The Alaska citizen., 1914-07-20

the White Pass. was not clear 10
me. but am informed that the
editor of that newspaper is support
ing the big transportation company
for the same reason that he took up
the fight for Receiver Noyes of the
Washington Alaska bank.
1t will be remembered that when
The Citizen criticised Receiver
Moves. the News Miner "butted in"
in an effort TO misrepresent the
motives of The Citizen and protect
Noyes. That was when it seemed
that there would be some valuable
patronage coming to the paper from
the receivership.
However, when Noyes failed to give
the Miner a job of advertising
a lot Of old notes, the latter set out
to get even" by scoring Noyes with
out reason or apparent provocation.
Sometimes l wonder if the editor
of the News-Miner can see anything
worth while in the world unless 1t
is framed in dollar mark.

hn 9th dow that
he came as far as Skagway on one
of the three steamers that is be-
ing operated to Southeastern Alaska
from Portland. He assured me that
the Portland steamers are getting so
much trade with Alaskan ports that
they were unable to do justice to
it.
THE steamer j. B. Stetson. on
which l was passenger carried
1900 tons of Alaska freight said
Mr.. Peterson, land it was forced to
leave lot of other freight on the
dock. Every steamer IS taking all
the freight it can handle, and the
Portland merchants are highly pleas

SCHROEDER Henry Schroeder OF
is BEAR Ester creek has dis
HUNTER tingushed himself as
great bear hunter, so
the people coming from the creek
tell me, and it would not be sur
prising If he should at some future
time become a rival to Mr.. Roose-
welt, who proved himself to be the
most formidable hunter ever in Afri-
ca.
1t was week ago last Tuesday,
when Mr.. Schroeder met an old moth
err bear with three cubs at the %
mile post. After killing the old bear
he gave chase to the three cubs.
The young bears took to tree, and
Mr.. Schroeder climbed an adjoining
tree, and tried to dislodge the young
bears by punching them off their
perch.
Two of the young bears fell to
the ground and were killed in the
fall but the third one was captured
and taken home, where it is kept
chained up.
The cub was not long in becom-
ing domesticated and he is report
ed to be so gentle now that he eats
out of peoples hands.
One of the most intimate friends
that the little bear has is Mr.. Du1-
fey, the stage driver, who buys such
expensive luxuries as oranges and
honey for young Mr.. Bruin.
