Milotie related that since leaving| his ! seenes, | Juneau last February he and wife had photographed people and animals on the Pribi loi Islands, the fur seal killing at St. Paul Island, primitive aboriz- mal villages at Hooper Bay in the Bering Sea, bear and salmon at Kcdiak, etc. He said that in get- ting the pictures he had ridden on tion known in Alaska from a trac- tor-pulled sled to a cannery tender.
