Coquille High Playa at
Bandon This Evening
A test will be met at Bandon to
night when Coquille’s Red Devils go
to that city to encounter th* high
school basket ball team in a game
which should be very hard fought.
For some reason Bandon always
rises to a high pitch when playing Co
quille and, though in the last two
years they have not won from the red
and white, every encounter has been
a real affair. This season they have
been defeated three times, while Co
quille ha* won one and lost one. Ac
cording to dope th* locals should win,
but then “one never can tell.”

“So you want a hunting or Ashing

the big black bear and the brown cub.
Many years ago, bwo or us were
hunting deer in the eastern part of
this county.
* We were hunting
through the green timber, around the
heads of draws that were dense with
salmon berry thickets. It was a pret

unexpected manner. From a brushy
ticket came a snarl and a snapping of
twig*. There was a large log nearby
and we climbed upon it
Here we
could get a better view. The growl
continued and the brush was cracking,
as the mother bear made her way up
the slope. Every now and then she
would slop, seeking to wind us. I
whispered to my companion that she
was going to climb upon the same log
with ue as it was the only one lying
in her path and it was a foregone con
clusion that she would spring upon it.
Though carrying a big 45-90 Win
chester, my companion was sure
scared. He was fairly shaking and
his eyes were as big as saucers. We
stood with our guns to our ahouldeTs,
our sights trained on the end of the
log that the enraged bear was ap
proaching.
"There was a last savage snarl, a
gnashing of teeth and the beast rared
up at the end of the log.
And wbat
a bear it was! Both front feet were
placed on the log; it’s big mouth was
open and the froth flying from long
yelllow fangs. It was a sight I’ll nev
er forget. Owing to the sloping skull
of the big beast it was impossible to
try and shoot it between the eyes.
We both drew down on its sticking
place and fired. I know that I struck
the animal exactly in the sticking
place and I fail to see how my com

Finally I managed to release my fin-
gem and swam back to the boat minus
the fish.”
Now, folks, I consider that a real
fish story and one that should not be
suppressed, in spite of dir* threat*.
Was somewhat amused upon reading
an article by an eastern sportsman, in
which he and his companion drifted
down a river for several day*. During
this time they stopped at different
field* along the shore and shot wood
chuck*. For these animals, they were
using big 30-06 rifles. Shots were made
all the way from 50 up to 250 yards
and to cap the climax, a bird’s head
was shot off clear across the wide
river, by a well directed shot with a
45 automatic pistol. Well, probably
if the onlly game w* had to shoot in

do.

way as far a* Fat Elk and look*the
ducks over. If there are even half as
many there as there were last Sun
day, you’re going to be well repaid fbr
the trip. Hundreds of the bird* were
feeding within shot-gun range of the
highway on both the north and south
side of the road. They sure seem to

The whirling presses of the govern
