Bruins Bad Break.

Bear mincemeat, hide. hair and
spots OF blood near Wortman's road
house mark the place where careless
bear rolled down the hillside into a
bunch of steers being driven over the
trail from Valdez to Fairbanks. The
fight took place where the trail runs
along the foot of steep blum. 1t Is
not certain what made the bear come
down. He either lost his footing while
rubbering at the herd or took run
ming jump to stampede the bunch in
the hope of biting off a porterhouse
steak. In either event his calcula.
lions were wrong, for those IS steers
fell upon him like two-and-twenty foot
ball players upon the ball. In less
than a minute the cowpunchers
couldn't see what was going on. ex-
cept that there was trouble.
Then the scent of butchered bear
lssailed the breezes and those S5 hys.
terical steers stampeded in all ways
at once and It took the punchers half
day to gather them together again
The bear will never get together again
in this world. He Is supposed to be
dead.

ANOTHER TALK
ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS

Quite a number have responded
during the past Week to the state.
Inents sent them on subscription.
However, there are several hundred
who have not "dug up the small
amounts they owe. Now those who
have failed to remit should bear in
mind that they will hear from us
again If they do not come through
with the money within the next
Two weeks. We are only asking
our subscribers to pay their just ae-
counts, and they are badly mistaken
if they think We we're joking when
re stated that we needed the money
| 1t ID our earnest desire to enlarge
and improve the Examiner, but we
cannot do this without money, and
as We stated last week there is
enough outstanding on Subscription
accounts alone to enable as to make
the desired Improvements, if the
money was in our pockets instead
Of the pockets of our subscribers.
Then We are really violating the
federal law by sending the Examin.
er to those who are a year or more
IN arrears, ana If a ppstoftice inspect
or should come along and inspect
our books we would likely get into
trouble.
A few of those who have respond
ed to Our statements have ordered
the paper discontinued. We ex-
pected this, as some people get mad
every time they are asked to pay a
bill.
If you are friend of the paper
and want to help us "get out of the
hole' so we can bly, the greatly
needed press, send along your little
mite. Surely there il not a person
on our subscription list but what
can easily afford TO settle their &C
count.
We don't want TO 60 to the ex
pense and trouble of pushing these
collections, we intend to do it, al
,.a arc determined ia either haSl
what is due us or discontinue send
ing the Examiner.
