WIDE-EYED ESKIMOS
Rattlesnakes Get Play
In First Circus in Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska VP) The first circus in Alaska history gave
hundreds of wide-eyed little Eskimos their first rides on a merry-go-round
and their first glimpses of such strange creatures as
monkeys and an African sun bear.
A long caravan of brightly-painted trucks and trailers rolled
Into Anchorage after a d,uuu-
mile trip from Cutbank, Mont.
Pacific Northwest Shows, own
ed by John and Dolly Beck,
Oregon City, Ore., struck out for
the Yukon Territory and Alaska
in August.
The show carried 42 enter
tainers, six monkeys, three rat
tlesnakes, a spotted leopard, a
Mexican wildcat, a trained mule
act and the sun bear.
"My wife and I had been plan
ning this trip for three years,"
Beck said. "It'i sort of a vaca
tion for all dl us.
"We had a wonderful trip
north our only trouble was loss
of one small trailer when a
hitch broke and four blowouts."
Beck said when the show roll
ed into Whitehorse, Y.T., the
amazed citizens refused to let
them pass through until they
played an engagement.
"We made a five-day stand in
that little burg and packed the
tent every day," Beck said.
"Most of those people must have
seen the show every day."
Biggest attractions were the
rattlesnakes, Beck said. There
is no such think as a snake, even
of the garden variety, in the
Yukon or Alaska, and most
native-born northerners never
have seen one.
"A bunch of natives traveled
300 miles to Whitehorse to see
our show," Beck said. "We felt
kind of flattered until we dis
covered they came only to see
the snakes."
The three travel-weary rat
tlers died between Whitehorse
and Anchorage, but the other
animals seemed to enjoy the
trip, he said.
"If I had known what an at
traction the snakes are up here,
I would have brought a dozen,"
he said.
