Lawrence c. Doyle, of Port Angeles Wash,
recently had a terrible fight with an Olympic
Mountain cougar, which nearly cost him his life.
In company with an Indian. he went fishing for
salmon in the Elwha River. The big animal
suddenly appeared at the entrance to cave,
and with a roar crouched to spring at the
Indian.
Il threw my fish spear at him, and the Indian
ran for his life" is the way Doyle starts his
story.
THE animal then crouched to spring at me. l
made a Iunge with the spear and drove 1t into
his head and ear. The long handle was Of the
stoutest wood, and thought to hold him in the
cleft of the rock. His spring landed me in the

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LETTER,
Numerous advances Ut the stock exchange
yesterday bears out the fact that the spring
boom is on, also that it has set in earlier than

dispatches received fren our London CORES
2oldent yesterday saio that public support to
the foreign market in Americans securities vas
at last reviving. The furry in money on call
was . natural incident to the shifting of loans
required for the meeting of interest and diyid-
end obligations maturing IN April. The closing
of the exchange on Good Friday neoesuitates
provision for brokerage loans extending to
Monday. Under the circumstances il would
not DO nAtqral for money rates to mako further
advance today. OF the extra ordering, in fact
unprecedented activity in all lines ii is hardly

state, but the Northwestern did not
start its branch until it was settled the
