POSSESSION OF CAMP
LOCAL PEOPLE HAVE AX
EXPERIENCE WITH BHUIN
C. 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. -

successfully raised without irrigation
on the uplands in the vicinity of Lau
rel, 10 miles north of here. This fact
has been demonstrated on the ranches
of J. s. Peek, Wesley Shockler, J.
Wyaska, C. C. Grover and others. Two
years ago the fields were seeded to
alfalfa as an experiment, and today
the stands are In full bloo;.t and over
two feet high. Dry land seed was
used and the soil inoculated from
' an old alfalfa field near the Colum
bia river.
The yield of these test tracts is pre
dicted at three tons to the arce. There
are hundreds of acres of brush lands
in the Laurel and other districts that
will be cleared and seeded to .alfalfa,
introdusing new upland country for
lalrying with little expense.
CARRIED ROLL IX HIS
SOCK AXD IS ROBBED
Memphis, Tenn. R. "W. Rodecken
liveryman, Chattanooga. Tenn.,
thought his sock a safe hiding place
for his "roll" amounting to $270, en
route on train from Birmingham,
Ala., to Jonesboro. Ark.
As the train was nearing Memphis
early today, Rodecker awakened, but
found no money. A searcn was made
of several suspects on the train, but
no money, was found. Seeing a man
emerge from the toilet of the coach
the conductor of the Frisco train made
a search and found $170 hidden away
on top of the water tank of the car.
A thorough search was made by De
tectives Horan and Nolen on arrival
of the train did not reveal the missing
one hundred-dollar Dili, and two
youths who were taken Into custody
when the train reached Memphis were
set at liberty.
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-

Washington. Women stenograph

In the government service. This an

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

the states and territories.
This examination is for the pur
pose of recruiting only men stenog

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

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.
