Of all the experiences with bruin, the
most novel perhaps, was that enjoyed on
Tuesday bv H. {. Barley, the SkagWay
photographer. and the men at CoWley, a
railroad camp between Caribou and White
Horse. Barley performed the extraordi-
narv feat of photographing at short range
an unnamed specimen of what Is usually
one of the most fierce members of the bear
family, big cinnamon. Furthermore he
took the picture with group of men about
the animal.
THE BEAR" says Barley in telling the
story, "came into the camp some time ago.
The men somehow made friends with him,
and he became a daily visitor, and they
fed him with refuse from the table. The
old fellow became so regular that they
could almost depend on finding him in the
camp at regular hour each morning.
"The morning was there he was lit

.iEN ELECTION FOR
.CASS|AR DISTRICT
Irving's Protest Will Prob
ably BE Allowed.
PRECINCTS SHUT OUT
Did Not Get Ballot Boxes Until
After Date Set for Election Err
rors Made at Bella Coola-Prob-
able Change Next Time.

Advices from Victoria state that the
protest filed by Capt. ohm Irving on the
Cassar election will prob ably be granted,
and a new election ordered. Three pre-
cncts failed to get the ballot boxes before
the election, SO failed to hold one. AT
Bella Coda the election judges made the
mistake of numbering some of the votes so
thew had to be thrown out. 1t is taci,lv
understood that these Irregularities will
vitiate the election.
AS finally counted, George Stables, of
Atin. defeated Capt. Irving by % major
itv: the vote being, Stables, 277; Irving,
244.
Clifford, who ran on the same ticket
with Irving, W as elected, having received
3I8 votes. J. A. Godfrey. of Atlin, the
other Martin candidate, received 1913
votes.
1t is claimed bv many Atlinites that the
result of another contest will be different,
because of Misrepresentation made by the
Martin candidate. Others say the result
will not be different from that of the June
election.
The disfranchised precincts were Hazel
ton, Skidegate and Lorne creek. At Bella
Coda nine of the ten votes thrown out
were loss to Staples. The disfranchised
precincts only registered 70 votes, Nearly
all were for Irving.
Pending the contest Clifford and Stables
took their seats.
