PAC« OUT-OF-DOORS STUFF <— . By Lans Leneve “This waa sent to me. Put it in your collection« It's a bear of a bear sto-y." This little note I received last weak, together with the bear story, from a brother sportsman, ]*. A. Pook. I am very grateful for the story and I kiow that all the readers will agree with Mr. Pook that it is a “bear of a beer story.” Well, here it is: “Captain C. S. Leary, chief govern ment whip in the British Columbia leg'slature, stirs the Yuletide log and sei ds these sparks up the chimney: Once he caught a bear by the tail— bu. here is now he tells it: I was hunting pheasants with a fox terrier near Burton City, in Southeastern British Columbia. Not a sign of game did I see, but on the way back I heard the hoot of an owl and took a shot at it as it perched on an old cedar eighty feet up. It toppled over and I went to get it, but it was not to be found. The cedar was rotted and had broken off, so I decided Mr. Hooter lay atop and I climbed up, leaving my gun. The big tree was as. I looked, down I hollow ended up at the bottom. slipped There lay my owl. I couldn't climb out and it was late afternoon. I had a two-bladed hunting knife and de cided the only thing to do was to cut through the tree. Snap went the blade. I opened the other. Just then I heard my dog growling—-then a yelp and all was quiet. It was get ting dark and I could see tile atara through the opening at the top. Then a cloud seemed to obscure them. A dark object started down- ,.„ward and I knew I was in a bear’s bedroom, with only a small blade in close quarters. I had to do some thing in a hurry and I Mid. As Bruin came within reach I grabbed his tail, jabbed him in the rump with the blade and yelled like a Comanche In dian. He stopped for a split second and started up again. Hanging onto his tail, jabbing and yelling, I went up with him. When he got to the top he tumbled over and nearly took me with him. I was afraid to ven ture down in the darkness and perched on top until daylight. By that time the good folk of Burton' City had organized a searching party and found a dead dog, killed by the bear, a dead black bear with his neck broken and myself shivering 30 feet 1.» up. Tnlro Take U it milk with a a zrvoln grain of oral* salt or a cellar full, but believe it or not, it is tru». You can ask people in Bur ton City.” Yep, that’s a darned good bear story—no doubt of it. Hope Mr. Pook digs up another one for us in the near future. consideration. I never travel any where or have to get to any place fast enough, no matter how important the mission may be, that I am unable to slow down on speed and even stop if necessary, rather than endanger the life of a human being or some family's pet, whether it be a dog or vn old black rooster..

A. Warren, president of Safeway Stores, Inc., said in a state ment issued today on the present tax crisis. “Specific taxes by themselves,” Mr. Warren said, “may not appear bur- iensome, although in view of the un ceasing effort to impose new taxes it ihould be remembered that the total tax burden is constantly absorbing a treater share of the national income. “As a matter of fact it is estimated hat the 1935 national tax bill will be n excess of 350 per cent above the 1913 level. The year previous the country’s tax bill amounted to S».- 500,000.000, whereas the national in come totaled only »47.600.000,000 This means that taxes absorbed 20 per cent of the total national income. “Even the most simple analysis Wi'l eveal to any thinking citizen that the ndividual consumer must, in the long run, pay the bill. It means that 1 constantly increasing share of the ndividual income will be inevitably absorbed by an ever-heavier tax- burden. “Economic recovery, as a conse- qucnce, will be blocked, for in the final reckoning the properity of the nation is based on the properity of its .ndividual citizens. “It is false logic to expect any busi ness to operate'under an oppressive tax burden for if the tax,to suffi ciently heavy to erase all profit and substitute a loss, evil consequences, such as increased prices, unemploy ment, or a diminution of the tax base result, and as a consequence the con sumer, as always, is forced to pay the tax bill in the form of a higher cost of living,” Mr. Warren concluded. is the one and ONLY publication with the knowledge, experience and courage to><ive tragive you every week the first-hand, flrat-hand, inaidelnformation inaide Information which is positively necessary for you to have.
