A Willy OLD BEAR.
He Ranges the West Side of Mary's
Peak and Eludes all Pursuers.

For the past six weeks mon
strous bear has been ranging about
| the head of Wolf Greek, which
empties into Big Elk, and during
that time has destroyed a large
number of sheep and goats. Par
ties of hunters with dogs have
chased him time after time but
without success. The animal is
thought to be an old one which
understands perfectly how to elude
the hunters. When overtaken by
the dogs he refuses to seek refuge
in tree as bears usually do under
such circumstances, but instead,
gives battle to the dogs as long as
he is safe from the hunters, and
then moves on. On account of
dense under growth the hunters
can not see the bear until they are
very near him. At this season the
dogs can not continue the chase
long without going to water, and
it is their habit for all to go togeth
er. The dogs will return TO the
chase again when their thirst has
been satisfied, but the bear has
taken advantage of their absence
and secured long lead of his pur-
suers, a
The last chase reported was made
by Frank Taylor and others with
Caleb and Frank Davis dogs.
When hunters go out for the pur-
pose they never fail to, Jump" the
bear. When the party reached
the animals range, Old Jack, one
of the dogs, soon found his trail
and in short time the faster dogs
had overhauled the terror of Mary's
Peak neighborhood. But the bear
followed the tactics which had long
been his security. and the hunt was
finally given up for the day, How
ever, one of the dogs, a small fox
and bloodhound kept up the chase
and fought the bear over a distance
of two miles after the other dogs
had returned to the hunters.
Although the efforts of settlers
on the west side of the peak to kill
the intruder on their range, have so
far failed, they have no notion of
giving up the hunt. Since they
have chased him so often they have
learned pretty nearly the course of
his retreat when pursued, and it is
their purpose to summon a large |
mum Der of hunters and station indi-
vidu1as along this course before the
chase begins. 1t is thought that |
the bear is likely, when pursued, to
come near some person lying in wait i
for him, or they may be able in this
manner to surround him when they
learn his whereabouts by the baying
of the dogs This method was sue
eessfully carried out to kill willy
old bear which a few years ago
ranged about the east and north
sides of the peak. In that instance
the chase was on and while the dogs
were away for water the old bear
was making tracks" on a trail
along which Caleb Davis was sta
toned, and a bullet from his gun
ridded the neighborhood of very
troublesome creature.

Pennsylvania Wasn't Enough Like Or

Harry Wicks and family are back
from Pennsylvania whittier they
went from Corvallis six months ago
to make the East their permanent
home. Pennsylvania wss not
enough like Oregon to suit them,
and they are very welcome back.
We don't like to have people leave
Oregon because they like some
other state better. or because they
think they can do better elsewhere,
but we have learned to be assured
they won't stay long when they do
go. "A great many of Harry's
friends are saying to him "What did
! tell you when you left?" Under
some circumstances it might be an
noying to him. but just now he feels
as if he could put up with almost
anything here without complaint.
Mr.. Wicks states that he held a
most satisfactory position with an
uncle near Pittsburg, but the hot
days and hot nights, disastrous
storms. lightning strokes, ap-
preaching extreme cold, poor he 18th
and all, was more than he could
stand although, he fought bravely
against his inclination to return to
Oregon. Mr.. Wicks has some very
good positions offered him, both
here and in Portland, but on ae-
count of having friends and proper
ty in Benton he thinks he will re-
main here.

clared 'gainst friendships folly. and
in tones quite melancholy said he'd

friendships ghost had fitted. those
II left were TO be pitied; for their

And there was no doubt about f.

We could not get on without IT,
though II left us in disgrace;
For its memory always haunted, and

for there was no girl above her in
his eyes He thought only Of her
and she said: why, certainly;
