BEAR PROBLEM
H. S. ABBERT, FORMERLY OF
BOSTON IN ALASKA FOR
21 YEARS
j Armed with some Ditter statis
tics and a whole fund of opti
mism, H. S- Abbert, the biggest
stock-raiser on Kodiak, is ven
turing forth to lay the problem
! against bear on Kodiak in the
highest councils of the nation. ;
! The overlord of several hundred l
j head of sheep and cattle thinks
I it is high time to find out wheth
er livestock or bear are* to be
| protected on Kodiak,
j “My losses have gone into the ■
; thousands and a big, yearling
j bear almost got me last sum
| mer,” said Abbert, who is headed
to his home in Boston, with Mrs.
Abbert, who is president of the
Alaska Federation of Women’s
Clubs. The two will direct New
i England's attention to the fact j
| that Kodiak should not be con
| sidered by game hunters as a
private reserve for bear shoot
| ing but as the home of many
i future cattle and sheep raisers.

"i nope I’m not opimated about
this thing,” Mr. Abbert said yes
terday, “but I think that cattle
and sheep on Kodiak are more
valuable than bear, brown, black
or yellow. I can not see much
I reason for bear anyway, but if
the fellows from Outside want
to hunt them let them come to
Kodiak any day in the year, and
if they don’t find enough of
them on the island let them go
to the mainland where they will
find pelts big enough to roof a
tepee. The idea of protecting a
game destroyer, a fish eater, a
general wrecker • and a menace
to human life, is quite beyond
me,
“Kodiak Island offers every
thing for the stockraiser. Food
and range in plenty with an
equitable climate. There are pos
sibilities for a thousand home
seekers. But the government says
we must protect the bear. Now
why? Can you answer that,—
Why?”
The Abbert ranch, despite the
inroads of the bear, turns out
a grade of mutton and beef that
is becoming eagerly sought thru
Central Alaska because of its ex
cellent flavor. There is a tang
to it quite unknown in the Out
side product.
“Uncle Sam gave us the priv
ilege of homesteading this fron
tier.” he continued, “and the
presumption was that we could
i aise livestock on that acreage.
But Uuncle Sam actually pro
tects the bear that kill our live
stock. Now why does he protect
that bear when inviting us to
establish homes and families?
Can you find any satisfactory
answer to that? After 21 years
of frying to raise stock in Alaska
I’ll still be double-blessed and
dadblessed if I can find it either.”
In closing Mr. Abbert stated
the residents of the Westward
appieciated highly and are very
grateful for the consistent action
taken in their behalf by the Gate
way, adding that nothing but the
kindliness of feeling exists among
them for the citizens of Seward,
and that he, personally, is happy
to deliver this message to the
town of Seward.
