The Worlds Largest Bear

"Tbe record breaking bear of the world from the wilds of the Alaskan Peninsula now makes bis first bow to the general public through the pages of this magazine For nearly year this great trophy has been in the hands of the taxidermists, who have patiently and skillfully modelled this giant form in clay and snugly fitted over the same his immense coat of brown fur. 1 have just had some close glimpses of the huge creature behind the scenes of the preparation department of the Museum of Natural History, New York, and also obtained a series of typical photos showing his natural appearance in life, together with au interesting account related by a member of the hunting expedition, as to locality and some of the incidents connected with his cap ture.
 "First, here are some of the enormous proportions of the big bear: In life he was about the size of an OK, and meas ured nearly nine feet from tip to tail, stood five feet in height and weighed l,6OO pounds. A striking idea of the size of the skin can be gained from the accompanying photos in comparison with a six-foot man standing in the center. The great hide would easily afford a cover for eight or ten sleeping men, while the spread of one of his loug.clawe6 feet takes up a square foot of tgrouud-Technical World Magazine.

ton. Mr.. Bader is one of those take
a-chance kind, but the chances he has
taken lately consisted for the most
part In buying real estate and holding
onto 1t until it was worth many times
what he paid for 1t. He is prominent
member of the chamber of commerce
in the northern city and can open the
zemzem SO fast that the pop of corks
sounds like bombardment with rapid

Reduced to the Ranks
Frank Lambourn is a Democrat, and
he's proud of 1t. At the last election in
Tacoma Mr.. Lambourn was in line to
succeed himself as councilman, but the
city went Republican, and now the
genial Frank is nothing but a common
citizen.
That's what happened to DR.. Royal
Cove, too. DR.. Cove is also a Demo-
crat. and thought that he had a life
position in the ranks Of the Tacoma
city fathers, but the Republican ava
lanche swept him back to private life
and out Of the way Of municipal af-
fairs.
S. r. Balkwill peddles the loan when
he is home. That is, he sells real es-
tate, and lots of it, too. r. A. Rice Is
assistant cashier in that institution Of
immense financial strength, the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of Tacoma.
Former Senator John G.. Campbell
came with the bunch because he
couldn't help 1t, and E. S. Price, who
gathered in enough Tacoma tide lands
to net him a big fortune, is along to
get rid of the surplus which has
accrued since he last visited Los An
geles.

Fifty-five of the faithful and as many
of the faithfulesses from TGngier lodge
at Omaha arrived on the Omaha speciai
Yesterday afternoon, and after preak-
ing away from the reception committee
some Of them stopped at the King Ed
ward hotel and others stopped wherever
they could
The members of Tangier lodge are
called Tangerines. A tangerine, remem~
ber, is an orange, not a lemon.
Potentate l.. M. Talmage is in charge
of the Omaha people. Talmage, when
he works, is assistant cashier OF the
United States National bank OF Omaha,
and he quit counting other peoples
money long enough to come TO Call
fornia and count his own.
The one remarkable thing about the
people from Omaha is that they have
all signed the pledge. None of them
drink There was not a drop of zem-
zem on board the train and not drop
of the stuff was inhaled by the men
from Omaha. Their train was held up
at Pasadena, and it was found that all
the oil had disappeared from the feed
box of the engine. 1t is said that some
Of the Tangerines were seen creeping
thirstily toward that oil box just be-
fore reaching Pasadena, but this they
deny, and it Is therefore supposed that
maybe they didn't drink the oil.
With the Omaha Shriners is Jess M.
Jessen of Barstow, who came over the
hot sands to join his lodgemen. Mr..
Jessen, when seen yesterday. had bad
cold and several other Shriner en-
blems.

TAKE SKIN OFF DESERT
CITIES
Algeria Temple Does Not Forget
Very Much That Goes to
Make Up Fancy
Racket

Just about the warmest thing that
ever hit a defenseless municipality
descended upon the Angel City some
where about noon yesterday.
1t came with such crash and took
the town so completely off it's feet that
nobody was able to see the face of a
clock and mark the exact minute and
second.
1t came from Butte, Mont, and 1t
called itself Algeria.
From afar off word crept over the
desert that a caravan in all its rich
pamoply of silk and splendor was
headed for the great oasis to pitch
tents for a space with the camels and
their riders from other GASES.
Came this word and yet another
the bunch is raising h! Oh, ye
mobiles of AL Malaikah forbear to fill in
the blank, and Angel ladies turn your
ears away.
That was only rumor, but the truth
of it was established beyond a doubt
when the train pulled into the depot.
The bunch, headed by the Boston
Montana band, a musical organization
that is without peer in the land,
marched from the train to the Alex
andria and the natives stood still in
awe.
There were seven coaches of them
all possessed with the same idea, and
also possessed with a desire to pass
that idea along.
There was not a man in the party
who could speak in his natural voice,
and the noble physicians declare that
the crowd will have to depart with
out allowing the Angelenos to hear
their natural musical tones. They
scattered their voices along the road.
Tonopah came in for a share and then
Goldfield got big piece. Beatty and
Rhyolite came in for the half of the
last remaining shreds and zem-Zem
consumed the remainder.
The caravan went through Nevada.
To anyone who has ever been to Ne
vada that tells the story in nut shell.
Edwin Brewster, California's own
Booster" as he is called by his
friends, was in the foreground.
He went from Los Angeles to Tono-
pah and from there he carried greet
ings to the temple and piloted the no.
bles into the mining camps.
Every One Claims "Booster"
Booster is a noble of Algeria tenn
ple and he also spends whole lot of
his time in Nevada, but he has home
in Avalon and great big yacht out
there that was only launched few
weeks ago. Montana claims him, Me-
vada claims him and California has
him. To Algeria he carried the key
to the city of Tonopah and when he
had done honors for Nevada, he did
them for California.
All along the way to Tonopah the
Boston Montana band made a musical
| noise, the mobiles quenched their thirst
! with zem-zem and the natives opened
| their eyes.
| At Tonopah the real things began
to happen. The Algeria temple began
.'to raise h" in earnest.

