A Woman Attacks a Bear.
New Westminster Columbiau.


While Mrs. E Livingstone, who lives few
miles from Fort Langley, was on her way 10 the
postofice over lonely road through the woods
she came upon bear about to deyour 2 sheep
which il had killed. Without moments hest
tation Mrs. Livingstone took up stout stick
and proceeded to drive the bear away, and so
fearless was her attack that bruin abandoned its
dinner and suikily passed to the side of the road
Mrs. Livingstone picked up the dead sheep and
carried it for nearly mile, to Hossack's grist
mill, where she left it for the owner, Kenneth
Morrison. The feat is more surprising, mas
mRh as the bear followed her nearly all the
way but she bravely carried her trophy to q
place OF safety. The spot where the adventure
happened is closed in with trees on both sides,
and at point where the trail crosses largo
swamp; and, though not very distant from sew
eral houses, was remote enough to prevent her
cries from being heard, had she got the worst OF
the encounter and needed assistance.

PUGET SOUND LUMBER.
Opening of the Eastern Market Encour-
ages the Millmen.

SHELTON, Feb. 25.-lSpecial. THE Washington
Southern Railway Company is calling for bids
to furnish 1000 cords of No cedar shinge
bolts delivered on board their cars to be trans
ported on their big scow TO down-sound shingle
mills. Manager Anderson is endeavoring to
open new field forthe company and anticip ates
that he can readily compete with the present
sources OF supply to the mills. Cedar timber is
rarely cut, except for special order, and remains
IN the old logging works, u prey to the occa-
sioral woods fires The cedar in this vicinity is
splendid timber and should command good
figures.
The Tia,berman says: The recent shipment of
long timber for ship building PURPOSES made by
the Tacoma Mill Company, OF which mention
has before been made has reached its destina-
non. AZ Minneapolis, St. Paul and Chicago the
cars were detained by the railway company for
Two or three days for the purpose OF exhibiting
TINS product OF the Evergreen state, ami a-great
deal OF interest was manifested in it. The time
is coming when this timber will be recognized,
me world over as one OF the best that can be OBJ
famed Tor ship building purposes, and excellent
Tor bridge building as well. Every shipment
helps 10 advertise it by calling attention to its
superior merits. 1t is to the interest OF the rail-
roads to encourage such shipments, as the de-
yelopment of the timber industry makes more
business for them, and it is gratifying to know
that the railroads and the people are daily COM
ing closer together in matters of this kind. The
closer they come together, and the better the
understanding between them, the more rapid

The Minneapolis LHmbcrmdn says: The field
for the better grades OF the Pacific cedar shiu-
giles is widening. They are sold today in this
city at but cents more per 600 than tie white
pIre, while throughout the country tributary to
this market 1t is steadily supplanting the clear
white pine shingles Where it has made rep
utation for itself it is seeming to support its
claim to being fiity-year shingle. Not much
can yet be done with the cheaper grades of
cedar shingles here while the 55cent freight
rates hold between the Coast and this point

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in theil
habits of life. Some species grow alto
gether beneath the water, attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level
others frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide, Will,
others yet are found in situations where
they are scarcely ever covered by water
Whereas most of them attach them

to the shadows, there are exceptions t.
