moments Of wild exhilaration. OF that
serene and glowing triumph over obsta

mountable. TO Hilber moment like
this had come, as, rising from the break

putting his hand in his waistcoat pocket,
pulled out ten new crisp one-hundred.
dollar bills which he placed before her.

voice indicating depth OF emotion that,

fore, he had succeeded in suppressing,

them in purse, while slight look OF

FLORA BULLoCK.
After you have heard and sounded
the quantity OF veracity in the first
stories told tenderfoot you may con.
slider yourself initiated and ready to en-.
Joy living. In this canyon the favorite
tale used for terrorizing purposes is OF
the bear who killed, and. according tc
the version generally dealt out to 9
tenderfoot. ate man, not very Tar from
wherever you happen to be at the time
and not very long ago. Shorn OF ito
undue ornament, however, the story il
quite true and tragic enough. The man
who was killed was an old and expert
enced hunter. but his rifle went back or
him at the critical time. The people
who examined the scene OF his struggle
thought that after finding his gun un
trustworthy he had succeeded 10 climb
ing tree, though his leg was much
torn. 1t was believed that the bear at
tackled him when he came down again
After you have been sufficiently i'm
pressed with the idea that the bear en-
joyed square meal. and questioned
what he did with the clothes and TO-
bacco, your informant tells you tina,
bears are never known to eat people
they kill just for sport, probably having
learned the trick from men. This par
ticular bear, you may be interested to
know, is not now roaming the canyon
He was cracked and killed soon after
the exploit OF which have told ami be
afterwards adorned the shop OF taxi
dermist in Newcastle for some time
Another bear story, OF much lest
melancholy nature, usually follows in
the train Of this. A party OF hunters
from Illinois, anxious to make show
ing. secured the privilege OF using a
bear who had just been trapped as q
target for some fine shooting. They
then expressed him home to their
friends, l suppose with appropriate
compliments and expecting return con

little matter that the mark Of the trar
and the leg broken by it we're still ir
evidence.
Wolf stories and snake stories are
your every day supply. Every ranch
has its wolf-skin rugs; il you lie awake
nights you may hear the howl OF a
prowling beast-"away off up the can
yon" OF course. though the ranchman
will get out his horse and gun and start
off. By a rare chance you might hear
the believing Of the cattle as they gel
in close formation to fight wolf. Fail

sort you may get the effect artificially
produced by gong down into the
pasture when the cattle come meander
ing in at night; Just let a teasing ranch

fine, provided you can run and the gate
is open.
Coyotes are more numerous here,

Surveying Cincinnati.

The surveying party that started
at Marietta last July to make detail
ed survey of the Ohio river from Ma
rietta to the mouth of the Big Miami
river (the survey being completed
from Plttsburg to Marietta) is now
worMng in the harbor Of this city.
The party has not came all the way
from Marietta here, but skipped part
of the distance in order to insure a
survey of the Cincinnati harbor before
cold weather stops the work, and so
that the committee having the matter
in charge can go before Congress this
winter and ask for an appropriation
to commence to build the lock and
dam below this city The surveying
party came here about a week ago,
being housed in a fine quarter boat
and towed by the steamer Edna. 1t is
expected that the survey of the Cincin-
natl harbor can be completed before
cold weather stops the work for the
season. From present appearances it
is likely that an appropriation will be
asked from Congress as soon as posi-
BILE to purchase sites and begin the
work of building a movable dam some

The survey work is being done under
the direction of Major W. H. BiXby,
