The Wrangell sentinel., 1925-12-24

To be attacked by four grizzly bears. to come off victorious and to secure photographs of the game af- ter the battle is an experience few people have or would wish to have, but such was the experience of Ed Anderson, hand logger and trapper, recently at Khutze Inlet. Accord ing to the story Anderson was out with the object of locating a new trap line at the head of Khutze In- let, and was crossing a bare spot on the side of the mountain when he was suddenly charged by four griz- zlies. He made a dash for a high boulder and managed to get to the top of it before the bears reached him. They first made an effort to scale the boulder but Anderson had the advantage of location and pumped two bullets into him before he rolled over. The second bear then charged up the rock and was also killed The other two were smaller and were dispatched with out difficulty.

4 FEW THOUGHTS
By Buck Campbell. Many man has to die to have hounuets thrown at him.

Many a man has to die to have bouquets thrown at him. The fish that gets away al. ways looks larger than the ones that you land.

 The busy man doesn't figure much in the police court news.
 A spit ball is said to be un' sanitary because 1t knocks the batter out.
 Majorities may not always do right, but they get the benefit of the doubt.
 The quickest and surest way to make an enemy of some men Is to outdo them in anything.

WILL DEVELOP
 6 MILE GOLD STRIKE

As reported in an earlier issue of the Herald, an effort will be made this year to exploit the rich stringers of free milling gold ore found last fall near Six Mile by employees of the Seims, Carlson Company dur ing the course of it's road con- struction operations on the Hy- der-Premier- road. An an- nouncement to this effect was made by Gus Carlson at a luncheon of the Northwest Mining Association held in Se- attle April 2.
 As previously reported, the ore was found during the course of blasting operations which revealed 8 series of nar- row quartz stringers running through the granite formation in a northeasterly direction, most of which were found to contain free gold in generous quantities. Assays running as high as $32,O0O per ton were obtained.

ALASKA LEGISLATURES
 ENDS SESSION

Completing what is describ- ed by the Juneau Empire as "paradoxically the most ex- travagant and the most econ omic legislature in the Terri tory's history" the Seventh Alaska legislature ended it's session on the evening of April 30th, with total of 26 new legislative measures, other than memorials, to it's credit. "A majority of the few bills that were passed are appro- priation measures and scarce ly more than two or three may be correctly classed as new legal enactments. The rest are, in the main, minor additions to existing laws, most of which are of small interest to the layman.. The only constructive legislation passed was practically con- fined to the new jury law and the inheritance tax measure, both of which are meritous additions to existent enact ments.
 Summarizing briefly the work of the body, the Elm pire says:
 "It was paradoXically the most extravagant and the most economic legislature in the Territory's history. It spent more money than any of it's predecessors but at the same time it took an unwaverin9 stand against raises in taxaT- ion rates. In fact it reduced taxes in three instances, On. mild cured salmon, on certain classes of automobiles and li- censes for certain professions. enses for certain professions. While it was doing this it ap- propriated for all purposes about $2,00O,O0O."

The Alaska Hotel, famous hostelry of the boom days, but which, owing largely to it's too extensive size, has been closed for 8 long period, will be re- opened May 18th under the management of Messrs. Peter Gelovich and John Well. Both of the new proprietors are ex- perienced hotel men, thus as suring that the establishment will be conducted in a manner to insure the comfort and con- venience of guests in the high est degree possible. Mr. Gelo- vich was in the ohtel business in Juneau for years and has also been connected with the Alaska Engineering Com mission at Anchorage. He Is known throughout southern Alaska, having resided in the territory practically since his youthful days. MT. Well is also we'll known along the lower coast as a result of his connect ion with the hotel business in Juneau. Both are typical sour dough's of the early day type that always had the latch string out whether they were home or not.
 They have taken a tlIree-year lease on the hotel and will sub- ject it to a general renovation and refitting before opening the doors to the public.
