BEARS KILL SALMON
Alaskan Bruin Slays Them for
Food and Sport.
an Eat 600 Pound at One Meal
Gulls .and To rim Alto Among
Causes for Waning Fish Sup
ply In Northern Rivers.
Bears that flsh In shallow water and
gulls and terns that pluck out the eyes
of their prey aro destroying millions
of Alaskan salmon, according to E.
Lostor Jones, deputy commissioner of
tho bureau of fisheries, who was sent
to Alaska last summer to Investigate
tho causes of tho waning salmon sup
ply. Tho bears, ho says, aro tho worst
offenders, becauso thoy haunt the
shores of streams during tho spawn
ing soason, and, besides killing hugo
quantities for food, alny muny thou
sands of others just for tho puro Joy
of tho sport.
Tho commissioner In his report tella
how at Black Bear creek in the Clovo
land peninsula ho found tho shores for
ICO feot on both sidoB littered with
hundreds upon hundreds of humpback,
silver and chum salmon that had been
tossed out of the water by bears,
Hardly any of the fish had been mu
tilated except by tho marks of tho
bear's claws on their backs. All that
wbs eaten was tho "cheok" of tho sal
mon, the boar, according to Commls
loner Jones, bolng very fastidious and
preferring that part to any other.
As the bears in Alaska aro the larg
est in tho world and aro noted for
tholr ravenous appetites, it is, easy to
realize how much damage thoy can do.
On Kodlak island, whore tho full
grown bear weighs three-quarters of
a ton, tho deputy comihlsBlonor
learned from a natlvo that one of
these giants could eat n third of his
own weight in salmon In a single day.
"As In other parts of tho territory
Mr. Jones remarks, "this bear also
IhrowB considerable numbers of flsh
out of tho water, many of which it
may never caro to touch for food."
While wolves and even eagles aro
also doing much harm, Mr. Jones
found that still greater destruction
was caused by gulls and torns. Do
acrlblng his visit to Sierra creek on a
rainy day at low tldo, ho snyB:

along tho banks. As I drew nearer I
saw thousands of salmon fighting their
way up tho shallow atroam, and
among theso llBh were tho gulls, pick
ing out first ono ovo and then tho
other. I flushed this enormous hordo
of gulls, which I bellova nurabored at
least 10,000. Going closer to tho
stream, I found humnback salmon
flopping overywhoro, with tholr eyes
gono and othorwlso mutllatod from
Uio picking and clawing of these
birds. I estimated that on this crook
alono thoro wore within Bight 5,000
fish either dead or dying that had
never Bpawned."
To remedy thin condition Mr. Jones
makes several novol suggestions. Tho
ease with which tho bears and gulla
prey upon salmon, ho says, is duo in
largo moasuro to tho number of ob
structions in Btreams which thoy fre
quent in tho spawning Beason. Bo
sides tho falls and other natural bar
riers, some of tho rivers have not
been kopt clear of tlmbor and otho'r
obstructions, and aro consequently
providing ideal fishing grounds for the
natural enemlos of tho salmon. Wholo
schools are halted on their way up
stream by those obstructions, with tho
result that tho flsh fall back exhaust
ed into shallow wator, only to be
preyed upon by bears and gulls,
Tho commissioner mentions a num
ber of Btreams whero this is especially
truo, and urgos that tho government
approprlato sufficient mouoy to havo
tho worst obstructions removed, The
fnlld in mnny places, ho saya, could ona
ily bo blaBtod to glvo tho salmon a free
pasBago. In other pIucob, whero dyna
mito is Impracticable, tho construction
of "flsh laddora" 1b rccommendod.
"Tho Investment of a few thousand
dollars on all of theso streams," saya
tho commissioner, "would mean n
groat return in tho future as tho roBult
of oponlng up additional natural
spawning grounds as yet almost whol
ly untouched."

Berlin. How German soldiers
Baved tho Hfo of a French baby Is
told In a letter written by an alder
man of a West Prussian city who Is
serving as a battalion adjutant at tho
front. ,
"Wo had taken the village by
storm," ho writes. "Tho enemy had to
bo driven from overy single house,
every bam and overy shed. Still wo
woro within tho reach of tholr Held
guns and so It was impossible for our
commissary department to furnish us
anything to eat. Wo had to subsist
on what wo could And in tho village.
Luckily wo discovered a cow in ono
of tho barns, somo of our men were
fortunate in cnpturlng two plga and
the following night two steers wcro
brought In from the pasture outsldo
the village So tho meat question'wau
solved for somo days to come.
"But wo had hardly anything to
drink, tho water was dirty and scarce.
Besides, our men expected something
bettor and strongor.
"Wo searched overy house, went
into ovory cellar, cropt through every
garret and found nothing. Finally
ono of our mon called my attention
to another houso which wo had
missed. It was badly damaged by
shells. Tho stables wore mostly
burned down. Tho yard was covered
with French uniforms, bloody cloth
ing, guns and the remnants of slaugh
tered animals.
"In tho cellar of this houso we dis
covered human beings. Thero wero
six women and eight children hud
dled together. I askod them whether
thoy had had anything to eat and
they told mo tho Gorman soldiers had
given them bread, soup and somo
meat.
"Whilo talking to tho women I
hoard tho faint cry of n baby, and in
looking around I discovered In ono
of tho cornora a young mothor hold
ing n six months' old child to hor
breast. I Inquired whether tho child
was sick and tho mother told me It
was starving. It had not had any
milk for two days.
"It soemB tho women had told our
soldiers about tho baby, but thoy had
not understood what wbb wanted.
Then I remembered wo had kopt tho
cow wo found two days ago in our
barn. So wo wont for the cow.
"Ono of my men volunteered to
milk and got busy. But thero was no
milk. I ordered another soldier to
milk, but tho result was the samo
negative. Tho Idea struck mo that
where bo many soldiers wanted milk
for their coffoo tho cow might have
boon milked dry. So I placed a
guard In front of tho cow's stall and
ordered him to let no ono como near
tho animal.
"Three hours later wo tried again
and wore overjoyed when wo obtained
a pitcher full of milk. Immediately
wo mado hasto Tor tho cellar whero
tho baby wbb still crying. It did not
cry very much longer.
"Tho womon wero profuBo In their
thanks and ono of my mon who car
ried the pitcher scolded them for
making so much noise. Ho was mad
becauso tears woro rolling down his
cheoks. Ho hltnsolf la u father of
