PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK
WITH BIG BLACK BEAR.
Leslie Sesar Has Time Of His Life On
Doeewailips River Hunting
Bruin.

BRINNON. Feb. 25.-Leslie Sega,
played a game of hide and seek with
la big black bear last week, which he
win not soon forget. Segar, who is 20
years old, went hunting with Fred Da
Wis on the north bank of the Docewal-
lips river.
Stepping on log. which turned ur-
expectedly, he was precipitatej into
a wallow where Bruin lay asleep. The
big fellow bounded up and knocked the
rifle from his disturber's hand. Segar
jumped behind a tree. For five minutes
there was the liveliest game of peek
a-boo that the young hunter ever par
ticipated in.
At first he was too badly frightened
to yell But when he recovered his
composure he let out a yell that rivaled
a siren whistle. The bear took to his
heels as the piercing shrieks were too
much for his ear drums. Segar
emerged from the wallow with his face
scratched and clothes torn. The bear
made for higher attitudes.

CORRESPONDENT SAYS FORMAL
PROTEST WILL BE MADE IN 4
FEW WEEKS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-In a
special dispatch. Walter Wellman, the
famous correspondent declares the
United States will issue a protest to
Japan in relation to the latter govern
ment's attitude in Manchuria in few
weeks.
american attitude will be regarded
as sensational in governmental cir
lcles all over the world but it is the
only logical move in view of the Ameri-
can policy since the famous circular
note sent out by Secretary of State
Hay in 1899 in which the United States
took up the leadership among nations
to preserve the entity Of China.
Recently the Chinese government
has made representations to the fed
eral government in relation to the be-
havior of Japan in Manchuria.
"a stipulation Of the Portsmouth
treaty in relation to Manchuria has
been grossly violated by Japan. Un-
surpation of municipal government by
Japanese in many cities and taking
over the telegraph lines, railroads and
the continued presence of a large
armed force has greatly incensed the
Chinese.
"The latter will hold a conference OF
governors in three of Manchurian
wise plans for repelling the japanese
and prevent further aggressions.'

BUILD GRAVES LINE
TO WALLA WALLA
PoMERoY COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKES ACTIVE STEPS TO EN-.
COURAGE PROPOSED ROAD.

POMEROY. Feb. 25.-Citizens of
Garfield county are literally assisting
the Commercial club Of Pomeroy in Sc
curing the bonus asked by the manage
ment of the electric railway for the
proposed construction of a line from
Asotin to this town. At meeting a
few days ago a committee was named
to solicit stock subscriptions and
make arrangements for right of way.
Not only are business men encourag-
ing the project but farmers are giving
right of way and also subscribing lib
orally for stock in the company, it be-
ing necessary to raise about 100000 in
passing through His city.
While there is no definite informa-
tion available, it is quite certain that
the line proposed is a link in the sys-
tenn contemplated by the Graves in
terests extending from Spokane to the
Columbia river near Wallula, via Wall
la Walla. The line from here is in
tended to pass through Dayton, Waits
burg and thence to Walla Walla, con-
Meeting with the interurban line now in
use at the latter place. The distance
from Spokane to Walla Walla is over
200 miles but the proposed electric line
will be some distance longer on ac-
count Of the loop made in gaining
crossing of Snake river. The entire line
would be built through rich
country. largely given to wheat. with
some of the finest of orchards scat
tered through it. -.
