GREAT BEAR COUNTRY.
Representative Bede of Minnesota
Tells the President About Big
GANG Hunting in Duluth.

How it happened that the war cor
| respondents at Washington found out
| about ]. Adam Bede's conference on
| bears with President Roosevelt does
not appear. However, full report of
the Minnesota Congressman's tales
has been made. and was made public
in the New York Evening Post. 1t
| makes an alluring document. Mr. Bede,
| who ie the acknowledged wit of the
House, sought the President with the
friendliest intention. You like to
| shoot BEARS" said "Jadam," diplo-
matically. Mr. Roosevelt admitted it.
But you don't have to go into the
wild West for your sport" went on the
Minnesota statesman. Think of this
fact: thirteen bears were shot in the
streets of Duluth last year-in Du-
luth, the pride of the Northwest. that
beautiful city on the great unsalted
sea-" The statement had perceptible
effect on the President. and Mr.. Bede
was encouraged to go on. Its the
only place in the whole world, Mr..
President, where you can go bear
hunting by trolley car, under the cleo
trio light, and on asphalt pavements.
We have all the conveniences so dear
to the heart of the true sportsman,
and without leaving your hunting
ground you can walk across the street
to the mail box and drop in postal
card to your friends, telling them all
about the game you have bagged."
With the Congressman was a Duluth
constituent, a lady with first-hand
knowledge of bear hunting in that
city. She added her corroborative
statement: "Oh, yes, Mr. President, q
short time ago friend of mine heard
a noise outside his window, and on
,,t hot q hoe r
ing to climb a telegraph pole. He shot
that fellow without leaving his be d.
room" Then, to the joy of the Pres l.
dent Mr.. Bede took up the tale: 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 ones and
three cubs. This occurred right in the
streets of Duluth. The big fellow got
in front of the car and put his paw
on the dashboard, driving the motor
man off. while mamma and the Gu bs
went around after the conductor. After
they had had enough of this sport tn ey
raised the siege and trotted off toward
the outskirts of the city. oh, no, we
don't let the bears trouble US much.
When they get too bothersome we turn
them over to the police, who drive
them out of town; but it's great bear
country up there, and I'm sure you
would like to see a bit of it." Now, If
it is announced that President Roose-
welt means to take a vacation up in
the Minnesota woods, the correspond
ents may go straight to Duluth, where,
as Mr.. Bede is true prophet, the
great bear slayer may be found sitting
in the door of an up-to-date hotel,
rifle across his knees. waiting for the
promised snort

Egg Farms of California.
BY T. F. McGREw,

W
Many years ago l assisted a friend
in the loading of car of poultry for
| California. This car was shipped from
Central Ohio, and the fowls contained
therein We're very well selected from
| flocks of desirable varieties. The
| owner of this car crossed the CONT.
nent in care of his birds and settled in
Central California. Reports from
there few years later told direful
story of the impossibillty of success
in poultry-growing in California.
1t is unnecessary to relate the many
troubles experienced, except to say
that the amateur in poultry at that
time imagined that the birds would
live and prosper in the California eli
mate without proper shelter within
houses during the cold. damp weather
a close study of these conditions
has entirely eliminated all these mis-
takes. and to-day there is no place
in the United States where there is an
enthusiasm equal to that found
throughout California with reference
to this Industry.
The construction of proper houses.
the selecting of proper breeds and the
proper caring for them has built up an
enormous egg business through that
section of the country.
In the neighborhood of Petaluma,
more Leghorn fowls are probably kept
for producing the whte-shelled eggs
for the California city markets than
can be found within the same number
of miles in any other place in the
world. one enthusiastic visitor to that
locality has made the statement that
every acre in the fifty thousand acres
visited contained hundred Leghorns.
The climate of Southern California,
the beauties of the scenery, the pleas
ure of fruit cultivation and the profit
able growing of poultry have attracted
many hundreds to that section to en-
bark in these pursuits under pleasant
conditions.
A Mr.. Brownlow who purchased
few acres of ground in that locality
ten years ago has built up for himself,
with the assistance of his wife and
children. n most profitable combination
of poultry fruit, bees and squads. all
of which thrive continually under the
softer climates of that locality, ena-
bling these people to produce broilers
every month with a minimum amount
Of care and attention, the fruit and
bees being a remarkable source of
profit during the greater part of the
year.

Isthmus of Panama created something
of a sensation here. Secretary Taft
has replied to the aspersions of Mr..
Bigelow with characteristic vigor and
thoroughness. 1t appears that the
writer of the Independent articles
spent but twenty-eight hours on the
Isthmus in pursuit of the material for
his arraignment of the present man
agement of the canal construction.
The credulity with which he seems to
have listened to statements of dis
gruntled or incompetent persons, both
in New York and in Panama, is quite
amazing in one who has sonnet hing of
a reputation as special correspond
ent. The wide reputation of Mr..
Bigelow and the apparent sincerity OF
his language lent to his contribution
a degree of verisimilitude. When it
is considered in connection with Mr..
Taft's refutation, however, it can only
excite contempt.
