The San Francisco call., 1910-03-12
BY C. NJ. McCULLAGH

WAS working in Seattle when the
gold rush to A1aska began, and as
one after another of my friends took
the golden trail and came back laden
with dust and adventure 1 became
more and more eager to try my own
fortune
So one spring I started out, and for
while I followed the trail from
camp to camp. But my money soon
gave out and without any practical
knowledge of mining / found myself
laying down pick and cradle more and
more for my gun.
There is something that has always
appealed to me in the outdoors of
new country, where a man can turn
around without humping elbows with
his neighbor. Alaska, British Collin-
bia, Calgary-they are all alike In
their snow and isolation. but they
have their own charm. and one may
be more independent out there than
anywhere else on earth
Gun in hand all necessities, except
-four. are free. and the extra game he
can shoot will pay for any luxuries he
may desire. Chained to no spot an
swerable to no one, the world of out
doors is his. He need never be lonely
or idle. for the woods are full of wild
things, and to live he must pit his
skill against their instinct. 1t was
through this delight in the wild free
dom OF those mountain woods that l
drifted into hunting as a profession.
My first job was with man who
ran fox ranch on Sukoi island.
small spot of about 26 acres, opposite
Wrangell narrows. 1t lay in the ex-
treme southeast where the long coast
strip of Alaska runs down beside Brit
ish Columbia. It's nearest neighbor
was Chickagof island, which is just
north of Baranof, the island upon which
Sitka the capital OF Alaska, is located
The house and main station were at
the northern end of the island, ex-
posed to the southeasters which always
blow up in that country. / shall never
forget my first sight OF the island en-
tirely covered with thick coating OF
frost, like big birthday cake, with
glistening trees for candles.
Besides Cal Hughes, the chap who
operated the place, and who was all
right. except for liking for the man
dOlin and a notion that he could sing,
the family consisted of an old hard
rock miner named Jack; Homer, a boy
from Seattle, and a bear! Jack was
one of the best natured men 1 ever
knew. He took the job of cooking
because nobody else would have it. and
he never got cross except at the stove
when il wouldn't burn, or at the bear
when he stole something. Homer was
strictly cheechacho, which is Siwash

so that if one ever gets hold of a man
his arm or leg has to be cut off. After
this hard. cold work we used to row
back to shore. clean our fish ready for
shipment and then what breakfasts
we ate! Jack certainly could cook.
We had to keep very close watch,
as the Indians were willing to take a
chance of being shot for the sake of
trapping our foxes, whose splendid blue
winter coats are worth $50 apiece.
Every night we took turns patrolling
the island, guns ready for poachers.
One evening, just before supper, [
was returning from round of the
island. and as j neared the house saw
deer tracks and noticed where one had
been walking along the top of a log.
l went in and told the boys. and when
we had finished supper and were sit
ting around talking we heard the soft
crunch, crunch of snow, not 20 feet
from the door and the bear began to
stir uneasily in his cage.
Outside, though, we could see moth
ing. We could hear the deer thrashing
about through the brush We found the

a deer had landed after swimming

Seattle was very much excited and
we were all interested. for our supply

We had had no chance to get across
to the island for week. as it had been
blowing up a gale that no boat could
have lived through.
So we all took our guns and scat
tered over the island in the hope OF
getting a shot. | went from one end
to the other and everywhere found
tracks. but caught not a glimpse of the
deer themselves.

the island and stopped to listen, Not

for greenhorn-though nice sort of a
chap. But the bear was certainly a
star performer. We caught him when
he was small cub, playful as kitten,
but he grew up into regular old
Crouch. Nothing could be set out to
cool that he did not investigate. He
could not resist hot prunes and figs
even when they burned his nose and,
though none of us was devoted to
prunes as a matter of principle we
grudged them to him in a country
where fresh fruit was SO scarce.
One day he reached up on the porch
and turned kettle of hot fruit COM
pletely over himself in such a way
that the kettle stuck TO his head He
was a disgusted bear, but the fun
began when Jack discovered what he
had done and seized the nearest
weapon. which happened to be the
crossbar of a halibut anchor. The bear
was too much engaged with the Kettle
to put up any kind of scrap, and
Jack struck him a pretty one along
the left ear, which turned Mr.. Bruins
toes up to the cold stars.
This lasted our little pet for some
time, but one day. he got an idea that
he wanted a bite of something different
to eat, so when Homer, not knowing
shed in the dark, the bear seized him
by the shoulder and gave him an ugly
bite. Brun was in no condition to

him and didn't show up for week.

but never allowing us to catch sight OF
him.
He developed a desire to see how
much furniture he could break up in
given time. so we had to bar him
out of the house, and he slept III
cage in the yard. He took this very
much to heart. as he had been used
to being kept in the warm house and
petted and he used to spend hours
on the porch trying to turn the knob
with his paws. Once in a while he
would bite IT, and now and then he
would give grunt and hit the door
with his paw. + Finally, one night. he
knocked the whole panel of the door

service is not the fault 90 the gov

tives In congress is the stand taken

MIR. Knox In an interview with sew
erai Southern members said he would
be glad If greater number of capa
BILE and qualified Southern men could
be induced to apply for positions n
the diplomatic service outside Of anu

matte and consular appointments are
matters of examination and the policy
OF Mr.. Knox is that politics shall have
nothing to do with them. They are
not party places" and he does not
regard or treat them as such. A sys-
