THE handy little knife you carry in
your pocket was evolved of neces-
sity in the days when people wrote
with quill pens instead of steel. The
quilts wore down or broke, and it was
necessary to reshape them. Scriven-
ers found it unhandy to have a
straight knife always with them, SO
the present folding article was invent
ed TO fill the want. The name survives
though the use has gone.

 Territory with Gotwals.

After accompanying Col. J. C. Got walls, engineer officer of the Alaska Road Commission. from Eagle, via the Forty Mile district, over the old Ketchumstook mail trail to Gulkana and thence to Valdez, R. E. Steel, Territorial Game Warden of Eagle arrived in Juneau last night on the steamer Northwestern. The trip across the old Ketchumstook trail said MT Steel, was made in record time, the trail being in fair shape, despite lack of maintenance work for years with the exception of bridges being washed out
 The party, consisting of Colone, Gotwals, MT. Steel and Guy Birch, with four pack horses and three rid ing animals, left Eagle on June 26 Previous to that Colonel GOtwals had visited the Seventy district. En route 10 Forty-Mile, the party vis- ited Dome Creek where one hy draulic outfit is operating with good prospects for successful season; Jack Wade where A A McCandess has crew at work; Franklin and then Chicken, where about 20 men are working old claims this season. On June 30 the party left Chicken for Gulkana, seeing much game in the Mosquito Creek Flats At Mos quito Fork the pack train was stam- peded by a herd of about 200 cari- bou The party stopped overnight at Mansfield Village on the lake of the same name. On July Colonel Gotwals and his companions arrived at Tanana Crossing. On July they entered Mantasta Pass
 Best Pass on Range
 Colonel Gotwals was impressed with the opportunity for crossing the Alaska Range afforded by this pass" said Mr Steel. Recently that off cer has crossed all the principal passes of the range, including Broad Pass, Rainy Pass, Isabel and Man tasta. and he was convinced that the last named was the best of them all, according to MT.

 Juneau Good
 Taking the whole of Alaska all through, MT. Forrest is entirely sat isfied that Juneau is as good town IS can be found in the Territory at the present time. He, in company with Mrs. Forrest. left here on June 2S and have been travelling through out Western Alaska most of the time since.
 s1n all his travels on this trip, the one trip that excited his imagination he most, he said, was the one over the Government Railroad between Seward and Anchorage. This he claims will be one of the great scenic trips of the country and one that people in the future will travel many thousands of miles to make.

LONG TRIP TO HUNT FOR BIG
 ALASKAN BEAR
Theodore R. Hubback Comes to Alaska from Malay
 Peninsula Bear.

From the Malay Peninsula to King Cove, on the Alaska Peninsula, to hunt brown bear. is the trip made by Theodore R. Hubback, retired rubber planter and big game hunter, who is in the city today Mir. Hubback ar rived last night on the gasboat Ad- miralty from Hoonah. having reached that place from King Cove on the Pacific Alaska Fisheries vessel Cath crime D a few days ago He wilt leave Juneau on the Alameda to further continue his hunting in the Rainy Pass country in the Interior of Alaska.
 Successful Trip
 Mir. Hubback in company with ". T. Easley of New York, left Seattle on May 12 on the motorboat Anvil and were met at King Cove by H. Peel and Andre Simons. guides, and Mrs. Simons They had a very sue cessful hunt in that district, seeing at least 100 brown bear They were after specimens that were large and had good hides and found that most that they saw were of only me dium size and that their hides were rubbed MT. Hubback was forced to shoot one eight feet in length as it attacked his party. He also killed one that measures 1012 feet from tip to tip. MT Easley got his legal bag of three big fellows and continued on his way to the South on the Catherine D.
 In commenting on the trip MT. Hubback said that it was very prob able that the real hot weather they had on the hunting grounds was the cause of the large bears not being visible very often. He said the big fellows sought shelter during the day and that they found their tracks on the tops of the highest peaks.
 Into New Country
 In the country which Mr Hubback expects to go now, in the Rainy Pass country, no hunters have as yet travelled It is virgin country, it is said, so while at Washington on his way North MT, BuDDack was com missioned by Dr. K. W. Nelson, di- rector of the Biological Survey to secure some specimens of the game so that the survey may determine the species He will also get some sheep for the British Museum. He expects to find moose, bear, noun tain sheep and caribou in this new district and he will remain there until October, when he ex poets to come out over the snow, bringing his specimens with him by dog team. He will take a pack train in with him and MT. Simons will ac. him as a guide.

