ALASKAN BIRD USED IN
 JAPAN TO CATCH FISH

One of the most peculiar looking of Alaskan fowl is the 'shag' a bird which greatly resembles a duck, yet has a snake-like neck. Their nest ing grounds are in Shilak lake and for food they dive for fish. In Ja- pan 'shags' are also found in great numbers but there the fishermen have trained thousands of them to assist in catching fish. The Japan ese fisherman places rings about the birds neck which prohibits the bird from swallowing the fish clasp ed in it's beak Upon returning to it's master the boss takes away the fish and releases the bird which re- turns again in few minutes with another fish. And So on. And this is not a fish story either!

BEAR STORIES GALORE
 FROM FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS Says the News Miner: The hunter who lays any claim to the title has at least one, and generally more, stories of how he outran an incredibly large and ferocious bear which was coming towards him with the speed of an express train, and was only evaded by a desperate dash which was a sort of combination of land and air travel. Such stories will in the fu- ture, be altogether out of place, for the speed of bear has been accu- rately determined. To speak in fig ures one must go at the rate of IT yards every ten seconds to Outrun a bear-and that is nearly twice as fast as the speediest human has ever travelled the distance on foot. Tn other words, the speedometer of an auto showed a speed of thirty-five miles an hour while chasing a black bear. which, while frightened, was neither ferocious nor hungry.
 The bear was sighted out at Chat anika recently, and upon seeing the auto, he started down the road, with the car in pursuit The hillsides were steep and the animal was not aware of the limitations of an auto. for he trusted neither the hills nor the brush. Miles went by and the bear knocked off his thirty-fiYe miles per hour with the regularity of train. Finally he made for the brush and disappeared from sight.
 Not many minutes after Johnny Longacre came along with a truck load of men returning from work, and in the road was the same bear. condition. He patiently started off again; the spirit was willing, even eager, but the flesh was incapable The men shouted; the bear logged ly trotted along; and he was given a boost every few feet by the bump CTS. He stood the pumping for about a mile. and then hit again on the experiment of going into the brush, and was seen no more.
 But there are more bears in the Ohatanika country. Not long ago a gang of men were eating lunch some distance from their camp. when out from the woods strolled a little black cub He walked directly up to one of the men, who gave him a sandwich. It was soon gone, and the bear came back to the same man for more, but nothing was offered him. He nosed around for a minute or so, then lifted his paw and slapped his benefactor in the face.
 There are more When Ed Hol- brook and several other men were freighting supplies to Dome Creek with a caterpillar, recently, they ran across a big brown bear They had nothing but a light revolver; Bruin appeared to be interested in the "cat" and came towards it with com mendable speed; several shots were fired from the gun, but no casual ties were inflicted Some sort O movement semed to be in order the men moved, and moved quickly, to the highest trees In the immedi- ate vicinity, and there they rested for several weary hours, until the bear grew weary and moved off.
 A young fellow came from the outside and was cooking temporarily at U. S. Creek. He was alone in the
