MRS. NELSON SHOT bear.


to the third house she saw the bear.
1t just reared up and stood in the
doorway as if to say Cali right, Mrs.
Nelson, 1 just dare you to try to
shut up these turkeys" So she shot
it. And that was that, or so Mrs.
Nelson thought.
AS she closed the door and started
back to the house, Mrs. Nelson felt
real proud of herself, in a modest
way, for shooting the bear. That bear
had made itself into a nuisance
round about, for the canyon coun-
try hasn't much to offer in the way
of berries and other bear food, and
even though it was populated by
only one bear, pickings were so lean
that he had been forced to make
meals of sheep, and several colts
that he managed to catch.
so SHE THOUGHT, as I said be-
fore, that that was that. But it
wasn't, not by long shot. In this
case 'that" served to boil over the
silliest little misunderstanding that
has simmered in the canyon coun-
try for quite piece.
You see, Mr.. Nelson and Mr..
Scothern, the bachelor whose place
was at the southern end of the cam
yon, had had an argument as to
who should be game warden for the
district that includes the canyon
country, and Mr.. Scothern had
solved things in his own devious
way by gettin' himself appointed.
/ guess Mr.. Nelson's feelings were
hurt by this turn of events, because
he became some riled up. Then MIR.
Scothern got mad cause Mr.. Nelson
was mad, and things got ready to
pop. And that is how the whole
affair started.
Well, as I started to tell you, Mr..
Scothern got wind of the out-of-sea-
son bear KILN. He knew Mrs. Neil
son couldn't prove that when that
old bear reared up on his hind legs
| he meant business, or that he even
reared up at all, or that she always
carried gun when she went to
shut up the turkeys so she could
kill any varmints that might be after
eggs.
So Mr.. Scothern reported to the
judge, who was friend of his, and
got the Nelson's fined $50. Then Mr..
Scothern carried off the bear to
make fine rug for his dogs to lie
on in front of the fire winter nights.
NOW MR.. SCOTHERNS double
barreled dealings didn't set well on
the digestion of the canyon country
people, them being always in favor
of fair play, and giving the under
dog warning before shooting his legs
out from under him.
After that, Mr.. Scothern kept a
close watch on Mr.. Nelson's activi-
ties. He figured Mr.. Nelson might
turn the other cheek, so to speak,
and do some more unreasonable
killing, thinking that Mr.. Scothern
would be so busy CROWN that he
wouldn't bother to watch.
Sure enough, late one Saturday
night Mr.. Scothern came upon Mr..
Nelson with mighty handsome
three-point buck in his possession

Development of Tourist Industry Considered 'AIaska's Cash Register

The Alaska Visitors As sociation is potentially the greatest cash register in A laska. In addition Alaskans have one magic word that is a magnet for attracting tourists. The word is Alaska, Herb Hilscher, member of the A. laska Development and the AVA, told the Kodiak Cham Der of Commerce Thursday.
 Hilscher's mission to Kodiak was twofold. He was here to boost the AVA and to help form the Kodiak Chapter of the Alaska Good Roads As seciation.
 Antonio ''Tony' Polet, business man from Nome and a member of the AVA and the ADB. urged everyone. and especially Chambers of Com merce, to extend hospitality and friendliness to all visitors and tourists who come to the territory.
 Don't skin the tourist! He is a possible resident and his opinions of the treatment ac- corded him will either bring more to the territory or chase them away, "P olet declared.
 Polet pointed to the Anchor age Fur Rendezvous and the Matanuska Fair as activities that could be tied in with the program of attracting tourists.

Indicted For Murder

Washington (R)-A federal grand jury indicted Oscar Collazo, 37, Puerto Rican, for murder in connection with the Nov. 1 attempt on President Truman's life.
 The charge is based on the killing of Leslie Coffelt, White House guard, who went down under the blazing guns of Col -lazo and Griselio Torresola. The latter was killed in a rain of bullets from other guards.
 Mir. and Mrs. Walter O'Brien have purchased Mrs. Verna Abston's home on Mill Bay rd. and moved into it this week.

