The Hoff fan Hardware store

community chest drive which is
sponsored by the Vernonia Stu­
dy club. Some member of the
club will be on hand at Hoff­
man’s from 9 to 6 each day of
next week and till 9 o’clock Sat­
urday evening.
•
Contributions are to be en­
tirely voluntary during the week
of the drive and as the demand
on the chest this year will pro­
bably be very heavy, everyone
is urged to contribute something.
Canned fruit and clothing will
be accepted as well as money.
The Oregon Gas and Electric
canmpany and the Oregon-Ameri­
can Lumber company have start­
ed off the contribution list
with generous donations. Every
cent of the money collected wj
be used to relieve want in cas
of sickness and distress in o
own community. Anyone is pri­
vileged to call on the chest at
any time. Cases are carefully in­
vestigated by the community
chest board, and anyone knowing
of such cases should report them
to the board.
The first drive was held last
year and proved a great suc-
cess and it is hoped that this
year's drive will be as great a
success.
Th< committee from the Study
S club n charge of the chest drive
consists of Mrs. W. E. P Bell,
Mrs. E. E. Yeo and Mrs. . H.
Holcomb.

Sidney Baker Kills
400 Pound Black Bear
Man Kills Cougar
Charging from Brush
TREHARNE — (Special)— A
black bear was killed by Sidney
Baker Monday. It measured six
feet from tip to tip and weighed
about 400 pounds.
A cougar, seven feet six in­
ches in length and weighing 137
pounds, was killed by Lawrence
Gudge, of Cochran, on Tuesday,
September 23.
According to Mr. Gudge, he
was hunting six miles from Coch­
rane, in the vicinity of Camp 8,
when he came upon the cougar
stalking a doe and a fawn, He
fired at the cougar and it dis-
appeared in the brush.
Mr.
Gudge toop up the pursuit and
the cougar, seeing him, turned
and attacked him. It took three
shots to stop the cougar, the
last shot going through its head.
It was thought the cougar
might have a mate somewhere
near and several men were out
Tuesday evening hunting for
trace of it.
The cougar was judged by
Mr. White of the Wheeler Log­
ging company to be about sev-
en or eight years old.

near and put it out.
In the meantime the fire
p.irtment was summoned, but
exact location was not given over
the telephone, and the depart­
ment headed in the wrong di­
rection on Rose avenue.
Chief Earl Smith warns people
to telephone central in case of
fire and be sure to give name
