 To mote Outdoor Life: "One sentence from prom inent Alaskan summed up the situation: The entlfe matter (of killing brown bears) is case or sheepnen trying to get free grazing lands and the bear must go That statement has been heard expressed Oy an ocla of big independent game guide orgalza1lon, IT, "lloll it appears considers independent guides in the same ght that Outdoor Life considers them as laoeeo ID one of the cartoons, Renegade guides .n
 Taking up story in The Gateway, along With dsnatch saving that Sid0ls.aR' F A. Henton were de ,enned to eradicate bears from the vicinity of thelr anch on Kodiak and that the San Juan Fish Company had lost sheep by bears the editorial quotes etef from the company saying: we are at 2 oSs IT
