SHEEP KILLER BIG BEAR.
Pennsylvania Farmers Put an End
to the Destroyer Of Their
Flocks.

One OF the blacklist and blOodiest
robbers ever known in Potter county
was caught near Prouty in a wolf trap.
reports the Philadelphia Record The
robber had stolen and killed "a sheep
from various farmers within three
weeks. and as each sheep was worth
seven collars the mutton was worth al
most as much as the robber-a big
black bear.
Morning after morning following
raids upon the fiocks half eaten car
cases of sheep were found at the edge
OF fields or along old roadways. The
farmers at first thought the slaughter
was the work of lynx of which there
are several known in that section. But
one morning they found caught in the
big-jawed wolf trap which had been
set the night before with generous
piece OF mutton the biggest black bear
that ne had ever seen And the bear
was mad-mad as hornet-but bull
let from a rife killed him
The bear weighed a little better than
300 pounds The farmers around Prouty
who lost sheep each had bear meat for
dinner the next day.

Lawn Tennis.

Tennis was first played in the early
part of the sixteenth century in Eng
land and France. Matches for consid-
cradle wagers were frequently held
and rather than give up the game
many men played for parts of their
wearing apparel after their money was
gone. In England toward the last of
that century, covered tennis courts
were erected, and nearly all the no.
bility played, including the women.
Henry VII. was a devoted follower of
tennis, and Henry VIII was also fas-
cinated by the sport. The first royal
tennis match was played between this
monarch with the Emperor Maxi
milan for partner, against the
prince of Orange and the Marquis de
Brandenborow. Charles H. was the
first person to adopt tennis costume.

Curious Form of Recreation That Is

Recent agitations in Finland are
producing curious form of reaction.
The country is full Of Swedes, among

possible contingencies of Russian

always encouraged movement OF sol

The Swedish party has always been
one of the strongest in the diet, and
latterly there have been strong signs
of anti-Swedish feeling among the
other sections, and in public opinion
throughout the province Fortunately,
the Swedish population in the country
has realized the danger in time. and
recognizing that Swedish associations
we're all in the past. while all future
interests lay in Finland. has taken
practical steps to merge itself absolute
ly in the life OF its adopted country.

Payette Valley Fruit Men Copy
After Hood River
TEN FORM A fRurMtEs UNION
PLAN TO HANDLE CROP AT MUCH
GREATER PROFIT THAN
HERETOFORE.

An important step in the develop
ment of the apple growing industry of
South Idaho has been taken in the
Payette valley There, 10 of the fead-
ing growers have organized, union
which is modelled after that of the
Hood river growers. Their purpose is
to put apples on the market packed
like the product of the Hood river or
chards. to establish a brand that shall
always be guaranty of perfect fruit,
and to establish a means of dealing
with buyers through a single agency.
The organization is known as the Pay
cite Valley Growers union.
The organization of this union is of
immense Importance to all apple
growers of that section, states one
report, because it is expected to es-
tablish the fact that the apple crop
there can be handled as successfully
as that of Hood river; that as fine ap-
pies can be produced; that they can
be packed in the same way, and that
brand can be established that will al
ways command high price for the
apples sold under the auspices Of the
organization.
An interesting transaction just an
nounced is the purchase Of the choice
apples of several orchards by Fremont
Wood of Boise. He found there was
fine fruit over there and proceeded to
purchase some 10 or a dozen carloads.
With his experience in packing, he
knows what can be done in the way
Of preparing the fruit to command
high price and he proposes to place
the apples on the market under condi-
lions that will make them sought after
Mr.. Wood has sent R c. Brock over
there to pack the apples. When the
latter finishes the work he will super
wise the packing of apples for other
members Of the union. Mr.. Brock is
from Hood river, having come over to
assist Mr.. Wood last year, returning
this season to take charge of thinning
and packing. Another man from Hood
river will come here to take charge
of the packing in Mr.. Woods home or
chard.
Mr.. Wood purchased the Jonathans
and Rome Beauties from the orchards
of B. T. Tussing, the Payette Fruit &
Investment company and c.. c. Eiffee.
He also purchased the Loveland Or
chard at New Plymouth and will han
die the crop of the orchard Of E. c.
Hickman.

PROSSER, Oct. 13.-Politics in
Prosser are rapidly reaching the acuvs

prospective county seat fight two or
four years from now between Prosser
and Kennewick At the republican
county convention at Kennewick, the
Prosser republicans asked for only two
places on the county ticket, representa-
tive and county commissioner. But
they got neither, Kennewsck, all the

the entire delegations and not giving
Prosser a single place on the ticket.

The democratic convention, which
was held later at Prosser, turned the
tables on the east end of the county

this city for representative; D. H.
Harper, a prominent business man, for
county Commissioner, and several other

now party alignments are practically

east end against the west, which may
result in the election of democratic
representative from a county which,
under normal conditions, would be re-

Hover. The Prosser Bulletin does not

porting the state ticket, but has not
vet put up a county ticket, severely
criticizing the action Of the republican
convention for doing such an injustice
to Prosser. Last week it came out
for D. H. Harper, the democratic NOM
inee. for county commissioner, taking
the position that politics should not be
considered when the election of Mr..
Travis, of Horse Heaven, the repub-
lican nominee, would leave the county
seat without representative on the
board.
Prosser More PopuIous.
The registration in Prosser precinct,
which is now over 400, will probably
pass the 500 mark, it having more
votes than Kennewick and the con-
tiguous precincts of Richland, Finley
and Hover combined. In addition to
the vote in Prosser, Rattlesnake, Glade
Paterson and Expansion, west end
precincts, will also furnish support for
the democratic nominees for the legis-
lature and county commissioner.
The platform of neither party men,
tions the county seat. 1t will require
a so per cent vote to move the county
seat and Kiona may also be an aspir-
ant when the fight really comes.
