In talking of his experiences while
la Alaska be told the following story
which will show the remarkable pro
tection the Remington rifle afforded
him on one occasion:
"Last May while in Alaska I went
out bear hunting with O. V. King,
the Bullustite powder man, of Hun
Jose, California, and a guide. The
country in which the hunt took place
was mountaliiouB and the cliffs were I
precipitous and to get over them was when one of them r.'ared i.p and pok

About three weeTts after we had OS'
tablished our camp we w?re out one
day with our glasses when we located
four grizzlies. They were up above
us on the mountain side. We started
the climb in pursuit of them about
nine o'clock In the morning, and aftoi
five hours' toll we got above them
and on the windward side. At our
point of vantage we were within fortj
yards of the in. There were two ly
lug down like pigs asleep and the
others were standing upright boxing
each other Ilka prize fighters. I said
to King: 'Let's take a picture of
them,' for we had our cameras with
us. King got one exposure which
failed to focus properly and while I
was trying to focus my camera a
whirlwind came along bringing a gust
of snow with it. I kept my eye on

of the cave I found about four f.:et
of enow banked up a ,aiimt the bot
tom of the cliff throd h which was a
big, nola dug through the snow Into
what proved (o be the den of Messrs.
Bruin. We could hoar tha bear In

but could not see him. King waa
posted to command the mouth of the
cave while t proceeded to dig the
snow away from thi enhance. After
digging a passa veway I took a a.ulie

from the cave we were ca.ivlnccd
that he had been done for. Wo
lunched here and rested, for we were
tired out from the exertions of the
day's hard work. Then I prepared to
enter the cave again, against the pro
testations of King and the guide
When, we cams inside of the cave It
proved to be about thirty feet across
and fully as deep. The bear was
found in the farther end of the cavo

of us could drag out. lie was finally .
rolled out and down the mountain :

In the basin at the foot, of the moun

Mr. Hillis tells this story with par-
donable pride, for, Indeed, he dls-'
played bravery and daring on this oc-;
casion of which Mr. King never tires
of boasting. It is a true hear story ,
and an account of it was publishad
