Large Wolverine Caught
 By George Peterson
(By Special Correspondent


 George Peterson recently caught a large wolverine while visiting his traps on the northwest corner of Uni mak Island. George and his brother Henry have cabin near the Boring Sea side where they have been trap ping for several years. This animal was caught by two toes in a number two fox trap so probably entered the trap only few moments before Pet erson discovered it. He took no chan ces in trying to club it but shot from a distance. The skin is very dark in color and measures five feet from nose to tip of tail. The trappers are very much indebted to Peterson for killing this savage and destructive animal. There have been two of these wolver- ines in this vicinity and have been robbing traps and killing considerable wild game, eating foxes, mink and other animals that are caught in the traps. It is thought that they cross ed the ice from the mainland last winter. The last wolverine was caught by Wma Gardner in 1917 and the trap pers are very anxious to rid the is- land of the one remaining. Their tracks are very similar to those of large bear.

PATHE CAMERA MAN ON JOB WITH
 WILKINS PARTY
WILL E. HUDSON, ONE OF THE FACE" PHOTOGRAPHERS OF
 FAMOUS SERVICE

w. E. Hudson, ace Pathe News man, is no stranger in Alaska by long shot. He returned to Seward Sunday, for about the 'steenth time, with the Wilkins party, and after doing ''his stuff" on the dock while the big Folk ker planes were being unloaded, he left yesterday morning, bound for Fairbank where he hopes to snare a number of exclusive "shots" of the planes during the tests. He does not anticipate, or want to go, to Barrow or the North Pole, so it is expected he will return to Seward within the next few weeks, homeward bound to his Se- attle headquarters.
 His last trip to Seward was made at the time the Round-the-World fly CT made their landing here, at which time he accompanied the aviators to the tip of the Aleutian Islands. Pre- vious to that he had accompanied Louis Lane, famous Arctic navigator, toward Banks Island. That was in 1913. They did not reach Banks Is- land so Hudson was landed ashore and he struck out for distance of 100 miles along the Arctic coast, in order to secure photographs of the Stefan sen expedition. Later he mushed into Fairbanks, from where he left for the States.
 Local patrons have many times viewed his pictures at the Liberty the- ater, the most recent being a few days ago when he was seen acqua- blaming at Ocean Park, Oregon. The stunt exhibited in that Pathe film showed a young girl and her father displaying their expertness on surf board lowed behind a fast running launch. One of the last scenes was that of Hudson, himself, out on the board, and though he stated otherwise to The Gateway reporter, it looked FC1y muCA~ 1lhSs lC Udo dUOQL u IohC a header a couple of times.
 MT. Hudson said he later received a letter and a check from the New York office to the effect that if he had fallen in the amount of his check would have been raised at least $50. When asked about the movie picture camera that he held firmly clasped in his hands, he was more or less reti- cent, so it is taken for grated he did not risk a thousand dollar in the clever stunt.

SUPER-FEATURE-LIBERTY

Rudolph Valentino's new Paramount picture, "A Sainted Devil" from the story, Ropes End" by Rex Beach, is the feature all this week at the Lii berty theater. Nita Naldi, Helen D. Algy, Dagmar Godowsky, Louise Lag range, George Seigman are few of the big names which appear in the powerful supporting cast of this pro- ductio11-a story laid in the Argentine which tells of the countrywide search of a young Spaniard of wealthy par ents for his convent-bred bride who is stolen from him on their wedding nite by bandits.
 Here's a picture combining all the gorgeousness of Monsieur Beau caire" and all the action of "Blood and Sand" into one great story. "A Sainted Devil'' is to our mind the greatest Valentino production of them all, by far.

L.L. BALES GOES
 TO SAN DIEGO.
 RETURNSSPRING

L. l.. Bales, explorer, dog musher and collector of curios, who return ed to Seward on this trip of the Starr left on the Victoria yesterday on his way to San Diego, Calif., where he will remain until spring Mr. Bales has been at Bales Landing in Stepovak Bay which is about sixty miles up the mainland of the Alaska Peninsula from Unga. This is one of the widest spots in Alaska and Mr. Bales states that he was glad to get that far from civilization which he has always found irksome. Seven years ago he located in this spot and built cabin and en- gagged in hunting all sorts of speci- mems and curios which he sold to mu- seums, zoos and parks but was called away and remained in the states for seven years. MT. Bales, who is sev- enty-three years of age but still in the best of health, felt the call of the wild
 
 to his former haunts with a grubstake to continue his work expecting to be joined by partner the following month with large boat with plenty of equipment and supplies. He made land him at his place in Stepovak Bay and was landed on the beach with his supplies the middle of June. MT. Bales found no trace of his cabin or equipment which he had left seven years before and had been carried away by unknown parties. His part ner never came and he built another cabin and carried on his work but was very badly handicapped through lack of supplies but gathered a great many specimens which he was unable to bring back with him this trip. He had no traps but caught quite few foxes and smaller animals by means of a deadfall Since he has been in this place he has met no one but a band of natives from Perryville who were on a hunting expedition He returned with these natives in their boat to Perryville where he caught the Starr. He will go to San Diego and return early next summer with a full equipment and continue the work alone without depending on anyone else.
 MT. Bales has lived in Alaska for many years and at one time held a private contract to deliver mail be- tween Nome and Iliamna Bay and was considered the fastest and most sue cessful dog musher at that time and had many thrilling adventures along this route at the time of the gold rush in 1903 when the third beach line was discovered in Nome. He was offered large sums to deliver mail for private concerns in record time. Later he was employed by the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce to explore the Coun- try between Nome and Iliamna Bay and was the first to survey the head waters of the Kuskokwim River. He was also employed as guide and pilot for various enterprises in that section of country. which was uncharted and unknown at that time.

holdings of Secretary Mellon and his

Company of America ARE far from

company" the department of justice
holds in it's final report on it's investi-
cation as to whether the company has
violated federal court DEGREES.
AN examination of the stock rec
ords of the company disclosed that the
stock holdings of A. w. Mellon do not
constitute CONTROL moreover. that
the combined holdings of A. w. Mellon
and his brother, r. B. Mellon, are far
from sufficient to constitute control
of the company" says William r. Be-
han, a special assistant to the attor-
ney general, who inquired into that
matter,
1T has been stated many times that
A. w. Mellon supplied organic capital
for the company. Such is not fact.
The records shows that his first con-
nection with the company was nearly
two years after it's formation, when
he acquired co shares.

to rest in the Hall estate, of which
