council ncr
IS HELD OVER UNTIL
. mm MEETING
A mass of general business was
expeditely transacted at Monday ]
evening’s session of the City Coun
cil, presided over by Mayor D. C.
Brownell, five councilmen and
City Attorney L. V. Ray present.
There were also a number of
spectators in attendance.
In their order of business the j
following items were brought up: j
Under suspension of rules the f
salary ordinance fixing the rate
of compensation for municipal of
fices, the same as in previous
years, was passed. Also, a resolu
tion combining the offices of Chief
of the Fire Department and Chief
of Police, and the three munici
pal offices of the City Clerk.
The election of municipal ap
Tpointments was held over to the
next meetnig as was also that of
filling vacancy on the Council;
the latter, pending legal advice
particularly as to the legality of
immediate appointment as against
a time limit before said office
may be filled.
The finance committee reported
negotiating a loan of $5,000.
The school committee reported
they had inspected the school
. building and found a section of
the northwest portion either set
tling or warping. The matter will
be taken up with the contractor.
The street committee* reported
Chief Keilcheski carrying forward
necessary work and that Andy
Novak had repaired a crossing
and part of the road leading to
the San Juan dock, without
charge. That all work being per
formed is gratis to the city owing
to lack of funds in the treasury
and strict economy which must
be practiced throughout the year.
Mayor Brownell appointed two
new committees, Public Health
and Public Protection, consisting
of Councilmen Meyers, chairman,
and Councilman Roberts. The^tem
porary committee on Finance and
Claims, Councilman Meyers, chair

mainder are held over pending

man’s chair.

tion committee was instructed to
bring in a report to the next meet
ing covering the hospital situation.
The committee will wait upon Su
perintendent Geisbeck and Dr.
Haverstock in the matter and if
convenient for Dr. Haverstock,
for him to attend the next meet
ing of the council.

ing will be published verbatim

j
Robert Frothingham and the
editor of Outdoor Life, those stal
| wart defenders of Alaska brown
bear, both of whom have bitterly
assailed The Gateway for its at
titude toward the bruins, should
ask Mike Kalmakoff of Kanatak,
in Seward at the present time,
what he thinks about bear.
Kalmakoff can tell them first
hand; he should be able for upon
his body are myriad scars, mute
i evidence of his encounter with j
lone last fall, near Kanatak.
i Frothingham and Outdoor Life
1 would have the public know that
Alaska browns are docile; that
they are not harmful and, if
brought up properly, and not j
j tormented by children, will eat
from one’s hand.
j !
But that isn’t the picture paint
ed by Mike who is under treat
ment at the Seward General Hos
pital; his right arm wont func
tion right even though several I
months have passed since Mr. j
Bear playfully jumped out of the
brush and gently bit out chunks
from Kalmakoff’s chest, arms and
the tail end of his spine. The bear
played too rough for three days
thereafter it was a question
whether Mike would survive. His
youth and vitality probably de
cided the matter.
Kalmakoff and his partner were
hunting, tis true, but had not
yet reached the hunting grounds
and had not fired a shot, when
unexpectedly this bear rushed
at them. They had no previous
glimpse of him. Mike’s gun was
not even loaded. But this he en
deavored to do pronto but in the
excitement, jammed the cart
ridge; then the bear was on him!
Instinctively Mike crossed his
arms across his chest as the bear
j lunged at him with jaws spread
j wide. In Mike’s right hand he still
| hung on to the rifle and fortun
| ate that he did for his right, chest
and' rifle were all bit deeply into.
Next came a terrific swipe on the
back of the head hurling him
to the ground; another bite out
the pants and the brownie turned
land made off.
i
| Mike’s partner kept circling
| the two but could not fire for fear
of shooting Mike.
H. N. Evans, big fur dealer and
trader of the Westward country,
who also is in the city, is of the
opinion this bear was the identi
cal one which killed the native
boy near Kanatak last fall while
the lad was standing beside a riv
er, fishing. The lad had no gun
and was undoubtedly unaware of
the bear’s presence. He lived two
of three days after.
Westward folk believe if one of
these bears took one bite out of
the rear extremities of Frothing
ham and Outdoor Life editor, they
too, would howl like coyotes.
