HOME TEAM WINS GAME
The Jesse Lee Home baseball team
administered a sound drubbing to the
Seward Boy Scouts last evening when
they mopped up on them to the tune
of 17 to 6. The scout’s only alibi is
that they were undermanned, the j
regular wrecking crew failing to be
on hand and show their stuff.

HERRING NOT SO PLENTIFUL
Lee H. Wakefield, herring packer
returned to port this morning on the ;
cannery tender Decorah leaving a
few hours later for Port Ashton. Mr.
Wakefield reports the herring run to
the Westward is not as good as has
been reported and that there are al
together to many boats in th waters
which has a tendency to split the
schools apart.

heads
An axe in the hands of a chap like
Tony Shelter, homesteader on Lake
Kenai located about three nr.les down
the lake from Lawtng. is a marvelous
tool, for Mr. Shelter has actsaSy
hewn for himself a beautiful little ;
home. Every piece of furniture. 1
chairs, tables, bedstead, setee, and |
the many other items fonnd in the *
average home, is homemade. And
well made. For upholstering pur
poses he utilized home grown hay
covered over with pelts from an;ma!s
slain in the forest which surrounds
him; a hammock hanging in an ar
tistic, rustic arbor built on a h;gh
prominence, visible foT miles out on
the lake. Is made from a black bear
skin measuring six feet and ‘re in r.
It is said that in every human be
ing there is artistry and originality;
in some this talent, which generally
lies dormant, is expressed in various
ways; some with oils, some in gra
nite and, occasionally like Tony, with
a plain axe. He is building with lov
ing care and with an amazing craf s
manship. Even the doors on hi? log
cabin are thing of beauty and staunch.
Not satisfied with just a plain door
Mr. Shelter built an entrance which
is equal to the best in Seward. It
is seldom he has visitors so it was
not with a sense of show that he is
building such a comfortable and pret
ty home but that inner craving for
the beautiful as well as practicable.
If Mr. Shelter's home was located
near Seward, that is to say, near
enough for all visitors in the city to
call in to his place it would be with
out doubt the show place and meeea for
tourists.
The first thing which will impress
a visitor to the unique lake home is
the ideal sandy beach. Leading up
from the boat house on shore is ax
excellent, wide and well graveled
road, winding around a small hillock
A little further on the road is divider
by a terrace. Large boulders form
retaining walls. Rocks also form a
border for the entire roadway over
which beach gravel was strewn.
A clear, sparkling and swift run
ning stream passes directly in front
of the home and. if he so desires, he
can hook a fish from this same
stream. Two logs span the creek and
a trail carries on to the rustic arbor.
To tbe right of the home Mr. Shel
ter has a well kept truck garden un
der cultivation and around this he has
erected a fence, composed of short
pieces of birchwood, interlaced—ano
ther work of art—for even the hinges
on the gate were carefully selected
from a peculiar shaped branch Soon
after Mr. Shelter put in his garden
he discovered rabbits and porcupines
would ruin anything he raised so he
was compelled to erect the fence.
He is convinced that he has killed
at least 500 porcupines since he mov
ed onto the ground two years ago.
Now, he stated, they are becoming
real scarce.
“My goodness, Mr. Shelter you must
have "worked awfully hard to do ail
this,” a recent visitor exclaimed. “Oh
