It doesn't pay to advertise in the American Lumberman that you are going to Alaska after brown bear It reminds me of a story I once heard 1k. lumberjack who was found on a Chicago bound train. When asked where he was going he said, q have got to go down to Chicago to get drunk, and gee. how I hate it." Last spring, told MT. Hole, of the American Lumberman, that I was going to Alas ka to kill two brown bears, one to be the largest brown bear and the other the meanest brown bear in Alaska What did he do but publish notice in the American Lumberman that all brown bears should beware. The re- suit was that, hunt as hard as I could through wind, rain and snow, day and night, from early daylight to late dark (with my hair wet for three days and nights) for fifteen days, with brown bear often crossing just ahead of us and although in one particular case a mother with three one and one-half year cubs played on a sandbar be- tween the time we passed over and came back, just one and onehalf hours having elapsed I saw no brown bear, with all this effort and luck My only object in hunting in Alaska was to get a brown bear So now have to go back, and Gee how hate it."
 Back in the palmy days it occurred to me that 1921 would be a good year to sail away Mrs. Minnick had no hankering for abroad. Mary Louise was in for anything had read about the big fish and the savage brown bear of Alaska.