practically every part of it with the exception of Africa. in search of big game. Near his home on the Malay Peninsula, which is 200 miles from Singapore, he says that there is very good shooting, including elephants and wild cattle.
 Long Trip
 To get to Alaska to take another shot at the brown bear, he having visited the Kenai Peninsula three years ago, MT. Hubback went to Eng land, then crossed the United States and came North. When he returns to his home he will cross the Pa cific and will have circled the globe in making the trip.
 Live In the East
 Mr Hubback, who is an English man by birth, went to the Malay Free States 26 years ago and for d number of years followed his profes- sion of civil engineer. At about that time the cultivation of rubber start ed and he became interested ins it. A year ago he sold out his large rubber plantation and is now retired and will devote his time to travel and sports. Besides rubber, which is extensively raised in the Malay States, most of the worlds supply of tin also comes from there, Mr Hub back says, it being mostly placer tin worked in large glory holes.
 Great Asset
 Speaking of Alaskan game this noted hunter said that it is one of the great assets of the Territory that will bring people North in in. numbers.

days later Colonel Gotyals and MT NSteel reached Valdez
 Good Trail Companion
 Colonel Gotwals, said Mir Steel. is one of the best trail companions he has ever encountered During the entire trip he took the lead in ex- poring streams and located lords in dangerous spots, enabling the entire party to cross in safety. The jour ney of 360 miles was made without mishap and despite soft trails only one horse was down at any time and it suffered no injury. Colonel Got walls is deeply interested in the ter ritory and in his work of providing roads and trails to assist in it's de yelopment
 Sees Many Possibilities
 He was struck with the tpossibili ties of the country between the Yu- kon and Gulkana, which he saw for the first time on this trip, said Mr Steel. The Colonel summarized his impressions of. the district on his ar rival at Valdez as follows:
 The district through. which passed has wonderful possibilities as q mineral and grazing country There are vast prairies of good grazing land and good timber everywhere. It is really an unprospected country, as the 200 men who went over the pass in 1898 and 1899 en route to Dawson were not familiar with pros pecting and were intent on reaching the auriferous sands of the Yukon Good quartz can be seen in many places, and the country is highly mineralized on both sides of the dis trict traversed. When I saw the vast Copper River Valley stretched out before me l was greatly impressed with it's possibilities. This route to the Yukon is one of the most prac- ticable of any yet seen. The grades are slight, and the country is little troubled with deep snOws. Mt Wrangell was erupting as we came by Tulsona Creek, midway between Kokona and Chistochina, great clouds of smoke shooting high in the air.
 'The country is a veritable hunt CTS paradise, as vast numbers of carbon and moose were seen"
 Conditions Are Improving
 Conditions from mining stand point are more promising in the Eagle and Forty-Mile districts this season than for several years, said MT. Steel On the Seventy Riv- CT three hydraulic plants are inII stalled and some good pay is being taken out American Creek is still On Dome Creek, Lee Steele, of the Forty-Mile Power & Dredging Company, has crew hy- draulicking and the cleanups he has | in sight are expected to prove of | unusual value.

 MT. Steel will remain in Juneau | for d few days and take the first steamer to Skagway On his return | trip to Eagle. Mr Steel is an old timer in the Territory, being one of the stampeders going into the Yukon country in 1898 by the way of Val. dez Glacier and Mantasta Pass and the route over which Colonel Got 1 walls party came out to Gulkana.

Not even New York has so good a collection" he said this morning The entire collection which the Territory should be proud"
 The matter of permanent housing for the museum, said the Governor, is a question of immediate import ance He indicated that this would be one of the things which he would push.
 Plans Held Up.
 Governor Bon's plans fer his pro- posed visit to the Westward and the Interior are being held in abeyance until the receipt of telegraphic in- formation from Washington. He ad- vised Secretary Faf yesterday of his contemplated trip and is expecting to hear from the Secretary today
 The Governor said today that he would like very much to be accom- panied by H. K Thiele, who was recently nominated for Surveyor General to succeed R. J. Sommers, whose resignation has been for warded to Secretary Fall Owing to the fact that it will be several weeks before MT. Thiele, even after confirmation of his appointment, can go through the necessary routine of qualification, it may be possible 1 for him to make the trip. This, however, has not been definitely de- 1 termined. Gov. Bone has not yet an nounced definitely his itinerary.
