5ear Hunters and the Red Headed One

The sportsmen in this section have
been having a good time, game OF
most any kind is plentiful. Recently a
party went out from here on bear
hunt, consisting OF Messrs. Winfield
Jackson, Arthur Thatcher, r. J. Rice
and two gentlemen from New Bern,
they found the bear, but one OF the
party mistook Mr. Winfield Jackson
for the bear, and shot him twice, and
frightened him so that he ran about
three miles, swan the creek, and got
lost In the woods, he finally reached
home after dark without any hat or
coat on. one OF the coolest days we
have had this winter, but fortunately
he has not suffered much inconveni-
ence from the effects Of the shot. We
think the mans eyesight must have
been defective who shot him for a
bear for we have never seen bear so
red as Jackson's head. He says he will
not go on another bear hunt with the
same crowd.-New Bern Journal

Black Cat Football Teams Mascot.

The strange sight of black cat as
the travelling mascot of a football
team was witnessed in connection

Bradford, on Saturday. Early in the
season a fine, glossy black cat strayed

ball club at Thrun: Vail. Some mem

good fortune, and In keeping with a

In the course OF Astoria's work, and

seaport, it is very essential that there be
provided, ways, and places, and means
for the lightering OF ballast tonnage,

the primary and prime, requirements OF

is not, at hand. such facilities as can
be utilized without loss Of time, then

on the bay, and perhaps, doekage to
suit the purpose, must get to work and
devise system that shall meet the
urgency. and at the same time make an
honest dollar out of it,

then the Chamber of Commerce must
put its energies at work in this behalf
and see to it that no time is lost in
attaining to such an establishment,
There viii be ship in this port in
few days with several hundred tons OF
ballast to remove, and her agent here
is exceedingly anxious to hold her here
and make the task an easy and as rea-
sonahle as he can for her owners and
her master. The very fact that we can
discharge ballast, under fair conditions
as to time and cost, will be another
element of advantage in favor of our
marine program, and as this function
is among the first things demanded by
incoming vessels, it should be met read
ily and successfully.
There are scores OF lots all over the
city that need filling, and good ballast
will serve admirably in this direction;
and an advertisement calling for specific
privileges in this line, at fair comPen'
sation, should meet with widespread ac,
ceptance at the hands of propeNy-own-
ers to whom such chance OF improving
their lands, would be invaluable. Some
thing must be done in this relation with

ASTORIA LISTED FIRST.

On Monday and Tuesday OF this
week there was held, at Portland, a
conference OF the local managers OF the
Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
Company. from all over the State of
Oregon, some 80 in number, called to-
gether to meet the new division superin-
tenient of Oregon, Mr.. J. w. Gilkyson,
just up from California, to relieve Mr.,
J. H. Thatcher, who becomes general
agent for the concern in Oregon, a pro-
motion peculiarly fitting the man who
has done SO much TO extend and up
build the service in this state luntil, in
the vast confusion and dis-arrangement
OF the company's affairs incident to the
physical and moral upheaval of San
Francisco, his efforts were, for the time
being. nullifedl.
These representative officers went
over each particular situation in the
State of Oregon, with the local man
ager reporting from each place, and at
the close of the conference, which is
said to have been the most thorough
affair of its kind on the coast in years
they we're in possession of the fullest
detail respecting every point of service
here, and when the assemblage broke
up, every man returned to his post with
a wider knowledge of his business than
he ever had, and this supplemented
with orders that will make for the in
slant improvement OF every department
in the state.
The Astoria manager, Mr.. J. A. Brun-
old, left his new chief, with the positive
assurance that Astoria stood first on
the list for investment with the new and
modern equipment that shall place this
city on a par with the best service on
the coast, and that this was understood
at San Francisco as well; and while the
exact date of the improvement could not
be given, he was directed to get his de-
partment in receptive shape for the big
work and to hold himself and his force
in readiness for orders at an early day.
Mr.. Brunold is only too glad to get in
line for this development, and will lose
no instant of time that shall contribute
to the re-establishment Of the Astorian
system.

remarkable fact that not single life

some pretty savage comment on the

sailing north, to Nome, after he had
discovered their dangerous condition and
had conferred with Captain Muchisor
Of the lost Currier. The subsequent ar

unaccountable and wholly acceptable;

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The annual
report Of Brigadeer- General Thomas II.
Barry, commanding the army Of Cuban
pacifcation, made public at the War
strength of that army on June 30, 1907
strength of that army onJune 3O,l9O1,
was 5,577 officers and men. Of his force
1916 were in the regular army and l,O3l
belonged to the marine corps. The moral
effect of the presence of American SOL
diers, General Barry says, has been good
and thugh the Cuban army is small in
numbers, the entire island has been
thoroughly covered and no occasion arose
for the use of force.
General Barry says there has been
great difficulty in obtaining recruits to
keep the military organizations up to
their proper strength. His command
needs l,lS6 men to fill the organizations
to their authorized quota. He makes
the following recommendations:
Increases in the pay Of officers and
enlisted men; reorganization of the mo-
bile army and immediate increase OF
the infantry, by "a regiments; increase
of term of enlistment from three to five
years; establishment Of the army
canteen; revision of the system of de-
failing commissioned officers for special
duties and separating them from their
commands, and that the President be
authorized to detail retired officers fol-
active duty whenever in his discretion
their services are needed.
