UNKNOWN WESTWARD ALASKA
We have just completed a pleasant journey to a
strange land within Alaska; a strange land from the
standpoint of customs, of livelihood, of geography and
mystery: Westward Alaska.
That portion of Alaska west of Seward where one
can take passage on the S. S. Starr and steam 3,440
miles—about the distance from New York to London—
and each hour of the day and night, glimpse a different
land. A strange land indeed but a wonderous one; one
tremendously rich in present and potential resources.
Almost a month was spent on the interesting jour
ney and, without any attempt at continuity, we have
chronicled the voyage as we found it. ,
So, beginning with the next issue* the Gateway will
relate a part of tne story of the Westward and every
day thereafter until the ' hundreds of items which have
have already been written, will be published.
In ending we can say no more than of all the mar
velous journeys to far-away places within the confines
of this immense Territory of Alaska, it is impossible to
find one excelling Westward Alaska; where the second
highest tide in the world occurs and also where there are
no tides; where islands spring up from the sea; a tree
less region; where the largest group of active volcanoes
in the world roar; where thousands of men gather each
year for a brief period and where the largest cities of
the world could be dropped in any one of the hundreds
of magnificent ports, and on islands, and be lost.
There is just about as much danger of killing all the
bear off Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula as there
is probability of stamping out the flu, yet Seward Ed
ward White lets out an agonized howl in the Saturday
Evening Post that this will be done if the government
lifts protection on the brutes. In Sweden they have been
offering bounty on bear for centuries and they are still
plentiful as ever.
After an exhaustive investigation the board of in
quiry probing the burning of the Ohio State Peniten
tiary has come to the intelligent conclusion that the
blaze was on the inside of the building.

were 10 of the hardest days—from
the standpoint of work—that he
dad ever done. During that time
the hunters glimpsed a total of 18
bears. Most of these, with the ex
ception of those shot, were badly
rubbed and not worth anything as
i trophy.
Base camp was established at the
head of the bay about 25 miles
from Uyak proper. The hunters
reached their destination, after
disembarking from the S. S. Starr,
with a 16-foot outboard motorboat
of the hydroplane hull type; the
small boat was powered by a 7 h. p.
; uper Elto speedster. The boat was
stored away at Uyak until next
spring when another hunt is plan
ned but the engine was brought
back.
Horton in bringing down the big
baby, registered four hits out of six
at a distance of about 45 yards.
The men hit 75 percent of their
targets, they figure
Valade almost had the rear of
his pants bitten off when a bear
and cubs, he was sneaking up on,
slid around to his starboard side
and circled back of him, uninten
tionally. When the bears got a
whiff of Valade, Horton, who was
watching the scene from a nearby
ridge, said they turned tail and fled
away from that place with the
speed of the wind. Valade has it
doped out the bears must have
been about 15 feet behind.
Horton now has the worthy am
bition of going into the depths of
the frigid Arctic zone after a polar
bear. Valade gives his partner
credit for being the champion hot
cake maker in the Territory; at the
same time he apologized for being
so lax in rolling out of the hay in
the mornings.
Some of the bear trails they fol
lowed were worn down one and one
half feet, Valade stated. The men
were also very fortunate in obtain
ing a large number of photographic
studies of bears and their cubs
Both men lauded to the skies of
splendid courtesy extended to them
by the cannery superintendents
with whom they visited, namely H.
T. Domenici, of the N. F. C.. whose
never failing efforts to make them
feel at home will ever rmain one of
the pleasant features of their hunt
in the Uyak Bay country.
Mrs. Wooten and three children
are passengers on the S- S. Admir
al Evans for Kodiak. From there
they will take passage on the S. S.
Starr for Chignik where Mr. Woo
ten is employed in one of the two
large canneries.
The body of the young cannery
bookkeeper. Raymond Bitzer, who
died from pneumonia at Chignik
some weeks ago, was brought to
Seward aboard the S. S. Starr. The
body is consigned to Oakland Calif
where the parents of the deceased
reside.
Elsie Wamser, Territorial school
teacher, boarded the S. S. Starr at
Naknek enroute to Kodiak.
It was noted on the last voyage of
the S. S. Starr that another famous
mount ceased smoking; Capt. Carl
E. Anderson, genial master of the
vessel which monthly plies the per
ilous winter run, and an inverterate
cigar smoker, swore off smoking for
three days.
