J. Mitchell ana Charles Cole With Fitmilice Return to Cmup to Kind Sliaggy Animal in Possession The Hear Still Roams the Wilds. C. J. Mitchell, manager of the Oregon theater, is authority for the most Interesting bear story of the season. Mitchell arrived this morn ing from Lehman Springs, where he had been for a few days with Mrs. Mitchell and the baby for an outing. According to his account of what happened, he and his wife, in com pany with Charles Cole and wife, also of this city, had driven from Lehman Springs over to Cable creek to spend the day. Upon arriving at their des tination they ate a luncn, after which the two men sauntered off up the creek in search of fish, while the two women went in the opposite direction to look for huckleberries. The women returned to camp first and were surprised to find a good sized black bear helping himself to the remainder of their noonday meal. After the manner of their sex, they let out a series of blood curdling screams which brought the men on the run from about a quarter of a mile up stream. tAll the guns car ried by the party with the exception of a 22, were in the wagon, which for the time being, was in possession of the bear. The women were accom panied by Mrs. Cole's dog, "Laddie," and at the approach of the men the dog U?oam? bold enough to run at the bear. Not being experienced in bear fighting, he received a cuff on the J side of the head which nearly tore off an ear. With blood spurting from his lacerated head and howling with pain the dog returned to the women for protection while the bear archied off !nto a thicket and disappeared. The men secured their rifles and went in pursuit but nothing more was seen of him. - DRV LAXD GROWS ALFALFA. Estimated Yield of Three Tons to Acre at Hustim. Husum, Wash.

Englishmen Smoke Less. London. Englishmen are smoking less as well as drinking less. The In creased duties on tobacco are re. sponsible for a remarkable decrease In the consumption of al! forms of tobacco, and the falling off Is strik- lngly shown In official statistics. The home consumption of tobacco from May 1 to April 30, 1908-09, was over 102,000,000 pounds; while for the corresponding period in 1909-10 !t was only some 92,000,000 pounds. Up to the time Lloyd George's famous Budget there had been a steady in crease at the rate of about 2,000,000 pounds per annum. lmi- Misfortunes pursue Count Zeppelin persistently; yesterday his gas plant was wrecked.

Women stenograph ers apparently no longer are wanted In the government service. This an nouncement was made recently at the civil service commission in an effort to put n stop to a steadily Increasing flood of lettrs from women through out the country who seek informa tion about an examination for stenog raphers to be held next Tuesday In all the states and territories. This examination is for the pur pose of recruiting only men stenog raphers and typists, and demand for whom the civil service commission has been unable to meet. Practically all the various depart ments of the government are seeking to replace women stenographers with men on the ground that the men are more nmenable to discipline, are more easily transferred to places where their services are needed and can he drafted morereadily into other kinds of work. HARLAN FOR CHIEF JUSTICE. Oldest Justice Is Deserving of That Honor. Washington. It is believed by many that Associate John Marshall Harlan, the ranking member of the United States supreme court, may be elevat ed to the chief justiceship by Presi dent Taft, when he comes to fill the place left vacant by the death of Chief Justice Fuller. No thought was given to Justice Harlan when this office first became vacant, but It Is learned that the great Kentucklan, head and shoulders above all his col li agues on the supreme bench, both physically and judicially, covets this appointment and would like to round out his Judicial career at the head of the court of which ho has been a member nearly 33 years. President Taft is personally fond Qf Justice Harlan, and the two are quite intimate. Moreover, it Is known that the president has a high regard for Harlan's ability as a Judge. Justice Harlan probably would occupy that place only a short while, and would likely retire before the close of Presi dent Taft's term. Promotion Has Been Earned. Few men of the Judiciary In these days stand as high In the estimation of the country as Justice Harlan. He has been one of the bulwarks of the supreme court during the whole of his long and honorable career. Some of its most Important , decisions have been written by him, and on all Intri cate eases hiscounsel weighs heavy with his colleagues. If long and faith ful service ever earned promotion for any man, Justice Harlan nas earned promotion to the chief Justiceship and the president may consider this when he comes to fill the vacancy. In two years, if he lives. Justice Harlan will have broken all records fop longevity of service on the su preme bench, and, if promoted, it is believed he would retire soon after he eclipsed the record. His desire to es tablish a new record Is about as keen as his desire to become chief Justice and should he attain both ends, he would be perfectly content to retire to enjoy his remaining days in ease and comfort. Leadership Is RcooRiiiwxI. Justice Harlan, as has been said In these dispatches heretofore, is the last of the "old school" nn the supreme bench. His name and his fame are better known by far than that of any of his remaining associates, and, with the late Justice Brewer, he has been for years recognized as a leader of the highest trigunal in the land. President Taft, In appointing Jus tice Harlan as chief justice, would not only honor the court, but, honor the nation's most honored judge and one who bears the name and revcrs the memory of the greatest chief jus tice in the history of the court, John Marshall, BEAR TERRIFIES A CAMP. Bruin Carries Awny Pigs, and Scares llio Employes of Lumber Camp. Libby, Mont. A large brown bear has got on the nerves of the em ployees of the logging camp of the Dawson Lumber company, just a few miles south of Libby. Not being sat isfied with all the slops that are thrown out from the cook house, his bruinship broke Into the camp pigpen a fw nights ago and carried away a fine young porker. Although one of the bovs at the camp has taken sev eral shots at the bear, he doesn't seem to mind it, and still continues to make his trip nightly. One of the camp boys met up wltn the bear late one night last weeK while returning from Libby, and he swears that the bear was as big as a horse, and as a result there are not as many of the boys coming Into Lib by from that camp as heretofore. While returning to Libby last Fri day night Forest Guard George Blackwell killed two cub bears. He distributed the meat among his friends in Libby, and it was much enjoyed Inasmuch as there Is no meat market here since the last fire. One of the olfl trappers of the Lib by district stated that there are more bear reported being seen in this dis trict this year than for many years. He says he attributes the Influx of bear to the fact that there are so many forest fires Just over the range from this district than ever before.

Philadelphia's Little Italy had a great celebration recently In honor of the home-coming of Joe Grim. Hugh Mcintosh has arranged to take Sandy Ferguson to Australia and match him against Bill Squires. Sam Langford, the Boston "Tar Baby" still looks to be the only fight er in sight capable of giving John Arthur Johnson a real tangle. Tod Nelson, the Australian, has signed to meet Willie Lewis in New York July 26. San Francisco promoters are try ing to arrange a 10-rpund bout, with no decision between Sam Langford and Al Kaufman. Outside of murders, lynchlngs, sui cides, highway rlbbery, embezzlement and a few hundred thousand people going broke, the Reno fight did no harm to speak of. Blows struck at Reno. Those who have figured- out the July Fourth fight have found that Jeffries delivered 24 effective blows, that Johnson handed the white man 77. The black alone used the upper cut, nine blows of this Kind being credited to him. In the last round the expert report ers at the ringside tallied seven blows to the Jaw struck by Johnson Jef fries delivering none and then losing count they fell back upon the des criptive phrase: "Johnson rained rights and lefts."
