ENCOUNTER WITH BEAR.

llwaeo, wn,, Sept 2l.--Osbourn
Coulter, the butcher OF Nehnlem, Mt the
end OF the peninsula had an encount-
er a few days ago with an old mother
bear. He was out In the woods In the
vicinity II 0ysterville looking for some
cattle. While walking through the
brush he was suddenly confronted by
she bear with two cubs at her side.
Mr.. Coulter had jus, stepped on log
when the bear saw him and after TAX
ing good look at the intruder
made for him. Mr.. Coulter was un-
armed and the brush was so thick that
to run was cut OF the question. He real
ixed that he was IN for hand TO hand
fight with the angry bear and prepared
TO make the worst of It. Drawing his
trusty knife to use in case Of necessity
he stood his ground. On came the
mother bruin and as she came near
enough. Mr.. Coulter gave her a violent
kick on the end OF the nose with his
shoe. This startled the bruin, and in
stead of pushing the fight she turned
and walked away with her cubs. This
terminus OF what looked for a moment
as II would be fight to the death, with
the odds against Mr.. Coulter. was
greeted with pleasure by him. Had the
hruin insisted on vanquishing her in
truder. the consequences might have
heen serious to Mr.. Coulter,

Reported That War Department
Win Make Improvements
at Columbia.
NEW GUNS WILL BE PLACED
Effort Is Now Uuder Way to
Have q Road Built From
Post to Chinook
and Iiwaco.

Fort Columbia, Wn., sept. zI.--CSpec-
ial The all absorbing talk here and In
the surrounding country Is the probable
disposition 10 be made by the war de-
partment with this fort. Last spring
the fort was left deserted by the re-
n0yal 0f~the Thirty-third company
coast artillery and since only six and
eight men have been stationed here un-
der Sargt. Hendricks. They are simply
caring for the government property and
keeping the fort In repair.
Recently II was rumored that arrange
ments were under way to thoroughly
remodel the fort and send back several
companies OF men. Among the Inn
provements were the placing Of several
mortar guns, several enplacement guns
and the ieveling off Of the biuff south
or the fort. This was to secure dirt TO
dump into the bay In front Of the fort
to make a parade ground. The tide
covers the bay for some distance in
front OF the fort and with little dirt
a large parade ground could be made.
The latest adyices are that this work
Is to be begun within the next year. but
no official confirmation of this report
Is al hand. However, 1t Is announced
that company OF men will be sent here
soon and looking toward this end the
officers quarters and buildings of the
fort have been repaired to some extent
recently.
Now IN agitation Is being started to
have the government establish gov
ernmant road between Fort Candy and
Fort Columbia. Fort Columbia is sit
uated IL miles up the bay and there is
now good plank road between here
and Ilwaco, distance of three miles.
From Ilwaco 10 Chinook is fair coun-
ty road and with very little work could
be made military highway. From
Chinook to Fort Columbia 1t is almost
impossible with any kind of a rig and
most ofahe. waywould have to be plank
ed 10 make it subject TO quick transit.
Ths object of government road is in
case OF necessity ever coming for the
puirk transfer OF troops from one fort
10 the other. This would not be neces-
sary only IN the case OF the invasion of
some hostile aeet and an attempt by
some foreign fleet TO attack the mouth
OF the Columbia. AS the route between
the two forts Is now it would almost be
impossible to transfer guns from one
fort to the other and considerable I'M
necessary time would be consumed by
the men in making the trip. 1t is the
mtention of The citizens of the penin-
sula TO engage the services of the
state congressman in bringing all forces
to bear on the war department to have
the road established. In connection
with this. and unless troops are soon
sent back to the fort. soon, an effort
may be made through the congressman
to have the fort reinhabited as we'll as
try and hurry up The remodeling of the
fort.
