BROWN BEARS INCREASING
It’s good to hear an authority on wild game in Al
aska such as Charles Madsen, manager and chief field
guide of the Kodiak Guides Association, state that con
trary to the opinion of arm-chair experts in the States
that the famous brown bear of Alaska are being exter
minated, they are on the increase. Mr. Madsen and
members of his crew saw more than 90 of them in May
and June, a vastly greater number than ever seen be
fore during those months.
This report, substantiated by others from other sec
tions of the great Westward hunting areas where herds
have been glimpsed and photographs taken, will no
doubt be twisted about and distorted by alleged big
game conservatists who have for the last few years
been trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill with
respect to Kodiak brown bears.
A DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR
The only regrettable feature of the Fourth of July
program was the Jitney Dance held Friday evening,
many local citizens have informed The Gateway, which
was contended to have been one of the most disgraceful
public affairs ever to have been witnessed in the city.
The conduct, especially outside the hall, by alleged
drunks, was nauseating; obscene language seemed to be
the order of the e vening together with fights.
A more rigid surveillance must be kept on such
dances in the future or the death-knell of these affairs
will be sounded.
But what a wonderful comparison the Saturday
evening dance was. Never was a more enjoyable and
orderly public dance presented and the result was a
huge throng of people waxed merry until 3 o’clock
in the morning.
FREEDOM IN THE COUNTRY
The city is a maelstrom, the mad whirlpool of life;
bitter struggles and petty triumphs. The country, such
as Alaska, "beneath heaven’s blue vault, amid fragrant
lowlands, rippling brooks and livers, watching mists
creep around purple hills and vivid banners flung across
the sunset sky, is a place, where a man can feel that he
is really free; not a slave. No where in cities will yot
find individual freedom such as is expressed in th<
country, or such as may be found in small towns o!
Alaska where people from all stations of life will com*
mingle in healthy, homey fun.
In the warfare now going on in China, a multitude
of unarmed fanners were marched ahead of one of the
combatant forces to stop the bullets, and 10,000 wen
slain. Disregarding the inhumanity of the proceeding
it was a technical move of a very low order. The office]
who thought of it has about the skill of a corporal, com
pared with the old time Civil War raiders, on both sides
General Mosby, for instance, with a handful of men
could show up at unexpected places, keep a whole arm}
on an anxious seat, and disappear without the loss of i
man.
Friday and Saturday, July 3 and 4, were just tb
kind of summer days the Seward Post of the America]
Legion wanted for their successful presentation of th
two day Independence Day celebration.
Alaska isn’t a beggar at the public crib when statis
tics show the per capita purchase is $1,000.
If that lie detecting device is ever really perfecte
it will be a sad blow to fishermen and golfers.
