Captain Smith, alias Wild Bill, of
Otter Rock and other places, de
parted for his home Tuesday morn
ing, accompanied by his three bear
dogs. John Ofstedahl and Wild
Bill returned Monday evening from
a hunt near Chitwood, which was
the last of the series, and which,
like the others, was bear-en. The
dogs, however, worked beautifully,
and on one occasion brought the
hunters up on the run. The an
imals sat at the bass of a tree, look
i ig up into its branches and baying
in a manner that will always make
the sporting blood in a man fairly
jump. The hunters approached
with Winchesters cocked and at a
"ready." It was a chittim tree,
and Gabriel Dahl was up in it peel
ing the bark at the rate of about
$55 Per ton. The dogs had him',
all right, but as this is not the season
for killing chittim peelers, Ofste
dahl coaxed Smith out of the notion
of shooting. Smith was consider
ably disappointed, but said he didn't
think Gabriel's pelt would sell for
more than 35 cents, anyhow. A
good many deer were jumped, but
as it is against the law to use dogs
in hunting deer, they didn't kill
any. Captain Smith expects to
come back and try it again some
day.
Everett Jones writes home from
Aberdeen, Wash., that he has se

some day with wads of money and
then the girls won't look at the
boys who have that tired feeliug..
