Alaska Public Land
Homesite Law May
Be Passed
4
WASHINGTON, July 9—<A*)—
If President Truman approves,
homesites may be purchased on
public lands in Alaska. The House
has completed the Congressional
action on the measure extending
the five acre homesite law to the
Territory and the bill has been
sent to the Whitehouse.
The homesite law heretofore
applied only to continental United
States has been amended to also
permit purchase by Interior de
parment employees stationed in
Alaska, and also permits acquisi
tion of sites for camp convalscent,
and business recreational pur
poses.
Senator Magnuson- said the gov
ernment agencies will be called
upon for a very small part of the
financing necessary to explore the
fishing possibilities of the Bering
Sea. Magnuson said he learned, in
talking to representatives of the
War Foods Administration and
Defense Plant Corporation that
most of the two million dollar cost
of the project will be supplied by
private capital. j*
He told a reporter that indicated
how well private fishing interests j
think of the economic possibilities ij
of the fishing. 2

ANDREW PETERSEN
TELLS UNUSUAL
BEAR STORY 1
I
Andrew Petersen, homesteader
and trapper at Salmon Lake re
ports an unusual bear story.
While traveling with his dog
team in that district he caught up
with three bear cubs whose
mother he had killed some time
before. The dogs became very ex
cited and downed one cub and be
came so tangled up with it that
he was unable to shoot without en
dangering the dogs. The second
cub was fired upon and was hit
three times in the rump but was
not injured apparently as it mere
ly turned around and rubbed that
portion of its anatomy with its
front paw as if it has been stung
by an extra powerful mosquito.
Eventually all three bears ambled
away without any of the dogs be
ing injured, although they w*re
thoroughly tangled up.
The lack of viciousness on the
part of the bears was a surprise to
Mr. Petersen, who expected to be
attacked when his gun was empty.
Did he kiss me?
I didn’t have enough pucker left
to whistle for a policeman!
