on.a stln hunt after they had packed the her
rings in the barrels, went along, andwhen
we got to the bough shanty we found every
thing topsy turvy. The heap Of fish was
strung over space forty feet in diameter,
and the hafbreeds were the maddest fellows
ever saw. They knew right away what the
matter was, but didn't. soon found out,
though
Several bears had been there in the night,
eaten their ELL of fish and destroyed the rest.
The bears had bitten scores Of the behring's IN
two, and then tnmbled and wallowed in the
mass until they had make the destruction
complete After the halfbreeds had sworn
like pirates for while, they dumped the ru-
ined goods into hollow and covered them
with dirt Then they got ready to hunt the
bears down, declaring that they wouldn't set
a net in the water until they had slain one or
more of the big fish thieves. They calculated
that the bears would get very thirsty before
noon, and waddie down to the shore Of the
bay to drink, and they asked me to assist
them in lying low for the brntes.
1--WE all had rites, and the three half
breeds told me what to do and then started
off through tho woods 1 took one Of their
canoes and padded across a cove to a point
covered with alder bushes, little expecting to
see bear, but, just as was going to land,
l saw the bushes move a short distance IN
shore. Then the sapltngs parted and big
bear slouched down toward the water. The
bear and got sight OF one another at the
same moment, and be whiried about and
tried to hide 10 the underground, But my
charge of buckshot was little too quick for
him, and be went believing In the direction
of bluff. He didn't stop his noise till be
crawled uader the top Of fallen tree near
the foot OF the cliff, aad while was on my
way after him for another shot I heard q
gun crack from thestop Of the bluff and the
bear came slamming toward me, growing
like fury. Then gave him another dose OF
buckshot and killed him.
1.-THE shot from the top Of the bluff had
been fired by of the angry half breeds
and he ran down to find the bear. He had
seen the bears head sticking out from the
tree top, and his shot had hit the animal In
the nose My first charge had shattered the
bears right thigh and wounded bis left fore
leg. Then we lugged the carcass to the shore
and later In the day we put it in boat and
took it to where the team was feeding.
THAT forenoon one OF the half breeds rar
foul of another bear mile OF SO back in tbs
woods, and shot ii four times. He killed it
of course, and before night the other one got
the third bear. When we all met at the
shanty, toward sunset, the half breeds were
much better natured than when they saw the
ruined fish. The slaughter of the three bear.

He dropped dime in at the top, turned

out

box was communicated to the ticket Office

a fake, and they had to chain the glasses as
these are chained Now, let us SEE"
He took pair of nippers from his pocket
and cut the chain. The glasses were placed
In his overcoat.
''aum! hal"
He deity took a hairpin from the lady in

In just forty seconds he had got into the cash

remained open. He gently pushed it to.
"You have to use special key to lock it
up. Now sea-"
He gave the hairpin another twist, probed
into the slot at the top, hooked something,

A YOUNG man at Seattle amused
himself the other day by tossing
up a loaded pistol and catching it
when it came down. He made a
slip, however, and the pistol fall
ing to the ground, was discharged.
The ball entering his breast, in
flicted a fatal wound. This young
man evidently came from the
the same family as the one who
blew into the muzzle of the loaded
gun.-Teleeram.

The idea that western city can
not get along without Cinnamon
is disproved by Tacoma's expert
ence. There are no better hotels,
restaurants and laundries in the
world than in that city, notwith-
standing there is not Chinaman
within its borders or in the county
in which it is situated. The Globe
observes: ''San Francisco has o.
900 Cinnamon. Tacoma has not
one. This city wants big popu-
lation, and is obtaining it with a
rapidity that is astonishing the
world, but it proposes to try and
get along somehow without the
'Heathen Chinee.'

