WHO'S GOT A HARD JOB {?

Ever since have been able to spit over the top Of spttoon I've heard stories about travelling men, To my young imagination they had the sotes snap They knew all the newest stores knew all the classiest gals in each town called the conductor by his first and could converse easily with the barenders They handed out fat looking cigars with gold bands em and almost invar aby had the best in the best hotel in town with hot and cold running water.
 Now since have reached mans estate and have watched the travelling doing their stuff in Alaska know all them things aint They ant any where The only thing they've got left is the cigar and they're keeping that for themselves.
 We are compelled to use of these Alaskan Knights of the Grip as an example to bring clearer just what driving at Captain Heine Berger told about the recent trip Jack Tritt took with him will take 1t out on Jack
 Jacks good scout though he does represent
 clothing house in San Francisco and Is trying to talk these merchants up here into big and little orders He has eight trunks big the extinct Alaska masodon and his stuff must be good because the derrick groaned every time they put hook in the sling.
 Jack had to get those trunks unloaded at Kodiak and SeldOva whether the tide 30 feet in the air right down to the ground Then he had to find someone to take them somewhere to spread them out Then he had to scout around and get the to and look his goods Then he had pack up and get those mastodonc trunks back aboard And that's the way she goes for all of these Alaskan saesmen.
 So next time when of these lads look you in the eye slip you fountain pen for you to sign your John Hancock the old dotted ne when you gaze back don't fool yourself with the idea you would like to be travel ing salesman because they have such good time and as free spring.
 You're all wet; it's just sprngtime, brother

EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD
 SHOW AT LIBERTY

Among the many Peter B. Kyne stories shown at the Liberty lately the one last night, The Understand ing Heart" iis about the best, and surely the most unusual, in that it contained number of play elements that are not ordinarily found in one feature. The most Imaginable comedy was furnished by the old sheriff, and his crony. This is the first time Seward has seen this pair and they are good.
 The heavy tragedy element was the killing, in self-defense of man who was despoiling anotherrs home The youthful love at first sight, moon gazing romance was portrayed by the heroine, Joan Crawford. The dqra- devil thrills are furnished by the air plane rescue, and the parachute leap from the cliff during the forest fire.
 The educational and duty element is the fine showing of the forestry service in action Tonight is your last chance to see this 100 percent production.

IN AIR FOR WEEKS

The airship has a reserve radio with an accumulator which can be used even though the motors are not oper- ating. This fact served to make the airship's long silence incomprehensi ble.
 Taking into consideration the state of the weather, continuing winds, led to the belief the Italia has made for the Siberian coast after finding ef- forts to reach .Spitzbergen fruit.ess
 The Italia carried supply of gaso- line sufficient to last until 4 a. m. to. day but the vessel will be able to keep in the air for weeks. Should the diri- gible be down on the Arctic wastes it carries equipment to enable the crew of 16, including Mobile, to fight their way toward safety. This equip. ment includes skis, sledges, Can:- dian snow shoes and sleeping sacks of reindeer skins.

SPORTSMAN FROM
 SAN PEDRO HAS
 FINE BEAR HUNT
PROMINENT SAN PEDRO RES DENT HAS GREAT BEAR
 HUNT WESTWARD

Loud in his praise Of his fine big game hunt to the Westward, and of the personnel of the Alaska Guides W. A. Spickler, of San Pedro. returned to Seward last night, aboard the M. s. Discoverer, Capt. H. Berger.
 MT. spickler gives the following interesting and thrilling account of his adventure:
 "We left your fair city (Seward) on April 30 on the staunch little boat Discoverer for Kodiak TslandI our ob- feet was a brown bear hunt. The trip was under the supervision of the Alaska Guides, Inc, who had planned the trip to the minuteness detail and spared no expense to make it a sue cess.
 "They furnished Al Blair. as guide Earl Olmsted as packer, and Bob Evans as cook and housekeeper. We ran into very bad weather on the is- land and from this point of view we were handicapped; but notwithstand ing that man Blair stalked enough bear for me (will not say how many) so that I got the limit of three; one of them an eight footer, another nine footer and the third one, 10 feet in length. All of them were well furred and in the pink of condition. we found very young bear cub that was almost starved and aban doned by it's mother which was inn mediately named Miss Kodiak and from the time of her appearance in camp she was the life of the party, never tiring of play and would fol- low one around like a little dog and it was with regret that I had to leave the little beggar.
 This hunt was new and novel to me; most places they bring in their trophies by pack horse but here the packer would tie the pelt and skull, about 100 pounds, on a pack board and carry it on his back some five or six miles or whatever the distance happened to be from camp.
 Bob Evans used the Welsh battle cry to awaken us for breakfast which was around 4 a. m. and to me it sounded like 'Ru Huff! Ru luff!' with the accent on the 'Ro! Olmsted claimed if one could stand this ordeal and not get nervous he need not be afraid of any brownie that ever roam ed the gray hills of old Kodiak.
 "The last bear, a fine specimen, after being severely wounded gave us
