FIGHT WITH BEAST,
Occurred at Rock Creek Near Camp
of Judge Currey.

What is believed to have been the
biggest wrestle with bear since the
days of Jacob and the angel took
place Friday night on Rock creek in
the vicinity of Judge Alf L. Curreys
camp. Exact particulars are difficult
to obtain but the story is something
like this, with Judge Currey as the
hero:
A man named Illerton has a small
cabin on Rock creek near the camp
of Judge Currey and other Bakeries
who are enjoying the scenery of the
mountains. Shortly before daylight
on Saturday morning Illerton awoke
with the conviction that there was a
bear in his cabin. He got up and ran
against the bear. The bear was
very hungry and tried to eat Illerton.
Illerton protected himself with a
shovel and yells. The yells awakened
Judge Currey who was camped near
by and he came to the rescue. With
a shovel and a pick the two men
made enough noise to awaken every
man on the mountain from the Max
well mine to Haines.
In the morning when the smoke Of
battle had cleared away all that was
discernable we're the bare foot prints
Of Judge Currey hitting a hot foot
down the creek road toward Haines
That is why Judge Currey came to
town Saturday afternoon. He re-
turned today with a gattling gun and
whale harpoon. Illerton has a RI
fle but no cartridges.-Baker City

FAY LEGRow, STOCK KING.
Owns, In Conjunction With Drum.
heller, Immense Stock Farm.

Fay LeGrow, cashier of the First
National Bank of Athena, is one of
the principal owners in one of the
largest stock ranches in the north
west, says the Athena Press.
The big cattle ranch is situated in
the Crab Creek country up in Wash
ington. Last year Mr.. LeGrow and
the Drumhellers of Walla Walla pur-
chased the lands and hundreds of
head of Hereford cattle of an English
lord. An idea of the magnitude of
this great ranch may be had when it
is learned that 10 sections of land are
under fence, in addition to thousands
of acres of outside range which the
company controls by virtue of water
rights.
Several thousand head of cattle
forage on this excellent range, for the
Crab Greek lands are noted for sue
culent grass and plenty OF It. Nearly
all of the stock ranging there is
owned by the company, and nearly
every head IS marked with the white
foot of the Hereford.
This year in that portion of the
range under fence, 100 head of little
white-faced Hereford calves sport
and play on the hillside, and next year
there will be a greater number, for
only barren calves and heifers are be-
ing sold out of the COW herds. An
interesting sight it is to see 100
calves in one bunch, and more inter-
esting still, when you cannot tell zone
from another" for with their we'll
known Hereford characteristic, they
all look alike to you.
Over 500 head Of beef cattle have
been sold from the ranch this season
the greatest number being purchased
by Walla Walla buyers.

Alba, Aug. 19.-Harvest will wind
up in about 10 days. The weather
has been favorable with only one
slight rain to stop the progress of
storing and stacking. All crops are
in good condition.
The next job is the rounding up OF
the beef cattle and putting them in
pastures and have them handy to
look at when the buyers come
around. Cattle are in good condition
this year and prices little better
than last.
There was a horse buyer here last
week who bought a carload to ship to
Honolulu. He was a native of that
country and stated that if his pur-
chase proved a success ne would be
back here in six weeks and buy more.
He paid good prices for 12OO-pound
horses.
Jim Huston and family have re-
turned from Ontario, where they
moved last fall. They do not like
that country we'll enough to settle
down and make a home. He says
the weather there is as hot as at
Pendleton.

Semple have returned to Pendleton

policy ofhis party which he "earnest.

sented by the large number of private

'roduced, large per cent of which his

very significant Of Col. Slemp's cnIihre
auu influence among his own political

he has been in congress he has been

That altho' congress passed an Omnibus

OF Col. Slemp's bills were turned

III does seen that this district Is en-
utied to better and abler representation
than Col. Slemp has so far been able 70
give us, to Judge by the record he has
made. There is no finer constituency
IN this or any other state. The stand
ard OF character and intelligence in the
Ninth district, among the rank and file
OF both parties, is high, and they are
entitled to have in their representative
something higher and better than a
mere vulgar political "Boss." whose
highest political ideals, (even if we ac-

