Gil- pound bear one day last week while hunting close to Camas valley. They started the hunt with a pack of 11 dogs. They were not long In getting onto the trail and the bear was brought to bay by the hounds. He was full of fight and cuffed the brave but Indiscreet dogs so hard that half a dozen of them were badly crippled. A shot or two was sent Into Bruin, wounding and exasperating him so that he started through the brush after Gllroy. The hunter could not bring his gun to bear In the dense brush and was hit in some way in the back of the head. A shot from Woods finally stopped the bear. Mr. Woods, who was In White Salmon Monday, says there are a few down from the timbered foothills of Mt. Adams, and they Intend to go on a I hunt shortly If snow does not set In soon at the higher altitudes. He says the bears stick to the mountains because wild cherries are more plent iful Until lower down the White Sal mon. Enterprise. WILLIAMS' SPEECH BRINGSCOMMENT Editor, the News: Hon. George F. Williams of Boston, who delivered a speech at Heilbronner Hall last week Is not a calamity howler, an alarmist or soap box orator, but a man of na tional reputation and measures up to the requirements of a statesman of high order. His speech was instruc tive and showed a deep study and was entirely free from demogogic or partisan prejudice. He dealt almost entirely with facts, history and sound logic, which should Impress every person with the importance of being prepared and willing to discharge the duties of citizenship, was the lead ing thought of his discourse. Mr. Williams' statements were the most sensational that have been made by any public orator in Hood River for many years, barring only those made by Governor Folk, who lectured here two or three winters past. It will be remembered that Gov. Folk said that fifty people or combination of persons owned or controlled 80 per cent of the wealth of this government and that it was harder to couvince a Jury that graft ing was a crime than it was to prove the accused guilty of grafting. Mr. Williams made the statement that one combination, namely the fi nancial interests or bankers associa tion which is controlled by not more than eight men, can at any time and at their own sweet will throttle or control any line or branch of indus try. He said they may single out or select for punishment those guilty of an enroachment or violation of any of the bankers' associations' assumed prerogatives or special privileges. The sensational and alarming part of that condition is that the organiza tion is so complete that the common people who create or produce the wealth are left without a remedy be cause the small business man will not dare to come to their rescue. If they should attempt it they will at once be given a political object lesson tut h as was given to them during the first half of the year 18!t3. There is not a person living who passed through the period of 1873 to 1876 and 1813 to 1897 who does not well remember these conditions. The weak point in Mr. Williams' speech, was that after he assured us that the small businesss or middle man will be eliminated, 1. e., muz zled, he did not prescribe or offer any specific remedy nor show how the people may escape the approaching crihla or money panic, which Is being held in reserve to discipline the peo ple when the Aldrich Commission Re serve Bank Bill comes up for action if there is any formidable opposition notwithstanding the apparent present business prosperity which 1b thrown out to the people to secure the elec tion of a Congress favorable to that measure. Prevailing conditions are similar, in fact really a parallel to what ex luted prior to March, 1893, and prior to the occurrence of the "Gentle men's Agreement Panic" of 1907, business was not transacted on a money or a cash basis but on a cred It system and the associated bankers of New York City or Wall Street controlled the credit, the same as they do now. They will use it the same as they did in 1893 and 1907 when they want to further their con trol and centralize the wealth of the country into fewer hands. That one fact as stated by Mr. Wil liams Is the strongest evidence that common people the producers are left without a remedy except to be good and patiently submit to the charities of the accumulators. Abraham Lincoln said when dis cussing the question of chattel and in dustrial slavery and the encroachment of capital on labor, "Capital Is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first ex Isted. Labor is the superior of cap ital and deserves much the higher consideration. If this statement of Mr. Lincoln is true and I believe it is and funda mental and the statements of Mr. Williams are also true there is no getting away from the fact that slav ery was not abolished as a result of the War of the Rebellion further than the assumed ownership of the body of the slave, which carried with it the moral as well as the selfish and legal duty of the owner to provide for the food, comfort and welfare of the body of the slave, which is en tirely eliminated under the modern improved system of industrial slav ery under the domination of corpora tion trust management and manipula tion. Surely Bob Toombs could call the roll of his slaves on Massachu setts soil if he owned a controlling interest in a Lawrence, Lowell or Fall River Mill. QUIZ BE GUY. A News adv. does the bunlnes.

You use your wagon every day and work it harder than anything: else on the farm. Buy a wagon that lasts longer than the aver age. It is an easy thing to do, even though all wagons which are painted alike may look alike. The difference in wagons is underneath the paint. It is the material and workman ship entering into the construction of I II C wagons, Weber New Bettendorf Steel King which make them the best wagon investment. We tell you how our wagons are built, and we want every purchaser to convince himself before buving, that when I H C wagons are advertised as having oak hubs, hickory axles, and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms, these are the materials actually used. When an I II C wagon reaches a farmer'! barn, that farmer has one of the best wearing, easiest running farm wagons that skilled labor can make or that money can buy. There is no need to speculate in buying a wagon. I II C wagons are made for nation-wide uses, -with special features adapted to local condi tions. Weber wagons have wood gears. New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears. The I II C wagon dealer in your town sells the wagon best suited to your neighborhood.

IHC SarrUe Boreas ARRAIGNS TEDDY IN SPEECH HERE George Fred Williams was greet ed by a good sized audience when he spoke here the last of the week in behalf of Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Williams held the close attention of his audience for two and one-half hours, during which time he gave a comprehensive review of the cam paign Issues from the standpoint of the Democratic Party. Much of the speech was devoted to a severe casti gation of Theodore Roosevelt and es pecially of the connection which Roosevelt is said to have had with the Morgan and other big interests. There were several of the Bull Moosers in the audience. Some of them showed their resentment by leaving the meeting. Others under went a change of heart and threw away their buttons. Mr. Williams was taken on an au automobile tour of the valley Friday morning before leaving for Pendleton.
