Frank McDermott of the government

lived in The Dalles as far back as 1866,
when he worked in the shops at this
point. He was the first man to run a
locomotive at the Cascades. The gem

where he has inspected the Estate of
Idaho,' running between Bonney's
Ferry and Cassalo. This is in the Slogan
country, which Mr.. McDermott states
is a phenomenally rich mining section.
The country is now suffering from too
much water. caused by the rapidly melt

twenty-five years. The Kootenai coun-
ing. There are vast quantities of rich
ore there, good deal of which will be
taken out the coming summer. AL
though this country is in British Col
umbia, the great cry is for Americans
rather than for English. They have
discovered that Americans are rustlers
and workers, while Englishmen, after
securing valuable mine, are content to
rest and let it lie undeveloped. What
they want is the fullest possible devel-
opment of the country. A half interest
in one mine there was recently sold for
81 800, 900. Large numbers of people
are already there, and business is boom
ing. The fare from Bonney's Ferry to
Cassalo is So, and freight rates IS ton,
and so great is the traffic that Mr.. Nc
Dermott says boat can pay for itself
in two trips.

HATRED TURNED TO LOVE.
The Experience of a Hunter Who

Grizzly's Lair.
written for THE MORNING CALL

The country Immediately surrounding the
headwaters of Kings River has always been
good hunting grounds for bear, and people
who live in that part OF the State always go
out prepared to give battle to one of the
grizzly monsters. The animals are large
and ferocious and will stick to a fight rs
long as they have a drop OF blood left.
They have been known to enter peoples
houses and carry off. before the eyes Of the
family, such edibles as suited them.
Henry Tully has lived up in that country
for a number Of years. and what he don't
know about bears is not worth knowing.
He has fought them single handed many
times, and some of his escapes have been
little short of miraculous. Most of his
fights, however. have been of the usual
kind. but he had one experience few
weeks ago that makes his hair stand en- end
whenever he thinks of it.
He was out hunting for anything that
might come along, and had wandered sew
eral miles from his home without seeing any
afternoon and the shadow of the mountains

tone. He had turned around, intending TO
90 home, and started off at brisk walk.
Not sound could be heard except his
heavy boots crushing the fallen pine
branches beneath his feet. or il be stood

softly moving the pine-ne edles on the noun

harp. 1t was beautiful, and lie stopped fre-
Quently to enjoy IL.
At one time he sat down and had almost
forgotten himself, and the drowsy feeling
OF slumber began TO steal over him. But he
came TO himself suddenly, and the hunter

tain in this instance as on Goat Island,
wherein there no goats.
Once in a while the pelican is seen on the
quiet parts of the bay shores. But the pot
hunter is always on the alert and the bird
is getting scarce indeed.
Once on time, if reports are to be beIieved,
the pelican was almost as familiar habitant
of the bay as the gulls OF to-day, which,
like the sparrow, seem to defy civilization
and determination.
Let me record funny and apparently
ghostly story about a pelican, which can be
verified right here in town.

stuffed pelican cannot stay in one place.

There are two solutions. One Is that

By the way, it is not everybody who
knows that the tropic bird, the frigate bird
and the common cormorant Of the bay be-
long to the pelican family. also that the
frgate bird has occasionally been seen a
far north as San Diego. though it is purely
and properly denizen of the tropics.
The big pelican 10 Golden Gate Park is

pelican. To me the pelican has always
seemed to supply the missing link with the
Ramphorvnchus OF the extinct Teptilia. or
what is the same thing, the ge0l0gist who
undertook a restoration of the Ramphoryn-
ehus borrowed his idea from the living
pelican.
There Is heap OF human nature and his
tory about the pelican. He is a scrlptural
bird. Montgomery. the poet, wrote his

It's Gradual Evolution From the Best

Boston TRANSCRIPT.
Have you ever thought of the atmos
pheric effect Of dra wing-rooms? In the
days of slippery hairclOth and bare
marble. when a black hole in the floor
had Just replaced the "air-tight" and in
place OF the family Bible a Rogers group
stood on the black walnut stand in the bay
window, then there was about everything
sort of formality. We were Just slipping
out of the appellation "best ROOM" But
the suggestion of best clothes and best be-
hayior remained.
All this in turn was overlapped by the
plush era. We had everything in sets. A
red plush "parlor set" had its nigh, shaky,
ebOnized table with dangling gilt chains,
this topped with a majolica howerp0t Of
artificial flowers, and the bay window was
again adorned. But the chgnons and
ruffies of society could not lend ''llved-in
air 70 the red and gilt stiffness, and we
moved on.

MAIDENS OF VIENNA.
They Have Started a Spinster Club
With an Eye to Business.

WIFI an Eye 10 BUSINESS.
New York sun.
The maidens of Vienna have started a
spinster club. with the object. as they ayow.
of bringing about the speedy and happy
marriage of its members. Bachelors of
guaranteed responsibility DESTROYS of welded
bliss are to be registered, introduced to
available parties. and a record will be kept
OF the various excellent qualifications of
mutual members of both sexes. All of
which is about as utopian and practical as
an association of spinsterS would arrange IL.
In the first place. only the most utterly
abject of maids unwed, as f0rlOrn as rub
Der shoe run down at the heel, would ever
consent to be enrolled among the members
of this society with the audable aim. And
after they have organized. what are they
going &c do about 1t? How Will the blind
lead the blind? How is one spinster to
tell another how to bring Barkis TO proper
state of willingness? A 16-year-old girl in
her bridal veil with the bright new ring
under her wedding glove knows more about
the philosophy of getting a husband than
the whole BODY polite of worthy and intel
lectual spinsterhood.
Another point: Whoever knew n man 10
want what he could have as well as not. 1t
Is ever the bud on the tOpm0st limb, not the
flower on the lower branch that the man
risks his life for. II Helen of Troy and
Cleoratra Of Egypt had united with any
syndicate OF maiuens f0rlorn aVowlnS their
willingness TO enter the marriage state. the
Had would never have been written. Mark
Antony might have posed as model OF
marital fidelity.
The only hope for the Vienna sisterhood
is that they will secure the services OF some
attractive widow in second mourning. some
beautiful and stately wife unappreciated by
her husband, to teach them the mysteries
Of the art Of sharing hearts. II the men,
bers do not cis band the society promptly
they will obiee each Of its members to
swear a deep and deadly oath never TO
marry at all. This will not be a secret
oath. 1t will be inscribed on the badges of
the club. and large fines will be imposed II
the badge is not worn constantly. If some
uuwary man does not rise at this fy the
Viennese Eadens miRht as well seek the
consultations of religion. knowing that be-
cause of their worth and excellence they
are set apart for something more noble
than the marriage state. Fue average hus-
baud couldn't appreciate them.

during his two weeks captivity. His in-
tention was TO kill the old bear while she
was asleep, as in this way he felt sure OF
his escape without danger. But he felt
some rem0rse when he thought how the
bear had spared his life when she might
have killed him. he consoled himself by
the thought that she still intended TO eat
him when she was ready.
He felt sure of his escape now. and waited
for the bear TO return aud go to sleep. The
hours seemed very long. as he felt he would
soon 90 home and was impatient. He lay
down in corner Of the cave. the weapons
concealed beneath the straw and the cubs
jumping over Inn plavfully. They were
innocent little things and looked upon him
as one OF the family.
Suddenly there was a cracking of the
brush overhead and terrible howl was
raised. In another instant the old bear
tumbled into the cave and fell down gasp
ing. She gave a few conyulsive moves aud
rolled over dead. Tully made an examina-
ton and found that she had been shot in the
side by some hunter aud had come to her
