What Was 1t?


l had a very sick white Wyan-
dotte hen 1 was doctoring. l went
to the hen house to see how she
was getting along and found her
squatted on the floor. AS I en-
tered, her head began to droop.
Down, down. down it went, until
her bill touched the floor. l could
see she was dying Suddenly, with
an effort, she got to her feet,
raised her head and looked up
ward. Then with staggering, wob-
bly, steps she ran forward flap
ping her wings rapidly, and fell
dead. I had the impression that
she was trying to take off into
the sky, and that she saw some
thing up there which was at
tracing her. There are stranger
things in heaven and earth than
are dreamt of in our psychology.

 FUR-BUYINC TRIP
Pioneer Dealer Covere d l2,000 Miles - Bought
 $60,000 Worth Pelts

When Charles Goldstein, pioneer Alaskan merchant and fur dealer. stepped from the gang plank of the Northwestern to the Juneau dock Sunday night, he completed fur buying trip of approximately 12,000 miles, most of which was covered by airplane
 On this far-flung buying trip MT. Goldstein bought furs in the Cook Inlet country, the Kuskokwim, at Eagle, up and down the Yukon, at Marshall, at Circle and also on Herschel Island, to the amount of $6O,00O
 Foxes Abundant
 Foxes were abunc.1nt this year, , MT. Goldstein said "Silvers, cross, reds, blues and whites were available in ample quantities, and good quan- titles and good quality found the traders and trappers were much pleased with the regulations that opened the trapping of marten, and also with the opening of certain areas for beaver which will greatly help both the native and white trappers."
 The mink catch is only about 20 percent of last year, according to the fur dealer. The trappers attrib- ute this to the fact that during the season low water and high ice pre- vailed and the mink travelled along the banks under the ice rather than their usual routes when the water is high and they are forced to go along the shores above the ice where the trap-lineS can be strung. Mir Goldstein stated further that this winter glare ice and lack of snow was making the mink catch small.
 Meets Pioneers At Mccarthy the Juneau merchant met two hardy pioneers whom he had not seen for forty years-Dan Spragues, 80 and William (BilD Stanten, 76, whom Dan insists or calling the kid" The two live in separate cabins, do little farming. fishing and trapping and despite their ages are getting along splen- didly.
