ON EIDER; BOTH OE
WHOM, ILL HEALTH
DR. GILBERT AND DR. HUNTER
BROUGHT TO SEWARD FOR
SPECIAL TREATMENT
NEW CAPTAIN ON EIDER
Conditions on Islands are Excellent;
Families on St. George and
St. George Contented
The Bureau of Fisheries vessel Ei
der, Capt. A. Andersen, arrived in
I>oi*t at an early hour this morning
from the Pribilof Islands bringing
Dr. H. C. Gilbert, special investiga
tor the B. of F. department and
Dr. Hunter. The latter is suffering
from an attack of appendicitis and
■will probably undergo an operation.
Dr. Gilbert is also disabled in that
an attack of rheumatism necessita
ted leaving his field duties tempor
arily. He will remain in Seward in
iff
the ho-pes that the attack win soon
pass. The vessel will depart earh
this evening on the return trip to the
islands.
Conditions on the islands are ex
ceptionally good, Captain Anderson
reports, the eight or nine families
living on St. Paul and St. George
Islands being quite 'happy and con
tented and all in good health. The
natives are also reported doing fine.
Drinking has been entirely stamped
out, it is said.
The annual killing of seals, about
10,000 has been underway for some
time and will continue into next
month. On the last trip Westward
the Eider took several men from the
Fouke Fur Company of St, Louis,
which company handles the pelts foT
i the government. The pelts are salt
ed down in barrels and shipped out
after the killing is over.
‘Each year there is also about 10,- !
000 male seals branded, or given a !
haircut, in order to distinguish them 1
in the following year’s round-ups. A
small portion of the hair is cut from
off the top of their heads which serv
es as an identification mark in mak
ing a check with respect to noting
the increase in the herd.
Capt. Anderson reports he has
made seven trips t© the MWkvfs
this season. The first four were ex
tremely difficult in that snow fell
continually and rough weather was
encountered. Previous to assuming
charge of the Eider Captain Ander
sen commanded the Santa Flavin ‘or
three years. He can rightly boast
of being one or Alaska’s veteran nav
igators for he first arrived at Unal
aska in 1893. Since then be has
never spent a summer on Puget
Sound where he resides when not it
the Territory. He has covered the
entire Territory in his travels hav
ing spent several years in the Uter

a
TWO months ago, I would have told you
that I was pretty7 well satisfied with mv
smoking tobacco. I didn’t know Prince
Albert then! Gee, what a lot of tricks
I missed w ithout even knowing it. Never
mind. I’m making up for lost time now.
My jimmy-pipe is working double shifts.
I load up the minute breakfast is
cleared away and hit it up from then
until "lights out.” That’s one of the fine
things about Prince Albert. You never
tire of it. Each pipe-load tastes better
than the last, if such a thing is possible.
I know I’m set for life now.
i
Prince Albert is cool as a dip in tbe
lake. No matter how hard you drk« k,
you never bum out a bearing. It is sweet
as a check in the morning's mail. Fra
grant, too. like fresh-p>cked flowers.
Fragrant in the tin. and fragrant as 'vsi
smoke it. Real tobacco. / tel you.
Maybe you think you are all set in. the
matter of smokings. I wooldn\ stop
there. Because, if vou haven’t smoked
P. A, vour best bet is still to be collected.
On my say-so. and that of minions Ske
me. why don’t you try Prince Albert?
I’ll guarantee you'll be glad you did.
