EVARTS PREFERS
HUNT WITHOUT
KILLING GAME
PROMINENT WRITER GAME LIFE
LOVES WILDS—RETURNS TO
JUNEAU FROM KODIAK
(From Juneau Empire)
It’s not the game but just hunt
ing that appeals to Hal G. Evarts,
prominent writer of wild life, whose
work appears chiefly in the Satur
day Evening Post. The very tact
of being out in the wilds, the op
portunity to observe wild lite with
in nature’s frame, to preserve cer
tain pleasing pictures on a film
and to store his memory with a
rich recollection of experience fill
his desires.
Evarts is a visitor in Juneau and
this locality. He arrived here on
the Admiral Watson, accompanied
by Earl F. Crouch, a friend, of
Cody, Wyoming, from a hunting trip
on Kodiak Island. The two came
north early last May going directly
to the Westward. On the Island
they met Jack Baum of the Chicago
News who had gone to the west
ward on a vacation trip. The three
did some hunting together and
Baum got a bear. He also came
south on the Admiral Watson and
planned to remain over in Juneau,
but on account of shortened time,
continued south on the steamship
Alaska.
Mr. Evarts and Mr. Crouch left
this morning on a gas boat to
spend about ten days in the Chi
chagof and Admiralty Islands local
ity. Returning to Juneau they will
go to Skagway and Whitehorse,
taking with them a small craft
equipped with eVinrude engine and
in which they will make the trip
down the Yukon River to St. Michae!
giving practically the remainder o:
the summer to the trip. Evarts is
particularly anxious to make a stud}
of the bird rookeries at the moutl
of the river.
“The one kill 1 would like t<
make,” he said yesterday afternoon
"is a glacier bear.” It is the on<
bear species I have never seen an<
I’d like to have a skin.”
“One hears a lot about killing
this and that animal and the glor
ies of bringing down game,” Ik
continued, "but I gave it up abou
five years ago. It is greater sport
to be out in the wilds to observe
game life than to kill everything in
sight.”
Mr. Evarts is making a close
study of animal life in Alaska. He
; said that the sea birds are differ
jent than anything he has seen and
| he is anxious to see the white sheep
' and the island deer with which he
is not personally familiar.
“The one thing about a trip like
this we are making through Alaska
is that we cannot devote nearly
enough time to it and because I’m
so stuck on the country and its
people, I’m coming back and I’m
j going to live here until I know it
as it really is. I can’t be satisfied
I with a surface knowledge. All my
writing of the Wyoming country
was done after I had lived in the
| country and knew it.”
Mr. Evarts said that he had want*
! ed to come to Alaska the past sev
! eral years. He recently made a
j trip through Canada to the mouth
1 of the McKenzie River in the Arc
: tic. At that time he said, he was
! determined to make his next trip
! to Alaska.
He plans to return north next
Spring and will bring Mrs. Evarts
and their son with him. They will
plac£ their son in school and spend
most of the year if not longer in
making trips to various parts of the
! Territory.
Mr. Crouch is also taken with
Alaska and is considering locating
in some part of the Territory. He
has lived in Wyoming for years
: where he owned a ranch and spent
: most of his time in the hills. He
j was a neighbor of Mr. Evarts for
;a number of years until the latter
j moved to Kansas about two years
1 ago.
Both men. while experts in the
hills, are enjoying their first ex
. periences “gas boating.” Their
| hunting by water travel has been
: confined to lake and stream trips
in row boats, and Mr. Evarts has
I made the ocean trip to the Hawai
( ian Island.
"We are anticipating a fine time
> 1 on this gas boat trip,” said Mr
[! Evarts. "It’s a fortunate thinj
1 though we have a good man with us
r for I know as far as I am con
. cerned, until I have learned some
> thing about it, if the engine wen
t dear, I’d drift until some passerby

Evarts said he hoped to have
time, before going on to Skagway,
to make a trip up the Taku river
and will visit at Twin Glacier
Camp.
Poland and Czechoslavakia
Agree On Arbitration Pact
GENEVA, June 12— (£>)—Polish
circles at the League of Nations em
phasized the fact that the arbitra
tion convention signed last month
at Warsaw between Poland and
Czechoslavakia is based on the ar
bitration principles contained in the
Geneva peace protocol.
The convention in question arrang
es for the pacific settlement of prac
tically all conflicts which might
arise between the two countries.
Any dispute can be sent before a
commission of conciliation number
ing five men, and if there be inabil
ity to agree upon the president, the
selection will be made by the Pres
ident of Switzerland.
The decisions of the commission
are no obligatory upon the parties,
who, however, must resort to oblig
atory arbitration if either of them
rejects the decision.
South America Starts
To Build Skyscrapers
BUENOS AIRES, June 12.—(/P)—
The cities of the River Plate, Bu
enos Aires and Montevideo, are en
tering into an area of skyscrape
competition in office building.
The edifices are not comparable
in height with those of some Amer
ican cities, but a building in Buenos
Aires of 22 stories, including its tow
er, finished during the past year,
and then the highest in South Amer
j ica, has been surpassed by a 28
story structure just completed in
Montevideo. The Urugualan build
ing rises“-338 feet, and in addition to
establishing a new South American
skyscraper record, is claimed to be
the tallest in the world ever built
of re-inforced concrete. It is a com
bined office building and hotel, with
250 rooms and baths. It is owned by
an Italian immigrant who accumulat
ed a fortune which had its begin
ning in a small hand knitting mill.
Books In Strange Tongues
Issue from Oxford Press
—
j OXFORD, Eng., June 12.—(eP)—
•The Oxford University Press, whose
printing activities date back to the
later years of the fifteenth century,
is adding newly cut fonts of Greek
and Hebrew type of pleasing design
to its vast type collections. The es
tablishment possesses type for print
ing in well over 150 different lan
guages, including hieroglyphics, Eteo
Cretan, Gurumukhi and Chinese.
As is usual in the affairs of men,
the Oxford Press is more noted for
its errors than its successes. Of the
vast numbers of Bibles printed in
all tongues, from Coptic to Icelandic,
four are given value and fame for
small misprints. They are the “Vige
gar Bible,” with vinegar for vine
yard in Luke XX; the “Murderers
Bible,” with murderers for murmur
ers in Jude; the “Ears to Ear Bible,’
with a misprint in Matthew XIII
and the “Wifehater Bible,” with a
mistake in Luke XIV.
When Kitty Berger of New Yorl
died, she asked that her four cats
be killed, so they could go to heaver
with her.