political achievements), consists in
passing private and pension bills and

Col. Slemp offered FORTY EIGHT
(4s) PRIVATE BILLS, practically all
OF them being pension bills, and also
ten bills which, out of abundant cbari-
ty, might possibly be called public
bills, tho they are purely local and of
little Importance. Out of all these
private bills he only passed NINE
ALL PENSION BILLS. Among the
ten bills which have been called public
were all those of the same class here
inbefore mentioned, Including those
to Improve" the "headwaters" of the
Big Sandy, Clinch and Powell Rivers).
and in addition bill for the "drainaoe"
OF certain lands in Virginia. OF the
forty-eight private bills he only got
nine enacted, { ALL PENSIONS) and
OF the ten others he secured the pas
sage OF only one,- providing for and
regulating the holding OF courts at Big
Stone Gap, and this last was past by
unanimous consent F." The record
shows that ONLY ONCE DURING
THE CONGRESSIONAL CAREER
OF COL. SLEMP DID HE EVER
ARISE IN THE HOUSE AND AID.
DRESS THE CHAIR, and this was
when he asked unanimous consent"
for the passage of the bill to establish
and regulate the holding Of courts at
Big Stone Gap.
In the face of such a record as this
the "TAZEWELL REPUBLICAN" OF
Sept. 9th says; Colonel SIemp is the
most efficient and useful representative
the Ninth district has ever had In CON
gress. Besides, he is an earnest advo-
cate and supporter of the policies that

5Sth congress Col Slemp introduced
seventeen private bills of which eleven
were for the relief of certain persons
with claims against the government,
and SIX WERE PENSION BILLS
In addition to these seventeen private
bills he also introduced six public bills,
the like of which were probably never
introduced before by any congressman
in the history Of the House. These
public bills were as follows: ~, To i'm
prove the "headwaters" Of "Big Sandy
River; (2), to improve "Clinch River;
(3), TO improve "Powell River; I4. to
erect monument TO civilian Camp
bell"; (5) to establish a "sanatarium
for disebled volunteer soldiers at New
River; (6), to hold terms OF the u. s..
district court at Big Stone Gap, Va.
OF the above six bills those which were
intended to 'improve" the rivers and
"headwaters' mentioned, indicate an
attempt on the part of Col. Slemp to
make precedents for himself; they are
entitled to be ranked along with his
"loke" about Introducing bill to di-
vide the states Of Virginia, Tennessee,
and few other states, and creating
the new territory into a new state.
which, it is supposed, was intended To
be solidly Republican with the Col.
Slemp as "Boss." Truly Col. Slemp
does not bother his head about consti-
tutional limitations. Most intelligent
men have learned by this time that
the Federal government has control
only over drivers" and '.Headwaters"
that are "navigable" for commercial
purposes, and that it would have no
more interest in or control over the
"headwaters" ofthe "Big Sandy River"
than it would have over a county-road
or spring branch. OF these twenty
three bills (private and public, six were
passed, and OF the six, FIVE WERE
PENSION BILLS and the sixth was to
provide for holding federal courts at
Big Stone Gap.
AT the third session of the 5sth
cong Col. Slemp offered ten new bills
nine private and one public-the latter
to divide the state into three judicial
districts. OF these bills only one be-
came law and that was to increase
, the persion of one Isaac Sloan.

ED. CL1NcH VALLEY News:

Ed. CLINCH VALLEY News:
Col. Slemp has stated in his various
speeches over the district, and stated
in his speech here at Tazewell, in sub
stance and effect, that he had done
more and made the best representative
the Ninth district ever had in congress
and the same statement is made in the
last issue of "The Tazewell Republi-
can"
in view of this the writer undertook
to make an examination of Col. Slemp's
record in congress, and to ascertain
from that just what Col Slemp had
really done and to see if in fact he was
the great congressman be claimed to
be.
The result of this investigation is
given below, and for it's accuracy the
writer youches the congressional record
and we invite Col. Slemp's denial of it's
truth
The first thing that Col. Slemp did
after getting into congress was to get
his personal and political friend, Con-
gresham Brownlow. of Tenn, to offer
a resolution authorizing the payment
out of the treasury of $1,000 to Col
Slemp to reimburse him for alleged
EXPENSES" in an alleged contest
with Mr.. Rhea
A Republican house, with large
majority of his political colleagues
turned this resolution down, and it was
defeated by vote of 124 to "a. (5sth
Cong. Vol. 3s, PIP. 52s1 to $3.50.
In his first session, in addition to the
above attempt to make the govern
ment pay him 81, 800 in addition to his
salary, Col. Slemp introduced six bills
two public and four private bills
The public bills were to provide fol-
the erection Of public buildings at
WYTHEVILLE and BIG STONE

were to provide for claims of private
persons against the government and
one was TO increase a pension
