! ImoReANs STORY OF
 INTERESTING TRIP
 FAIRBANKS. Jan. I2.- After an ] absence of five months within three days. Carey Morgan of the Belmont MorgauIselin hunting party and their guides Harry Karstens, of this city returned at Fairbanks at noon today says the Nows-AIiner There prob ably was never @ better equipped hunt. ing party ever went into the interior Of Alaska than this one. composed of the sons of prominent Eastern fi- nanciers and Morgan says that they got all they bargained for and more too
 Young Morgan is leaving at once for his home ln New York. being unable to remain away longer on account of business engagements which he agreed 10 before coming North. Karstens win return to the camp on the Toklat within the next few daya and bring in the rest of the party who are now enjoying some trapping and who are loatho to leave the wilderness. It will i probably be close to another month before they reach here.
 The boys have had great trip and they win no doubt return East with such an enthusiastic account of what Alaska offers to hunters that other parties will come this way next summer. With their moving picture machine. ordered by wire tho day the party left here they have taken nun dreds Of feet of wild animal scenes and hunting expeditions that will lat CT entertain their friends and the pub. lie at large perhaps, telling the story better than it can loo told in print or by word of mouth
 With lheir guns they have shot bear, moose, caribou, mountain sheep, fox and the smaller game. and they win ship out innumerable trophies Of the hunt. The sled that Karstens and Morgan brought in today was loaded down with skins. horns and heads and up at the camp on the To- klat river there is at least as much again being cured for shipment. One set of horns brought in measured five feet nine inches across and protected SO far beyond the sides of the load that they had great trouble in cutting the trail wide enough In places Ise- lin killed 9 grizzly that measured eight feet nine inches from tip to tlp, in an unstetched condition.
 Once when taking moving pictures of mountain sheep, they were able to. get within forty paces of three rams and remained there for a long time The game appeared to be fascinated by the sight Of the machine and paid but little attention to the men them selves who smoked and chatted with each other. wondering how long their wild animal friends would remain. AL SO they succeeded In getting a good picture of foxes at play and some very thrilling bear pictures These iilme will. it IS expected, be taken Outside for development 30 thot Fairbanks people win not have a chance to see them untn duplicate reels are ship ped in here.
 Morgan Belmont and Charlie Iselin, ! Jr, with Ed. Seitz and Earl Durgan are stil at the camp and hope to get several more fine fur skins before coming out By this time all the East ern boys have learned how to "mush' Q dog team. skin the iurred animals properly and take care Of head, be. sides "siwashlng' cooking, and var ious other camp and tran accomplish ments.
 'Its a large country" said Morgan ! today, Much larger than ever real. ized This trip beats the sterotyped l trip around the world that 90 many of the college boys take after complot-l | ing their university work and when ] l return ] am going to tell my friends and acQuaintauces so We are highly ! satisfied with our experience and none of the boys would have missed it for anything. IL has been great sport and good for us in every way. My one re- gret is that am obliged to 30 East alone
 Harry Karstens, the Mckinley guide, | who had the party in charge from the I time of their arrival here last August says that they. covered the Mckinley country pretty we'll They practically circled the base of Inc great mountain hunted on the dozen streams which ! lnd their source on its glaciered side and made countless trips in all direc tions rom their established camp on the middle fork of the Toklat river, A5 miles above Knights place Ift there is anything they missed, be does not known what t was. They had no accidents no siolsnes5 and iu fact to date every arrangement bus worked out smoothly
