The searching party which left An
chorage to hunt for G. V. Pettigrew,
recent arrival from the states, report
ed lost in the Lewis river district,

where he had found shelter after
wandering about the woods for seven
days. He had been without food and
was nearly eaten up by mosquitoes
and moose flies. It was said he could
not possibly have lasted another day

boat and abandoning it, took to the
woods, becoming lost in a short time.

Declares to Gateway
The biological department has in
dorsed Captain Louis Lane's whale
killing venture for fox feed, and Gov.
George A. Parks, personally express
ed his appreciation of the business,
Captain Lane stated to the Gateway
representative during his recent trip
to this port. With respect to the bio
logical department, it is claimed it not
only is a splendid thing for the many
fox ranchers, but will serve in an in
direct way in the preservation of
Alaska's wild life.
It is believed, judging from the
Captain’s conversation, that he and
his partners have already decided on
a site where they will erect a factory
in which the whale meat will be cured
and barreled. It is stated that with
the introduction of this most natural
fox food on the market, a great saving
will be made by the fox ranchers.
This savings will come about in vari
ous ways. First of all the feed will
be sold at a figure below any feed
now in the market. Secondly, the
rancher will be able to devote his en
tire time to his ranch, eliminating
the time spent in foraging for feed
for his captives. The equipment, etc.,
necessary for the fox rancher to pro
cure in his search for fox feed, will
be saved providing he purchases his
feed from the new company. Statis
tics claim whale meat is the instinc
tive feed for fox.
Whaler a Novel Craft.
Following years of experience and
under Capt. Lane’s direction, all of
the equipment on the small whaler
has been made by the owners. No
superfluous gear of any kind is car
ried, the result being the entire craft
from stem to stern is equipped with
just what is needed and nothing more
and what they have is of the best.
“It is not the boat which kills the
whale, but the gun and gunner,’ j
Captain Lane explained when thi
smallness of his boat was mentioned.
“Many people are under the impres
sion that whaling requires a large
vessel. This is not so by any means.
In fact, a small boat is much better
for one can get around so much fast
er,” he concluded.
It is believed their outfit is one of
the most deadly and most accurate
whaling outfits on the seven seas.
The gun, when fired at a vital spot,
will kill the whale in 50 seconds.
A new Hicks marine engine will
arrive in Seward shortly from San
Francisco, which will be reshipped to
Kodiak where it will be installed in
the Gunnar, replacing the engine of
the same make now in the boat. The
new engine is more powerful and will
permit of the motor idling in order
that the craft may run about quietly
and slowly.
Captain Lane said the whales get
used to the boat moving about them
very quickly. In fact, they seldom
pay any attention unless the noise
from the engine is so loud they be
come frightened and disappear.
FOX RANCH MUST BE POSTED.
The Blue Fox, published at Kodiak,
says: “We again call attention to the
fact that a licensed rancher lays him
self liable if his ranch is not posted
as prescribed by law. After reading
the Act it will be seen that the fine
is heavy and the confinement sen
tence inconvenient in case charges
are brought against the rancher and
he is convicted. Post your ranch!
The law states that the letters “Fox
Ranch” shall be six inches high and
that the phrase, “no trespassing”
shall be a part of the sign. Also that
the signs shall be within sight of each
other about the boundaries of the
ranch.
FOXES LIKE WHALE MEAT
About the middle of June a dead
whale drifted ashore on the north end
of Fanny’s Island In Kalsim Bay, op
erated by Louis Melsing. Mr. Mel
sing said the carcass gave “strong”
indications of having floated about
for sometime before it landed. When
viewed by Secretary White of the

ENGLAND AGAIN
In England it is being advocated
that women after reaching mature
age should be called “Mrs.” whether
married or not. Attempted explana
tions of the reasons for desiring the
change are about as “clear as mud.”
Drawing the line at which a nubile
young woman becomes “mature”
would perhaps be difficult, if not
dangerous.
