A letter was received a few DAYS ago
from Weavervile, Trinity County, which
gives an interesting account OF bear
hunt from which the sportsman came
ont ''best man." 1t reads:
W. I. Hupp Jr. shot big cinnamon bear on
Van Matre Creek, which IS about half a mile
from the pipe camp OF Schaw, Ingram, Batcher
& Co., on Stuarts Fork. He was walking along
the old Buckeye ditch, about O'Clock in The
afternoon, when he saw bear feeding on the
sidehill about 80 yards away, and immedl-
ately fired. The bear ran in to the brush and
Hupp crawled after him until within about
twenty ieet. AS he could not see him. but
he did not follow any farther, but went back
TO camp.
The next morning he went out with a party
and found the bear dead about mile from
where he was shot. They tracked him by
crawling through the brush The last 200
yards looked like plowed road, where the
bear had bitten and torn up the brush in his
desire TO get to water and in his death strdg-
giles. The bullet had entered near his tail and
ranged up through his body, stopping near
his heart.
The bear was monster, and though very
thin was estimated to weigh from 400 to $50
pounds His paw was about ten inches in
diameter. He was old fellow. as bis teeth
were worn. In his death agony ne had bitten
the flesh nearly off one of his forepaws

rates by the San Francisco men who
chartered the steamer Modoc to come tc
this city and compete with local mer-
chants in their own territory. 1t had been
stated that prices will be put to point
far below what any other dealer was sell
ing, and on the strength of these state
ments considerable interest was mani
tested In the steamers arrival.
Long before daylight this N ornfng the
Modoc beI thed at Broadway wharf A
little later a few wagons and many Curl
Gus commission agents were on the water
from nxious to see what was being done.
The Modoc merely landed sixty-fivs little
packages of fruit. and having done this
steamed awav. 1t was stated that the
Sacramento River growers refused TO take
part in price-cutting war with Oakland
commission dealers, and would not ship
by the Nj odoc. As she had been adver-
tised to sail i was necessary that she
should take any freight that was offered,
and as only the few packages were con-
signed through her the petition had
no effect on the local m arket.
Another event to-day IN the competi-
ton between the two cities was the arrival
of the steamer San Lorenzo, which
brought full cargo for local firms. The
San Lorenzo has been chartered to COM
pete with the Duxbury, which opened the
com pol1tIOu aSdlHSI OdH ucRl-
ers a week ago. The San Lorenzo is lar
more expensive boat to handle than the
Duxbury, and the prices asked on the
wharf were consequently higher.
Tomorrow morning the Duxbury will
be in again with full cargo for Adams
wharf and as her consignees have char
tered another steamer there will hereafter
be daily boat from the river points to
Oakland wharves.
ShouId the H. g. Grady arrive safely
from Astoria the stern-wheeler will at
once be put on the river trade and regu-
larly run to this city. 1t is now very evil
dent that the system of shipping direct to
Oakland has proved an immediate sue
cess, and it is not easy to see how the
trade could again be diverted back to San
Francisco. Apart from the loss of value
10 the shipment caused by handling and
consequent waste of time, the produce is
landed on the Oakland wharves about S3
ton cheaper than when 1t comes through
San Francisco. AS there are about 200
tons day of fruit and produce coming to
this city, the difference in local prices is
very marked.
