This slimmer was reported from
F- ?e more of the beasts in the im
m'diale vicinity of the cannery than
\v s ever seen before. They were
so numerous that the women dared
n t go out picking berrh s; the chil

t! ey saw in the stream. One of the
men in the cannery got up one early
morning and killed two bear which

the mail. It mattered not that they
wore out of their natural habitat

grizzly pests that stick their hides
