NEW HOTEL FOR
LAWING RESORT
TO BE ERECTED
Popular Lake Kenai Resort to Build
New Two-Story Building This
Winter.
BE MODERN IN EVERY RESPECT
Trophy Room Filled to Overflowing
With Specimens of Game, Object
of Much Interest
A log hotel and resort, large enough
to accommodate at least fifty people,
will be erected this winter at Lawing,
according to Mr. and Mrs. Lawing,
owners of the popular resort, former
ly named Roosevelt. The growth of
their business during the present sea
son fully justifies the additional ex
penditure, it is stated. Not only the
growth of the tourist traffic on the
Alaska Railroad, but the patronage of
the residents of this district of the
Territory, has largely increased to
such favorable proportions that the
owners are quite often ‘put to it’ to
take care of the visitors in the man
ner they would like to.
The building will be two stories in
height with the floor plan being laid
out in the form of a Maltese cross.
Everything will be modern in every
respect, it is stated, with running
water, electric lights, steam heat in
each room and baths in connection.
The site will be directly across from
the present trophy room, on the op
posite side of the railroad tracks.
More Trophies Coming
The already packed trophy room, in
which will be found the greater ma
jority of Alaskan wild game speci
mens, will be considerably enlarged
this winter by the addition of other
specimens, now numbered among the
missing in the splendid display. Other
game trophies from various parts of
the globe are in this collection, in
creasing the interest of the visitor
immensly, in comparison with the Al
aska variety.
A brief outline of the curios reveals
a sacred monkey of India; an enor
mous buffalo head, shot by William
Cody, (Buffalo Bill), and presented to
Mrs. Lawing, the former Nellie Neal,
by Jack C. Miles of Denver; a Ko
diak bear head, taken from a bear
said to have weighed an even ton and
measuring fifteen feet in length. It
is claimed this specimen had the rep
utation of killing two men. A brown
bear head adorns another section of
the crowded walls, more in a place
jof honor, for it was this bear, Mrs.
hawing said, that almost killed her.
I The incident occurred when the bear
endeavord to get to a cub which Mrs.
Lawing had tied up and the racket
which ensued attracted her attention
so that she ran outdoors without her
rifle. With the bear behind her she
barely escaped into the barn but not
before the bear had struck her, hurling
her through the barn door. Regard
less of three broken fingers, a badly
smashed knee, and an injured side,
Mrs. Lawing finally procured her .30
.40 Winchester and with six shots kill
ed the bear. It measured eight feet
from toe to toe and nine and one-half
feet in length, weighing approximately
1100 pounds.
Three Specimens of Sheep
A silver-tip bear killed on the Col
umbia glacier, is probably the most
! attractive bear skin in the exhibit,
j The late President Warren G. Hard
| ing, was enraptured with this, it is
j stated. There are three different
| specimens of Alaskan sheep, including
j a big horn from Chickaloon, and a doll
: sheep from Colorado. There is also a
j fine elk head from Colorado, with a
perfectly balanced pair of horns. There
! is also a lion, from Calcutta, a rare
specimen of the Alaska glacier bear,
which appears indeed to be a fero
cious looking beast; a Kenai peninsu
la bear; a sea otter, caught in 1915 by
the crew' of the old steamer Dora, and
a number of seal rugs. Prominent
among the collection is a Kobuk bear,
whose hide is blotched with red, grey,
brown and white. An Arctic owl, cap
tured in Oregon, a very rare specimen
for that region; a musk ox hide from
Greenland; an Alaskan timber w'olf;
an American bear, red, white and
blue, killed in the Valley of Ten
|Thousand Smokes; a sun bear—some
times called a silk bear; a leopard
from India; a moose head w'hich has'
a spread of 76 inches with the world’s
record for points, fifty-four in all;
caribou heads; Alaska swans, loons;
rabbits; a variety of birds; fish spec
imens; and a freak femals sheep with
horns. There are many other speci
mens but the above list will give the
reader a brief idea of what the trophy
I room contains. Mr. and Mrs. Lawing
expect to have a large photograph tak
en soon of the entire collection.
Intellectuals Work
Be Championed By
International Bodies
BOSTON, Aug. 19. (/P)-—The Amer
ican Committee of Intellectual Co
operation, formation of which re
cently was announced to collaborate
with a similar international commit
tee of the League of Nations, will act
as sort of champion for intellectual
workers in the United States.
One of the purposes of the Am
erican committee will be to learn
the extent of any evils from which
intellectual workers in different pro
fessions might be suffering and to
suggest methods of relief. As an ex
ample, the international group has
approved a measure to protect sci
entific property, basing their ac
tion upon the idea that scientific
discovery should rank with artistic
creation and technical invention,
which are protected by copyright
and patent. Thus, if some law of
science were discovered which later
was made applicable to an invention
I not only would the inventor bene
fit but also the scientists who dis
covered the law.
The committee also will study in
ter-university relations and furnish
to the international committee data
on courses of study in various uni
versities and the extent to which
they are or should be given inter
national recognition.
Methods to establish international
relations between scientists and
steps to facilitate their researches
have been started by the internation-!
al body and the American group
will do its share in this respect. Co
operation between libraries of dif
ferent countries with a view to sys
tematic classification of their con
tents and a completion of foreign
sections by means of exchange is
another object.
This committee will be kept in
close touch with groups organized
along similar lines in Austria, Bel
gium, Brazil, British Empire, Bul
garia, Czechoslovakia, Chile, Den
mark, Esthonia, Finland, France,
Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithu
ania, Netherlands, Norway, Panama,
Poland, Roumania Salvador, King
dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slo
venes, South Africa, Spain and Swit
zerland. Other committees are in
process of formation and each of

In the mailing and use of Calol Brand lu

eliminated. Years of experience with them
have established these oils in the confi
dence of industry and the marine trade.
That is why a majority of all the vessels
out of United States Pacific Coast ports,
both coastal and trans-Pacific, as wrell as
a large majority of the industrial plants,
—factories, canneries, mills, mines, hydro
electric plants, etc.,—in the Western
States, Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands,
use Calol lubricating oils year-in and year
out. And this use has proved beyond
question their uniform reliability and
satisfying efficiency.
Calol lubricating oils are available throughout
Alaska. For information about those which will
best fill your needs, or for details about any
phase of our Alaska service, ask any of our repre
sentatives, or write to our office in the Alaska
Building, Seattle, Washington, or your nearest
Standard Oil Station in Alaska.
There is a Calol lubricating oil scientifically de
termined for every marine and industrial need.
