It also accepted the bid of the Thorpe Contracting Company for clearing and filling the Harri Ma- chine Shop property on which the new building will be erected. The firm’s price for the job was $4,900. Five bids were: submitted. One of these was rejected because of discrepancy.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 22— P—Seventy-six-year-old sourdough Dan Gillis is recovering from a battle with a black bear. Gillis was armed only with a willow branch and a pocket knife. Gillis is nursing bites and scratches and a laceration in one arm where the bruin's teeth cut completely through. “But you ought to see the bear,” he commented good naturedly to- day. Gillis said he was walking along a trail near his cabin at Dome Creek, about 20 miles northwest of here, swinging a willow brush away the mosquitoes. “I heard footsteps. I turned around to see a big black bear keep- ing step with me,” he recalled. Gillis said he brandished the wil- low branch, which was decidedly the wrong thing to do. The bear charged, knocking the old man down. By some fluke he | fell toward the animal, he said, pushing the bear off balance. “That gave me time to pull out my pocket knife.” While the bear was clawing at him, Gillis said he closed in and let the bruin has a few slashes over | the heart. The bear lurched back | and Gillis ran for the road with the animal’s “hot breath on my neck.” | A crew car of the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Co., had been left in the |road by a group of mining men. | Gillis squeezed in the cab and | slammed the door in the bear's face. | “The bear stood and considered the situation. Finally his lip | curled in a sneer of disgust and he lumbered off,” the old-timer said. | When the mining men returned to the car they found Gillis bleed- | ing badly from lacerations. “Wonder what kind of a story the | bear told when he got home?” Gillis | grinned. “Bet he felt sheepish, let- |ting an old man get the best of | him with a little old pocket knife.” branch to]Purchased by Frank Gordon about l 1 In her absence, Mrs. Loulse Hous-‘ ton will be in charge.

The action came after Coundi- man J. P. Christensen called to the attention of the council the need to increase the rate of pay for the street workmen ‘“before trouble starts.” He pointed out that the present rates—$1.37 per hour for laborers, $1.50 for drivers and hydrant care-\ taker, ‘and $1.75 for gradermen— were well below the wages asked by union drivers and laborers. He said that, although the lower wage rate is compensated some- what by steady employment, he believed a wage hike should be granted retroactive to July 16. Councilman James Larsen mate the motion for granting the wage boosts, and it passed unanimously. License Transfer Approved The council approved an appli- cation for transfer of the liquor license held by Warren L. Hager, operator of Bud's Bar, to H. C. and Georgia Bryant. A motion was passed providing for the calling of bids for the city’s pile-driver. It was stipulated that the minimum acceptable bid should be $5,000.
