The Story of the Three Bears

When Bob and Billie Smith left here
last Sunday morning with their guns
over their shoulders, they told their
friends that when they returned in the
evening they would have all kinds of
bar" meat. Some laughed, and in
fact no one took their remarks very
seriously, but about 8 o'clock in the
evening it was different when the news
gently drifted thru the trees that the
Smith Brothers had slaughtered g."
A few minutes later Bob and Billy ap-
peared on the streets and corroborated
the wireless message and for about
two hours they were kept buster than
Wall street broker telling how it
happened. Because you see there
are quite a number of enthusiastic
huntsmen around town that have been
roaming the hills every Sunday all sum-
mer and have only few squirrel and
chipmunk skins to show for their
trouble and naturally the killing of
three bear in one day was interesting
news for them.
The big killing from all accounts
took place on Eagle creek about seven
miles from town. The bear, three Of
them, were sighted on a steep hillside
about three hundred yards away. Then
the cannonading began with the result
that within about ten seconds the
three came rolling down the hill head
over heels. At the bottom OF the hill
they disappeared in the brush
which was quite thick at that particular
spot. About this time the Smith
Brothers decided it was time to take
an inventory of their supply of ammu-
milton, and much to their surprise
found only three shells remaining.
Now two OF those bear were
very badly wounded, and three shells
won't always stop a charging bear so
the Smiths decided they would return
to town and 60 after their game
the next day. Believing Of course
that they would be dead by the time
they got back or at least they could
not get very far. But the next morn
ing when they returned to the scene
of the killing only one bear was found.
After short search for the other two
they gave it up for a bum job and
shouldering their prize came back to
town. 1t was some bear tho, we can
vouch for that, and we may get an
other roast next week, as Bob says he
is going out after them again next
Sunday. 5

A Musical Recommend alton.

Herman Perlet, the musical director

Among the instrumentalists he pro-

to get wheezy tone now and then.

A Parting Kick.

The physicians in a certain town
had agreed that during their Chau-
tauqua assembly they would employ
call boy, and each was to pay his
share of the expense. This boy was
to call any doctor who was wanted
without disturbing the speaker, as 1t
was embarrassing to him and looked
as IL they were doing it to advertise
without expense. So it all went well
until the afternoon, when Strickland
W. Gilliland spoke. AS he was talking
away certain doctor had call from
the platform, and he walked out rather
ostentatiously. Some Of the people
who knew of the arrangement laughed
or snickered, and the speaker got 1t.
He said: Don't laugh, folks. That is
the way my brother got his start"
And everybody roared.

CASCADE SCENIC HIGHWAY
ENDORSED BY SEATTLE MEN
Prominent Merchants in Seattle Urge
the Building of the Trunk Road
Across the Cascades

At meeting OF the board of county
commissioners in Seattle Monday, sew
enty business men of King, Kittitas,
Snohomish and Chelan counties were
present to urge the necessity of build
ing a permanent highway across the
Cascade mountains. Much interest
was manifested in the proposed road,
and it was the opinion of all present
that the Cascade Scenic Highway route
was more desirable than any other.
Out of the three-million dollar bond
issue for good roads to be submitted
to the voters in King county in No
yember it is asked that $165, 900 be
set aside for the construction OF King
county's portion of the scenic road.
Much pressure is being brought to
bear on the commissioners of King
county in favor Of the highway and i.
is expected that they. will make the
apportionment for the road at their
meeting next month.
The representatives from this county
at the meeting were w. T. Clark and
John Gellatly. The King county del
egation consisted of E. c. Cheasty and
John P. Hartman of the Seattle Cham
Der Of Commerce, Alden J. Blethen
owner Of the Seattle Times and Scott
| c. Bone, Editor OF the Seattle Post.
Intelligencer.
Colonel Alden ]. Blethen, editor Of
the Seattle Times, forcefully outlined
the necessity for many more miles OF
permanent highways. He declared
the southwestern corner Of King county
| is particularly in need of help. He
pointed out that about 1000 farmers in
that section are without means of COM
munication with any other part of the
county or state except by railroad.
Colonel Blethen pledged his personal
support and that of the Times in work.
/ ing for construction OF the Cascade
Scenic Highway, which not only will
provide means OF ingress and egress
for these people, but will open up a
Translate route through Stevens pass
to Chelan county, on the eastern side
of the Cascades.
The editor declared there is no sec
ton OF the country more in want Of
means of transportation than the
country lying Immediately to the west
of Stevens Pass. He said that mas
much as Snohomish and Chelan coun-
ties are building their roads to the
King county line, the commissioners
of King county should build the in
tervening link OF thoroughfare which
promises to build up tremendous
farming empire, in addition to pro-
viding scenic route second to none
in the world. Colonel Blethen de-
clared he would fight the bond issue
to the last ditch unless provision was
made for the Cascade Scenic Highway.
His remarks were vigorously applauded.

The revenues Of the Everett Light

Giants are not in the same class

OF course, l can not tell you who
these National league managers
are. They would get in bad if

Jimmy Callahan told me that the
Red SoX are the greatest team that
ever played. The White SoX man
ager says that they are far and
above a better team than the Ath-
letics of last year. Cal believes
that there is only one weakness in
the entire Boston machine, and
this is Yerkes at second.
