nevertheless, some discussion as to
possible or probable candidates for
various Offices, and among them We
have heard mentioned from several
different sources, the name of ]. o.
Booth in connection with the Office Of
County Judge. The thought Is a good
one. The Office demands a man OF
judgment, integrity public spirit and a
high degree Of business ability and il
would be difficult to find man who can
NIL every requirement no perfectly as
Mr.. Booth. Then, also he is a man
who is respected and admired far above
political considerations, and members
OF all political parties would contribute
to his support, Every one knows that
Grants Pass does not contain a more
active or ready citizen than J. o. Booth
In any matter that pertains to the
public welfare. In his capacity AS a
private citizen he has served the public
ably and we'll aud has given sure
evidence OF his worth in public
capacity. The COURIER is not in the

Caught the Cubs.

Lincoln Savage, county school super
intendent, is hunter Of might as well
as an active instructor, as is we'll proven
by a recent hunting adventure on the
N mountsln forming the divide between
Chaney and Deer creeks.
Nj. Savage went out to hunt sq.irrels,
but finding panther track in the snow,
he went in pursuit. All day he followed
the psnther's footsteps, but gave up the
chase as night approached and started
homewsrd. While going through the
wet aud snow covered brush Of the
mountain he had become thoroughly
wet and in the evening the air became
very cold, so that his clothing fToze on
him as stiff as boards. When he had
progressed a short distance on his home
ward way, his dog scented game some
where down the mountain AS 1t was
nearly in the direction that he wished
to 20 anyway Mr.. Savage let the dog go
and followed as he could. The dog ran
a little way down the mountain and
began vigorous barking Mr.. Savage
located him in a thiCket OF small frs,
about waist high, but growing as thickly
as they could stand on the ground and
frozen stiff. Pushing through the
thicket he came 10 a little open space
around large fir tree and here he found
the dog barking ferociously at a hole
which fire had some time burned into
the base OF the tree. The FIRE had
burned a hollow 10 the tree, extending
down below the level of the ground.
rhe opening was perhaps two and a
hall feet each way and the cavity was
parly f led up with leaves. As Mr.
Savage approached, the dog plunged in
to the hole, but Immediately emerged
more suddenly than he went In. Mr.
Savage peered into the darkened cavity
but could discern nothing. Several
times he sent the dog in, without any
effect. At last, looking more closely,
he could make out the dim outlines Of
bears head, but when he would raise
his gun to his face, he could see nothing.
However, he hszarded a shot by guess.
No results. Again the dog emerged, but
this time no. alone. He was followed

never be known for well directed shot
laid her low Immediately on her ap-
pearance in ylight. Mr. Savage WAS
only about 10 feet away, with no posi-.
bility Of escape il his gun had failed
him.
From the den he secured two tiny
baby bears. These he tried to insert,

hunting coat but the little rascals clawe d
