got busy and now the judge is ex

was all a joke and not intended tc

OLDEST LIVING
SEA OTTER-SEAL
HUNTER VISITOR
JULIUS CHRISTAINSEN OF SEL

I IN ALASKA 45 YEARS
Taking Foxes to Norway in Fai
Where He Plans to Remain Perma
nently—Life Full of Adventures or
Both Land and Sea,—71 Years Ole
- “Forty-five years of adventure in
Alaska,” would be an apt title to the
history attached to Julius Christainsen
whose activities up to this time have
been spent among the Aleutian isl
ands. Mr. Christainsen arrived in
Seward a few days ago from Seldo
via, where he and his partner have
been operating a fox farm for the last
14 years. He has disposed of his in
terest in the farm and proposes to
leave for Norway this fall, taking a
pair of young foxes with him for
breeding purposes.
He states that he anticipates round
ing out his life in Christiania, Nor
way, where he was! born 71' years ago,
for two reasons: First, on account
of his relatives’ estate, left him re
cently, and, secondly due to the death
of his wife at Seldovia, three years
ago. If Mrs. Christainsen had lived,
he said he would never think of re
turning to the old country. However,
he says, Seldovia friends tell him he
will be back, if'not within a year, in
a short time thereafter, for he has
been in Alaska too long to change his
abode and remain satisfied in what
must now be an almost strange land.
Mr. Christainsen is remaining in
Seward until the arrival of the Admi
ral Evans, on which he expects rela
tives from Cordova. He will return
to Seldovia with them, remaining for
the summer. During his visit in Sew
ard he is a guest at the Hotel Sex
ton.
Sea Otter and Seal Hunter.
Putting to shame the average man,
less than half his age, but his erect
carriage, great height, and piercing
gaze as keen as that of an eagle, and
with enthusiasm as buoyant as when,
a young man, he arrived in Alaska
on a sailing schooner many days out
of San Francisco, Mr. Christainsen
related to a Gateway representative a
few pages of his life’s history as a
sea otter and seal hunter. In this re
spect it is believed he is the oldest
living survivor of the thousands of
hunters who formerly sailed those
stormy seas, ekeing out a living in
chase of the furry denizens of the
deep. Many times during those stren
uous years he was wrecked or lost at
sea, adrift in small boats. Once in

midwinter, lie said, he an dhis part
ner were caught out in a fierce bliz
zard and for six days and night were
buffeted about the seas in a blinding
snowstorm, finally making a landing
on a rocky prominence 40 miles dis
tant from their camp. With their
clothing frozen on them, without fire
or food, and practically without sleep
they finally shoved off in calmer wea
ther and, rowing all day and half the
night, finally made their landing at
the base camp where succor was ad
ministered by their comrades who had
given them up for lost, days before.
But this was just one of the many
experiences he went through. As he
stated, his adventures, if recorded,
would fill at least a volume, for those
were the days when battles with na
ture were encountered every day.'
The only thing that would bring
him back from Norway, he said, would
be news that the government, has
lifted the barrier on sea otters and
seal hunting, and that this once thriv
ing business is again open to citizens
of the United States. He is firmly
convinced that the Russian treaty in
effect when the Territory was pur
chased by the United States, which
absolutely barred foreign nations from
participating in the industry, is the
only form of treaty to go into effect,
with the lifting soon of the present ^
bars which have prevented anyone en
gaging in sea otter or seal hunting,
for many years past.
COAST GUARDTO
BE AUGMENTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4 (£>)—
The coast guard, like John Paul Jones,
has only begun to fight. Assistant 4
Secretary Andrews, prohibition field
marshal declared that the Atlantic
rum row blockade was merely a skir
mish to establish contact with the
enemy. The real war will begin in
the near future.
Guardsmen whose enlistments are
expiring, if found unfit are not urged
to re-enlist. Additional ships have
been contracted for and will be ready
by the end of the summer.
The Ohio supreme court upheld a
Columbus high school in separating
negro pupils from white.
Prof. Dunlap of Johns Hopkins
University declared that future wars
are inevitable if the present increase
in population continues.
