ALASKA FOR U.S. WAR ON t BROWNBEAR North Overrun by Brutes, 4 Appeals to Congress to if Lift Hunting Ban BY LEK J. SMITS Among the many problems that congress will be asked to tackle at its next session will be that of the . brown bear. * That the prototype of the nursery bugaboo is an jal menace to civ Mization in 1920 may seem amazing Dut there has been assembled a mas sive indictment proving that thou sands of square miles of rich terri tory are barred to settlers because of & hulking beast with an appetite for everything from ants’ eg@s to Merino sheep; a creature weighing half a ton or more and with a touchy, un Bclable disposition. RGER THAN GRIZZLY AND TWICE AS MEAN The brown bear of Alaska ts even larger than a grizzly, and twice as Mean, according to the big file of charges that the .Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has prepared. He has a long list of human victims, killed or maimed, and he has given hundreds of others the scare of their lives. Actuated by the commendable in tention of preserving a species from extinction, the government carefully Protects the brown bear. The sports Man may shoot the harmless black bear in Aluaka whenever he meets ‘One, but only by obtaining a special Permit from the bureau of biological Survey may the brown bear be hunted. And how does the brown bear dis Play his gratitude? BEARS WIPE OUT UNCLE SAM'S SHEEP On Kodiak island the department Of agriculture established an experi Mental herd of sheep.

He is a magnificent beast. his pelt makes about the best trophy the biggame hunter can ac quire on this continent and it seems @ shame that he should go the way Of the silvertip of the Rockies, ATTACKS MAN, “ND HARD TO KILL But a chamber of commerce, and those who would like to settle on Kodiak island, the Alaska peninsula the Yakutat region, the Baranof and Admiralty islands, look at the matter differently. brown bear is the only large Wild animal in America that habitu-| ally attacks man withéut provoca- tion. Prospectors go in dread of him, carrying tin cans filled with stones) to warn him off. The brown bear,| scientists and hunters agree, does| not trail a man to kill him, but will] charge when he finds himself face to face with a human !ntruder; | A high-power rifle, skillfully han died, is not always certain protec tion against the brown bear, as he stands a ‘terrific amount of punish “ment.

Not so much on account of “Wee’ Coyle himself, tho he still haa the grit and punch and pep that made him a football hero at high school and the University of Washington, and that led him out onto the battle field at the head of his command in the “Wild West" division, but on account of his manager. She said herself, just as she was boarding the “Milwaukee” for Spo kane to meet him last evening, that while she doesn't like this politics one bit, mow that that boy has got into It, she is going to see him thru, jand make him a winner again. “Wee's” manager took charge of his destinies when they were going to high school together. He had the athletic bug then. He wanted to play football—if he were only bigger “It isn’t the size,” she told him, confidentially. “It's the heart that wins. The strong heart and go thru it” Some good guessers said ft war Gil Dobie that coached “Wee” Coyle to victory a few years later at the University of Washington, and made him the greatest quarterback the Northwest haa ever seen, Dobie had mething to do with it, but it was “Wee's dainty, who walked to school with him, and home again, and kept her eyes upon him in betwee times, who made him | keep his head when he wanted to break training.
