Ah this Is the. true story of one
boar, Instead of the old tale of three
benrs, It won't be possible to go any
further with tbo first story, but this
comoH about the nearest to a reversal
of the "Sllverlocks" legend of any
so far reported.
George lllohn, owner of the Ford
garage. Is nlso the owner of two vory
Inquisitive bear cubs. It Is Impossi
ble to lenvo a door of the house open,
or one of the bears will walk right In
to visit with the family. Mrs. Ulehn
has been forced to can all her fruit
and vegetables with doors shut tight,
to avoid the assistance of-1 lie bears.
A few days ago Mrs. Ulehn had occa
sion to leuve, and as usual, she care
fatly closed and locked all the' doors.
While she was gone, Mr. Ulohn camo
home, and on leaving ho forgot tho
necessary locklug up. He left the
kitchen door unlatched and the Birceu
door n llttlo ajar.
It didn't take one little bear long
to 11 nd this out, and ho was much de
lighted when he found he coiild opon
both doors. On his ui rival inside,
things began to happen. First ho
strolled Into tho dining room and
pulled a cut glass dish of flowers off
the table, and was so disgusted to
find that they were not good to eat
that he strewed them al over tho
floor. Then be went Into tho kitchen,
and on the table found three freshly
baked loaves of bread. He ate ono
and thought It was fine, so he ate tho
top crust off both the other loaves.
He then looked around and found
part of a aide of bacon, whtch quickly
vanished. Then, in some manner, ho
opened the flour bin and secured the
flour sifter. This proved to be even
better than a football, as it rolled
over the floor, leaving little trails of
white flour. When this game had
been completed satisfactorily, the vis
Itor investigated further In the flour
barrel, and discovered the pie crust
dough which Mrs. Btehn had mixed
ready for her Sunday pies. This im
mediately followed the route of the
other edibles.
Pained either by his conscience or
his tummy (probably tho latter) the
Intruder about this time made his
exit. If Mr. and Mrs. Ulehn could
have arrived and found him asleep ou
a bed the story or a "Sllverlocks"
bear would havo been complete.

Have )ou seen Murphy's big gun?
Well, It's some gun. They've got
somo good artillery over around the
trenches these days that do great
work, but thoy huvent got any jet, as
fur as wc can learn, that shoots rail
roads, mid that's what Murphy's big
gun docB Yes, sir; a great, big,
double-barret Hhotgun that shoots
tullrouds out of the end of a flat car.
The tlrst barrel goes blng! and out
tomes a scattered shot of ties; and
then baim!1 gocB the other barrel
with the rails, which laud all spiked

tury limited.. i - - -
May bo that's laying It on a little
strong, but it certainly is a most
unique connivance that Engineer H
T. Murphy has arranged for laying
tho ties und rails on the municipal
Strahoru rallroud between this city
und Dairy. Cars of mils aud ties are
ruu ahead of the locomotive, and the
fioui car Is cleverly arranged so that
at u given signal n truck load of ties
lire run to the fiont, dumped, and
quickly rollod Into place by a crew
on the ground. The raits are then
bhoted on with rollers, and tho sys
tem works so smoothly that It re
cull cs less than seven minutes from
the time, tho sixteen ties are dropped
until the rails uro spiked and 'bolted
together, mid the train pushes a
length ahead. Mr. Murphy, the orlg
iuator of this scheme is the locomo
tive engineer on tho new roud.
Tho crew last evening finished at a
point Just Inside the Merrill rlad on
the Altamont ranch. Progress In lay
lug the rails will now be delayed until
the bridge across the government ca
nul cun be constructed. Owing to the
direction of the grade at this point
the bridge will bo 200 feet long, In
stead of the 100 feet tequlred to go
straight across.
The road bed and curves are being
constructed with a view of fifty mile
speed at all points between this and
Dairy. From the city limits the road
tukes a perfectly straight course to
Olene, nearly ten miles.
The uew dredger recently complet
ed by F. Hill Hunter has started on
the three-quarter mile All from the
Southern Pacific track to, the point of
Its Junction with Klamath avenue.
The new machine works splendidly,
and will probably complete the heavy
fill in less than six weeks. The new
couch has been paid for, and will be
ou the ground some time next week.

history of this baseball classic is not
wanting in examples where youthful
players, unnoted by tame, have
proved tbe star's and deciding factors
In the battle for the inter-league
championship.
From every angle of comparison
tha conclusion is rnnrhnH that thn
series about to begin will prove one of
the most exciting and closely fought!
since these contests were taken in
charge by tbe National Commission In
1906, and made'an annual climax to
the baseball season. A study of tbe
records of tbe players and the teams
In their respective leagues develops
the fact that so far as figures and av