A GOOD ADMINISTRATIO

1t is announced that President
Harrison will be a candidate for
denomination. OF course he will
be and being nominated will be
elected. He has made a good
president and the second term will
he an improvement on the first.
During the first half of his present
administration, he has made not
few enemies in his own party by
his refusal to act as hastily as they
desired in the matter Of the distri
button of offices, but it will be seen
before the expiration Of his term
of office that he acted SO wisely
and fairly that even those whom
he has offended will be willing to
afford him stronger support than
before.
The Cleveland administration
left many questions of serious i'm
portance to be settled by the Har-
rison adn1inistration-notably the
misunderstanding with Germany
over Samoa. and they have been
adjusted satisfactorily and credita-
bly, and with becoming dignity.
A misunderstanding with Eng
land over Behring sea has arisen
and negotiations are now pending
between representatives Of that
and this country. There is not Il
person in the United States who
does not believe that the matter
will reach an amicable settlement.
This is because there is such faith
and confidence in the adminis-
tration.
President Harrison's administra-
ton during his first four years will
not have been a dazzling one, but
will be shown to have been a safe
and dignilied one, just such as the
people of this country will want to
have continued.-Telegram.

There died in Washington a few
days since the only man who could
have prevented the assassination
of President Lincoln. His name
wat J. T. Parker and it was his
duty to stand by the door of the
private box in which the presiden-
tial party was seated and see that
only those entitled to do so entered
the box. Becoming interested in
the play, he moved off some dis
tance, and J. Wilkes Booth seized
this opportunity to enter the box
and execute his murderous pur-
pose.-EX.

NOTHING is great or small, good
or bad, except by comparison. A
gentleman named GOhn came to
Salem from Johnstown, Pa, some
time ago, but became dissatisfied
and recently returned to that
much stricken city. The follow
ing is an extract from his letter
after arriving there: "We landed
safe and went to housekeeping
this week. Johnstown looks
rough. 1t don't look like the
same place any more. If | was
back in Oregon again | would
stay. People don't see the diff.
ference in the country until they
come back. 1t costs more for liv-
ing here than it does in Oregon
Rent is higher here and most
things for living are higher. There
will be 10 fruit here. It makes
my mouth water when | think ol
the nice fruit in Oregon.'

CAN'T AFFORD 1T.

The Philadelphia Press sums up
the Behring Sea situation editor
tally as follows: Neither the Uni
ted States nor Great Britain can
afford to run the remotes risk Of a
collision over head of 100000
seals in the Behring's sea. One
days excited rumor would cost a
hundred fold more than all the
seals in Alaska. The United
States has three paths to secure
its ends. 1t can prove that open
sea fishing will wipe out the last
surviving herd of seals in tho
world; it can establish a right to
Behring Sea as a "closed sea"
and it can claim protection for
seals us strayed livestock, whose
property interests vests in the Uni
tedsStates, because they start from
and return to its territory. 1t is
the first duty of the government
to agree or arbitrate.

A GOOD town is one in which the
farmers spend money with the
home merchants, the laborers
spend the money earned with the
local tradesmen; where the feeling
and good will of every citizen is in
sympathy with home industries,
and where every article that can
be made or can be had is bought
of the local dealers. This is the
spirit Of reciprocity between bust
ness men and merchants, trades
men, laborers and farmers, and ii

The work of classifying and
adding up the census returns is
done by machinery. The machines
have keyboard like typewriter,
and look a great deal like one.
They are operated by girls, and
fifteen girls can count and classify
100000 names in day. They re-
duce the vast work to an easy me-
chanical operation, in which mis-
takes are impossible. What a
blessing it would have been could
the count of the population have
been done by machinery.

CURIOUS "robbery:" Although
coffee and tea are on the free list,
no change is observed in their
price, especially coffee, while other
articles affected by the "robber
tariff" have universally cheapen-
ed. How is this? The parrots
that prate that a ''tariff is robbery''
should pause and consider this
popularity of "robbery'' which
makes the things of which the p b.
lie is ''robbed" cheaper and more
plentiful than the things of which
they are not "robbed."-States-
