Now they are feeling the pinch of hard times themselves, and aithough they were willing to donate again, it was felt that the sacrifice was| too much to accept. The small| sum being paid per head will be of so material benefit, it was said. 0 The expenses incurred, including cost of deer, will be divided in three equal parts. The Territory will defray one-third of the cost, the municipalities receiving the animals one-third, and the Office | of Indian Affairs will contribute | the transportation which amount to one-third. 0ld Harbor Gets Herd The 40 live deer to be brought south by the Boxer will be landed at Old Harbor, on the south end of Kodiak Island where the resi- dents are said to be facing a ser- jous food shortage during the Win- ter months. Another herd will be driven to Hooper Bay by . the Reindeer Administration. Both will| be used for necessary immediate relief and for building up com- munity herds for the future.

D. Bowen. Pedestrians who have reported BROWNIE IN PLACE OF DESIRED DEER Deer hunters, six strong, who spent the weck end on Admiralty Island returned minus the deer, but with one brown bear instead. Almost anyone would agree that it is a fair substitute though perhaps not so practical of satis- fying. Frank Haller, Ernie Martin, Jo Short, Arthur Judson, George Benson and Art Burke, left on Saturday aboard the motor boat Rosita, which belongs to Mr. Mar-/ tin, for Point Glass, just below; Twin Point, on Admiralty Island,; to enjoy a deer hunt. While they: missed the deer, they ran into four big brownies, and got one. The big fellows chased Joe Short and Ernie Martin up a tree, which the hunters insist wasn't half high enough, though by measurement they were found to be 50 feet from the ground. + The party returned to town ear- ly Sunday morning with their tro- phy. | —— e Advertisements spread world products before you. ceeing the big animal, say that he has been observed near the trestle and between the two bridges on the road at different times, stand- ing close by the roadside. On cach occasion he has quietly slip- ped back into the brush before hunters have been able to get a shot at him, Mr. Bowen declares. Hikers who are unarmed, would do well to be careful or to pick other places to walk, until the Brownie is accounted for, accord- ing to Mr. Bowen. - e——— MR. AND MRS. J. J.

Leach, of London, England, and East Africa. With Mrs. Pat Brewster, of Banff, the couple were en route to the Mount Assiniboine Alpine camp when, turning a sharp corner of Citadel Mountain, on the Great they were horrified to see a grizzly charging madly toward them. They halted their horses Then, as the bear stopped and sat down 100 yards away, they saw that two large wolves were worry- ing it, jumping in and out, one at its head and one at its tail. The bear's distress was plain. Nimbly the wolves dodged its blows by inches. The curtain rang down as the bear fell to its finish behind a small knoll.
