The Advantages OF Conversation.

The most agreeable way of getting in
formation is by conversation. If you
talk with well informed person. who
can express clearly his ideas on any sub
ject in which you are interested, you can
ask questions, you can have explanations,
you can 20 over the subject until you
thoroughly understand it, and searching
out in this way, in the mind of another, q
thing which you earnestly desire to know,
you are more likely to remember it, and

Postmaster Griffith Davies:

of papers from him, all of which had the hotel

The fast letter was dated December II, but we
received q bundle of papers little later, bear

fur seal in Bering sea- The persistence with

this information leads TO the belief that an

sixty-one vessels up TO August 10, have caught
1900 seals. Twenty-four British and eight

their catch cannot be ascerteined. The seale-s

more than g. per cent. of the total number OF
seals destroyed up to date this season.

THE BEAR As A WRESTLER.
John McGrath's Thrilling Experience
and Hairbre adth Escape From Death.

Four Seattle men, John McGrath, Sed Brown,
Harry DEM and A. Metcalf. have story of
adventure with bear in the wild, scraggy part
of Snohomish county 10 tell their friends that
is superior to the general run OF bear stories, in
asmuch as il is true, and the REALTORS feel COM
petent to undergo as rigid a eross-examination
as John Bardsley was recently submitted to. Il
all happened this wise:
The young adventures are also prospectors.
just and due appreciation of the value of gold
has led them to seek for 1t, not in the busy marts
of trade but upon the rock-ribbed ridges of the
goiG-flled foothills One day last week they
packed a prospeetor's outfit and went to Sno-
homish county in search of quartz mine
There are plenty of monuments to the unful-
filed ambition of the gold-digger in Snohomish
county and all around it. They are holes in the
ground that have been deserted by men and
taken up by the wild beasts. At least one of
these is q bear den, and its tenant is now a dead
bear
The party met large she bear in the mount
aims early in their vacation. They were I'M
armed, but valiant They pursued the beast
with stones and drove il into its hole, and Mr..
McGrath was left to guard the door while the
others fastened TO the nearest ranch to borrow
guns enough to kill it, During their absence
the bear came out McGrath approached it
closely and threw stones drive it back, without
succeeding in doing So Suddenly the animal
rushed on him, knocked him down with
sweep of one paw, and without accompani-
ment OF slow music, proceeded to be the heroine
OF the drama, ana TO go through the anatomy of
the fallen foe with her long, sharp teeth.
There was dramatic and timely interruption
Just then. The animal had just said 81 have
you now," in bear language, OF course, when
the sb'ent hunters took the cue and entered in
body, at K. U. E., armed and ready for the res
cue scene. The bear aud Mr.. McGrath did the
wrestling scene from "As You Like It." with the
bear as Charles the Wrestler, heavy and power
full, and Mr. McGrath in the role of Orlando. So
closely were they wrapped in each Others en-
brace that friends dared not interfere for fear of
killing McGrath. The contestants struggled for
life on the rudely-set stage. McGrath was
in an awful position. He had just called 10 his
friends to shoot and take the risk of killing him,
when the animal loosed his mold to get better
one. That movement was the last he made
while enjoying good health. The bullets of the
hunters finished him before he knew it,
McGrath is said to have risen to his feet and
started Immediately for Seattle, almost crazed
from the effects of his thrilling experience, but
apparently not very seriously hurt. His friends
are still awaiting news of him. They are anx-
ious to have him return and conclude the pros
pecting tour in their company.

Good Bond Market Will Make Railroad
Extension Possible.
In speaking of the financial situation MT. d.
ii. Gilman said: 'sI look for much better times
here not later than the 1st OF next January
There is plenty of money in the country, but
when the Barings failed las. year capitalists and
everybody else lost confidence and held back
from investing The stock market went way
Down
"The abundant crops OF this season will keep
the railroads busy and will bring lot OF Eu-
ropean money TO America. The consequence is
that the stock market is recovering. as you can
see by watching the reports. That recovery
means that in short time we shall have bet
ter bond market. Most of the railroad enter
prises planned for the Northwest were stopped
last fall because the roads could find
no market for their bonds But If the market
comes this winter thcn the Union Pacific can
complete its extension from Portland here, and
the other enterprises carried on foot will be car
ried out. The bond market has been dull
that for some months the only sale made in Lon
don has been by the Great Northern. In that
way this road has been enabled to carry on its
construction westward TO the sound. With the
Great Northern and the Union Pacific building
into Seattle and spending money on terminal
facilities here, the city will receive much direct
benefit; and at the same time the indirect ben
eft by the renewal of confidence will be beyond
calculation.
'These railroad operations conducted right
here at Seattle will do the city and the state
more good than any railroad building yet under
taken. Thew will make the city railroad cen
ter and give it the benefit of competition In
transcontinenlal rates
"Then, too, the Great Northern. Ii 1t crosses
the Cascade by the stevens pass, will develop
rich mining country, and another source of
wealth will open for us.

A FUNERAL CAR.
Addition to the Rolling Stock of the
Union Trunk Line

The Union Trunk line has fitted up a funeral
car which is something OF u novelty in street
railway rolling stock. The company had re-
ceived several requests to furnish funeral trains
to the cemetery, but has never done so until
"Wednesday. +. F. Whittier, the manager has not
cared to use the ordinary passenger cars for fear
of some contagion
For the funeral of Frank Z. F. Shaffer on
Wednesday special funeral cars were provided
by the Yesler avenue cable line and the Union
Trunk line. The Yesler line fitted ND dummy
and draped IL in black to carry the coffin from
Rainier avenue to Broadway, and there at the
corner OF Jackson street transfer was made to
the cataialque OF the Trunk line. This consists
OF a platform car over which is built a black
canopy, the sides of the car are covered with
heavy drapery of black and white The eata-
falque was fastened in front of one of the ordi-
nary electric cars and two more cars followed
completing train of four. Several Eastern
cities have funeral cars and the Union Trunk
line will build one at once, something like an
ordinary hearse, closed. ana with French plate
glass sides. Until that is completed the cata-
falque and the special of the Yesler line will
be held in readiness
