The Bear and the Babe.

Jap Kidwell, who lives about fifteen
miles east of Garfield, near Webster's
mill, was in town last week and related
to his brother Jerome thrilling exper-
fence with bear, which calls forth an
answering thrill from every parent. Mr..
and Mrs. Kidwell started out to look for
huckleberries on the mountain near by,
one morning recently, taking their young
babe with them. They found a patch OF
berries and set the baby down on the
ground in an opening made by an Old
road. Jap had moved off into the bushes
little way and the mother was picking
short distance from the child when
she looked towards it and saw u savage
looking she bear, accompanied by two
cubs, making directly for her little one
and only few feet away. She screamed
and flew toward her child, and the
father, hearing the animal making it's
way through the brush and suspecting
what it was, started almost at the same
moment for the spot. The bear, hearing
The ontcry and seeing an enemy ap-
preaching from each direction, halted,
gave vent to his disappointment in an
angry growl, and made off through the
brush, while the cubs, thrown into a
panic by the suddenness of the enconn-
Ter, hastily climbed tree. When the
heightened parents had recovered little,
Mr. kidwcll proposed TO stand guard
over the cubs while Mrs. Kidwell went
% the nearest neighbours for dogs and a
gun, but her nerves were too shaky to
undertake the trip alone, so they both
went and the men returned as quickly
aspossibie, but the cubs had disappeared.
ihey caught glimpse OF the old one
numbering through the underbrush and
sent a shot after her, but without any
apparent effect. ENTERPRISE.

Russian Thistle.

Bulletin No. "a OF the agricultural ex-
pertinent station at Pullman is timely
one, treating OF the Russian thistle in
Washington. This dreaded weed has
obtained a foothold in the state and only
by strenuous efforts can it be prevented
from doing great damage to our farming
interests. The weed was discovered last
year at no less than seven different
points, namely, Spokane, Walla Walla,
Pasco, kennewick, Badger, Toppenish
and Sunnyside.
The last three patches were the larg-
est and while the attempt was made to
destroy all the weeds these patches will
need careful attention this s'ason. All
OF these patches except Sunnyside are
upon railroad lines and it is clear that
the weed had been introduced from the
infested regions of Dakota, Montana, and
Southern Idaho by means Of railway
cars, Prof. Piper contends that If the
Russian thistle already introduced can
be destroyed and systematic inspection
OF the railroads of the inland empire
region made each year to destroy the
chance specimens certain to be brought
in by the cars, that We can keep the
Russian thistle out OF our wheat fields
indefinitely. Such system of inspec-
ton need not cost over $1,000 per year.
This is because the inland empire is en-
tirely surrounded by mountains across
which the Russian thistle will never
spread by natural means.
Bulletin No. 81 contains complete
description of the Russian thistle be-
sides two full page illustrations. Every
farmer shoIld have a copy so that he
may learn to recogn re a dangerous weed.
The experiment station is working to
locate and destroy the Russian thistle
this year with the aid of fund sub
scribed by the various counties of east
ern Washington and to do some work OF
Graduating az we'll. Wherever large
patches are found, however, the aid of
surrounding farmers will be needed.
The various railway lines have also Of
fered aid Bv this means it is hoped to
hold the thistle in check and to eradicate
it if possible. The next legislature
should by all means appropriate enough
to stamp out this dreaded pest and to
provide for a systematic inspection to
prevent it from obtaining foothold
again.
1t is certain that this weed will cause
more damage in one year than it will
cost to keep in out of the state for fifty
years.-Commoner.

Suicide at Oake sda1e.

Word was brought to town Monday
morning that "Bill" Tucker, farmer
living four miles east ST Oakesdale had
committed suicide. The cause of his
snicide is attributed to his thirst for
strong drink which he was apparently
unable to subdue.
Tucker came to town last Friday and
Immediately began to patronlze the
saloons quite literally. In few hours
he was in bad state and continued i'll
that condition until Sunday night when
he sobered up sufficiently to get home.
1t is reported that he first went to the
barn on arriving home and took a con-
siderable quantity of squirrel poison.
He then proceeded to the house and after
drinking a goblet of milk, awakened his
wife and told her what he had done.
Already he was suffering agony from the
poison. The wife hastily summoned
the nearest neighbor, John Clements,
who lives but a short distance away, but
Tucker was too far gone when Clements
and Kelly, another neighbor, arrived,
for them to render any aid. After
writhing in horrible agony for some min
utes the victim passed away.
"Billy" Tucker was quite we'll known
ia this city where he has traded ever
since the town WAS founded. He located
a, his furr, in tho S0'S and has lived
there ever since. He leaves a wife, one
son and five daughters, the two Youngest
little children. The dead mans neigh
bors speak we'll of Tucker remarking
that "the only bad thing about Billy was
his habit Of drinking. Sun.
