KILL ANOTHER BEAR.

L. L. Cook and G.. Terry, two of the
men employed at Camp on the Tie
ton, were in town yesterday and tell
of the capture of two bears on the
way down. While at breakfast Fri
day the crew espied several bear
within short distance of the camp
and hunt was Immediately inaug-
urated. After long chase the quar-
ry was overtaken and a fight ensued
In. which the mother bear and one of
her cubs were shot and Cook was
given a severe blow on the right arm.
After the older bear was wounded she
took to the brush and was followed
for some distance by the dogs and
when finally killed it was discovered
that it had taken eleven shots to do
the work. The meat was distributed
along the various camps in the Tie
ton, and some was brought to the
city, the hide remaining in the camp
as trophy.
The boys report large numbers of
bear in the vicinity of the camp, east
ly being seen each morning within
shooting distance.

INCREASE AT HIGH SCHOOL.
Eighteen Hundred Pupils i'm Grade
Building and $40 in High
School.

Attendance at the North Yakima
high school increased twenty per
cent for the first week of school over
the similar week of 1907, according
to reports returned to Supt. Reed,
while the attendance at the grade
buildings is much larger this year.
There are 1900 pupils in the grades
so far, and SIG in the high school.
This attendance will materially in
crease during the year, and at the
end it is expected there will be about
1900 grade pupils enrolled and $50
in the high school.
The attendance shows that the
population of North Yakima is in
creasing and that the present popula-
ton can be safely figured at $4,000
within the school district.
