Five months after this letter,
the Union secretary again received
a letter from Miss Corpuz, dated
March Is, 1855, acknowledging the
secretary's letter of Dec. 6, 1854
which carried a carbon copy of the
secretary's letter to Mrs. de Cas-
tro. Miss Corpuz' letter reads in
part as follows:
"Since it's quite a long time that

with a lawsuit. Mrs. de Castro
promptly took time to return Mr..

Spinster Sisters Secret Room Yields

The 100 year old, two story
dwelling in the center Of suburb
an Itaska was the home of Joseph

survivors of family that settled
Itasca when the region was virgin

The us. Department of Agri-
culture offers a new way to pre-
dict probable mosquito population
in Alaska. OSDA scientists base
their forecast upon the amount, of
water formed into pools after
spring thaws.
The scientists suggest this guide
for forecasting. Precipitation 10
percent above normal means a
large mosquito population on a
regional basis. If snow and ice
melt is 80 percent or more below
normal, Alaskans need not worry
about the mosquito population.
Spring thaWs with precipitation
between 80 percent below and 10
percent above normal, forecast
mosquito populations of impor-
lance on a local basis.

Veteran, Trapper

ANCHORAGE, R-Nine hun

And Hugh Scott did it.
The veteran Anchor Point trap
per was headed north with his dog
team atop the Anchor River ice,
100 miles southwest of here on the
Kenai Peninsula, when the two
year-ol moose snorted into view.
Evidently riled by the hard
crusted snow painfully cutting its
legs, the moose charged the dog
team, which fought back vicious
ly. Scott, unarmed, beat at the
animal with a chain. The moose
retreated, charged again to be met
by the slashing teeth of the hus-
kies and SCOTS failing chain.
One dog went down after being
kicked sharply in the head. An
other hoof slashed a second dog
across the face. Scott, desperate,
made a moose of the chain and
threw it over the bulls head.
Cinching it tight, he then pulled
the granting animal to a tree and
securely tied it.
He staked his injured but hos
tile dogs at distance, then tried
to unite the moose. Mr.. moose, his
legs failing wildly and his head
butting, kept Scott at a distance
SO the baffled trapper walked to
Anchor Point for help.
Four men came back with him
and helped unchain the animal.
Freed, it still wanted a fight and
charged the men. Beaten back
with the chain, it finally retreated
into the woods.
The malemutes are recovering.
And Scott has taken vow;
Never to go out on his trapline
again without a rifle.
"You know, that moose could
have been BIG" he said.
