Merchant Has Display Os Pelts From Alaska

-I Jack Gordon, ownef of the «Western Auto associate store on North* Second street, is a man who sells .1 rifles and cartridges, amoiM many oth€\r things, yet at the same proves the results of straight shooting and gpqd hunting. “For he has displayed in the front window of the store different pelts of animals he shot in Alaska when stationed there as a field agent L for the department of the interior. “Hunting was wonderful there at that time,” Gordon will tell yon rhapsodically. “The army came in during the late thirties and early forties and almost ruined it, but they have it under control now.” Gordon was in this country s northernmost territory from 1931 through 1942 Tn charge of such related but divers things as education, recreation, 'social service and pensions as well as seeing- that l the natives were medically cared -for.

He says ’it’is “par excellence” and does not feel that by thus giving Alaska’s hunting and fishing the \ epitome in description overdoing It. “It’s as good if not better than lunting in Canada, and certainly better than anything in the United States," ha says. i J While in the government service Gordon was occupied with other thlpgs besides hunting. It was to him then the same as it is to any sportsman: something you did as recreation when you could find the time.

Alaska, he feels, is a place r with a future. A place that shoul4 no ‘ be encumbered t»y government restrictions, and where/ habitation arid free enterprise should be unrestrained. • ' ‘ j / The only unlimited things in the territory, he believes, are Its vast resources and opportunities.

The time was recently reduced to one year for veterans. A \ Agriculture, Gordon is certain, could be exploited \ into a major .basiness for the soil is rich and though the growing season is short, is it nevertheless abundant. “With the longer hours of sun each dpy, it doesn’t take as long to grow things there and the growth is fabulous”’ % He told of the great sizes Pf produce and the versatility of the soil, which he thinks esn support 12 million people. At legst ths’; is the figure he set for Alaska basing it on the fact that Norway, Sweden and Denmark are in the same latitude supporting that many in a like area, and doing it handily, too. But the hunting. That is “par excellence” x even though the interior department has been required to put seasons on hunting to dispel promiscuous- slaying of animals. But before then, Gordon shot many an animal. And among those killed are pelts he has on display at his store. Bearskins, timber wolves, eight feet long, polar bear cub

pelts. H And flanking these are a couple of totem pbles. Totem poles, they t-ay, tell simply a story. In this case they only embellish it.

The three U. S. Army men parachuted down in north Italy to arrange for delivery of the arms. The lieutenant, says the Defense department, wanted to favor the Communists. Holohan wanted to wait to make sure of their intentions. So he was shot, his body dumped into a lake. The body was' six years later. But now th* Army cannot prosecute and neither tan U.
