MANY HUNTING
PARTIES ARRIVE
ON PENINSULA
LORD J. C. DUN WATERS, SCOTCH
PEER, AND PARTY ARE
AFTER BEARS.
Among the eighty passengers who
left Bellingham last week on the
Pacific American Fisheries steamship,
Redwood, were two parties of big
game hunters and two parties of gov
ernment officials.
One of the parties of big game
hunters was composed of Lord J. C.
Dun Waters, a Scotch peer; Gazard
Pop, a taxidermist, and Conrad
Kain, a Swiss guide, all of whom
hail from Vancouver, B. C. This
party is headed for Squaw Harbor,
where it hopes to bag three Alaska
brown bear and other big game of
the northern territory.
Hunted In Africa.
While Lord Dun Waters was will
ing to divulge but very little in
formation about himself and the
members of his party, indirect in
formation gained of him was that
he is very wealthy and was, up
until a short time ago, a news
paper man. This does not mean
that Lord Dun Waters was found
to be of a distant nature, for such
was not the case. He is congenial
and good natured and easy to ap
proach, but is willing to talk more
about “dear old Scotland” than he
is about himself. He is quite active
and hearty in spite of his Advanced
years. He and Pop have hunted in
Africa and India for big game. Lord
Dun Waters was said to have pos
sessed one of the finest collections
of stuffed wild animals to be found
anywhere throughout the British
Isles up until the time his home
burned and destroyed the collec
tion. He is now starting over again
to build up another collection. The
party was taking along a moving
picture machine to take pictures of
wild animal life in Alaska, as was
done in India and Africa. Lord
Dun Waters paid Kain the compli
ment of being the best guide to
be found in Canada.
To Go To Squaw Harbor.
The other party of big game
hunters was composed of R. W. Ev
erett, Brevard, North Carolina, and
his cousin, J. H. Wade, of Cleve
land, Ohio. This party will go to
Squaw Harbor, then to Pavlow bay,
on the extreme end of the Alaskan
peninsula. Pete Larson will act as
guide. While both Mr. Everett and
Mr. Wade have done extensive
hunting for big game in the past,
this is their first trip to Alaska.
The fur of the Alaskan brown
bear, which are said to be very
vicious and which they are in quest,
is said to be better this time of the
year than at any other time.
In the possession of this pair of
big game hunters were two
Magnum 37% caliber rifles, which
were especially made by the Hoff
man Arms company of Cleveland,
Ohio, for the trip. These rifles are
said to be more powerful than any
standard gun made today. They
have forty pound muzzle energy and
a striking power of 4,000 pounds.
One of the government parties,
i composed of A. Christopherson, W.
C. Allis, H. A. Paterson, T. Thurd
son, Dr. Hunter and E. Wing, the
Chinese cook, was bound for Pri&lof
island, where is to be found the
government’s fur seal farm. This
'herd, which is one of the half dozen
or so in existence, is estimated to
consist of about 650,000 seals, or
more than double all the other
known herds of today. Between
15,000 and 20,000 seals will be killed
out of the herd this year. Only the
males are taken. The supply of seal
fur is very limited. A good seal fur
coat today costs in the neighborhood
of $1,100. This island is a govern
ment reservation and no person is ]
permitted to go there, except em
ployes and persons possessed of a
permit.
The other party of government
officials was composed of L. G.
Wingard, W. P. Pike and E. G. Carl
son, of the bureau of fisheries. This
party was bound for Ikutan, where
it will be engaged in enforcing the
fishing regulations during the sea
son, which will last for about five
months.

BERLIN, Apr. 28.—Ping-pong has
returned to favor in Berlin. A table
tennis club recently was established
and 50 organizations joined it. A
tournament is being planned lor next
fall.
After a blizzard an Alaska news
paper said: "Snow blocked the roads
completely. Not a wagon, sleigh
or auto got through Friday. In fact,
the largest animal seen was a man
on snow shoes.” Even a rotary plow
would have quailed.
