ASTOR HAS RARE
KIND Of BEAR-D0G
MAY EXHIBIT HIM
AT ASTORIA CENTENNIAL
Animal Said to be Half Dog and Half
Bear Purchased From Gypsies-
Offers $1,000 for Duplicate.

People of Astoria, who will celebrate
city next summer, 1t being the first
American settlement on the Pacific
coast, are much interested in an
nouncements that Col. John Jacob
Astor, descendent of the founder OF
their town, has found rare curios-
ity in his "bear-dog" and will ask
him to bring. this strange animal to
the celebration.
Col. Astor, according to reports
which have excited the Astorians. has
an animal that Is. plainly half dog
and half bear. He bought 1t from
gypsies in the Pyrenees mountains,
He says it wakes with a "waddling
gait" and is wholly unknown to the
common or garden variety Of scien-
fists that infest New York.
One attempts to explain the freak
by saying 1t is a young st. Bernard
and another inclines to the belief that
Colonel. But the fact remains that
the "bear-dog" is unlike anything
ever seen before and Col. Astor has
offered $4,000 to anyone who would
enter in the dog show at Madison
Square Garden in New York a similar
"bear-dog."
So the scientists and near-scien-
lists Of Manhattan are said to be rum
I ming around in circles, giving tongue
to yelps of irritation. To some
thoughtful ones, however, the freak
animal suggests unlimited possibili-
ties. If it is possible to cross bears
and dogs. they say there is no end to
the changes they can make in the
animal kingdom. Recent experiments
whereby scientists have produced en-
ormous frogs by dissecting, combin-
ing and fertilizing eggs lend encour-
agement to this hope.
Col Astor is expected to represent
his illustrious ancestor Of the same
name at the Astoria centennial and
will probably be made honorary
chairman of the affair. People of
the coast hope to have look at the
"bear-dog."

UNKNOWN may equal that one or two.
The Chitina region had never been en-
tered except by few miners, en-.
gineers and Indians, 80 that when the
railroad, now 100 miles inland, reaches
the mouth of the Chitina river, thirty
Ave miles farther, next summer, prac-
tically an entirely new country, the
future activity of which is assured be-
forehand, will be opened up. At pres
ent ingress is possible only by long
trail trips over a very rough country. a
condition that will be changed almost
In fash within a few months. The
result to those who know what pioneer
conditions are is apparent.
Another new mining field that gives
great promise Of attracting large num-
bers Of pioneers next summer is that
north of Seward, on Kenai peninsula.
This is old placer country, In which
some Of the mother lodes have recent
ly been discovered and are proving
very rich. This country is still very
difficult Of access beyond Cook inlet,
as there are not even government
trails, but a railroad is on its way in
land to the Matanuska coal fields, and
the Alaska road commission has prom
ised next summer to build a trail
northward In this valley and across
the mountains to the headwaters Of
the Kuskoquim on the way to the
Iditarod diggings. This will give a
great Impetus to both quartz and
placer mining along the line and will
allow the development Of several
quartz propositions.
The railroad out Of Seward already
crosses the peninsula seventy miles
and with new government trails has
this last year made available much
gold quartz country Of great promise.
On the whole. the most conservative
Investigator must admit that Alaska's 8
greatest mining days are Of the future
and that the mineral wealth produc-
ton will be In the steady ascendant
from now onward.
