The Cordova daily times., 1920-06-26

i Messrs. Chapman, Young, Chase, Ash | ton and Stoesser, which left here last Saturday, returned early Thursday morning, having annexed plenty of experience and mosquito bites, but no bears. They came very near getting one on Monday, when they sighted on the ocean side of the island a very large brown bear, probably the under study of Dr. Chase's. The party sep arated and surrounded Bruin, getting within three hundred yards of him, but a misinterpretation of signals | from the beach gave him opportunity 1 to escape. A smaller brown bear was sighted the same day, but it also got away. The hunters made com plete voyage around the island during this trip. MT. Stoesser made several moving pictures.

 High tide at the city dock finds a crowd Of small boys-and some others that are not so small-having great sport fishing for "Dolly Vardens." :" Batting with "cranberries'' from the salmon refuse of the cannery, they have no trouble hooking the pink freckled beauties, each done up in it's glittering tin-foil wrapper, like a stick of spearmint.

"Curly'' Hickman, Dewey Metzdorf, Mrs. Beat tie and Karl Lotsfeldt-all former Cordovans. The girls have taken rooms at 9O7 Summit. Avenue, and are much pleased with Seattle. |

 What shall we do to entertain our distinguished guests, Secretary Dan- iels and Admiral Rodman, when they come to Cordova next month? Now that the time of their visit has been set forward two weeks, we must bestir ourselves to provide suitable enter tainment. What shall we do? Here are few suggestions:
 l. Have Walter Stoesser take moving pictures of Mayor Adams meeting them down at the dock and presenting them with an enormous copper key-the key to the Copper Gate of Alaska-the copper that put the dough in Cordoughva.
