NATIVE BEAR HUNT
In Which Famous Hunter Displayed
Agility That Was Mar
velous.

Bear hunting as pursued by the
Alaska native is an interesting game,
remarked ]. P. Gardiner, a Nome miner,
reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
81 witnessed bear hunt on Kadiac is
land a few months ago. A big brown
bear, one of the species famlllarly
known on Kadiac island and the other
Aleutian islands, was Fostering the set
Element. and native who bore wide
reputation for prowess among his peo-
pie decided to go after the animal. Be-
fore starting on The expedition, now
ever. he went to his mother and obtained
her permission. His mother was the
oldest woman Of the tribe, and without
her consent he wouldn't Nave stirred an
'nch. She gave her consent, so the ma
tive hunter, armed only with knife,
started out. Three more Of us, with
rifles, accompanied him. We agreed
among us to allow the native to. have
the first chance at the bear and to shoot
only if he failed to kill the beast.
1--WE came upon the bear in q ravine.
The native crouched on the ground -
the bear came up. We became quite ex-
cited. It was to be hand-to-hand bat
tie, and we feared the native would get
the worst Of it. AS the bear approached
the native it reared on its hind legs.
We had our guns ready for instant ac-
ton. But the guns were not needed.
Quick as flash the native sprang up and
had his knife plunged into the animals
heart and was away several steps before
the bear knew what had happened. It
was death blow. and we packed the pelt
back to Karluk in triumph"

.eFewer GALLONS; Wears Longer"

The secret is out and Okolona can
go on living just as If the riddle had
never been asked
No it can't either. Okolona is not
going to be what it was before. It's
houses are going to be brighter; its
people little more prosperous-they
are going to have some of their money
left to buy other things with,
The answer to the riddle is this: you
can paint building with fewer gal
Ions of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint
than with mixed paints, and 1t will
wear several times as long as build
ing painted with lead and oil mixed
by hand.
There's proof abundant Of it All over
the United States There will soon b.
proof abund Mt of it in Okolona.

their MONEY?

The Holly Beach Board of Trade did

every member OF this board. who has
in the least, the concern, welfare and
progress of the Borough of Holly Beach
at heart, to attend its meetings and by
their presence make it possible to ac-
compllsh the object for which this
Board of Trade was organized. Only
by continuous and persistent united
action will anything for the public
good be achieved. And it should be
remembered that the public good means
in the largest and best sense the gain
and welfare of each individual.
A special meeting of the board has
been called for next Friday evening,
July q, at $50 O'Clock. An earnest
request for full attendance is here
with made by the president,

WILDWOOD CREST

The growth at this place is almost
startling in its rapidity and effective
ness. The fact that over POO people have
purchased land within eight months
and that between 20 and 80 houses of
high class, many of them finished,
are being erected is an unmatched rec
ord of development and progress.
w. V. Silvers, of Camden, has tent
ing party at Wildwood Crest for the
season during the erection of his cot
tage at this growing resort. His rela-
tives, Frank Silvers and H. K. Heri-

soon become regulars here.
Forces of men are still busy laying
cement pavements and curbs and the
streets are being graded, graveled and
having sewers placed, while other work.
men are busy completing the trolley
road, electric lighting and underground
telephone system.
The Crest amusement pier is open and
a high-class company is playing to
large audiences nightly in the cosy

is we'll filled with Philadelphia guests.
Rev. H. Watson Barras, pastor of
Franford avenue Baptist church, Phila-
delphia, has purchased three lots here
and expects to have summer home

A popular diversion of visitors here
is to see the landing of the big pound

of all kinds.
One of the recent additions to those
who have become interested in the Crest
is II. J. Algert, of Watsontown, Pa,
