ENTERED GRIZZLY'S CAVE
XIOW TI1B EXD OF THE LAKE COIW
TV BEAU WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
Bruin Wna Prodded In the Rear With
a. Pole, and When He Came
Oat Was Shot.
LAKEVIEW, Pr., March Z7. GeorEe
Small came to Lakevlew today from Sil
ver Lake, and brought with him a claw
and a tooth at the famous grizzly bear
killed near Silver Lake a few days ago.
Mr. Small was one of the hunters, and
gives an Interesting account of the hunt.
There were six In the party of hunters,
Ave men and a boy 12 years old. The
bear, which had been committing depre
dations on stock in that community for
the past 15 or 30 years, had been especial
ly troublesome recently. William Vandtr
vert. who lives at the Deschutes, 100 miles
away, and has a state reputation as a
hunter, was sent for. He arrived last
week with his dogs, and the bear's trail
was soon located about eight miles from
Silver Lake. After following It about six
miles, the dogs "treed" the monster In a
cave In a mountain on the headwaters of
Silver Creek. The trail that led to the
bear's den was along the shelves of a
cliff beneath the rlmrocks, and there was.
but one way of getting to It The hunters
followed on, climbing along the project
ing rock, and reached the mouth of the
cave. They found a small entrance to
the dark cavern, and the dogs refused to
enter. They tried to smoke the grizzly
out. hut he rrfused to come.
Then Jeff Howard, an old resident of
this county, and a hunter and trapper,
suggested a plan more daring than that
of Israel Putnam, and proceeded to carry
It out. By peering into the cave for a
long time, he discovered that there were
two apartments, and he could tell from
the growls of the bear that he was In
the larger one. He also discovered that
the walls that separated the two caves
were of shell rock, and that there were
crevices and openings between them. He
had the other five hunters climb upon the
projecting cliffs above, so as to be out of
danger, and where they could cover the
entrance of the cave with their guns, and
he took a large pole and entered the cave.
Groping In the darkness, he discovered
the entrance that led Into the smaller cavo
and entered this one and got In the rear
of the grizzly. He then began to prod the
monster, and soon made it so uncomfort
able for him that, with a ferocious howL
the animal made for the open air. The
minute he reached the cliffs. Billy Ball,
the Indian, shot him through the neck
from above, and a few more well-directed
shots completed ,the work.
He proved to be a monster plantigrade
genus bear, and a conservative estimate
placed his weight at 1200 pounds. Some
thought he would weigh considerably
more. His skin, which was prime,
weighed 00 pounds, and was eight feet in
length. He carried four inches of fat on
the back. One of his claws the middle
one measured SH Inches In length and
one inch in width.
Conn, one of the hunters, paid 00 for his
hide. The amount of the reward divided
between the hunters was KB. and Vandtr
vert was paid $0 for coming.
At the election held to bond the town of
Lakevlew In the sum of $10,000 to build
water works and electric light plant. 64
votes were cast for and 20 against the
bonds.
Ben TYarner, the pioneer reported to
have died In San Francisco, and for whom
friends were grieving, arrived home safe
and sound, and visited Lakeview last
night.
G. S. NIckerson, Deputy United States
Surveyor; of Klamath Falls, with a party
of 12 assistants, arrived in Lakeview to
day, and will leave for the "desert" to
morrow; They .go at the Instance of the
Government to survey 10 townships ot
land, extending the lines further Into the
"desert" for settlers and homesteaders.
The land lies in the vicinity of Rock
Creek and Abert Lake, the "dead sea of
Oregon." It also lies in Lake and Harney
Counties. The surveying party's head
quarters will be at Laird's Ranch, about
70 miles north from Lakeview, and they
will be at least two months in making
the survey.
"W. K. Barry, a rancher of North War
ner, in this county, set tire to some tules
on a tract of land Saturday, to prepare it
for the plow, and the fire got beyond
control and burned over more than 3000
acres of ground and destroyed the home
of a rancher named Ramsby. The neigh
bora did not get the fire under control
until Tuesday.

FROM GHAIK TO LIVESTOCK.
The Hardy Goat Beeomlag Popular
In the Lons Tom Country.
MONROE, Or.. April L It is quite evi
dent from the present actions ot many
ranchers in this section that the acreaga
ot train in the future will not be ro
heavy as it has been in the past. Several
men who have heretofore been farming on
rather an extensive scale are now seed
ing down their fields to grass and turning
their ready money into other channel,
the most popular of which seems to be
the goat business. Of course, cattle and
sheep receive some attention from those
who are giving up farming, hut the goat
seems to hold out Inducements to them
which no other domestlce animal can du
plicate. The back fields, the wooded ewamp
and brushy sldehtll. which have never
been sources of much revenue, now sup
port small flocks of these hardy animals,
and the mountain ranges even are now
being turned to good account.
Among the owners of the larger flocks
here are George A. Houck. owner ot the
"Lone Pine stock farm." L. H. Hawley
and E. B. McElroy. While these people
are using mountainous grazing lands for
their goats, numerous small farmers own
fewer numbers each, and never before
have' so many ot these animals been win
tered in this locality.
Hot the Best Method.
