German police dog, who has been ii
many moving picture stunts. Messrs
O’Brien and Miller started out intend

Mr. O’Brien was cameraman for the
International News for eight years,
and made two trips around the world,
) doing extensive camera work in the
South African big game fields, secur
ing pictures w’hich rival those of the
Snow expedition. Mr. Miller was head
• cameraman for the production of the
“Cheechakos,” and other Alaskan
pictures, and has a reputation second
to none as an artist and cameraman.
t “As evidence of our trip as far as
- Rampart,” said Mr. Miller, “we have a
- message for the Mounted Police at
1 Herschel Island, given us near Ram
i’ part.
1 “We have four cameras and 50,000
• feet of films writh us, and are after
1 unusual pictures—particularly the big
• game of the Northland,, and Eskimos.
We w'ant to catch the game in its na
1 tive habitat and photograph Eskimo
2 tribes far removed from intercourse
3 with the whites.
“We expect to go direct from Fair
banks to Nome, thence to Kotzebue
Sound,, where we w'ill spend a month
’ with headquarters at Candle, thence
f swing around through the Colville
1 range to Herschel Island, which we
will reach about April 30. We shall
_ then go 120 miles to the eastward to
get in contact with the Eskimos in
their native haunts. We shall then
return to Cape Prince of Wales, go
from there to Wrangell, where we will
photograph the tragic scenes of the
Noyes party. From here we will go
to Siberia, returning to Nome and the
United States late next fall.”
The men are well financed and are
equipped for a trip lasting many
months. The pictures they secure will
be marketed under their own rights,
and they expect to secure some novel
scenes, as they will penetrate the
district east of the Mackenzie mouth
out of range of the average eamera
' man..
The police dog is one of the attrac
tions ini many of the O’Brien pictures.
He has a record of a 45-foot jump
from pier to water and no stunt is
too daring, apparently, for him to per
form. “Blighty” bears a scar, the re
sult of a wound from a pictol bullet
fired by a Mexican policeman, who
mistook him for a wolf.
The camera equipment is one of the
best ever brought into Alaska, con
sisting of two Pathes, a DeBrie and a
German Werke. With these instru
ments pictures may be taken of a
depth and clearness that is marvel
ous.

years ago, and since then has been in

here so hurriedly before that I did
not notice the beauty of this town
and surroundings, and I realize now
why an artist of Mr. Van Emple’s
standing selects it as a worthw subject
of his art. I hope on our return next
fall I may have the time to study this
location for movie purposes. We mo
vie men get into the habit of noticing
attractive girls as possible actresses,
and I want to say that I have never
seen so many pretty girls on the
streets of any town a dozen times the
size of Seward.”
Messrs. O’Brien and Miller will
leave w;ithin the next day or two for
Mile 23 to photograph Mrs. Lawing’s
sled team of trained bears, thence
to Cooper’s Landing for moose pic
tures.

hang-over. The date lines were
wrong, the lines were scrambled in
the press stories, the proofs were rot

and local stories. Otherwise the pa
per was all right.
