TWO BIG STARS IN
“AS MAN DESIRES”
Milton Sills and Viola Dana are
together again!
The two picture stars, who have
played together on many occasions
in the past, are the top-notchers in
"As Man Desires,” a highly roman
tic, colorful story of the Orient and
the South Seas, which opens To
night at the Liberty Theater.
The tw oradeibll e a
The two are billed as the co
■featuring players in this First Na
tional picture and are to be sup
ported by an unusually strong cast
including Ruth Clifford, Rosemary
Theby, Tom Kennedy, Paul Nich
olson, Lou Payne, Hector Sarno, An
na May Walthall, Edneh Altemus,
and Frank Leigh.
In "As Man Desires,” Sills, famed
as “The Sea Hawk,” enacts the
part of a British army officer who,
accused of murder, flees to Tahiti
and becomes the notorious captain
of a pearl fishing vessel.
Miss Dana’s role is that of a vi
vacious, flirtatious native dancing i
girl, whose sacrificial love for Sills!
is the powerful motive around j
which the thrilling plot revolves.
The picture is one of action from
start to finish. It was directed by
Irving Commings under the super
vision of Earl Hudson.
“Reason and Rubber,” admonishes
an editorial headline. Well, a few
men do both, but most of them mere
ly rubber.

BEST SEASON FOR
TRAPPING EVER
KNOWN UNIMAK
The best game season in thirteen
years is reported on Unimak Island
and the trappers are very busy get- J
ting all kinds of skins. The most suc
cessful trappers had as high as 200:
red foxes apiece when the mail boat j
arrived at False Pass, and Mr. Oscar
Vanner, postmaster at False Pass and
manager of the P. E. Harris Company
commissary, has already shipped a
large consignment of furs to his com
pany, whose headquarters are in Se
attle, beside many small shipments
going by mail and freight. Mr. Frank
Wilson has caught a good supply of
mink and ermine, besides a large
quantity of red foxes.
A few of the other successful trap
pers are S. F. Smith, Nick Kristensen
and John Gardner, who have been in
this vicinity for many seasons. Many
young and inexperienced trappers al
ready have as many as 50 foxes to
their credit.
One trapper reported that while
making the rounds to his traps he
found one fox in a trap which he re
moved a short distance and reset, go
ing back to skin the fox left at the
old site. Another fox was caught in
the trap within a few minutes and
a total of six wert4 caught in the same
trap in less than two hours. The ani
mal^ were very numerous and seemed
to have no fear of the traps, which
leads the experienced trappers to be
lieve that the island is becoming over
stocked, so all trappers are making
an extra effort this year to decrease
the number. The game wardens have
maintained an excellent supervision
of this vicinity and there have been
no law violations. This is the rea
son that plenty of game is assured
each season.
Many Caribou on the Island.
I It is estimated that there are at
! least 4000 caribou on Unimak Island
besides numerous other game. This
island is adjoining the Alaska penin
sula and is separated by the narrow
strip of water known as False Pass.
The villages of False Pass and Iki
tan are in this vicinity where the
large canneries operate in summer.
The Pacific American Fisheries oper
j ate at Ikitan, and other ports along
the peninsula, while the P. E. Harris
plant at False Pass is one of the most
up-to-date and successful in the dis
trict. In spite of the poor run of sal
mon last year this cannery operated
at a profit.
At the other end of Unimak Island
are the two lighthouses of Scotch Cap
and Sarichef. These are about 20 miles
apart and light the way for many fish
ing vessels in Unimak Pass on their
way to and from Bristol Bay during
the fishing season.
Sarichef Light is on the Bering Sea
side and Scotch Cap Light on the
Pacific side. These are among the
best equipped light houses in Alaska,
with three keepers at each light
house.
At times the caribou herds come to
these light houses in great numbers
and have to be fenced out.
SPURIOUS LETTER COMES
GATEWAY SPORT EDITOR
In the mail this afternoon the
sporting editor of the Gateway staff
received the following letter, written
in a most unique style and no doubt
the challenge will be taken up by
those concerned. The letter follows:

Monsieur Jessen,

Mr. Hon. Sport Editor:
We, the flolowing named knights
of the horsehide, do hereby public
ly, belligerently, and with malice
aforethought challenge Team Num
ber One, erroneously named ‘Giants,’
to a game of Indoor Baseball on
Sunday aft. at 2 p. m., Feb. 7th. Play
ers will be: Bolam, Sheldon, McNal
j ly, Selby, Protzman Bowley Rucker,

acceptance of this challenge within
I 48 hours we will conclude that the
i aforesaid chesty aggregation has de
1 veloped cold feet. We feel that in
' the interests of public welfare the
i misnamed Giants must be taken down
a notch.

Codhshing and Fox
Farming, Jacob Island
Mr. Knut Knutsen, > the hustling
young farmer of Jacob Island near the
native village of Perryville, returned
to his island on the last mail boat
after spending Christmas and the
Russian holidays with his many
friends in Unga. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Knutsen and three children.
Mr. Knutsen has demonstrated that
diversified farming is successful in
the Aleutian group. While stocking
his island with a fine grade of blue
foxes he has entered the codfishing
business on a large scale, building a
Jock in Kupreanoff Harbor which sepa
rates his island from Paul island, oc
cupied by Chas. Brandel who is con
ducting farming along similar lines.
Last fall Mr. Knutsen loaded a large
shipment of codfish on the Starr for
shipment to San Francisco.
Mr. Knutsen also raises an abun
dant supply of potatoes and many oth
er vegetables for home use and is also
dairying on a small scale. On account
of the mild climate in this group there
is plenty of work that can be done at
all times.
Add similies: As painless as a
Congressional probe.

Point Barrow and other Alaska points,
where he trades with the natives.
His ship also carries supplies to the
settlement schools along the coast.
In the photograph the Captain and
his wife are shown beside the new

just purchased.
