The weather of the past week has been quite freakish, raining and snowing and blowing by turns mid altogether. The net result nt Henri is one to four inches of snow , in sM)ts, though most of the ground is bare and the mercury stands above the freezing point. Saturday there were nbout four inches of snow, but it mostly dis appeared Sunday. Monday morn ing was blustery, with snow Hint soon turned to rain. Tuesday was nbout the same, but at night it snowed furiously and before mid night there were fully five inches of nil us once there will be no trouble ORDERS for business, ELKINS & KING. FOR THIS the benutifu! spread over the ground. Haiti followed anri soon reduced the blanket to tatters. About two inches of moisture fell that night. Since then the weath er has been cloudy and threatening most of the time, n few droiw of rain or a few flakes of snow fulling occasionally. The lowest tenieraturc was Sun day morning, iH above zero, and the higest temperature of the week was 58 on Saturday. Up the river more snow fell mid at the Vauricvert place and further south the snow fall was reported at 16 inches, though but n small part of that remains. The snow extend ed only about two miles out from Henri on the l'riiiuville road, Prom there to Shauiko it whs ruin and plenty of it. The roitd between I'riucville and Shnuiko is reported very bad. Mr. Wiast is having considerable work done on his homestead, clear ing several acres of the sagebrush and preparing for tilling the laud and fencing it. Miner Lewis, of Portland, John Combs auri Kd Jerome, of Prino- villc, auri Frank Dcviue, of Albuuy, were at the Pilot Hutto Inn Mon day, on their way to Silver Lake, to attend to laud matters. A Haptist Union Sunday school wus organized at the Henri school house last Sunday afternoon, with Thomas W. Triplett as suoriu tcudciit. It is expected to organize the classes the coming Sunday. Charlie Birdsoug, who was nt work on the Swnlley ditch, nnri his sisters, Misses Minnie anri Nellie, who ran a cooking tent, left lust week for their home on Johnson creek, above Priucvillc, Joseph Taggert, formerly a hotel man of Hcmiriji, Minnesota, arrived Wednesday night to look over con ditions about Henri.

Mr. Wicst seized his gun and slew both hawk nnri chicken nt one snot. inc chicken made n meal for the fnuiily instead of for the hawk. HOW KBVBK KILLBI) TUB HUAR. Dog n Valuable Amlstnnt and Thought llo Old It all. John L. Kcver killed n bear Mon day, lie gave hnlf of the carcass to the Tripletts for helping to pack the whole out of the lava lcri and a large part of the lomniuriar went to Mr. Kever's frienris Who have a tooth for Iwar meat. Hilly Hrock, coming down the loud Sunday nlwut dusk,' saw the bear some distance above Wet weather Springs. Hruiu was mak ing tracks for the river. Mr. Hrock was not cqulpixid for hunt ing bear so he came on. Next morning Mr. Kever heard of it and started out with dog and gun. He found the bear trail where Hrock linri rojtortcd it and the do follow ed it wTth"'little difficulty, though the trucks were covered with a light snow. The bear had gone out in the edge of the lava between Lava butte and the river. Sunday night the beast slept there about j miles from the point where he crossed the wagon road. After Hint the trail was fresh anri the dog showed great interest in it. Soon he en me upon the lx.nr and marie the fact known by ferocious barking. The bear held his ground and the dog was very discreet un til Mr. Kcver came in sight and urged him on. turned to run nnri Then the bear the dog nabtcd him. Up a tree went bruin, but when he saw the hunter coming he leapt down anri tried to get away. Hut when he would flee the dog was upon him auri when he turned to fight the riog was at a distance. Again the bear went up a tree to get clear of his tormentor anri again he came down us the hunter hove in sight. It was anything but easy traveling over the sharp lava rocks and through the dense mauzauita bushes. A third time the bear went up a tree. Kever saw his prcy,thVj.timq be fore the boar was moved to the point of jumping down. Pausing a few moments to get his breath auri n steady aim, he fired to break the bear's neck, and the shot went home. Down he came in n heap and the dog was upon him instant ly. When the hunter enmc up the prourietit dog in Oregon welcomed him to mm. what had been accom plished. After Kever had cut the bear's throat the generous dog recognised the trophy as a partner ship affair, but his pride was not one whit abated. The bear was a brown one nnri his weight dressed was near 200 pounds. The skin is a beauty, auri the flesh proved quite a trout to those who had a chance at it. This was Mr. Kever's first bear. It was nlso the dog's first adventure of this kind. The dog is prouder than his master over the achievement. This, without doubt, is the swtne bear thnt wus nt II. L. McCauu's homcktcfid Friday night of Unt week. The McCnnn's live on sec tion 1 of 19-12. They recently ar rived from Minnesota and while their cabin is building they occupy a tent. The family had, among other things, honey for the supper Friday night auri what was loft was. set on n table against one side of the tent inside. The bear came up to the tent nnri pushed his nose against the cloth wall noar the honey. That upset the table and marie a great racket which aroused the faimily anri also evidently scared the bear, for when Mr. Mc Caun got out to investigate he saw only n blnck speck retreating in the distance. His horses were fright ened away auri two riays later were found nearly 10 miles to the south ward. That bear moved over to ward the river and soon fell before Kever's dog and gun at n point nbout eight miles west of the Mc Cann place. PLUNOBI) IN TUB DBSCMUIBS. Rough Bxperlcnce of Robert Hoys Returning from Momcutcud. The Roberts boys, Millson and JJlwoori, returned Tuesday night from their homesteads in 22-9. Their brother Thomas accompanied them on thuir trip. They had plenty 01 experience on tneir way down. The three left Millson's home stead on the west fork, or Big river, Sunday morning, floating down in a new boat built there. They found fine shooting Sunday and bagged a 200-pouud buck, a swan auri a lot of ducks. They made camp at the foot of Fish Traps Sunday night. Monday morning they started early auri soon struck a snag. The bout swung around broadside to the swift current and was Ixutom side up in a jiffy. The water is a dozen feet deep there and the men had opportunity tb grope around quite awhile before getting to the surface. Hut all finally came up auri got hold of the taut before it escatcd down the stream. About 100 yards down the stream they succeeded in touching shore when the bout was righted. The buck stuck to the boat but all the rest of the game was gone. The rifle and nmuuition went to the bottom of the stream, with pro visions, a grip full of extra clothing auri some tools. Several miles be low the roll of blankets anri the swan were recovered, where they had caught on some snags at the river bank. It whs snowing furiously auri the men had no dry matches to light a fire nor axe to cut wood. So they pushed on, hoping to reach Allen's place, 40 miles below, by night. Hut when George Hatcs's cabin was reached, about 5 o'clock, the men were so cold and hungry they coukl go no further and they broke into the cabin with some difficulty. There they found dry matches and built a fire and got warm anil dry. They had a good meal of venison and spent the night in reasonable comfort. Itlwood Roberts, who had lost his hat in the upset, found a boy's hat at the atbiu, which, though a misfit, sufficed to protect hi head until he reached home. Tuesday tlie party resumed the voyage and reached Allen's a little before noon. From that point they walked to town, a distance of 16 miles. It was snowing and slip jwry auri it took them six hours to cover the distance. They were somewhat atifT-Ruri lame but other wise uninjured by their experience. It was a narrow escape. It snowed everyday the Robortses were up in the woods and there is now a foot auri a half of snow on the level, but the weather is not colri. Came is plentiful.
