BELLiNGHAM BESEIGED
BY BIG BLACK BEAR
Bruin Seeks Vegetables on the Public
Market and Is Killed.

BELILNGHAM, May 14.-After wan
dering about the beach between the
Great Northern right-o way and Dock
street for an hour in plain view of a
hundred curious citizens who gathered
to watch him, a big, shaggy black bear
from the woods, became bolder in his
invasion of the city and ambled up
Chestnut street, in the business dis
trict, to the crowded public market
Bruin seemed inclined to make feast
on the vegetables in the stalls there,
but his career was cut shotr by w. T.
Hatton. a rancher from Clear Brook
who shot the animal with a 3S-caliber
revolver
The bear came from Chestnut noun
tain, it seems, as his tracks could be
followed where he had sneaked up the
beach from South Bellingham. He was
not discovered until he had reached a
spot on the beach within a few blocks
of the business district.

Although postponed for more than
an hour through the failure Of the
presiding officer, Governor M. E. Hay,
to put in an appearance, this morn
ng's session of the first spring meet
ing of the Washington Conservation
was attended by : small number of
WalEa Wallans, and the delegates from

FOX TO TALK TO FARMERS
ON WATER NSPORTATION.
VIII Address Regular Meeting of Ed.

Tomorrow.

At the regular meeting of the Far
mer's Educational and cooperative
union tomorrow afternoon in German
ia hall, John "A. Fox, special director of
the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress will address them upon the
subject of Water Transportation"
Mr.. Fox is one of the best posted
men in the United States on this sub
ject and is perfectly competent to
handle the topic in an able and worthy
manner. Having been one of the prime
movers in this vast undertaking, his
word is now recognized as law and the
success of the project will probably
be the result of his endeavors.
Farmers of this community are cor
daily invited to be present and hear
this talk, as it is of especial interest to
them.

STRIKE WATER
ON EUREKA
FLAT RANCH
Paxton and Slime Have a
Great Streak of
Good Luck.
FIRST SUCCESSFUL
WELL Is DRILLED
At Depth of Nearly 1000
Feet Good Flow Is
Encountered.

After boring for months in quest of
water on the wheat farm of M. H.
Paxton and w H. Stine on the Upper
Flat country, two and one-half miles
from Pleasant View, the report was
received in the city this morning that
at the depth of 932 feet an abundance
of water has been encountered, the
first water found on Eureka Flat. AL
though not artesian, the flow mounts to
a height of 70 feet in the casing and is
considered by experts to be sufficient
for all purposes.
Work Of drilling will be continued,
as it is hoped that more plentiful
supply may be struck so that there
will be enough for irrigating and other
purposes. Will McCausland, an expe-
rienced we'll driller, has charge of the
operations and thinks that if the depth
is increased, a more plentiful supply
may be obtained.
The report of the strike has caused
a boom in the prices of land in the
Flat country and those who are fortu-
nate enough to possess any in that sec
ton are cOngratulating themselves
upon their good fortune. AS was stat
ed by a prominent farmer this morn
ing to a paper representative, the price
of all land in that part of the coun-
try will mount as high as $40 per acre
and will even go better. Lack of water
has been the only draw back to what
would otherwise be land that would
surpass even the early belt along the
Columbia river and with the prospect
of an abundance of it, it is expected
that this country will soon be outriv-
aling many of the more recent boom
towns.
