How it happened that the war cor
respondents at Washington found out
about J. Adam Bede's conference on
bears with President Roosevelt does
not appear. However, a full report of
the Minnesota congressman tales has
been made. It makes an alluring doc

Bede sought the president with the

why, bears are common things with
us up In Minnesota. Mr.. President.
Last year five bears held up one of
our trolley cars. They were two old

George Daniels Barely Missed b.
Bullet While Deer Hunting.

The Ovid deer hunting party COM
posed of Ct. B. Daniels, George Stan
lake, Herbert Austin, Clarence Haight
and John Sherman, have returned from
the northern peninsula. They succeed
ed in getting three deer. but the dan
ger in the woods caused them to stalt
for home before filling their licenses.
George Daniels had close call-one
that he will remember for some time
and he was lucky in not receiving the
bullet. George had just killed deer
and after hanging it up started up a
small hill. He stopped to look through
the brush, when-whiz-a bullet
cut off small poplar shrub about one
step in front of him. He was thorough
ly frightened and dropped to the ground,
expecting more lead. He afterwards
measured the stub which had been cut
off and found that if he had taken an
other step the bullet would have struck
him in the hip. He did not hunt any
more that day. Other members of the
party heard the sing of bullets, and il
was fortunate that none were killed OF

The following editorial comment by
the editor of the Adrian Telegram is
directly to the point. What is said
about the purchase money for the post
Office site is as true in Owosso as Ad-
Iian, and THE TIMES hopes to see the
time come when Congressman Fordney
will be able to secure an appropriation
covering the amount paid by the city
and by individual subscription. The
editor of the Telegram says:
The people of Adrian can soon see
how much better it would have been to
have waited little while and secured a
larger appropriation before building
the new postoffice. Up at the little
town of Owosso, not nearly so large as
Adrian, an appropriation of $4,000
has been voted for a postoffice. In ad-
dition to that, $1,000 additional has
been appropriated for site. Editor
E. D. Dewey, of the Owosso Times, has
just published The Telegram cut of the
Adrian postoffice with a view of edu-
eating the people of his city as to about
the size of building they are likely to
get. He says Owosso people are ex
will be erected. If Adrian had been
content to wait little while, it strikes
me that it would have been possible to
have secured larger appropriation.
While the new postoffice is very hand
some and sufficiently large possibly for
present needs, there is no question but
that if Adrian keeps growing, ten years
from now, it will be inadequate for its
purposes. The growth of the rural
mail delivery is likely to prove some
thing very large in the next few years.
And it will undoubtedly be necessary
to make additional provision for the
same.
Over at Pontiac the government has
bought its own postoffice site at cost
of about $l5, ,O00 At Owosso $5, 900 was
appropriated for site. The citizens of
Adrian, or practically those who believ-
ed the location Of the postoffice on the
Conger block site would help their
property, went down deep in their
pockets for site. Even if it does help
their property, 1 believe the govern
ment ought to pay back every cent con-
tributed. And l do not hesitate to say
that 1 hope Congressman Townsend
will offer a bill to reimburse the con-
tributors to the Adrian postoffice site,
and pay them back in full. The Adrian
postoffice is clearing from $4,000 to
$15, 900 year for the government, the
government is buying its sites else
where, and there is no reason why it
should not pay for the Adrian site.
There is one thing about the new
postoffice that business men will ap-
preciate more later. 1t is located 80
far from the center Of the business dis
trict that the walk to the Office and
back will be found to furnish enough
exercise to prove sure cure and pre-
ventative of indigestion.

Elks' Thanksgiving Party.

The dancing party at the Elks' tenn
pie last evening, under the auspices of
Owosso Lodge B. p. o. Elks, was a
grand success and furnished most
pleasant evening for nearly one hun
dred couples, noticeable among the
dancers being many out Of town guests
and large number of the high school
boys and girls, the latter making their
first appearance at party of the kind.
The entire temple was used for the
party, two floors being filled with coup
les until the lunch hour when all were
compelled to use the lower dance floor.
Tubbs full orchestra furnished excellent
music from six to twelve o'clock, the
early starting hour being new and
popular idea, although some were timid
about starting 1t gives full program
of dances and allows people to get home
at reasonable hour.
An appetizing lunch was served at
9:30 in the upper front room, prepared
by Mrs. Warren and served by members
of the lodge. The lower floor furnished
place for amusement for those who
did not dance, or who desired a few
minutes rest. The old and formerly
popular square dance was tried but few
seemed to care for it and the waltz and
two step were the only dances the crowd
wanted. The party was certainly a
success, socially and financially, and il
is hoped the lodge will give others.
