the mountain side. It was the bear.
If he had not struck a log he would
have rolled clear to the beach. As it was
he came down a quarter of a mile.
- May 29 -
Spent most of the morning skinning
the bear. It was a 5.6 ft. 3 inches long
and in poor fur. There were several
old scars on his rump and sides where
he had either been shot or had fallen
before. Spent the afternoon in working
on the skin.

Finished the bear skin this morning
and in the afternoon Miss Alexander
and I went over to the beaver dam
and she took several pictures. In
the evening Mr. Littlejohn and Mr.
Hasselborg each got a beaver cub about
2/3 grown. About 5 o'clock when Miss
Alexander and I were coming back to
camp she saw 2 large bears up on
the mountain side about 3 miles away.
We could see them very plainly through
the glasses but it was too late to go
after them.
