The enormous bear stood in the cen ter of the tent with the juicy bacon beWteen his jaws and gaz- ed around, wondering why all the excitement One look was en- ough for Mike, and he, too, made his exit. Mike stated afterWard that he was too close for a shot and wanted to move away lit- tie farther to where he could shoot to advantage.
 When the unwelcome visitor emerged from the tent, carrying his supper, Mike and George had succeeded in getting far enough away-if distance means anything and were perched upon on the top limb of separate trees. Evi- dently George though the range was suitable for good work with six-shoOter and he now began firing with the speed of a mach inc gun. It seems as if Mike in his hurry to get a little range, had forgO tten the trusty 30-06 and left it laying on the sugar pile.

When Big Bear Appears Hunters
 Become Hunted
By The Wandering Reporter

Several issues ago, the Kuskc Times printed an "Ohpir Bear Story" taken from our files of lf years ago.
 The old time Ophir bear hunters have nothing on our young Alas kans of today as the following story will indicate.
 Ii seems that bear had been in the habit of raiding the ARC ca che at Shorty Greek, carrying off a few choice slabs of bacon and a ham or two. On each trip back for more bacon, MT. Bear would scorn the old opening he had made into the cache and insisted on making new entrance into the tent sheltering several tons of food stuffs.
 After about three damaging trips of the marauder, Foreman Ed Adams decided the game had gone far enough for one bear, so he called forth his reputed bear hunters, Mike McRoberts and George Cristo.
 "I'm going to give you cham ce to make those bear stories that you fellows have been telling the crew, good. You fellows take your bed and guns and go down to the cache and lay for that bear, and don't come back without that ras- calls scalp, Ed warned
 The two young men, armed to the teeth with rifles, six shooters, and determined looks, left for OF Man Bruins playhouse. The as- signment was easy. All they had to do was to take easy until the victim showed up on the scene, then with a well-placed shot they would put the poor, defenseless bear away.
 Arriving at the cache early, the boys prpeared to await the re- turn of brother bear. They talked over their plans and chuckled as they pictured the surprise that was going to greet the marauder.
 The afternoon was warm and still. A few stray mosquitos buz- zed listlessly around. Georges head settled back on a pile of bacon and Mike softly dozed on top of a pile of sugar-dreaming of far-away lands and beautiful nurses.
 Outside the tent, different scene was being enacted. A huge, black bear trudged methodically down toward the tent, his enor- mous head swinging slowly from side to side. He, too, was dream ing, but his dreams were of nice, big, juicy slabs of bacon and lar ge, plump hams. AS the visitor approached the side of the tent, he seemed to change his mind and swung for the previously torn opening and entered. He stopped and gazed near-sightedly around, lifted his nose and shifting gent ly for the tempting odor of we'll
