plants;
:hat U. S. Fishery Commissioner
Henry O’Malley has no knowledge
of the new entry into the field.
Taking an opposite view other
fishermen claim the Santa Flavia
should experience no difficulty;
that as far as they could see, it
had as much right to enter that
field as those already there. That
:.s far as not being able to employ
fishermen in the district, that it
was generally thought that the
floating cannery was bringing in its
own crew.

| Gold is said to be where one finds j
| it. The same line refers to bears, i
!judging from comments by Sew-'

the world’s big game hunters, D. E.
jvalade, local business man, who,1
with H. S. Horton of Anchorage,1
have returned from the Uyak bay j
vicinity after a three-weeks ab
sence, and bringing with them four
excellent specimens of the famous
Kodiak bear.
Valade, after the first few days
of failure, began to believe that he
must smell like a skunk for it seem
jed to him that the bears, which he
* approached with stealth, which
would have made Buffalo Bill blush
,with shame, always got wind of
him
At times he could have burst into
tears and cried like a child, so vex
ed did he become.
So to what heights ol ecstacy (?)
he rose when he whanged away
and downed his first brownie, may
safely be left to the imagination of
the reader. But it is no doubt that
his war-whoop of acclaim shatter
ed the silence and resounded like
salvos of thunder from the hills
and valleys.
The veteran hunter, Horton,
completing his third hunt in the
district, was the fortunate lad on
this hunt for he bagged the largest
a nine foot, three inch hide. The
other three were nicely fured
and medium in size. Valade is send

dermists.

SIGNAL COUPS ST5FF
j lie's from Texas but it was not
his night to howl; the elements did
| that!
A tiny wisp of a skiff—perhaps
I what they call a punt—with three
men in it; an outboard motor putt
putting away for dear life while
the skiff tossed about like a cork
on the whit-capped racing flood
waters, finally to reach the side of
the S- S. Starr, lying at anchor at
jNaknek, then over the side came
ithe men, running up the Jacob
ladder with all the agility of gym
I nists.
; This was the first glimpse a Sew
jardite on board the Starr had of
Lieut. T. T. Teague, who has been
assigned to the local Signal Corps
headquarters office and who will
arrive in the city on the next voy
age of the Starr. In the meantime
Lieutnant Teague will endavor to
co-ordinate the various cannery
j radio stations out there in the way
| of affecting better service for all
concerned.
Lieutenant Teague is going to be
liked instantaneously: he’s that
kind of a fellow. So that Seward
ites may know something of his
personal appearance it can be said
in many respects he might be tak
en as a brother of J- P. Hannon,
former Sewardite. He’s of that
type; and the same kind of eyes,
girls. Handsome? Certainly! Sin
gle? Sure!
The Lieutenant stated that while
in Texas he did considerable riding
which led to the remark that per
haps he should have brought his
saddle along with him for riding
the wavelets thus far has not beer,
as comfortable as one could have
desired.
Lieutenant Teague, a regular fel
low'. He brings memories of Capt
ain Guthrie.
