El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-09-06

, trip to Alaska this summer was seeing
my Is year old son Claiming kill the
largest bear killed on the trip. He
was a big one. Mrs Brown, Dr.. and
Mrs. S. T Turner of FL Paso, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Livingston, and m Wilson, of
Maria, Texas, made the trip with me
Alaska is a spOrtsman's paradise Bear
and all other kind of big game abound
and the fishing is the finest in the
world The halibut and king salmon
Juggling away on 500 feet of line VIII
more than keep you busy.
THE round trip from Seattle up into
the interior of Alaska costs SOS and is
well worth the money. The boats make
about is knots an hour.
August is the best time to tour that
country, especially for spOrtsmen, for
the bear are coming down from the
mountains and the fish are coming in
from the salt water to seek the fresh.
It Is cold and wet, but there is plenty
Of fun. This is my second trip and
I am going again
'iThe fisheries are a marvel, the
millions of acres of lumber are price
less and the scenery is beyond descrip-
ton. World travellers have told me
that the trip into the interior OF
Alaska surpasses anything they have
ever seen anywhere"
Good Place to sleep.
Sheriff Peyton J. Edwards says:
Long Beach impressed me as a mighty
Ice Cream and Pie at Long Beach.
Miss Ruby Hadlock who spent her
summer vacation at Long Beach, said:
'Of an the things, chocolate ice cream
and blackberry pie, a Ia mode They
do have it there, remember the pie
and ice cream more distinctly than
anything else"
Easier to Spend Than Make.
County treasurer J. D. Ponder, who
-
Up every Saturday to ClOudcroft to
visit Mrs. Ponder and the little Pom
derS, returning the following Sunday,
says: "The thing that impressed me
was this, how much easier it is to
spend money summers, than to make
it"
Sees Sardine Fishing Birds.
W H. Fryer, court stenOgrapher OF
the saith district court who spent his
honeymoon at Santa Cruz and other
California points, says: The little
black sardine fishing birds impressed
on the trip. In the summers they come
from the home Of Billy Smith, 'Haus-
tralia-' lowering near the shore, thew
wait until the glimmering sardine
jumps out Of the water, then the birds
fly out and dart down, catching them
The place was black with them When
I first saw them I thought that 1t was
an FL Paso dust storm. The birds
return to their native heath when the
weather grows cold. Some of them
were leaving for Australia when left
Santa Cruz
Catching MackereI.s Says the Judge.
Judge Dan NJ Jackson, who spent
part of his vacation at Port Arkansas,
Texas, says: ''Of all the sports, catch
ing mackerel cannot be beaten. OF
course tarpon fishing is the king of
fishing sports, but a man who enjoys
fishing will find nothing lacking when
II comes to catching mackereL The
mackerel begin to jump at the break
Of day and before the land breeze
springs up. As soon as the breeze
comes up, they disappear One morn
ing with four lines trolling from a
gasoline launch, we caught 1SS pounds
Of mackerel in the time that I am tell
ing you about it I enjoyed this fish
ing more than anything else"
Rice Fields Attract Police Chief.
Police chief l. n. Davis, who spent
his vacation at Galveston, saws: THE
rice fields I saw and the fruit farms
impressed me more than anything. The
evidences of prosperity which are nlafn
all the way from San Antonio to the
gulf is a sight worth seeing. The
finest fruit farms I have ever seen
are between Galveston and Houston.
I never saw finer fruit or vegetab HES
Another thing that impressed me was
that the local police department is
second to none in the state I do NOT
say this because I am head of the de-
parImenL- 1 visited the departmeD+s of
San Antonio. Fort Worth. DaTIa. ana
Houston, just for the purpose of learn
ing by comparison, and I am frank "a
say that this department is second 10
none" -
