Hunters-.pan take a tip from
W ilt Dixeri of Chiniak who inad
vertently built "a better mouse
tr ip,” and had a path beaten to
hi.idoor. This time it wasn’t mice,
nor was it people who beat the
path, as in the old saying. Two
1h- irs, attracted by the fish he had
laying on the ground, met their
Waterloo, as they were busy bury
ing them. That’s a lot easier way
to shoot a bear than climbing hills
and walking miles to do it.
*****
An incident that occurred some
years ago is brought to mind by
this story. Two friends of mine
were treed by a mother bear with
two cubs. Being without guns, they
had to devise means of outwitting
the bear, which consisted mostly

t
of waiting it out, while they sat
up in the trees. The bear crippled
one of the men, and he practically
had to be carried' about seven
miles from over in the Monasbka
Bay area. After it was all over,
one of men, vowing vengeance on
the bear, was going to tie a piece
of rope to a dead salmon, and
drag it over the same bear trail
on which they were attacked
Whether this plan was ever car
ried out is not known, but it seem
ed like a hard way to get even
with a bear. Anyway, the bear
was only protecting her young, a
natural instinct with either an ani
mal or a human.
Walking through the woods
trailing a dead salmon seemed
like a futile pastime, anyway—
even for vengeance. Sometimes, it
seenls, a human being can be
more ludicrous than an animal—
and twice as funny.

We could tell you a few more
stories about this same man. Me
showed a handkerchief full of
rocks with gold streaks running
through them, to a newcomer in
the territory. When asked where
he got them, he acted very cagey
at first and then said he found
them at Anton Larsens Bay. The
Cheechako, being something of a
metalurgist, became quite excited.
He took off a few days later, walk
ed all the way to the bay, spent all
night there, but didn’t find any
of the same rock. There was a good
reason for that. The rocks came
from around Juneau!

How would it feeL to win 56-1,000
on a TV show? Well, anyway, how
does it feel to be the sisier of a
contestant who comes up for that
amount on next Sunday’s TV
show? Just ask Louise Spencer.
She received a telegram that her
sister will appar on TV tomorrow
for the final round. The suggest
ion was made to listen in on the
program. But Louise asks: 'How? ’

S-O-O-E-E-E-E- .... Are there
any hog callers in Kodiak? Matan

enter a contest to be staged there.
We haven’t seen a porky on the
hoof for a long time let alone a
hog caller.
j,;The Mailboat Monitor, the pub
lication put out by the crew of
the M/V Expansion, is not satis
fied with a story of a flying saucer
seen at Kujulik Bay, but has an
artists conception of it also. This
phenomenon was seen by two
fishermen, Nick Shanigan of Chig
nik and his partner. It was first
seen to decend-/slowly, coming at
them. It came down from the top
of the mountaih and stopped about
one hundred feet above the water.
It started to move horizontally a
few hundred feet, then came at
them and stopped about a quarter
a mile away. It hovered over the
water for five or ten minutes,
then shot upwards at a terrific
speed.
Another "unheard of” incident
occurred in Alaskan waters this
monlh. Fishermen are reported to
have seen a herd of more than
2000 sea lions at Ugak Bay, located
on the northeast shore of Kodiak
Island. According to oldtimers, 20
to 40 of them is considered a herd.
Fishermen didn’t see many fish
this year, l et they are seeing
many other things, anyway.

One of the local fishermen wasn’t
about to see anything the other
day. He was in a place of amuse
ment either celebrating his prow
ess as a fisherman of drowning
