The Best Hound Killed by a Bear.

The Tilusville Herald of Saturday says:
"Frank and Jesse Sterling of Troy town
ahip and William Dunham of Mesdville,
who left a week ago for the hsunts of big
game in Forest county, have failed to
kill bear, but they have had very ex-
citing experience with one, which ended
in the death of their best dog. They
struck the trail several days ago along
Sheriffs creek, one of the branches of
Tionesta creek, and they followed the
animal for three days. The dogs finally
overhsuled the big brute and held him at
bay, waiting the arrival of the hunters.
When they sighted the bear he had killed
one dog and was trying to get hold of the
other. They secured shot at him, but
he was not seriously wounded, even if
hit at all. They chased him until he
finally took refuge in the rocks between
Fidioute and Warren. They have given
up hope of seeing this one again, but will
endeavor to find another trail, The boys
state that the bear was a tull grown one
and big enough to make lot of trouble
should he be cornered. They have been
fairly successful in pursuit of small game
and they are still hopeful of killing a
bear They have still another week in
the woods. They have taken their own
nyss tent and drove through from Troy
township. All of the boys have had
some experience hunting bear and they
are rather disappointed at losing the only
one they have found during their outing

the responsibility OF seeing that order is

In an address Thursday before the
supervisors of Erie County State High
way Commissioner Joseph w. Hunter
advocated the use of brick for permanent
road building in this state. He also eX-
pressed the opinion that brick three
inches in thickness will be sufficiently
heavy, thereby saving a great amount
both in the manufacture and trsnsporta-
tion of materials. He also went on record
as favoriDg the maintenance of improved
highways at the expense of the state. Mr..
Hunter believes that the convict labor of
Pennsylvauia should be employed in
making brick and drainage tile for roads.
He called attention to the manner in
which this is being done in western states.

COnRreaS nt st. pHuI.
st. Paul, Mimi. September s--,rhe
National Conservation Congress to-
night adopted a platform placing the
seal of It's approval on national control
of natural resources and adjourned.
A threatened fight on the part OF
State Conservation Commissioners to
place the name OF President Taft in
the platform along with that of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as the great friend OF
conservation. did not materialize on
the floor. Under vigorous use OF the
gayel 1t did not even get started
Henry Wallace, Des Moines, Ia, was
elected president OF the Conservation
Congress.
Clifford Pinchot and j. B. White. OF
Kansas City, declined to be nominated
for the presidency, and Mr.. Wallace
was not opposed.
A big fight occurred in the resolu-
tions committee before platform was
finally drafted. This fight centred
around the mention OF Theodore Roose-
yelt as the originator of the conserva-
tion policies, while the name of Presi-
dent Taft wac ignored.
The vote to include the Presidents
name was tby vote of to 10.
AN attempt was then made to elm
mate what was said to be an injustice
10 the President, and after three ball
siots. n motion TO eliminate the name
OF Mr. Roosevelt also carried.
The platform urged that the purity
of water was essential to the health
and general welfare of the public, and
suggested that all municipal. State and
Federal authorities. should take action
to prevent contamination of waters.
Federal control of water power de-
velopment was approved. while the
right of the States to grant iran
chises for the use OF the public streams
was denied.