He gave the Alaska Steam. ship Company credit for help. ing promote Alaska to the tourists.
 ' Polet preceded Hilscher in speaking to the group. Hilscher predicted that the tourist industry could be built into a hundred million dollar industry within the next few years.
 He added that at present the one serious drawback was venture capital.
 In plugging the Alaska Good Roads Association he suggested that every auto- mobile owner contribute one dollar to a fund which in turn would help convince the next session of the Alaska Legisla- ture to appropriate more money for roads.
 American politics are guided by the old axiom, the squeaky wheel gets the grease" Hilscher stated. :
 Stickers for display on auto- mobiles and on business house windows will soon be sent to Kodiak. There will be a slight donation for these and the funds will be used for the road program, he said.
 The keynote of Hilscher's talk was roads develop a country; let's all support the AGRA.

 Dn Macdonald Suit

Decisions in two suits in volving H. F. Macdonald, owner of the Kodiak Cold Storage Co.,, and the City of Kodiak, will be given Monday by Commissioner A. M. Voka- eek.
 Hearing on the two suits was held Thursday by her. The city recently filed suit against Macdonald for an un- paid water bill which the city claims totals $78.50.
 Thursday Mcdonald filed suits against the city for over $1000 damages allegedly done his plant during the time it received no water from the city last year. At that time the City ordered the water supply cut to the plant after Mac Donald refused to pay the bill allegedly due.
 Talmage L. Smith is re-
 
 presenting Macdonald in the suits, and John c. Hughes the the city. Mrs. Myrna Perkins, city clerk, was a witness for the city in it's suit Thursday.

Mayor Gets unds In Capital For Reservoir

Funds for the construction of the new reservoir and a. part of the money necessary for the water and sewer dis tribution system have been obtained for the city, Mayor Lee c. Bettinger wired City Clerk Myrna Perkins yester- day.
 Bettinger is now in Washington where he went early this month after the funds granted by Congress to the Alaska Public Works Agency were drastically cut late in October.
 Bettinger's wire said he was. "still trying for school and street construction funds and that construction can con- mence as early as the engi- neering is complete. Engineering plans for the reservoir were completed early in October by Marcus Wood. engineer for Hubbell and Waller Engineering Corpora tion, and were to be presented in Juneau on Nov. l. The plans for the water and sewer projects were supposed to be in the Public Works Agency there also by Nov. l.
 Bettinger stopped in Juneau to confer with Governor Gruening prior to going to Washington and he and Councilman Jack Hinckel talked with naval officials at NOE before he left.
 Bill Sharp, engineer for Hubble and Waller, is due to arrive in Kodiak this week to complete the plans for the water and sewer project, Mrs. Perkins said yesterday.
 When the cut in federal funds was announced the Chamber of Commerce and various Kodiak citizens wired the Director of the Bureau of Budget protesting the action.
 The planned housing unit and the construction of a new school building hinge on the acquisition of the new reser- voir and water and sewer system.
 The city council authorized the mayor to make the trip to Washington to seek the funds.

Democrats Hold
 Slim Majority

D
 Washington (R)-Republi. ;can voters battered the Demo. cratic Senate leadership Tues. day in the general election but failed, by a slim margin, to ] win control of the Senate. The Democrats won a two. seat majority, 49 to AZ, and stacked up enough seats to control the House. Senator Robert A. Taft, Ohio Republican, won reelec- tion by a large majority de- spite opposition of the United Labor League.
 Heads rolled among Demo cratic bigwigs as Scott Lucas, Democratic Senate leader, and Francis J. Meyers, Democratic whip. went down to defeat. Senator Willard Tydings, Democrat from Maryland. lost to Republican candidate John Butler.
 Governor Thomas Dewey, Now York, and Governor Earl Warren, California, defeated their Democratic opponents.
 President Truman was dis appointed" over some of the election results but pleased by the size of the vote in an off year. The vote was exception ally heavy.
 A check of recent history of the Senate indicated the possi- bility that the thin Democratic control of the new Senate could be wiped out by death or resignations.
 Senate records show that 30 members of that body have died in office during the last six sessions. With the Demo- crats holding only a 49 to AZ margin the death of a Demo- cratic senator in a Republican controlled state could easily re- suit in the appointment of a Republican senator.
 It could also work for the Democrats.

East, West UN Forces
 Join Tn Korea

Seoul (R)- Allied forces forged a steel band across North Korea's narrow waist in a link up of U. s. 10th corps forces from the east and Eighth army clements from the west.
 The link up was made south of Tokchon as Chinese com munists just north of the Manchurian border continued an ominous build up of troops.
