the largest bear ever known to have been killed.
 As might be expected, Mir. Tolman has had some remarkable experiences and an effort is being made to get him to tell them but he has already refus- ed offers from Outdoor Life and other magazines to do so. Once as he stood on a log his dog raced past and as Mir. Holman turned to call him back a great black bear poked his nose into the Tolmau stomach and sent him flying through the air He landed astride a limb and from there he got his bear before the latter could do any more. One occurrence looks funny now but how funny it was at the time can be judged by those who hear it. In a sort of natural trail in the timber once his dogs rushed a bear towards the hunter. AS the bear came in sight and was bearing down on him Holman saw that one of his dogs was holding on by the teeth to the bears head and so preventing him from fir ing. On came the bear and when he was only fifteen feet away rushing down a steep slope Holman jumped back from the trail into the brush. Alas. behind him was a springy limb against which he jumped and which shot him back like a catapult right in- to the middle of the trail on his back and directly in front of Mir. Bruin who with dogs and all jumped over his prostrate body.

One of the largest deals in the his tory of Alaskan fishing will have been consummated October 1, next, when Libby, McNeill & Libby, Chi cago packers, take over the physical properties of the North Alaska Sal mon Company of San Francisco, a $6OO,OOO corporation. Already the Chicago firm has paid down $2OO,0OO as part purchase price, the balance to be paid atfer the salmon pack shall have been made. Included in the deal as now tentatively made will be the transfer of four canneries, seven ships, together with all other floating gear in the shape of tenders, small boats and barges.
 The canneries are situated on the shores of Bristol bay, Alaska, and are known throughout the northland as the Kvichak, Nushagak, EgegkalI and Lockanok canneries. The normal pack from these canneries is 25O,OOO cases of salmon a season.

 Juda Newman, president of the North Alaska Salmon Company, yes terday confirmed the report of the sale.
 "Our firm has received $2OO,OOO as part of the purchase price from Lib by, McNeil & Libby" said Newman "We do not care to make public the actual purchase price as a whole.

Pack Not in Deal

According to Newman, this seasons salmon pack will not figure in the purchase. The North Alaska Salmon Company was organized May %, 1900. The present officers are Juda Newman, president; s. J. Newman, vice-president; R. E. Cotter, secre- tary; E. S. Wagenheim, treasurer, and U. P. Haller, manager The board of directors includes c. P. Hale, J. P. Haller, Juda Newman, S. J. Newman, and E. s. Wagenheim.
 The vessels which Libby, McNeiI and Libby will take over October 1 if the deal is put through are the barls Olymic and George Curtis, ships Standard and Oriental, schoon- CTS Rita Newman and Expansion, and
 
 the steamer George F HalIer. All of these vessels are now in Alaskan waters.
 William l. Bly,, local manager of Libby, McNeil & Libby declined to discuss the purchase other than to confirm the news as given out by Newman. He would not say that the fishing fleet would be put into other service. It is not thought likely how. ever, that the prospective purchaser. will abandon the canneries, as they are regarded as a good investment despite the high ratse now offered tc shipping.

Anatomical Test.

In recent years many anatomists
have given much attention to solving
the problem of reproducing from the
skulls the faces Of ancient peoples
According to Nature, Prof C. w. NJ.
Poynter of the University Of Nebraska
some time ago gave three skulls to a
sculptor, with the request that he re-
construct the fleshy parts of the face
and head according to the data pub
lished by Professor Won Eggeling Of
the University OF jena Professor
Poynter did not tell the artist that
the three skulls were all of natives
of North America. AS a matter of
fact one, possibly of the Pleistocene
age, was found by Mr.. Robert T. Gill
der ii a mound Of river loan in Ne
braska; one belonged to an Indian of
pre-Columbian date; and one was that
Of a modern Indian. The photographs
Of the artists work show in all three
eases the characteristic face of the
American Indian. Whatever the age
of the Nebraska skull may prove to
be, it's owner was undoubtedly man
of the Indian type.
