• BEAR STORIES
GALORE FROM
THE INTERIOR
(From McCarthy News)
W. H. Slimpert returned to town on
Tuesday after a two months trip into
fhe hills, principally in the neighbor
hood of the head of the Chitina. He
4 has secured one of the finest speci
mens of brown bear ever shot in this
section. The skin measures seven
feet, six inches long and five feet
eight inches wide. Camped on the
Chitina bar, Bill and his partner saw
Mr. Bear walking along not fifty
yards from them, it took five 3hots
before Bruin was a dead one. The
skull, teeth and claws are all in excel
lent condition and it will make a very
handsome specimen when mounted.
M Clifford Cayouette killed a black
bear near his tent on Copper creek
where he is doing assessment work,
returning after three days absence
he found his tent broken into and a
large quantity of provisions missing,
including pillows and clothing, the
bear knew howr to provide himself
with the essentials.
Cliff followed his trail and found
parages spilt all along the wray. He
returned for his rifle, and by that
time the bear, with a “whoof” was on
his way back for eggs and potatoes.
Three shots from “Betsy” ended
Bruin’s career, but he furnished a
fine dinner for a. number of Cliff’s
friends at his camp. Warren Nelson
skinned and carved the animal.

Mrs. Hubrick w^as initiated into a
midnight tramp after a bear a short
time ago, a young black one having
been seen near Clear creek. Cap got
it the first shot and also wrounded
a larger one which owing to the un
certain light they were unable to se
cure. Mrs. Hubrick intends to get
the next one herself, as she says it is
as easy as catching fish in McCarthy
creek.

BOOTLEGGERS
IN GASOLENE
LATEST THING
SEATTLE, July 22 (by Associated
Press).—Gasolene “bootleggers,” who
are obtaining large quantities of gaso
line and retailing it at high prices,
are beng sought by Seattle police.
Most of the “bootleggers,” as the offi
cers term them, are truck drivers,
who, under oil company rules, can ob
tain more gasoline than drivers of
pleasure cars. The truck men, it is
alleged, sell their gasoline to the pleas
ure car drivers at big profits during
the gasoline shortage.
WOULD ERADICATE
COCKNEY DIALECT
LONDON, July 22 (by Associated
Press).—London school teachers have
begun a campaign to eradicate the
Cockney dialet, which they character
ize as a “disease of language,” caused
by incorrect breathing and by im
proper voice instruction. A number
of teachers in secondary schools de
clare elementary teachers themselves
often employ the Cockney, pronounc
ing such words as “paid” as if both
the vowels were “i” and explaining
the difference by saying the “i” should
have a dot.
The teachers made no plans to carry
the reform to the Cockney adults out
side the schools.
JAPS KEEP DOCTOR ON
TRAINS OUT OF TOKIO
TOKIO, July 22 (by Associated
Press).—Japan will take a progressive
step by maintaining a doctor and
proper medical facilities on all the
principal trains leaving Tokio.
“This plan has been contemplated
for nearly six years,” said Mr. Mom
ose, chief of the sanitation section i:
the railway department, “but has so
far been neglected for want of neces
sary funds. Judging from past ex
periences, patients found in trains
bound on long journeys often number
above forty and some are frequently
in such condition as to require imme
diate medical assistance.”
