Pooley, president of the Hood River Gun Club, is In th« wilds of Georgia, winning fame as a beer hunt er this winter. Mr. Pooley’s letters to his old friend, R. W. Kelly, causes one fo think of the profound sentiments of the late “Mlstah“ Bert WilllnniH. pro nounced in his deep bass voice: "Out upon the mountain tops, far from the eyes of cops.’’ Mr. Pooley. however, says he is unable to approach flic rec ord of the “King of the Okefenokee." He’ sent along the following clipping about that hunter of noted prowess: Perry Barber, son of the late Oba diah Barber, known as the "King of the Okefenokec" a<.d prince of l>ear hunters, is followiug in bls father's footateiM -B-irn owd raised on fb« edge of the great vwnmp of sout'-.

The bruin measured six feet from the heel to the tip of his nose and is suid to have weighed 500 |x>unds. The sport, however, was in its gold en age many years ago. when there were thousands of iwars In the swamp. Oltadiah Barber frequently related ac counts of his adventures with t>enrs that furnished as thrilling nadlnj, matter as ever appeared In print, ac cording to experienced sportsmen here. Barber sometimes exhibited to his friends the pawn of monster black I wars as trophies of his prowess. How on one occasion he Is said to bave killed a large black beer with a light wood knot has become one of the tra ditions of the wtregrass section. It was late In the day wbeu rhe king of the Okefenokee wandered into the swamp without his trusty rifle. Com ing down from a cypress tree, lie raw a huge ts*ar which apparently was about to attack him. Certain that bruin Intended to tight. Barber aeraired a substantial light wood-knot. and. as the benr ndvauced to grapple with him. struck the animal a blow on the head which stretched it lifeless. In discussing the Incident, the prince of bear hunters stated that although he rather enjoyed the en counter. he preferred his gun as a rule when fighting liears.

The man had bls clothing torn but escaped without injury. He later killed the bear with a rifle. Bar ber weighed 250 pounds, was six feet three inches in height, and his muscle stood out like bands of steel, so that his contests with liears were uot al together on unequal terms. Back In the old days of Georgia pol itics, Barber ran for representative of Ware county as an Independent can didate. When defeated, he took up the trail that leads to the black bear's retreat and never again followed the trail that sometimes leads to public office. ____ _ One of the disconcerting things that modern science has been doing lately ia to whack a lot of traditions and aca demic controversies dear into limbo. Such is the case with that historic dis cussion : "Which is the mother of the chick, the hen that lays the egg or the mother that site on itT* Correct an swer is, “Neither one.” Little Mrs. Kilowatt now etaims the honors and title therefor. The modern electric incubator has scrambled things so that the chick itself doesn’t know whether it te a fowl or watt. Electricity has recently become very popular In the poultry industry. In cubator installations on the lines of companies serving chicken ranches vary In size from 500-egg capacity to 500.000 total capacity. There is in op eration in the middle west a hatchery of 1.606.000 egg capacity. The cost of brooding chirk« electric ally varies from 01.00 to 01.56 per 100 chicks. This cost is based on eight weeks in the brooder. It has been demonstrated that the steady adjust able heat provided by eieriricity la superior to any other form of beating. George Tonkin, federal game war den for the district of southern Idaho and eastern Oregon, with beadquar ters at Baker, spent one day last week in The Dalle« together with C. W. Longbery. of the state game en forcement department, conferring over Illegal storage of gamer in that city. In thia connection they visited meat markets and all cold storage planta. "The federal law," said Mr. Ton kin, “provides that all game obtained by hunters shall be consumed within 10 days after the season closes or be confiscated by representatives of the federal government. This ruling ap plies to migratory birds protected by the migraUvy bird treaty act. It does not apply to up-land birds or deer protected by the state game laws. The state game lawn, however, do also protect the migratory birds.

Mr. Tonkin and Mr. Loqftery, while In The Dalles, visited W. O.

The Klickitat county game commis sion has power to close, open or short en seasons on game birds, fur bearing animals or game flsh, and also to fix the bag limits. Believing in the protection, propa gation and preservation of game flsh within Klickitat county, the commis sion has made the changes before mentioned. Geo. M.
