THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, MAY | Hank’s Successor on the hook! e e e e it it Sports fishing-fiend Olas Larsson produced a letter from the Port Angeles, Washington, Derby com- mittee that might interest the ar- dent almon fishermen in the Juneau area. In the communica- tion was an invitation to all Ju- neau fishermen to participate in the Port Angeles Derby in Septem- per, and said that they might reg ister with the Puget Sound derb; through the Sport Fishing Club here. Local nimrods qualifying in Alaska would be then invited w the big derby in the Btates. The Rev. John 2ed Harris proved that the trout in Auk Lake are very hungr during the evening rise when they brought ba a nice catch of 40 shining specimens measuring over a foot. They claim the fish took shiners baite spinners better than anything else. L. Caunble and the other day of the Alaska Defense Command o aid in the conserva- tion of Alaska’'s game in spite of the thousands of soldiers who have been brought into the Territory within the last few months, was revealed in General Orders No. 16, just issued at Fort Richardson in Anchorage. Good advice as to taking unde:- size fish off the hook to prevent their dying is given, also a regu- lation prohibiting the use of the new Garand semi-automatic rifle as a weapon for hunting game. Sound, common-sense in all, but most interesting were paragraphs five and six on conversational bear hunting: “5. A great deal of misappre- hension exists in regard to the habits of bears. Bears are regard- ed by many uninforthed persons as vicious animals that will frequent!y Cesire ally \ charge men upon sight. This is very far from being the truth. Bears have very little fear of man but are not inclined to be hostile. They have a great deal of curiosity and will often approach a man and stand on their hind legs in order to take a good look at him. Under such conditions, if a man remains and talks in an ordin Lny tional tone, the chances ate 1,000 to 1 that the bear, after looking him over, will wander away.
