FREIGHT LIGHTERED TO
At places to the Westward where
the mail boat S. S. Starr does not
dock and where the freight and
passengers must preforce be light
ered ashore, motor boats, power ,
dories and dories without power
shove off from the shore to take
the cargo to the beach. Often a
power boat will tow as many as six
dories to the side of the vessel
where the donkey engineman
aboard the steamer gets in some
keen work loading them; and re
gardless of how much they may be
bouncing around down there, the
cargo is always loaded safely with
out losing any overboard.
At these times passengers are
introduced to the “Jacobs Ladder"
climbing off or on the vessel. Its a
great sight to see these small fleets
push off from the shore, some with
but one man in them, but more
loaded with the entire family; even
down to the blamed dog.
There is an abundance of red,
cross fox, marten, weasel and many
other fur-bearing animals in the
Port Heiden region and each year
the handful of trappers make ex
cellent harvests. Last winter every
trapper averaged at least 50 fox, it
is reported.
A FINE FELLOW
The mail clerk aboard the S. S.
Starr. Mr. Hicks, is undoubtedly one
of the most popular of men on the
vessel; not only with members of
the crew but with Westward citi
zens. Accomodating and pleasant
every hour of the day. Mr. Hicks,
who speaks in one of those im
mense bass voices that seems to
have in them some of the sea’s un
dertones. has been on the ship for
a long time now and everyone
hopes he never will ask for a
Chaw- He is a veteran of the
World War, a “flame -..Utt’owerr-and,
during the rescue of the, “Lost
Battalion." was one of the >eighty
survivors of his squad.

Capt. Andrew Grosvold, one of
the best known of oldtime West
ward settlers, first came north in
1883. In 1902 he purchased a busi
ness at Sand Point and from that

began. Captain Grosvold is the
father of many adopted children,
beside Mrs. Grosvold and himsell
raising a family of their own.
On good clear days at sea on the
Westward run out of Seward to the
Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula
the visibility is excellent for some
times a distance of 125 miles.

Your Throat Protection—against irritation—against cough
*An investigation conducted by tbe Association of Life Insurance Medical Directors and the Actuarial Society
of America revealed the fact that the death rate increases practically 1 % for every pound of excess weij^ht
carried between the ages of 40 and 44 years. In other words, a man 40 pounds overweight at this age
has only 60% of the expectancy of life of a man of normal weight. We do not represent that smoking
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 modem, graceful form.
