Wounded Bear Kills
 Trapper At Ugashik
FIRST DETAILS OF NOVEMBER TRAGEDY BROUGHT HERE
 ON THE STARR

On the 10th of November, James Orr, a trapper in the Ugaship district, went hunting with one of his neigh bors and came to group of alders where Orr discovered huge brown bear. He shot four times at close range with his 30-30 rifle and the bear ran into the bushes and laid down appar- ently dead. Orr went after the animal while his companion remained quite "a distance away. The bear got up and Orr shot the fifth time when the brute raised up on his launches and charg- ed. Orr was unprepared for this and was struck in the face by huge paw breaking his jaw and tearing his face The animal then circled his fore legs around the mans body in an effort to squeeze and finish him but Orr kept on fighting. At last the bear loosed his grip on the trapper and with one mighty blow knocked him for many feet causing internal injuries from which he died an hour and half la ter. The bear was mortally wounded
 and died immediately. It weighed 1400 pounds.

Six Westward Children Are Walking Skeletons
 Says Unga Petition

Six children, ranging in age from four to twelve years, who lost their mother last year at Unga, are walk ing skeletons, according to a letter received by R. V. B. Dunlap, super intendent of the Jesse Lee Home and citizens of Unga have petitioned him to admit them into the local Home.
 Owing to the fact the Home is now overcrowded, It will be impossible to do this, MT. Dunlap said Tuesday, at the Chamber Of Commerce met ing. And the crowded condition is due solely to the reason that part of the Home quarters have been turned into school quarters which condition it is hoped will be remedied this spring.
 The father of the children has great difficulty in providing for his children, the petition, which is signed by seventeen prominent res- idents of Unga, states, but of course, the neighbors are, in the meantime, doing what they can for the children.

Owner of Reindeer Herd Comes for Operation; Says
 Be Little Salmon Fishing

Ben Hansen, a cannery watchman for the Alaska Packers Assn, at Uga- shik, arrived on the Starr and left on Monday for Anchorage for an opera tion. MT. Hansen mushed over the trail from Ugashik to Kanatak with his dog team and caught the Starr. He has herd of reindeer at his home in Ugashik and the government also has a large herd. The latter is looked af- ter by MT. and Mrs. L. A. Ford, who are also in charge of the native school for the Bureau of Education.
 MT. Hansen looks after the Diamond U cannery operated by the Alaska Packers in Ugashik in the southern part of Bristol Bay. The Red Salmon Canning Co.,, owned by Frank B. Pc terson, operate at this place and the International Packing Co.,, operated floating cannery last season. It is doubtful whether there will be much salmon fishing next season owing to the new restrictions on fish traps. No fishing will be allowed inside the mouth of the Ugashik river and due to the difficulties of navigation in the bay due to high winds and shallow water it is considered too dangerous to attempt fishing in a small dory.
 Mr. Hansen reports the death of Will liam Sullivan on August 25, which was probably due to ptomaine poisoning. Sullivan was a trapper in this dis trict.

 WITH A BRIDE
CITIZEN OF COOK INLET IS GUEST OF LOCAL
 CHAMBER COMMERCE

M. F. Shortley, business man of Seldovia, who arrived in Seward the other day from Seattle, and who will depart for the Inlet town on the Admiral Watson, was guest at the Chamber of Commerce business meeting and luncheon Tuesday President McMullen called upon MT. Shortley for few remarks. In part he said:
 -Four months ago I went outside a single man but am returning a benedict. My wife is quite well known to Alaskans on account of her previous work as travelling represen- tative of Outside firms. am quite certain I got the better of the deal. However, hearing you gentlemen speak in an optimistic vein regarding the future welfare of this and the westward districts, the words of an orator whom I had thepleasure of listening to, while in San Francisco, comes back to mind. In burst of oratory the speaker emphatically ex- pounded the fact that for years San Francisco had been knocking Los Angeles and, also for years, Los An geles had the hammer and tongs out against San Francisco. But in con- clusion he pleaded with his audience to join hands with Los Angeles people, forget their civic troubles and PULL FOR CALIFORNIA That's what I would like to see the various Alaskan communities do,' MT. Shortley said.
 Conditions in the states appear very prosperous, and there is nc question about it but what Alaska will receive her proportion of the substantial increase of the prosper. ity wave, MT. Shortley added. The The fishing industry for Cook Inlet this coming season looks better thar ever before according to present in. dications, and with reference to the proposed beet industry in the Homer and Kenai districts, MT. ShortleJ said he would take particular pains to SC that the local chamber would get seed and all the statistics, whicf can be secured, on the growing O sugar beets in that locality.
