TRUE BEAR STORE
J. L. Caldwell and Cl. 1). Hitchcock
arrived in Anchorage yesterday on
the steamer Capella and bring an in
teresting but truthful bear story,
which only goes to prove that not
only by music can the savage beast
be tamed but that the advancement
of civilization too has played its part
and the honor again goes to the rail
road builders.
In the way of a preface will say
that Mr. Caldwell is a prominent
business man of Seward who was
burned out at the time of the big
Seward fire last March and is in An
chorage and vicinity looking for a
business opening and all of the old
timers swear by his veracity as well
as the truthfulness of Mr. Hitchcock
who also belongs to the old regime.
The story as told by these two gen
tlemen Is to the effect that while en
route to Anchorage by the overland
trail they were asked to eat dinner
with a party of railroad surveyors
who were camped at the old mill
site on Virgin creek, two miles above
Glacier, and as the invitation was ex
tended in the spirit of the trail and
they too were hungry, they accepted.
While eating the first course of
beans and sour dough bread an un
invited but peaceful guest arrived in
the shape of a two-year-old black
bear; there was no special excite
ment caused by the bear's appear
ance; in fact he didn't wait for an
invitation but in his own language
and by signs let it be known that he
too was hungry. From the stand
point of generosity and safety first
the bear was fed, even from bread
to doughnuts. The bread was thrown
him from a conservatively safe dis
tance but it is an actual fact, it can
be substantiated, that the bear ate
the doughnuts from the hands or
one of the surveyors He seemed
perfectly safe, sane and satisfied and
as gentle as a malamute dog. Mr.
Caldwell said the bear hung around

the camp for several minutes and
showed no inclinations of leaving
until the party got up from dinner,
when he ran off into the woods. In
closing his remarks Mr. Caldwell,
with apologies to Service, quoted the
original lines:
! “Now these are the simple facts of
the case.
And I guess I ought to know;
The boys said the bear was hungry
for grub,
And I am not denying It was so.
I am not as wise as these writing
guys,
But simply between us though,
j The reason the bear showed peaceful
signs
Was on account of the heavy sour
dough.”
In addition to Messrs. Caldwell
and Hitchcock the following named
employes of the Alaska Engineering
i commission working in the survey
party at this point can verify the
above bear story and while it is un
I usual for a bear to reach this stage
of gentleness it is not unknown, as
many old-timers in this country,
know of similar cases where bruin
has shown feeling of companionship
but never before has a bear in his
native state been known to eat from
a man's hand: J. D. Meacham, I. C.
Starkey, C. F Stahl. Andrew Lar
son, Herman Ge.rhardus, Sr.. Her
man Gerhardus, Jr. and A1 Muir.
Mr. Caldwell will remain in An
chorage until tonight tonight, when
he. will take the Admiral Farragut to
Seward, but expects to return to An
chorage some time next month. He
says that Seward has made great
preparations for the Fourth of July
celebration and is expecting a large
number of visitors to witness its
elaborate program.

>---v
AT such a time as this, when we
feel the greatest need for
“ better international rela
tions, we must look to the women
to hold the nations together. The
natural tendency of women is to
conserve, not to destroy, and when
their voices, RAISED IN' UNISON,
CAN BE HEARD THEY WILL
SOUND FOR PEACE.
The woman who works for her
living in competition with men and
other women develops a viewpoint j
which is quite different from the
woman who lives a sheltered life in
the home.
And this viewpoint it is very nec
essary for any ,organization which
hopes to have a farreaehing pur- J
pose to possess, for she is in touch
with realities; she tries out in liv
ing what may be mere theory to
the woman of the leisure class.
No one type of woman can leg
islate for women of another class
any more than men can legislate
wisely and effectively for women and
children without at least taking the
women into consultation.
