July 30, 1932 Conference with Bagley, Miller & La Nore. It is decided that La Nore shall be in charge of bear control hereafter. Any control measures are to be kept from the public as much as possible. After much discussion for and concerning fences or other mechanical devices to protect property, the follow- ing was decided: 1. The problem is to be treated as a local problem. No lengthy report is to be sent the director. When control measures are necessary, bears shall be quietly disposed of and reported later. 2. La Nore will carry on experiments with bear repellents both at Canyon with a Pyrene gem for several days, and by spraying garbage cans at Thumbcuff with creosote & chloride of lime. 3. Next year, perhaps, concrete food containers with iron doors may be erected by each table in the Thumbcuff camp ground and an attempt made to prohibit all feeding of bears there. It shall be made a foodless camp, so far as bears are concerned.
