Princeton Graduates Making Trek Into Lake Clarke Region
 After Big Game; 60 Day Trp
JOHN BAILEY, FUR BUYER, TRAD FER AND GUIDE, WILL TAKE PARTY iN-DEcLARES .COUN- TRY BE VIRGIN FIELD FOR GAME-lS FIRST HUNTING EX- PEDITlON-LEAvE SEWARD ON s. s. STARR

Alaska, even though it is known as frontier country, has been covered pretty thoroughly by the prospector, trader and trapper, but there are yet certain portions of the Territory but few white men have ever visited and where Indians of those regions exist almost entirely on meat flour being practically unknown to them. And in these particularly isolated re- gions the game animals have so far forgotten their natural instinct against the enemy-man-tha they betray no fear whatever but only curiosity upon the approach of a human being. In tho Lake ~'~'~ district, which ex- reuus to the headquarters of the Stony river, Kuskokwim region, it is said that the animals do not know the meaning of the crash of gunfire. It is an immense area, the Lake Clarke country, and it's few scattered in- habitants must travel about 250 miles south to reach Illiamna, the nearest trading post, or in a northerly direc- tion for hundreds of miles to the Kus- kokwim. John Bailey, fur buyer and trader, and resident of Seward, spent last year in the region and is going back soon. He is confident the country is absolutely virgin region for game, fur and for prospectors. Many have been heard to remark about what a fine country the Lake Clarke ctuntry is, but few have actually been there, he declares.
 To his lot has fallen the privilege of conducting the first big game hunt in that remote district for he and three young men from the east de- part from Seward on the s. s. Starr for Seldovia from which point they will take. a small boat across the h. let to Iliamna bay, thence overland to Iliamna lake, down which they will travel about 50 miles branching off north into the Newhalen river, up which they will pole for a distance of 40 miles into Big Lake Clarke. They will go to the head of the lake, ano- ther 50 miles, and hunt for brown bear and sheep on the east shore line. Then the party will strike out over the tundra for so miles for moose and caribou. It is expected the en- tire trip will occupy at least 60 days.
