War Will Result
In Tourist Boom
'! State highway department offi
cials Saturday predicted the Eur
opean war would be a boon to
Oregon's tourist trade If the war
lasted through next summer,
i They said that since Americans
' now are prevented from going to
Europe unless they have urgent
business abroad, they naturally
would tour the United States.
Many of those who regularly go
to Europe probably will come
west.
The war came too late, how
ever, to increase this season's
tourist trade, which will amount
to about $40,000,000.
Canada also should get some

This cycle of plays Is not to -be
the ordinary roadshow variety.
These shows will reflect the life,
labor and beauty of the finest
dramatic art in America. The
plays are all proved successes
and will offer New York casts,
approved by the original produc-,
ers and they will be staged with
the original properties, lighting
and scenic in vestures which de
lighted New York audiences In
their long Broadway runs.
The plan to guarantee cities
throughout the country a pre
determined number of legitimate
road show attractions and place
them on a concert basis, is a
new one in the theatre and cre
dit goes to William B. McCurdy,
Portland manager, who for the
past years has brought to Port

Walter Hampden, Jane Cowl,

Cornell, Eva Le Galllenne and
many, others.

Cone-Hunting Professor Mistaken
For Bear, Tale Told on Himself
By Former Sheriff "Jimmy" Culver
CEditor'i Note OIow Jm W. Culver.
one-time Marion cornty .heriff, narrowly
mifjed shooting a professor for a bear,
and learned a hunting season lesson, is
told here by Carey V. Martin, Salem at
torney and outdoor lorer.)
By CAREY F, MARTIN
One of Marion county's best
sheriffs was W. James Culver, af
fectionately known to his host of
friends as "Jimmy." He was a
surveyor by profession, but in his
busy life time he successfully and
dutifully filled many positions of
trust. He was a careful, trust
worthy man in almost any posi
tion, and like many more men of
his- kind, loved the great outside
world of the mountains and prai
ries and, of course, was a good
and careful woodsman and hun
ter. One summer, with a crew of
men, he was doing some snveying
along the skyline of the Cascade
mountains, either in Linn or Ma
rion counties, possibly in the
neighborhood of the present San
tiam pass. Near where the sur
veyor's camp was located were
acres of wild blue huckleberries
just ripening. To this huckleber
ry feast a black bear came daily
but always early in the morning
or late in the evening and always
very successfully avoided being
seen by anyone, although he al
ways left much evidence of his
visit by broken bushes, and tram
pled grass and undergrowth.
Bears have unusually large feet,
"part of their lower legs turn up
as feet" as one woodsman puts it.
"Jimmy" Stalks Bruin
It was one of those beautiful,
quiet summer evenings just before
sunset, when the thin, high moun
tain air is so exhilerating and all
nature seems to be slowly dozing
off to sleep with not a breath of
air to waft the scent of a hunter
to keen-scented wild life, that
"Jimmy" took his high-powered
rifle and started out to slip up on
Mr. Black Bear. He soon found
the fresh trail and easily followed
it around the side of the mountain
and over a ridge beyond which
the hill dropped down almost per
pendicular about two hundred
feet to a brushy and tree covered
The fir trees along the sky
line arc not ordinary Douglas firs.
They are known as Noble firs and
are of two distinct kinds and bear
beautiful cones in their top
branches. Their foliage some
what resembles that of the valley
and coast white fir.
Mr. Culver stopped at the top
of the ridge as there was no hope
of . approaching his bear in that
tree covered thicket. Besides, he
was a good hunter and a good
hunter frequently stops to look
and listen. He had just seated
himself on a log and had decided
to wait, possibly for Mr. Bear to
come out, when a bluejay began
scolding with all his might at
something In the thicket below.
When a bluejay scolds, you can't
tell what he is scolding about. It
may be a small squirrel or a big
black bear.
Hunter Culver sat very still on
his log and critically viewed the
forest of Noble firs in front of
him. Some of these trees were
unusually large and tall for No
ble firs and their tops were almost
level with the top of the ridge
where "Jimmy" was sitting and
as the setting sun cast its rays
upon the compact clusters of long
symmetrical, dark green cones at
the top branches of almost every
tree, he marveled at their beauty.
Shadow Climbs Tree
Then suddenly a limb "cracked"
and broke on one of the trees.
Faintly through the brush he
could see a dark object beginning
to climb the tree. His heart be
gan to beat more rapidly for there
right in front he would soon have
a perfect shot at old Mr. Bruin
He quickly examined his gun to
see that it was in proper order
He kept trying to get a better
view of the climbing bear, but
other trees partly obstructed his
view. He finally cocked his gun
and decided to chance a shot
fearing that the bear would climb
down out of sight at any moment
But he remembered a bear is
hard to kill and unless you shoot
him in a vital spot he will run
away and possibly die a lingering
death. So the hunter decided to
wait for a clear view when the
bear would reach some more open
places in the tree's foliage and
above the other trees. He slowly
stood up with cocked gun in hand
to get a better view. Jnst at that
moment the black figure climbed
Into the open space face toward
"Jimmy, who almost dropped his
gun. 'The black object was a
man, a college, professor who was
making that difficult climb to get
some of those fare, beautiful
cones. : ., '
Mr. Culver was so unnerved by
the incident, he said later, that he
sat weak and trembling on the
log for some time before he had
strength enough to rise and re
turn to camp. He told this story
on himself as a warning to young
er hunters and to show them how
much care, they must, exercise in
the Woodsbefore shooting at any
moving object.
