Home from Philippines
J. 0. North, son of V. II. North, ur
rived in the city last night with hi fath
er who ha been at San Francisco to

visit to tht city and lie lias Just re

where he ha been for the past two

Bear Hunters Excited
The bear liunteri ol this city are con
slderably worked up over the fact that
J, 0. C rat ens wounded large black
bear last Sunday In the Loug lake coun
try. The bear wa one ol the largett of
the kind and had wintered on the ridge
east of the lake. After being ahot It
made II way into the" thick brush and
the trail wi lost. The dog that Mr.
Crateni had with him would not take

lie Hint back to Ihe place )etlerday
with another dog but the storm of the
preceding night had obliterated the trait
so that the dog could not take the scent.
Today M. II. Wampler and a party with
four bear dogs are out In the wood look
ing for the w minded bear. The place
where it was found I not more than ten
miles frrm town and Ihe hunter are
surprired that a bear would winter so
close tocitilization. It is quite probable
that Mr. Warnplerand hit party will
bring in the bear as the wound caused
the lots of so much blond that It could
not go far.
Many Ducks and Qeese
I'artie who hate been out on the
lake ray t,hat there are more duck and
geete hatching on the Klamath marshes
thl year than there ha been for several
year. The game bird of this country
need better protection than they have
had. The deputy game warden cannot
la expected to protect the entire county.
An organization of the nimrod should
be formed for the purpose of asslstiog
Ihe game warden In the protection ol
the bird, and to use iti effort! for the
perpetuation of the game and fish supply
of the entire county. Some few bird
are killed nut of season, but this viola
tion of the law will not extirpate the
supply. It is the burning of tulea dur
ing the nesting eeoron and Ihe robbing
of nest that cuts down the number of
birds. Frequently the report I beard
that parties went out into the marsh
and gathered several dozen duck and
geese eggs. An effort should be put
forth to atop tho robbing of nests, and
thta effort can be made more effective if
It It backed by the gun club or lome
other similar organization.
T. E. Smith and wife, who have been
here since laat October, left here thl
morning going to Portland where they
will reside
. Yesterday noon V. O. Haton, of the
tang fake Lumber Co., and Govern
ment Foreater II. D. Foater started for
Odessa in Mr. Hoton'i launch and when
they failed to reach there it wa feared
that tbey had been wrecked.
A strong wind wa blowing yetterJay
aod It w thought that their boat waa
capsized or that aoraetbrng broke on the
engine and that tbey were stranded.
When tbey did not reach there thl
morning George Gregory started down
in a launch coming along the west tide
of the lake. He arrived beta this even
ing and stated that he saw nothing of
them or their boat.
This evening telephone meeeage
waa received from the Doak ranch to
the effect that tbey were at the ranch
safe and sound. The engine on the boat
gave out and they went to this ranch
foi food and shelter. Much fear aod ex
citement prevailed as it was feared that
tbey had been capsiied sad probably
drowned.
Will Go to Dorrls
Many people from this city are plan
ning. o attend, the big caUbratloat at
Dorrls on Friday and Saturday. Derrb
will have a big tune, bat all who are go
ing from here should eogage roosts
ahead of time or else take cazcp ootllt
for the town will not have accommoda
tions tor the big crowd. The people of
the new town wilt do the bast they can
under the circumstance, bat the best
will probably not be any toe good.
