BEAR HT (MIKA
CHEHTES CQNSTEBN9TI0N
From Chatanika comes the story
of a black bear that roamed at
^ will through the townsite and fell
prey to a bullet after causing an
unprecedented acceleration in the
heartbeats of residents of the set
* tlement, according to the Fair
banks News-Miner.
The story, as told here, is that
the bear started its gambols- at
the new school teacher’s residence.
While she remained in her securely
bolted home the bear entered the
cache where he remained until he
had eaten every egg in the place
and divers other articles of food.
His march then led him to the
townsite proper. It is said he en
tered the F. E. Co. machine shop,
climbed up on a bench and sent
the tools clattering to the floor.
From there he went to the various
cabins.
Hearing the noise, Larry Doheny
is said to have gone out clad in!
a bathrobe to investigate. Eye
witnesses report the bear did not
budge but Mr. Doheny disappeared
as if wafted away on a magician’s
carpet. Where he went, no one
was able to say but they were
firm in declaring he was and then
he wasn’t.
The bear’s frolic was finally cut
short by a bullet from a gun fired
by Mr. Matson and life in the
townsite is now at a normal basis
again but everyone is keeping a
weather eye out for bears now.

LOOKING OVER HIS BUY
! Chas. Goodell, prominent Cor
dova business man and lumber
baron of that area of Alaska, the '
man who purchased the barge Law
rence last winter from the Alaska
Railroad and who is now about
ready to put it into use, will remain
in the city for the week returning
to Cordova on the next steamer.
During his stay Mr. Goodell is a
guest at the Van Gilder Hotel.
WILL ARRIVE SOON
Mr. and Mrs. George Gullafson j
and children of Latouche, who havj
long planned to move to Seward so
that their children may attend
school this winter, will probably ar
rive on one of the next steamers
from Cordova. Since the Latouche
mine was abandoned and steam
ships ceased to make that a regu
lar port of call, it now becomes ne
cessary to await a freighter, thence
to Cordova and back to Sewaro.

500-MILE MR SPEED
FOUND HIGH OVER KUSM
Fourteen miles above the wea
ther bureau station at Fairbanks,
a small hydrogen-filled pilot bal
loon was observed moving at a
speed of 574 miles an hour.
The perfectly clear air enabled
observers to keep the balloon in
sight, through powerful glasses,
for a distance of 40 miles. Accord
ing to reports, this sounding of
the upper air currents establishes
a new record for altitude. As the
pilot balloon ascended it found
25-mile-an-hour wind currents at
the seven-mile level.
Two hours after its release, the
balloon had reached an altitude
of 14 miles, at which time its ve
locity was checked by means of
the special scales and equipment
for the weather bureau.
