AlAsKA's BROWN BEARS.
They Are Good R~oadmakers aud Furnish
Dangerous sport for the Hunter.

"The brown ear is the great road
maker of the Alaska peninsula" said
Hugh Mayo. a guide of many years
experience in that region. Not only
are the banks of the streams troddcn
into good trails by the huge, lumber
ing brutes, but the swampy plains are
crossed in every direction by paths
leading to the hills. The ravele will
do well to follow them in journeying
across the country. as they invariably
lead to the best fording places OF the
streams and form the easiest routes
TO the hills. The northern sid of the
Kenai peninsula. bordering the shores
of the Cook inlet. Kodiak island and
the Alaskan peninsula as far west as
Uniak island are favOrite stamping
grounds of the Alaska brown bear. He
is a huge. shaggy animal, varying IN
length from six to IL feet and weigh
ing from 500 to LOO pounds. This bear
possesses all the courage and fierce
ness of his Southern cousin. the grizzly,
and he has been hunted so little as yet
that he is absolutely fearless of man
and is an exceedingly dangerous ad-
versary.
lone of the best places i'm Alaska to
find the brown bear is in the vicinity
of Portage bay, 10 or Il miles across
Unga strait from Sand Point. One sum-
mer while / was at Sand Point two
hunters came in after an absence OF
a month i'm the vicinity of Portage bay
and reported having killed SO bears.
One day they killed seven
In dealing with the Alaska brown
bear a hunter should never go alone.
A companion is almost as essential as
a gun. If possible. a man well ac-
quainted with the peculiar habits Of
this animal should be engaged to act
as guide. Good bear dogs are of great
assistance. but they must he brought
into the country by the hunters as
there are very few dogs there. There
are no trees as far west as Portage
bay. and the hunter must be exceed
ingly careful how he enters the heavy
thickets which cover the rive bottoms,
as the bears favor this kin of ground
and IL aroused or wounded will unhes-
itatingly attack.

quents, during the salmon season, all
the rivers emptying into Boring sea
and the North Pacific and their tribu-
taries as far as the FISH go. After the
salmon run Is over the animal retreats
into the recesses of the hills. where ber-
ries and small game are plentiful.
The Alaska cranberry Is an espe-
cially toothsome morsel to the brown
bear. although the berry is not sweet.
and the bear has a particularly sweet
tooth. The Alaska cranberry grows on
marshes that are 1000 n even 5000
feet above the sea level. When ripe
they are almost a deep purple. They
do not have seeds, like the New Jersey
or Cape Cod cranberry, but have a stone
fiat like the seed of a pawpaw. and so
hard that only the best steel blade will
make a mark on IL. Jelly made from
these berries Is of a rich claret color.
and as transparent as the most flaw
less glass. The flavor of IL is delicious.
Bear hunters haunt these elevated
marshes when the berries are ripe. for
then they are sure OF a profitable and
easy harvest"
