TO Open Big
LOST RIVER LANDS

The Capital News of the 18th inst.
says:
Charles Spierman, assistant state en-
gineer, returned yesterday from the Big
Lost River Land & Irrigation project.
He reports that the work is being done
in first class order and is progressing
in a satisfactory manner on the canals,
but that the river is still too high for
the construction outfit to make much
Roadway on the DAMS
The opening of the tract will take
place September 4 at Powell station
on the Mackey branch of the Short Line.
Arco and Blackfoot are the nearest
points where hotel accommodations can
be had and the company has arranged
for sleepers on the siding and will
pitch a large tent close by where meals
will be served
The townsite for the lower tract has
not yet been definitely located but Arco
will be aconvenient place to obtain sup
plies and will also be the town for set
tiers on the upper tract, but this land
will probably not be opened until next
year. In the meantime a new town will
be built on the lower tract
Guy c. Barnum, one of the promoters
of the project, will leave next Monday
for the Pacific coast on business for the
company

THE INSPECTOR
and THE BEAR

Forest Supervisor E. Grandjean, and
Inspector F. w. Reed of the National
Forest Service, returned the other day
from an extended trip through the Saw
tooth National Forest They report the
range conditions in the section they in
spected as being good.
While on the North Fork of the Yuba
River, they had a thrilling experience
with a she-bear and her two cubs
From the disconnected accounts given of
the affair by both the Supervisor and the
Inspector, the following account is in all
probability the true one:
The two men we're walking along the
trail and leading their horses through
some dense brush, when they were star
tied by a series of squeals and grunts.
Parting the brush in front of them
they discovered the origin of the I'M
earthly sounds to be two bear cubs
whom they had startled from feast
on the remains of nice spring lamb,
but to their horror they discovered that
they had awakened the mother of the
cubs from her peaceful slumbers in the
nearby brush, and that she was bearing
down upon them at a fearful pace Sup
ervisor Grandjean who has always been
at home in the mountains, threw him

self hurriedly on his horse and raced
rapidly from the scene, but Inspector
Reed was less fortunate, for the growls
OF the enraged bear and the squeals of
her startled offspring frightened his
horse and it pulled away from him
leaving him to face the enraged mother
The Inspector is an all-around athlete
and he frightened up his belt three holes,
gave his trousers an extra lift, and gave
backward leap of close to IS feet,
ducked vicious right swing from the
Queen of the Sawtooth" and started
afoot in the wake of Supervisor Grand
jean, with the bear a close second at
his heels. Mr. Reed who has record
of a 100 yard dash in 9 As seconds, COW
cred a distance of one mile in record
breaking time, far outclassing the bear,
and caught up to Supervisor Grandjean,
who had by this time secured the run
away horse and they both hurriedly
placed many miles between them
selves and the scene of their narrow
escape. They both state that hereafter
on trips through the National Forests,
they will be fully equipped with the
latest high power magazine rifles.