NORTHERN BUNCH
ALL GOOD FELLOWS
SPECIAL USED AS HONEYMOON
TRAIN
Three Newly Married Couples Aboard
Furnish Amusement for Oregon,
Washington and British
Columbia

Driving their camels with the reins
wrapped around the saddle pommels
the delegation of Shriners from up
around Oregon, Washington and Brit
ish Columbia arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday morning and scattered them
selves around the town to their differ
ent tents. Three temples-Afifi of Ia
coma, FL Kader of Portland and Ell
Katif of Spokane-as well as a few
mobiles from Victoria, came on the
fourteen car special over the Southern
Pacific, and taken as a whole they are
about the best fellows that could be
found
The northerners had all kinds Of ex-
element and fun coming over the hot
sands, and soon after the start from
Portland j. M. Waterhouse of FL
Kader temple was installed as master
of the buffet and general high poten-
tate for the trip. Many cases of zem-
zem were loaded aboard before the
pilgrims left the home village and it
wasn't any of the Milwaukee zem.
either. The kind that sparkles and
pops the corks of the springs was all
that the northern delegation would use
as thirst quenchers and the empty cases
went overheard in punches all along
the line.
Three Sets of Brides
Right after the start Henry Bader,
searching the train for what might
look like a little amusement to while
away the time between Zems, came
across the real prizes Of the trip
three different sets Of brides-and, of
course, like number of freshly ini-
tiated grooms. What the Shriners did
to their fellow mobiles who had desert
ed the ranks Of the bachelors was a
oh nd fharQ civ n
least who were thankful when the car
avan finally landed on AL Malaikah
oasis.
One of the newly turned benedicts
was Noble Robbins of Ell Katif tenn
pie, who was tied up with the nuptial
knot the Friday before he left the
home oasis. Walter Sutter of Afifl was
another, and the identity of the third
Is concealed because, so they say, he
was treated shamefully by his fellow
mobiles and should be left to his bride
for the rest Of the week.
All Good Fellows
There were all sorts of good fellows
on the northwest special and the no.
bles thereon are confident that one Of
their number will be given a place on
the imperial council at this weeks
elections. DR.. F. J. Schug is the noble
they have in view and his claims to the
office of imperial outer guard will be
urgently advanced by the Sound
dwellers. The doctor, who is one of the
most popular Shriners in the north
west, has represented his temple at
the annual conclaves for ten years
without missing a session, and in all
that time he has never held an office.
He has been the government marine
surgeon at the Tacoma navy yard for
seventeen years and knows everybody
from one end Of the state to the other

The child came into the world in Mex
leo City January 21, and has come all
the way across the hot sands of the
Mexican desert to gather in Los Ange-
les with it's older brothers and sisters.
The child has been christened Anezeh,
and though 1t Is the youngest offspring
OF the Shrine, it already has los men,
bers.
Anezeh temple is the first Shrine tenn
pie in Mexico and the delegates have
come up here to show that they are the
real thing.
Quarters were opened in the Alexand-
dia and G. r. Pullen, the potentate, was
installed as host. Some of the choicest
products of Mexico were brought to re-
gale the visitors to this room. Zem-zem
of truly Mexican quality, such as is
found in no other shrine in the world,
has been placed on tap, and every vari-
ETY. Of Mexican cigarette awaits the vis-
itor.
The souvenir Of the temple is an onyx
paperweight bearing the name of the

decorated with Mexican blankets of the
choicest kind Mexican and American
flags are combined in the arrangement
of the room and large picture of Pres
ident Diaz, who is member of the tenn
pie, occupies prominent place. This
will be given to the imperial potentate
at the close Of the shrine.
1t is autographed with the names of
the members of the temple. A picture
of Jose Mariscal, another member of the
temple, is also prominent feature Of
the Mexican babys display.
The temple is the only one born this
year, and all the leading physicians Of
the country who have arrived in Los
Angeles have examined it and declare
its lungs sound and its heart in the
right place.
In spite of it's youth, the baby is al
lowed to consume just as much zem-
zem as the older temples, and yet the
child has never been known to have a
sick day-not even a headache.

The Arizona Shriners arrived at the
Hollenbeck yesterday morning as the
other passengers on their train can tes-

$40 o'clock yesterday morning and
then woke them up again at 4 o'clock.
The Bisbee bunch feel as if they had
been hustling some, as they did not
decide to come until Friday, on ac-
count of the labor troubles there, and
they left Saturday, and if you see a
Bisbee Shriner come up and slap an
other on the back you will know why.
They are congratulating themselves on
their prowess in ousting the Phoenix
Shriners, who wanted to butt in and
come with the Tucson delegation. They
are there with the goods all right.
There are twenty-four men in the
