MILLIOAIRE IS
 GOING TO ATLIN
 TO HUNT BIRDS
Philadelphia Man Hale and Hearty, Only Seventy
 Is Bound for His g Annual Jaunt.

More than seventy years old and recognized as one Of the greatest amateur big game sportsmen in the country, Thomas Martindale. Phila- delphia millionaire wholesale grocer, was in Juneau Saturday night while the City Of Seattle was in port.
 Nearly every kind of game that this country affords has fallen be- fore the rifle of Martindale. This is his fourth trip Co Alaska search ing for new sport each time. Three years ago he hunted in the Bear Lake district. the next year in the White river country and last year near Cook Inlet. This year he goes to Atlin to hunt around Atlin Lake. which is one of the best ptarmigan fields in the Northland.
 Likes 10 Rough lt
 Mr. Martindale has a camp in the Maine woods. but says that hunting there is getting too tame for him and he likes to get out where he can rough it. Three or four months each year he deyotes to the outdoor life and to this he attributes the fact that he is as hale and hearty at his age as are most men at the age ol 50
 The deer and moose hunting of the Maine country are good, according to Mir. Martindale, but he declares there is no sport that quite equals that Of hunting the Alaskan brown bear. Incidentally, he modestly relates one or two incidents when he has been hunting that animal, that after succeeding in wounding his quarry. he figured that he had about an even break in stopping the animal as he charged.
