NEWS FROM KANATAK
The general exodus from Kanatak j
by the natives, at this time of the year
for tlv fishing1 districts along the
Bristol Bay coast, caused many of the
typical Alaskan white men, wintering
in Kanatak, to stampede over the di
vide to Bristol Bay. They portage
over Kanatak Hill to the fish village,
then travel by boats down Becharof
lake and Egegik river to Bristol Bay
where they scatter among the various
canneries.
Assisted by a late spring, the ice
maintained its hold on Becharof lake,
especially in the south arm, until well
past the middle of May. This did not
bother the natives who fish and hunt
all the way «do\vn but the impatient
white men, who are always in a hur
ry when on a stampede, became rest
less and uneasy. They finally ended
their days of watchful waiting at the
Fish Village, for the ice to go out by
securing dog teams which hauled
their boats over the ice to open water
above the narrows. Here the boats
were launched, boarding them and
finding the air perfectly calm, they
started rowing down the lake thru ir
regular patches of open water, flanked
on both sides by the ragged edges of

SEE ALASKA
Very few of us realize the great
amount of publicity that is now being
devoted to Alaska in the states. Sev
eral Railroads soliciting transcontinen
tal tourist trade are carrying on a
program of advertising Alaska. The
Alaska Railroad thru literature and j
agents anti with the assistance of mov- j
ing pictures, is showing the travelling i
public, the advantages that lie in this I
direction.
“See Alaska Frst” has been adopt
ed as one of the Alaska Railroad's slo
gans—residents of Alaska might well
add to this, “A’askans, Sec Alaska
First.” A very small percentage of
the present day residents of the Ter
ritory know the beauties and attrac
tiveness of the country back from the
coast. Every resident of Alaska
should be able to intelligently dis
course on its beauties ;that is the best!
of advertising.
