Grizzly Bear MenaceS
 Le COnle Fox Rancher

Leon Hasbrouck, fox rancher To- cated on Camp Island near La Conte bay, had a narrowing experience recently with a grizzly bear, re- ports the Petersburg Press.
 Hasbrouck encountered the bear a few hundred yards from his home one evening just before dusk He shot at the beast and hit him several times. The bear started to flee into the woods and as it was getting dark MT. Hasbrouck decided to wait until next morning before continuing the chase He knew he must kill him as the animal was dangerously near the house and he knew how dangerous Is a wounded grizzly bear.
 The next morning Hasbrouck re- sumed the chase of the night be- fore and it was not long before he came upon the bear. The bear heard him and charged. Luckily for the human in the case however the bear thought that a stump was his victim and immediately started in to tear the object into bits. The req son for this probably was because he had been partly blinded from the shots of the night before, MT. Hasbrouck took advantage of this situation and started in a hurry for safety. He said he did not run but literally flew" from the spot. In so doing he tangled up with a root which turned him upside down and hence delayed him. The bear in the meantime was fast realizing that the object which he was gnaw- ing and clawing upon was not a man but a stump, and this time started for the man.
 Mir. Hasbrouck was able to fire only hurried shots at the grizzly and due to the fact that the gun was only small one, 1903 Savage, did not do any harm to the animal At times Hasbrouck was a meager four or five feet from the bear. He finally ran and sought aid from Pat Deveney and Clarence Olsen of this city who were crab fishing in the vicinity. The trio returned and after firing numerous shots finally managed to kill the grizzly.

Migratory Bird Season
 Not Changed This Year

Local sportsmen were keenly dis appointed when Charles Benjamin. licensing officer, received a wire yesterday from the Alaska Game Commission stating that in the ab- sence of a proclamation by Presi- dent Roosevelt or department ad- vices to the contrary, the open season for taking migratory birds remains the same as last year, name ly from September 1 to October 31
 The daily bag limit, as last year, is fifteen ducks and four geese and the maximum possession limit is thirty ducks and eight geese in accordance with provisions of mi gratory bird treaty act and regula- tions.
 The ducks of Wrangell district are largely local until around Octo- Der, 1 when the flight birds begin coming in.
 The local ducks are numerous but are not considered worth going out for until after the middle of September. Just now they are at the pinfeather stage and are not prime quality.
 Wrangell sportsmen are unani- nous in believing that the proper season for this section is from Sep tember IS to November 15 and that an earlier closing date is an in justice. They have done all in their power to have last years dates changed but to no avail.

Counterfeit Quarters
 Flood Alaska Towns

That Juneau is being flooded with alleged counterfeit quarters was revealed by bank officials after number of dubious coins were brought to their attention by Ju- neau merchants, reports the Alaska Press.
 Officials of the First National Bank, who have many of the ques- tionable quarters in the till, have wired to Seattle for information concerning the money and await 8 reply before declaring them counterfeit.
 The coins are, under close scru- tiny, without dates and with i'm proper borders. Those who have seen the coins state that some possible process giving the money worn surface has been employed to coun- terfeit the absence of the dates.
 Bert Caro of Juneau, was the first to report to the bank with such a coin. He was warned in Ketchikan some time ago to be on the lookout for such coins, and now, upon investigation, the bank has discovered that the community is literally flooded with the 25c pieces.
 c. P. Kirtland of the Wrangell branch of the Bank Of Alaska, said today that so far as he knew there were no questionable coins circulat- ing in Wrangell, nor had he been notified that they were in circula- tion in other Alaska towns.

Brown Bear Agitator
 Assails Forest Service

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 28- again into the open today when John M. Holzworth, New York agi- tator on that issue, complained to Secretary Henry A. Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture that the United States Forest Service was padding it's bear population figures. bear census announced by the De- nartment
 He charged that the Forest Serv- ice has been guided by politics in stead of biology" The Department said the matter would be looked into.
 In the census figures published recently by the Forest Service, the big brown and grizzly bears of Al aska were shown to have increased from 5000 in 1891 to 4,500 in 1892. It explained that the census was based on estimates rather than a strict count of noses.
 Holzworth, who is president of the National Association of Wild Life Conservationists, Gan organiza- tion formed by himself) said the increase was biologically impossible as female bear reproduces only once in two years. An increase of 500 per wear is the most that could be expected, he declared.
 He expressed grave doubt if there had been any increase because of the inroads of hunters. He at tncked the Forest Service saying: 'The Forest Service is attempting to give the impression that protection is not needed by the animals be- cause of concessions it has given to paper and pulp promoters" Holz- worth gained wide publicity two years ago when he started move ment to have Admiralty Island and Chichagof Island set aside as sanc- tuary for brown bears.
 Juneau officials of the U. S. For est Service were not inclined to take MT. Holzworth's attack very ser iously, says the Juneau Empire.
 Practically all of the brown bear sections of Southeast Alaska are known to have very satisfactory stocking of the animals, it was as- serted by B. F. Heintzleman, Asst. Regional Forester, who has been ac- tivly interested in that subject for many years. He directed the Forest Services cooperation with the Al
