His Experience Would Seem to DiS'
prove the Ides That the Monarch
of the Woods Hesitates to At
tack Human Beings.
Harold Farley, ot BU.ghasn. is will
ing to take oath “on a stack of Bibles”
that the man who says bears will not
attack human beings are nature fakers
of the worst sort. Harold was attacked
by a bear one night and had to burn
his shirt and nearly everything else
; he had on at the time to save himself
from the critter's quick-lunch counter.
As the hero ot this astounding yarn
tells it. he was on his way to Preble &
; Robinson’s logging, camp No. 4 in the
Deadwater region, eight miles above
j Bingham, where he is employed as a
' chopper. He had been home for a
i change of underwear and had started
at dusk for the eight-mile tramp
through the woods to camp, carrying
a lantern to cheer and light his way.
When within half a mile of camp
j Farley stumbled into a birch top that
1 had fallen across his path, and as he
stumbled in an immense bear stum
bled out—a sort of superdreadnaught
bear—which gave one growl and one
! swipe, scaring Farley and putting his
lantern out. Two more “ woof, woof”
remarks from the bear and Farley lit
out for the nearest tree, up which he
( went with speed and agility that as
tounded both himself and the bear.
Now comes the brand-new and red-
hot part of the story—good for moving
j pictures. Farley had climbed high,
but the bear seemed bound to get him.
and there wasn't even time for pray
ers. There was time, however, for
Farley’s wits, sharpened by peril, to
j get busy, and he thought of an old
| hunter's remark that bears can't stand
j the smell of burning cloth. So he took
| one of the several clean handkerchiefs
ho had brought from home, touched a
I match to it and let it drop on the
bear’s nose. That helped some. The
bear growled deeper than evor and
j paused ten seconds in his climb.
Thus went Farley's stock of hand-
kerchiefs, but the bits of Came served
merely to postpone the dread mo-
ment when a bear worth not more than
$30 would be lunching on a woodsman
who could earn that much in a month,
besides board. Farley decided to sac
rifice his shirt—his outer shirt. That
was more effective.
It stayed the
bear's advance fully one minute. Then
a red flannel undershirt. About equal
results.
Next—but at this moment the camp
crew, who had observed the flickers of
flame in the tree top-and heard Far
ley's yells for help, came along with
poles and axes and chased the bear
away.
"That’s a true story—every gosh-
| darned word of it,” says Farley, “and
them as don’t taka no stock Into it

—The United States Geological Sur
vey will shortly publish a compre
hensive bulletin on Washington's
coal resources, bringing together in
one report what has heretofore been
printed in fragments. The bulletin
is being prepared by Dean Henry
Landes, of the college of science,
during his year's leave of absence.
New fields, such as the Whatcom
county anthracite and Lewis county
lignite beds, will be the subject of
discussion in the report, in addition
to the better known King, Fierce a u d
Kittitas county fields.
Washington coal operators are feel
ing the competition of the California
oil fields, according to Dean Landes,
but the mines are nevertheless fairly
prosperous.
The hard coal of Washington will
draw only conservative comment.
Dean Landes describes it as in the
prospective stage, and says only de
velopment work will tell the story of
quantity and quality.
