.Some time this month the steam
yacht Quilo of Seattle, owned by John j
W. Eddy, H. F. Alexander, and j
James D. Hogue, will come north fori
i
a month’s sojourn in the Territory, |
according to recent advices received !
locally. Howard Chandler Christy,
famous artist, will be a member of
the party. Mr. Eddy, Joshua Green j
and Edwin I. Garret spent several
weeks to the Westward last spring
and procured some remarkable speci
mens.
What is believed to be the largest
skull of an Alaska brown bear ever
taken out of the Territory was the
prize of the expedition. The skull
measures slightly more than 20 inches j
from base of skull to tip of nose. The j
bear was shot by E. I. Garrett and
j measured 11 feet two inches in i
length. It‘s weight was 1500 pounds. |
Joshua Green shot one bear which j
was slightly smaller, measuring 10 i
feet four inches in length.
The skull of the bear shot by Mr. |
Garret will be sent to Ward’s in Lon
don, England, for official measure
ment. Ward’s is the world head
quarters for classification and meas
urement of game heads and in their
latest book on brown bears, the prize
skull measured only 19 and one-half
inches, nearly two inches less than
the one captured by Mr. Garrett.
The Aquilo is 165 feet in length and
is powered with a triple expansion
engine of 500 rated horsepower, giv
ing the craft a cruising power of 13
miles per hour. Luxurious accommo
