ODD ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN MAIL
CARRIER AND BEAR-The Oregonidn
of Monday contains a detailed ac-
count of a mother bear and two little
cubs attacking one of Uncle Sam s
mail-carriers, c. NJ. Bailey. on a
road between Sandy and Marmot.
He was driving leisurely along in
his mail wagon, when on turning a
curve he discovered bruin standing
in the middle of the road with her
cubs frisking about her. Bailey,
from surprise or fear, or probably q
little OF both, pulled up his team and
waited developments. lie had not
long to wait. With a growl and
Il flourish of her forepawS, the bear
made for the wagon. The horses
snorted in terror, and whirled to the
side OF the road turning the wagon
over and spilled mail and carrier out
in the dust. Bailey drew his re-
volyer and fired on the advancing
bruin, which was almost on him.
Tie bullet seemed to have went true,
for the bear turned to the woods and
Scampered off, leaving a trail of
blood, followed by her cubs. Bailey
caught his team, and with the aid Of
Il passing party of autoists righted
his wagon and proceeded on his way
content to call the engagement a
draw

In this age of big ships, Lord
Pirrie, head of the shipyards of Har-
Ian n Wolf. Belfast, expresses the
opinion that the only limit to the
size OF ships lies in their inability
to find harbor or dock facilities. The
failure of the Great Eastern was ow-
ing to the fact that time she appeared
there were no docks or harbors cap
able of taking her in, and notwith-
standing they have increased in size,
the larger ships of the present day
find great difficulty. The White
Star liner Olympic is, in his judg-
ment, the largest ship to meet the
requirements and the Cunard Com
