bear. He wna out In the woods In the

eattle. While walklns through the
bruah he wn audenly confronted by
a ahe bt-nr with two cubs at her aide.
Mr. Coulter had Just stepped on a log
ttht-n the bear saw him and utter tak
ing a god look at the Intruder
mude for him. Mr. Coulter was un
armed and the brunh wua so thick thut
to run was out of the question. He real
Ixed that he was In for a hand to hand
fight with the angry bear and prepared
to make the. worst of It. Drawing his
trusty knlffl to use In case of necessity
he stood his ground. On came the
mother bruin, and as she came near
enough, Mr. Coulter gave her a violent
kick on the end of the nose with his
shoe. This startled the' bruin, and in
stead of pushing the fight, she turned
and walked away with her cubs. This
terminus of what looked for a moment
as it would bet a fight to the death, with
the odds against Mr. Qoulter, was
KTettid with pleasure by him. Had the
bruin Insisted on vanquishing her In
truder, tha consequences might have
heen serious to Mr. Coulter.

Opening of Tarlet Sfoughjt
ltwaco, Wn Sept. 21. The first suit
In th'- cond -mnatlon proceedings in
connection with the opening of.Tarlet
slough us bfgun. In tiouth liend lat
week, Tarlet slough Is a natural water
way running from Black lake. Just
north of this city, to the head of
Shoalwatr-r bay. a distance of alx rnllea.
Years Ago it was opened and contained
water enough to' navigate small fish
boats and canoes and was ud by oys
tr deab-rs in bringing oysters from
th buy to thla city for shlpnufnt.
Later It has filled up to some extent.
The land lyin a'ong this slough is very
rli b and within the last few yenra has
been all taken up. The only drawback
to it is that a great deal of the land bs'
iwKsy and tx wet to grow anything
e.terpt grasses. The laws of the state
of Washington ire such, that property
owners can force the minority to aid in
building a ditch to drain boggy land
and this act will now be taken advan
tage of. The suit fll"d calls for the
condemnation of a strip u feet wide,
and is ag'iiust A. C. H. Moore, Phil
Monre, of Long Beach, and several non.
resident people who own property along
the slough and have objected to Its open
lug Or to paying their share toward it.
The county brought the action, and as
sunn as the matter Is settled the slough
lftlJl be deepened to drain the abutting
bind and make It tilunble. -
McOowan's cannery is only handing
about a ton and a half of salmon daily
now because of the shortage of fish .in
the Shoal water bay. No fish ar b?mg
taken from the mouth tf the Columbia
and riokera bay and the cannery has to
d.p.nd entirely uion the fish shipped
from Shoalwater bay. a distance of 17
miles. The quality of the fish coming
from the bay Is excellent and the opjsir
ators are anxiously waiting for a larg
er run. In the meantime the cannery
Is running with a short crew. -Eight or
tM) men have been kept busy labeling
and mirtlug the flea canned previous to
the elostd season the lath of August,
tvpanttory to shipping the output to

INJURED AT HUME MILL
A remarkable accident that, fortun
ately, waa not attended with, very
serious consequences, occurred In the
Hume mill yesterday afternoon. The
victim of tho mishap- is Harry Ban
garos, aged 19, who suffered a fractur
ed collar bone and an injury to the
right foot. Young Bangaraa was stand
ing over a large shaft which waa mak
250 revolutions a minute. Hl 'shirt
sieve was unbuttoned and In some un
explalnable manner, tho button was
caught in the key seat. The lad was
hurled around, -striking the floor, but
was not dangerously injured. Dr. Ful

After tha accident the shafting was
carefully examined, but the manner in
which the button was caught in the
depression was a mystery, it seemed
Utterly impossible for such a thing to
have happened.

FORT TO BE
RENOVATED
Reported That War Department
Will Make Improvements
at Columbia.
NEW GUNS WILL BE PLACED
Effort In 'ow Under Way to
Have a Itoari ISiiilt From
Post to Chinook
himI llwaco.
Fort Columbia, Wn., Sept. 21. pec-lal-The
all absorbing talk here and in
the surrounding country is the probable
disposition to tm made by the war de
partment with this' fort. Last spring'
Yfi-fort was left d"erted by the re
moval 6f--tbe Thirty-third company
coast artillery and since only six and
eight men have been stationed here un
der Sargt. Hendricks. They are simply
caring for the government property and
keeping the fort in repair.
Recently it was rumored that arrangt
ments were nndr way to thoroughly
remodel the fort and send back several
'companies of men. Among the Im
provements were the placing of several
mortar guru, several emplacement guns
and the leveling off of the bluff south
of the fort. This waa to sf cure dirt to
dump into the bay in front of the fort
to make a parade, ground. The tide
covers the bay for some distance In
front of the fort and with a little dirt
a large parade ground could b- made.
The latest advices are that this work
Is to be begun within the next year, but
no official confirmation of this report
Is at hand. However, It Is announced
that a company of myi will be sent here
soon, and looking toward this end the
officers' quarters and buildings of the
fort have been repaired to some extent
recently, -
Now an agitation ts being started to
have the government establish a" gov
ernment road between Fort Canby and
Fort Columbia. Fort Columbia is sit
uated 11 miles up the bay and there Is
now a good plank road between here
and llwaco, a distance of three miles.
From llwaco to Chinook is a fair coun
ty road and with very little work could
b made a military highway. From
Chinook to Fort Columbia it is almost
lmssabla With any kind of a rig and
most or'Jia. way -would have to be plank
ed to make It subject to quick transit.
Thi object of a government road Is in
tae of a necessity ever coming for the
O'llck, transfer of troops from one fort
to the other. This would not be neces.
siiy only In the case of the Invasion of
some hostile lleet and an attempt by
some foreign fleet to attack the mouth
of the Columbia. As the route between
the two forts is now It would almost be
impossible to transfer guns from one
foit to the other and considerable un
necessary time would be consumed by
the men in making the trip. It ts the
Intention of 'he cltixons of the penln
sula to engage the services of the
state congressmen In bringing all forces
to bear on the war department to have
the road established. In connection
with this, and unless troops are soon
sent back to the fort, soon, an effort
may be male through the congressmen
to have the fort relnhahlted as well as
try and hurry up the remodeling of the
fort.
