MEDICOS ARE RIVALS IN
BIG GAME HUNTING
Under the captions of “Alaskan
Kills Bear 12 Feet Long,” “News Item
Added to Cordova Feud,” and “Doc
tor Boasts Large Gain on Rival
Hunter,” the San Francisco Chroni
cle of Sunday, September 21 contains
the following story of local color, to
gether with a cut of the pelt of the
brown bear in question:
“Cordova, Alaska, population 400
in winter and 2,000 in summer, which
boasts of being the ore-shipping cen
ter of Alaska and of being the port
where the ships to the Outside stay
the longest when they put in every
eight days, finally considers as settled
a long feud between the two medical
men of the community.
“Since the days of the Klondike the
medicos of Cordova, Dr. W. W. Coun
cil and Dr. W. H. Chase, have been
rivals, not so much in the practice of
their profession as in the gathering
of bear pelts.
“By this time each has bagged
enough pelts, so Cordova people say,
to pave a block of Market street.
And each time one gets one bigger
than usual he throws out his chest
and considers himself the champion
bear hunter of the community.
“But the championship seems to
have been settled when Dr. Chase re
cently bagged a browm bear measur
ing a trifle more than twelve feet
from tail to snout. Three shots
brought it down.
“A picture of the trophy and de
tails of the event have just reached
Mark C. Thompson, local hotel man,
who formerly lived in Cordova. At
the end of his letter describing the
giant bear Dr. Chase takes this fling
at his old rival:
“ ‘What do you think of this daddy
of Council’s cubs?”’
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.
