WILD CATTLE ON CHIRIKOF
REMNANT OF RUSSIAN HERDS
The band of wild cattle which range
on Chirikof island, a lone and forbid
ding spot southwest of Kodiak, is a
remnant of herds placed on the island
about 160 years ago by the Russians.
At this time the island was used as
a penal settlement by the Russians,
and mines on the island were worked
by the prisoners. For many years the
Aleuts shunned the island claiming
it was haunted by the spirits of the
natives killed by their Russian mas
ters.
A few years ago the island was leas
ed from the Department of Agricul
ture by Karl Armstrong, of Kodiak,
who placed a number of blue foxes
•on it. These animals are propagating
rapidly.
The wild cattle on the island now
number about 300, and owing to con
stant interbreeding they are very
small, heavily furred and as wild as
mountain sheep. The cattle are ex
tremely agile and climb about the
steep mountainsides like goats. It is
said that they will be hunted down
by Mr. Armstrong and killed for fox
meat.
The Pioneers will give a dance next
Saturday in Odd Fellows’ hall, Every
one is invited.

“THE COVERED WAGON” BE
SHOWN HERE NEXT WEEK
Manager Brownell of the Liberty
Theatre announces that the greatest
picture of modern times, “The Covered
Wagon,” showing the old Chisholm
trail, the goldseekers caravans, and
life in ’4!), will be shown here next
week, probably Tuesday and Wednes
day, although the dates will be an
nounced later. This picture aroused
more comment at Anchorage and Fair
banks than anything ever shown on
the screen. The price of admission
will be much lower than in the states,
where as high as $2 was charged for
first run pictures.
If you miss “The Covered Wagon”
you will be sorry. Watch for the an
nouncement in Monday’s Gateway.
WHO’S GUILTY?
“Who’s guilty?” This is the ques
tion that agitates the audience until
the very last ine one of the strongest
mystery plays ever seen on a screen,
in which in turn every character is
suspected*, almost engulfed in the net
of evidence: then released. The so
lution comes in a dramatic climax
as surprising as it is sensational. The
play is “The Acquittal,” Universal
super-Jewel production of Rita M ei
inan’s famous stage play, at the Lib
erty tonight and Monday. Norman
Kerry and Claire Windsor, with an all
star cast, enact the tale.
STARR COMING WEST
The steamer Starr last evening was
150 miles west of Cape Spencer, tow
ing a pile driver. Weather good.
Gateway want-ads bring results.
PACIFIC STEAMSHIP COMPANY
ISSUES BEAUTIFUL FOLDER
The 1925 “Top o’ the World Tours”
folder issued by the Pacific Steamship
Company is a beautiful work of the
printer’s art, and gives a comprehen
sive description of Alaska, being pro
fusely illustrated. The tours arranged
by the steamship company are seven
in number and include tours to south
eastern Alaska, to Skagway and the
beautiful Atlin district, to Seward
and westward points, and to Mt. Mc
Kinley National Park and Fairbanks.
Tour No. 6 is from Seattle to Mc
Kinley National Park via Seward and
return, the trip of 4,694 miles requir
ing 24 days, and being made for the
nominal round tVip■'cost of S221.25.
The rate includes transportation to
Seward and return, meals and berth
on the steamer but not on the Alaska
railroad or maintenance at hotels. The
company will arrange sailings from
Seattle at 10 a. m. every other Tues
day.
Seward is given a fine write-up in
the folder, and a good description of
the trip over the railroad is also given.
Some of the best views of the Mt. Mc
Kinley district we have yet seen in
print, are shown in the folder.
Some reliable information is given
tourists as to what to wear while tour
ing the Territory, as well as places of
interest for side trips.
TERM OF COURT BE
HELD IN SEWARD
Judge Wm. D. Coppernoll returned
on the Northwestern from Valdez,
where he was called on a business trip.
Mr. Coppernoll states that Valdezans
are optimistic over the coming sum
mer’s mining, and that several prop
erties will be worked. Mr. Copper
noll stated that Judge E. E. Ritchie
informed him that a term of court
would be held in Seward early in May,
at which time grand and petit juries
would be drawn and number of cases,
including several fish cases would be
tried here. This term will last about
three weeks or longer. Seward
draws the term this year instead of
Anchorage, which is welcome news to
our citizens.

Good Eyesight Needed
To Confirm Scientists
LONDON, March 21—The tiniest
things which the human eye can see
are the black spots and patches some
times visible in soap bubbles, said
Sir William Bragg, lecturing recent
ly on “Ray and Soap Films” at the
Royal Institution.
The rainbow colored soap Rims
are therefore, not the tiniest things
the human eye can detect. The
black areas are so thin that if the
soap bubbles could be magnified to
the size of the earth and the thick
ness of the enveloping film increased
in proportion, the film then wrould
only be the thickness of a sheet of
glass
SMALL HAT AGAIN
TO REIGN AGAIN
PARIS, March 21.—The spring of
fensive of the picture hat has failed
milliners fear that small hats will
reign supreme until women allow
themselves more hair.
The hats seen here are close fit
ting, especially at the back, where
there is frequently no brim or a
small turned-up one at the most.
Crowuis are high and are pinched
and pulled about to rob them of
stiffness or harshness . The brim is
shaped to suit the face.
Black, beige and leather brown
I continue to be the colors most worn.
Fire Destroys Large
Building in Anchorage
Fire last night is reported to have
destroyed Robarts Hall, at Anchorage
The amount of damage done has not
been stated, the report being very
meagre as to details. Robarts hall
was one of the first large buildings to
be constructed in the early days and
has since been the scene of many
sporting events. A boxing contest
had been billed for tonight between
the Cook Inlet Kid and Kid McCar
thy. The building may have been de
stroyed or merely damaged, the re
ports saying it burned but giving no
details.
KELSO MAYOR REFUSES

Rui'ic Todd refused recently to sign

and local improvement district
warrants, totaling more than $15,
000, authorized by the city council

ment warrant for $11,000 payable
to Herbert Moss for work done in
the installation of the street lighting
system is the largest sum involved.
Mr. Moss will start mandamus ac
tion* to compel payment of the war
rant. Todd gave no reason to City

sign the warrant.
