big beaver catch along
YUKON, SAYS GAME. WARDEN
An exceptionall', largo '•arch of
beaver along the VuKon vivfr is re
ported by Game Warden Frank Du
Fresne, who returned to Fairbanks!
recently after more than a month’s
cruise on the Alaska Game Commis
sion .launch Beaver, says the . Fair
banks News-Miner. He was accom-J
panied by Tom Long-, w hp. assisted :
him in sealing beaver skins.
The catch was declared tq he even (
larger than lijst year, when almost a
record number .pf pelts were taken.
This is accounted for in part, Mr. Du
fresne explained, by the fact that
more trappers went into the field this
year because henceforth the season1
will he closed for an indefinite period.
Along, .the Novikaket river, where
natives from Kolyines and.-.Ruby and1
other towns Had_ gathered, to trap, the
Beaver cruised about, four weeks. V p
proximately 1,100 pelts were , taken
by natives in that district, it wag saidt
By sealing the skins a better idea of
the catch for each district was ob
tained and the natives were given a;
chance to become acquainted w’ith [
provisions, of the law. .. This plan was
followed with success last year. Only
minor violations- of the law were ’
found.
With higher p.rices prevailing forj
beaver than in 1027 natives are pros-;.;
perous, Mr. DDufresne said,_ and “all j
are buying gas engines and phono-,
graphs.” A big potlatch is now being
held at Kokrines, which, is heing par
ticipated in by Indians as far up ,the_
river as Tanana. The potlatch was
made possible by the good beavpr
catch.

A MINER DID W
Oyster cocktail^, originated in San
Francisco about !8«6. One day in one
of those rustic restaurants, gold dig
gers’ rendezvous on the Barboary
coast, a husky miner was welcomed
as a rude guest to the rude joint. He
orderedan old-fashioned whisky cock
tail and a plate of California raw.
After drinking the whisky cocktail
the hungry guest, without more ado,
placed the little California raw oys
ters in the same glass with some to
mato catsup, Worcester and pepper
sauce, and promptly disposed of the
appetizing repast.
The restaurant keeper looked or)
with great astonishment, then asked:
"What do you call it?” And the
miner, with great gusto, replied:
“Oyster cocktail.”
Next day without delay the keeper
wrote on the bar mirror: “Oyster
Cocktail; Four Bits Per Glass.”
In a few days every joint on the
Carbary Coast began to serve oyster
cocktails. Then gradually the best
hotels and cafes in San Francisco got
the idea and there appeared on their
menus not only oyster cocktails, but
different kinds of sea ..food cocktails
as well.—Stewards’ Magazine.
