STEAMER HITS ROCK IN FOG
City of Topeka Strikes at Point Arena
but is Able to Reach Port in
Safety.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1O.-The
Pacific Coast Steamship company's
steamer, City Of Topeka, bound from
Eureka to San Francisco, struck on
the rocks at Point. Arena early yester-
day morning in fog.
Just before the accident the captain
saw the Point Arena light and ordered
the helm put over. The steamer
struck a glancing blow but succeeded
in reaching open water and headed for
this port at full speed with her pumps
going.
She arrived here shortly after I
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The pas
sengers were asleep and none knew
that the steamer had struck until she
was at the wharf.
The City of Topeka will be placed
in the drydock today.

MONSTER BEAR cHAsEs olEFkA
Fierce Forest Fires in Minnesota
Drives Wild Animals Out Of
The! Woods.

FRAZEE, Mimi, Sept. 1O.-Charles
Olefka of Height township
was chased around his farmhouse by
a huge black bear. Fortunately he had
left the door Of his house partly OPP
ened, and. though it was in the middle
of the night, he just dashed through
the door as the angered bear began to
push and scratch upon it.
Mr.. Olefka heard something scratch
ing at the side Of the house and think
the cattle were loose, went downstairs
attired just as he had been sleeping,
and into the yard. No sooner was
he in the dark than he saw the big
dark object moving towards him.
Mr. Olefka held the door closed with
some diiculty, as the bear endeavOred
to get inside the house. Then bruin
moved to the window, and Mr.. Olefka
shot it. The bear rushed off and Olef-
ka chased him with some dogs. He
came up to him in the woods and
again shot him, this time fatally.
The bear was brought to Frazee yes
terday and weighed $50 pounds, ands
was almost black The meat was
quickly purchased by citizens.
Mr. Olefka says that fires have been
raging fiercely in the woods northwest
of Frazee, and they have driven the
wild beasts from their seclusion to the
lands which are cultivated. In conse-
quence of the fire it is expected that
wild game will be plentiful in the
northwestern part of Becker county
this year. Bear, deer, moose and
wolves are the chief animals in the
territory.

A new and very useful household ar

When properly applied it will remove
all dust and dirt without stirring it up
to settle on goods or furniture. For
cleaning the floors Of offices and stores
it is a splendid article.

company, arrived in the city this
morning from a business trip 20
Portland, Boise City and Pendleton
In the two latter places the Warren
company has extensive paving con-
tracts which it is now at work on.
Both Boise and Pendleton are rap
idly forging to the front and the
business men told me they were ex-
pecting a big fall trade" said Mr..
Reese this morning. "Bolse enter
tanned the National Irrigation congress
last week in royal style and it will
prove a big advertisement for that
part of Idaho. Delegates from all over
the United States were in attendance
and the Boise people fairly outdld
themselves in entertaining the visl-

Business seems good in Pendleton,
Umatilla county harvested a big
wheat crop again this year and in
consequence trade in all lines is good
We are getting along nicely with our

streets will prove a big boon to Pen

The building of the Riparia-Lew-
iston branch Of the o. r. & N. and
the n. P. branch to Grangeville, has

Lewiston, opening up to development
vast scope of rich farming and tim
Der land.
1.-The o. r. & N. expects to have the
lewiston Riparia branch in operation
by the first of the year. The Lewis

up big scope of country.
Lewiston and Charleston we esti-
mate have a population of about H.
900 people now. Building operations
in both towns have been stupenduous
this year. In Lewiston alone there are
Is brick buildings going up with others
