BEAR hunters, bear dogs and bears this is a natural trinity down in Curry County, Oregon, like faith, hope and charity. , Tou have played with Teddy bears, 1 you have seen bears dance at the com mand of some Neapolitan gentleman, you have perhaps developed the "wil lies" by watching some polar bear swing his head in a perpetual affirma tive in. a cage. You have read "Johnny Bear" and how Charles Dudley Warner executed a bear, and "How AVe Killed a Bear Betsy and I." In toyland. in cages or chains, in literature you have come into an across-the-fence contact with Bruin, but did you ever meet him face to face in. a huckleberry thicket or a skunk cabbage patch? You have met him more than once if you ever lived in Curry County. This is his home. There are about the same number of real bears in Curry County as there are Teddy bears in Portland.

Will lAke, Delniar Colgrove and Elmer TWO BIG NEW YORK AUTOMOBILE SHOWS ARE CENTERS OF INTEREST FOR OUT-OF-TOWN CROWDS Society Turns Out in Force to See Exhibition of Cars at Hotel Astor Average Price of Machines Is $5000 and Some Novel Models Are Shown Roadsters Are Now for Four Passengers. BY GETTA R. WASSERMAX. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. (Special.) The two big automobile shows are on and the out-of-town crowd which was a feature of the old time horse show, but which has now, partially at least, transferred allegiance to the newer sport, is assembled in force. No reservations for rooms have been accepted by any of the prominent hotels for the lat two weeks and many of them are taking care of the overflow of their customary clientele in private houses in their vicinity, and one of them, the Vanderbilt, has- engaged ac commodations for a number of their patrons in hotels in Brooklyn. Society, as usual, turned out in force for the 13th annual International Auto mobile Show at the Hotel Astor. This year, owing to the great number of entries, it was necessary to use the boxes as well as the hall proper for the display of cars. The average price of the cars is about J5000 and there are about 100 machines on exhibit, with a total valuation of more than $500,000. The coach work has a tendency to ward low-suspended bodies; in fact the leading requisites for the smart car seem to be low, compact lines of the body of the machine and long sweep ing lines of the hood and cowl, with the upholstery and painting in soft, neu tral colors. 1 One rather novel car is called the Dolphin. It is a three-passenger car, of low and very Taklsh outline, built on a sort of nautical plan, which idea is emphasized in the two-toned gray color scheme. There are two forward seats, with an aisle between leading to the rear seat. A very marked change seems to have takes place in the roadsters, most ot which are now four-passenger cars, with the seats closely coupled. Then there is a very fascinating" new coupe arrangement, a bit on the style of a clover leaf. But above all one notices that each succeeding year the cars grow more comfortable and luxurious. Six thousand persons, unmindful of the intense cold, or perhaps reminded more- forcibly by it of the intense suf fering of those in the trenches, joined in a big open-air peace meeting here, under the auspices of the American Neutral Conference Committee, just after the beginning of the new year. It was one of a number held in various cities across the continent. Among those most active on the committee of arrangements were George Foster Pea body. Dr. Si.ecU.en. & Wiae. r.ev, John Miller are all well-known Curry Coutv-, ty bear hunters. lOO Bear DoK, Owned. Jake Fry has probably killed more bears than any- other man in Oregon. He has been hunting bears for 50 years, since he was 11 years old. In that time he has owned 100 bear dogs. He has kept four on band steadily for half a century. Eight years is the or dinary life of a bear dog. In eight years, often before, he goes to the Val halla of brave bear dogs. Mr. Fry re members the heroic services of dogs dead these 40 years. During retro spective evenings the ghosts of those 100 dogs that he has owned come back to him. eager for the hunt, nimble of foot, musical of voice, with Spartan courage, no yellow streak in the whole 100. Bloodhound and beagle hound are standard breeds. Bloodhounds, mastiff and shepherd are a poor cross, says Mr. Fry. The bears that Jake Fry has killed run up into the thousands. He has killed as many as 10 in a day. A low average would be 23 a year. That would make 1250. Hut he has killed more than that. He now has oiw of the finest farms on the whole Rogue River. Everybody, no matter who he is, is wel come at his big house near Illaine post-, office. Killing bears, with this man. has surely been a "pious pastime." for he is constructive in every other way If bear hunting and bear killing pro duces such citizens, we all would do well to turn bear hunters. All Are Vetera Hanters. Frank Fry has hunted beara in Curry County for 33 years, averaging 25 a year. Dclmar Colgrove has hunted for 20 years. Will Lake, Elmer Miller and Walter Fry are also "veteran hunters. Iurlng the Summer the bears travel along the river, in the Fall they eat huckleberries and -acorns, with suclt; miscellany as they can find In the way of food, and in the Spring clover, skunk;, cabbage and grass are the principal features of their menu. Almost every day you can read iiv the papers of the killing of a bear; somewhere in Oregon; annually-they-kick the beam by hundreds; but for. many years to come there will be bear hunters, bear dogs and bears in Curry County. Haynes Holmes, Mrs. John Fels and Miss Lillian Wald. Those of us who live in cities where gardens or at least bits of green are the rule instead of the exception can appreciate the noval way In which Mr. and Mrs. Edward VI. Browning, wealthy New Yorkers, have secured a like privilege for themselves in thia city of stone. They have installed a ffower garden on the roof of the apart ment-house, which they own and in which they make their home, consist ing of 30 flower beds containing 10.000 plants, besides which they have Summer-houses, arbors and a real lake, with a boat in Summer, and in the Winter it automatically becomes an ice rink. Right Rev. William Lawrence, bishop of Massachusetts, reports that 14,000. 