(From Enterprise.) the Commercial Club at its regular mee -iug last week took up tbe matter ot a better water system, and fiom the progress that bits been made siuoe tbe meeting it looks like we are sure to have a line water system iu tbe near future. We heard quite an interesting acci dent to the party that camped ou the Little White Salmon last week. Mr. Aokley tells ua that he bad one ot the most exciting bear chases now on record. He and tlve dogs chased a bear for more than two miles through the brash. Mi. Ackley says be could have killed tbe bear easily had It not been for tbe dogs. He was afraid to shoot unless be could get olose enough to be sure ot missing the dogs. A E. Woolpert sent a box ot white grubs to tbe agi iculturnl department at Washington. D.

C. buydor, of lie Cameron country, paused through town en route for Hood Kivex last Wednesday. White Salmon has niauy intereuting amusements, but tbe la'eet feature was a light between a bear and a man, or rutber a woull be tight as the man took very little part in tbe enoounter. Walter Freeland, who bas seen con siderable sign ot tbe biulu tribejuear his ranob of lat , took his gun and proceeded to search for Mr. Bear's whereabouts. Not Uuding him as goon as be expected be proceeded to waste all bis ammunition except two shells ou coyotes aud other game whioh we will not mention beie. On arriving at tbe spring where the milk and but ter in kept be found Mr. Hear busily engaged trying to get a square meal and invited tbe gentlemen to quit bis premises at once. And Ibis is how it came about. The bear insists that Walter insulted him by shooting him in tbe flank with a title and be there upon made for Walter with Intent to kill. Walter knowing tbe bear's in tention and aeeiug his sepnhber down the beat's throat he tried to fall in before Mr. Hear could bury big teeth in his sklu. Hut as the distonoe was farther than Walter thought be tell on the ground just in time for Mr. Bear to get in a few good scratobes with bis sharp claws and taking his victim for dead be weut on his way.

EARLY VARIETIES GO TO ENGLAND The first sale of apples to be teport ed by the Hood Rivet Apple Growers' Union took place last week when D. Orossley & Sons, of New York and Boston, secured tbe early fall varieties controlled by tbe anion. Tbe pur chase includes tbe Wealtbies, Kings and Graven6teins and was made on a basis tbat was very satisfactory to tbe boaid of directors. The consignment consists of 12 to 11 cars and will be sent to England. Al ready a good part of the fruit la on the way to New York, where it ia ex pected to nu.ke close connection with steamers sailing from tbat point and is expected to be on tbe London and Liverpool markets within three weeks from tbe time It is shipped from Hood Kiver. Ibe early apples are said to be ot flue quality tbia year, but were pioked a little earlier than baa hereto fore been tbe rule. It is found tbat tbey mature and ship bettor by being bandied in this way and command a better price. Tbe experiment made by tbe union two years ago of shipping these early varieties of apples to Englaud was such a success tbat it H likely tbat tbey will hereafter be sont there every year. Tbey arrive on the markets there at a time when tbe apple mar ket is comparatively bareot tbia fruit, as all of tbe old crop bas become ex hausted and tbe early Canadian apples wbiob supply tbe English trade until the wluter varieties are received, do not arrive until sometime later. The Crossly Arm bandied tbe applis two years ago when they were shipped across tbe Atlantio and believe tbat it they are bandied tbls way every year so that tbe trade tbete will expect them there it will create a standing demand at a good flgnre. The fruit bas been packed and graded with extra care this year ac cording to tbe instructions of tbe di rectors who adopted a resolution at one of tbeir meetings some weeks ago to put a finer grade aud a better pack of apples tbls year than has ever been shipped out of Hood Kiver. As yet no winter varieties have been sold, although buyers are oommenolng to feel out tbe situation aud are try ing to get a line on what growers ex peot for tbeir fiuit this year. Tbey are watching for any sales that may be made at Hood Kiver with extra vigilance and much correspondence is being received asking for information tbat will keep them in touch with tbe conditions here.
