PRSECBW L S ' HUNTERS BACK FROM KODIAK BRING TWO BROWNIES - APIECE “We saw 16 brown bear ond got four of them, two each,” said Col. 1J. E. Morrison, of Joliet., I11,, aboard | the steamer Alaska in port Tast Sat- urday evening, southbound. Col. Morrison, accompanied by |F. W. Woodruff, also of Joliet, is returning to the States after a suc- cessful hunt on Kodiak Island, for | the past several weeks. “There is not much more to our trip except that we had a mighty fine time, and I think I will come back again next year after moose and sheep in the Rainy Pass district,” he said. This was the first time in Alnska for either Col. Morrison or Mr.! ‘Woodruff, although the latter huut-‘ ed moose in Northern Saskatchewan. “The principal thing that struck us/ about this great Territory,” snid‘ Col. Morrison, “is the immense dis-! tances. People in our part of the| - 'States have no idea how big this country is.” “Perhaps the most novel part o{ our trip, at least to us,” added the| Colonel, “was bouncing and duck- ing across the Gulf on the little; Curacao.” Col. Morrison gave all! credit for the success of the huntj to their guide, Charlie Madsen, of the Kodiak Guides, declaring that all arrangements were ideal.

The storm area showed no indications at 4 d.n. of moving, although it is quite probable that it will move eastward. High pressure prevailed from Barrow southeastward to the Rocky Moun- tain States also throughout the West Coast States. This general pres- sure distribution has been attended by precipitation along the coastal regions from the Aleutians to Juneau; also over most of the interior and western portions of Alaska. Cald weather prevailed last night over the MacKenzie Valley, a temperature of 30 below having been reported at Aklavik.
