RECREATION. 



doing over night. At 9 I returned to camp 

 to do some cooking. Later I relieved Cole- 

 man. He came back at 4 and we both 

 watched until dark. 



Next morning the bait was gone. We 

 recovered it and watched all day. For 5 

 days we pulled that horse one way and the 

 bear nulled it the other. When there was 

 nothing left but bones we piled them up, 

 and congratulated ourselves on having had 

 last move in the game. To be sure our 

 ante was $20; but the bear earned it. 



We decided to look at the trap, pack up 

 and pull out. When we passed the stand 

 Coleman looked for the bones. They were 

 gone ! 



At the trap another surprise awaited us. 

 A bear had carefully removed our logs, 

 eaten our bait and gone on his way re- 

 joicing. 



We are going back next spring. Mean- 

 time we invite proposals from persons who 

 think they have dogs smarter than those 

 Selkirk grizzlies.
