SURE ENOUGH, 1T
MUST BE A BEAR

Did Frederick Steiwer, district at
torney, and Dan P. Smythe kill bear
so large in size that there is no pack
horse in the Blue mountains large
enough to bring forth the victim?
That would be a natural inference
from the following letter which has
come mysteriously into the possession
of this paper. The postscript would
seem to indicate that the lawyer
hunters did not wait to see whether
they killed Brer Bruin or not:
Gibbon. Ore, Aug. IA, 1913.
Mr.. Frederick Steiwer
Pendleton. oregon.
Dear Sir: In regard to the bear
YOU killed that we was to send to you
am afraid you will be very much
disappointed, for it was impossible for
us to get a pack horse into that can
yon, was so rough and steep, ana you
know we have our sheep on our hands
and they took up most of our time and
by the time we got around the bear
had spoiled. l am very sorry that this
happened, but we done the very best
we could do. And l hope you will
not be too deeply offended in this
matter. But it will be some satisfac-
ton to know that you killed one of
the biggest bear that ever roamed the
Gibbon country for we measured the
bear and it measured feet 4 inches
and weighed / should judge about $50
pounds
Very truly YOURS

BOARD OF HEALTH BULLETIN
Concluded from first page

1AOlll OF Dd2O
of Jacksonville were literally
placarded with warnings against
splitting on the sidewalks and
promising a penalty for infrac-
tions of the rule. The signs were
posted under the authority of the
City Health Department and the
offence was therefore within the
jurisdiction of the city court. So
far as is known, not a single ar
rest has been made in Jacksonville
for this misdeameanor and care
full observation shows that the
habit, quite generally prevalent
before, has vanished from the
streets of the city.
A sense of common decency has
practically banished the filthy
practice from the street cars of
the city, greatly to the advantage
of the travelling multitudes.
The moral effect of these signs
has been strong in stopping the
unnecessary practice. 1t has
proven the existence in the nor
NAL citizen of the desire to be
clean and to regard very impcr-
tant factor in public sanitation and
cleanliness.
In these very modern days the
doctors and health officials ot the
cities and state are making it
much easier to attain advanced
age by lessening the multitude of
bacterial dangers that have threat
ened us on every hand. At least
they have instructed the people
how to avoid these dangers. They
have lowered or death rates and
our sick rates by teaching us how
to take care of ourselves.

Good Work on Streets

The new Street commissioner
Brown is doing excellent work on
the streets. Let the good work 90
on. The roads leading into Ken

done on them and now is the time to
get at it. What is more beneficial
thar good roads2 And in order to
have them it takes work and money.
The otyt council promises to fix all
roads to the city limits. Then with
the road bosses of the different dis
tricts doing their part, it will be but
a short time until this section can
boast of the best roads. Every
thing cannot be done at once, but
constant work will bring everything
around IN due time.

Shall We Celebrate?

Already we have heard people
asking if Kendriek is going to cele-
brate the coming 4th of July. Now
if the people of this town want to
have a celebration this year it is
time to begin to think about it.
Last Year was proof enough that the
town can put up a good celebration
and satisfy the people. This year
it is possible to do even better, for
the town can boast of good band
and with the organizing of the ball
club along with other things, it viii
be easy to give a good celebration.
Now come forth and see what can
be done if the people want to GO
through with it.