000 of the to. 000,000 Episcipal Church pension fund has already been raised. This large sum, however, has been pledged only on the condition that the other $1,000,000 be subscribed before March 1, of this year. Those in charge of the campaign are very hopeful of the final accomplishment and little doubt is expressed that the system, with all its attendant benefit.", will soon be in full and complete working order. i Three .more women of Hew. York's smart set have joined the rapidly in creasing number of their sex entering th': business World. These three are Mrs. Nathaniel Bowditch Potter, wife of I"r. Nathanlal B. Totter, of No. .191 Park avenue, yho is related by mar riage to Mrs. Vhilip Uydig and to Mrs. oi-.n Hoot: Mrs. Elsie Cobb Wilson. who is a sister-in-law of Cornelius N. Bliss. Jr.. and Mrs. Frances Alexander Wellman. who Is a niece of John Alex ander, the well-known painter. The new undertaking Is to conbist of In terior decorating and the entire fur nishing of homes. A monthly publication, to be called the Bulletin, has Just been launched by the league for Business Opportunities for Women. At present the league numbers 310 members, from all fields of women's business endeavor, and its object is to help the beginners in their first years of work and likewise to as sist them to choose occupations and professions, when that is necessary. The staff of the new publication is made up of wonren of experience: the editor is Eva von Baur Hansl. who was formerly editor of the woman's page of the Evening Sun. Other active workers are Katherine Glover. Grace Hatheway and Gertrude Hill Springer. A number of women who are in sym pathy with the ideas and working principles of Mrs. Margaret Sanger, for which, she was placed on trial during the week, gave a "birth control break fast" in her honor Just before the trial and then marched in a body to the courtroom. The breakfast was held in the rooms of the Women's City Club. at the Hotel Vanderbilt, and the ar rangements for it were made by the Women 8 Committee or One .Hundred of which Mrs. Amos Pinchot is chair ' Xew York's newest hotel will Jtx 2$ stories high., contain 2300 rooms, cost 315.000,000 and be owned by 150.000 leople. each subscribing to one mem bership share of $100. The name is to bo the "Commonwealth.'" The "Tough Club." the most famous social organization of Greenwich Vil lage, which has been in existence for 40 years, held a reception for 750 chil dren of that neighborhood recently at the clubrooms, 243 West fourteenth (street. A big "Vacation" circus is to be given in Madison Square Garden some time in March, for the benefit of the Vacation Association Fund. Eight hun dred members of the society attended the preliminary meeting on Tuesday night. One of the features is to be a gigantic ballet, participated in by tlie members of the association and as many more of their friends, all of whom will be drilled and trained by Arthur Riegel. ballet master of the Metropolitan Opera. , Almost all the stars of the musical firmament are scintillating in New York just now, partially no doubt on account of the war, and the "sharp" and "flat" heavens are so overcrowded that even the most ardent music fan is bound to miss something that is worth while. A number of Portlanders attended the first of the series of his torical recitals that Madame Marcelle Sembrich is giving in this city, at Aeolian Hall, among 'them Mrs. Kath leen Lawlor, Miss Margery Haussman, Mrs. May Iearborn Schwab. Miss Bauer, Mrs. George Russell and Mrs. Henry Metxger. mm The people of the Pacific Coast have a rare treat in store for them in the coming productions of the Portmanteau Theater Company, under the superfine direction of Stuart Walker. I have never been so thrilled as by the per formance of the two LfOrd Dunsany plays. "King Argimenes and the Un known Warrior" and "The Gods of the Mountain," and I doubt if tjiere hes ever been a more wonderful finale to a play than that of the latter. The en thralling effect of it may be judged by the fact that the typical blase New York audience, after sitting breath lessly through three hours of serious entertainment, would hardly be. satis fied with half a dozen curtain calls. All tase set. accompanying music, cos tuming and acting is as nearly per fect as could possibly be imagined. 1 Maurice Samuels, the talented yourff California playwright, is now on the royal road to recognition. Not only is his play. "The Wanderer." In course of rehearsal with a marvelously selected cast, but the author has just signed a contract with David Belasco. whose name in the production of a play spells success, for a new play for Miss Frances Starr for the coming season. m m Mifts Mary Nash, who is now playing In "The Man Who Came Back." Jules Eckert Goodman's very dramatic work, has been added to the World list of film stars and Mr. Goodman has beeui commissioned to write the scenario for her new film debut. The mechanics and other employes of the Punch and Judy Theater have issued invitations for a performance of "Treasure Island." which they will give on Sunday, January 14. The regu lar company close their remarkable run of nearly .two years tonight. Dorothy Shoemaker, assisted by Louis tCuaciuded ea fage .).
