IN NEW YORK PAPER
On the first page of the New York
Times rotogravure picture section of
the November 8th issue, five photos of
Arthur Young, nationally known bow
and arrow big game hunter, take up
the greater portion of the page. The

and arrow, in Africa. The second pic
ture shows the archer at a distance of
45 yards bringing down two Alaskan

him demonstrating his skill with the
bow and arrow, shooting at a flying
target high up in the trees on the »
country estate of George Palmer Put
nam, publisher, at Rye, N. Y. Still an
| other picture reveals Mr. Young just
after spearing a salmon four feet un
; der water in the Russian River near
Seward. The last is the picture of a
big moose brought down in the Kenai
peninsula by the famed archer.
A series of illustrated articles have
also been running in the October is

the pen of Stewart Edward White,
telling of the party’s experiences in
hunting lions in Africa. Field and
Stream has an article on Mr. Young,
telling of nis bear hunt on Kodiak Isl
and.
Mr. Young spent considerable time
in Seward during the past tw'o years
and is well known to the majority of

on his trips in this district.
