BRISTOL BIT HQ
IS NOT SO GREAT
“The damage by the reported
tidal wave in Bristol Bay, last
November, was apparently not
so great as was at first reported,”
stated Capt. H. Larson, superin
tendent of the Bristol Bay Packing
Co., who returned on the S. S.
Starr from a survey of the sit
uation.
Captain Larson was sent up
last November from the San
Francisco headquarters offices
and has spent the intervening
time coming and going but was
only able to go as far as Nak
nek on account of weather con
ditions which made traveling al
most impossible.
The big 10-line plant at Nak
nek was not damaged but the
fish dock and bulkheads did suf
fer somewhat from the giant
hammerings from the sea which
was swelled to fury by a south
west wind which he was informed
reached a velocity, at times, of
about 125 miles an hour. At the
other end of the bay the tide
wg-r- said to have reached seven
beyond previous high water marks.
He said it must have been the
tail-end of a hurricane sweeping
this way from the Orient. This
was on November 24. Though he
could not make visits to other
portion of the district yet he
was informed of havoc wrought;
this also, he said, was probably
not as much damaged as the ori
ginal reports would indicate.
It took Captain Larson three
weeks to reach Naknek from San
Francisco and he figures it will
be just 54 days to get back to
the Golden Gate from the West
ward cannery. He left Seward
on the December voyage of the
S. S. Starr.
Reminiscent of early days in
Alaska Captain Larson recalled
when Jf first arcived in the Port
of Seward, or rather where Sew
ard since sprouted. It was in
1898 and in the face of a howling
gale he landed a few people and
horses on the beach, while an
chored off-shore. The vessel was
the steamer Noyo which oldtimers
may recall.
Captain Larson will be here
for over a week because of the
fact he can’t get away. He goes
south on the S. S. Northwestern
a week from tomorrow. Todaj
he was a guest at the Sewag-d
> Chamber of Commerce luncheon
During his stay here he is a
guest at the Van Gilder Hotel.

AVOID THAT
FUTURE SHADOW*
By refraining from over
indulgence, if you would
maintain the modern figure
of fashion
Fashion revels in the soft, en
chanting curves of the modern
figure. Don’t sacrifice that grace
ful contour by permitting your
eyes to be bigger than your stom
ach. Be moderate—be moderate
in all things, even in smoking.
Eat healthfully but not immoder
ately. When tempted to treat your
self too well, when your eyes are
bigger than your stomach, light
a Lucky instead. Coming events
cast their shadows before. Avoid
that future shadow by avoiding
over-indulgence if you would
maintain the modern, alluringly
rounded figure.
Lucky Strike, the finest Cigarette
you ever smoked, made of the
finest tobacco—The Cream of the
Crop—“IT’S TOASTED.” Every
one knows that heat purifies and
so ‘‘TOASTING” not only re
moves impurities but adds to the
flavor and improves the taste.
“It’s toasted”
*Be Moderate!... Don't jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab
lets or other quack “anti-fat" remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are
wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok
ing Lucky Strike Cigarettes will bring modern figures or cause the reduction of flesh. We do declare that when
tempted to do yourself too well, if you will “Reach for a Lucky" instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence
in things that cause excess weight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form.