Pittsburg Dispatch,
Out In Oregon they have taken a novel
means to keep out the plague. A fee of
5 cents has been offered for every dead
rat delivered, to the Chief of Police of As
toria, the Idea being that If the infection
ever reaches there it will not he spread by
rats. This reason Is not altogether sound.
The Oregon rats are not infected. They
are not dangerous unless they should come
Into contact with rats from some Infected
ship. But suppose the Oregonlans succeed
in annihilating all their rates and that
then an Infected vessel should vl5lt their
shores. Would not a ratless town or ter
ritory effer extra inducements for every
infected rodent to desert that ship for
the rat forage that would abound in such
a community? Then if a scalp premium
should be offered again the office ot the
Chief of Police would simply become a
pesthouse, and the premium would be an
Invitation to every Idle resident to seek
contact with the contagion. There are
better ways of Anting the plague than by
exterminating the rats In advance.

WHO SHALL PROSECUTE?
CANDIDATES FOR DISTRICT ATTOR
AEY IX THIRD DISTRICT.
Marion and Linn Already Well Rep
resented In Matter of State Of
ficers Other Counties' Claims.
SALEM, Or.. April 1. Since the Re
publican County Convention settled all
questions regarding county candidates, the
Republican politicians have turned their
attention to the matter of selecting a can
didate for the office of Prosecuting At
torney for the Third Judicial District. This
district is composed ot Marlon, Linn, Polk.
Tnmhlll and Tillamook Counties, and the
convention for the selection of a Repub
lican candidate will be held in connection
with the state convention at Portland.
April 12. The district is entitled to 63
delegates, apportioned among tho coun
ties as follows: Marlon. 22; Linn, 14;
Polk. 9; Yamhill. 12; Tillamook. 5.
Aspirants for the nomination are quite
plentiful, each county having at least one
candidate. Before the primaries. Linn
County had two aspirants J. N. Duncan
and A. M. Cannon both of Albany. By
the outcome ot a contest In the primaries.
Cannon failed to get the support of the
L!nn County delegation, and dropped out
of tho race. It Is now undertsood that
J. N. Duncan and N. M. Newport, both
of Albany, will divide the Linn delegation,
and will each get support In Marlon. Both
are men of considerable experience In
practice of law. and have a wide acquaint
ance In Linn, Marlon and Polk.
Marlon has only ono Republican candi
date for the place. John H. McNary, of
Salem. McNary has served four years
as Deputy District Attorney under the
present prosecutor, and has a wide ac
quaintance over the district. If he shall
tall to have the support of all of Marlon's
22 delegates. It will be because this county
already has both Circuit Judges. Tho
other counties contend that Marlon should
not ask for the District Attorneyship also.
J. N. Hart, of Dallas, is Polk County's
candidate. Hart is Just closing his second
term as County School Superintendent.
He Is at the disadvantage ot having had
little experience In legal practice, but the
Polk County delegation will urge bis nom
ination on the score that their county has
not been accorded a state officer for It
years, and has not had a Circuit Judge or
District Attorney for 21 years.
Yamhill's favorite Is R. L. Conner, of
McMlnnvtlle. Lack of experience will be
urged against him, though his ability Is
unquestioned. He Is considered one ot
the best vote-getters among the aspirants.
It will be urged In his favor that Yam
hill County has at present no state officer.
Tillamook's five delegates will go to
the convention to support T. B. Handley
for District Attorney. They will be ham
pered by the fact that Handley resides in
an Isolated part of the district, and also
by his lack of a wide acquaintance. Lo
colly, also, he failed to win at the primar
ies. The Linn County candidates will be
handicapped by an argument similar to
that urged against the nomination of a
Marlon County Attorney. Linn County Is
the home of the present Attorney-Genera!
and also of Supreme Judge Wolverton,
whose renomtnatton Is sought by the Linn
County delegation.
POPULISTS HAD JtO "SLATES."
Still Deleicatee Were Chosen From
Lists Primary Judges Got There.
OREGON CITY, April L It was assert
ed hy several, populists before the pri
maries were held yesterday that there
would he no slated tickets for delegates
to the county convention, as the Republi
cans nad. It Is true that no printed tick
ets were In evidence, but in Oregon City
precinct No. 2 several copies ot written
tickets lay on the table. In one precinct
I the nams ot 10 candidates were posted on
the wall, and the voter selected seven del
egates to be voted for from this list. In
thla precinct the three Judges were elected
delegates, and In two other city precincts
two of the Judges at each polling place
were also elected delegates. The objection
was raised that at the Republican pri
maries printed tickets were used, but
nevertheless the opposition also had print
ed tickets, and the voter could take his
choice Brownell or antl-Brownell.
There are two candidates for the nomi
nation of Justice ot the Peace in this
district on the fusion ticket Gilbert L.
Hedges, of Canemah, and David Caufleld.
of West Oregon City. J. J. Cooke will
probably be renominated for Sheriff, and
It is conceded that E. H. Cooper. Chief
Deputy In the County Clerk's office, will
receive the nomination for Clerk. It Is
difficult to forecast what a two-thirds
vote to nominate In the Joint convention
will bring forth.
