Caledonia Bear Tale
j. S. Steele Tells Of an Exciting Evening When
Bears Were Numerous
Written by Mrs L. A. Dudley.

Some ears ago, in the neighborhood
of 1853 or 1857, three men, who owned
a threshing machine, small sized af-
fair run by horsepower, with the
neighbors were tbreshing for James
Stewart, owner of the large Stone
house which was near one of the
Portage roads. The owners of the
machine were David and James Mar
shall and VIM. M. Shanks, Mrs. VIM.
FL. Ode's father The men were
working hard 10 dnish as night was
close at haad. Suddenly someone
called out, "By gosh, here comes a
bear" Aud sure enough, a bear with
her three cuos shambied along. Toe
men at once stopped threshtng and
started for TIE bear. David Marshall,
who's home was near by, said, "Oh
wait till get my dog; that will fix
herr Off went Marshall for his
Newfoundland dog, fine specimen,
and away went the others for guns.
At that time small grove was at no
CREST distance from where the thresh-
ing was btiog done and when all
hands had again collected, Marshall
set his dog onto the bear. The bear
rose up and with paw knocked dog
gle silly. MARSHALL again set the dog
on and the bear cufted the dog anotheE

With due apologies to Kipling, the

the description of a Chicago

was given fine this morning by
Justice Halsted because he attempted
to paint the town red on Saturday
night. He drew q "bundle" of
money last week and to disprove
the idea that "all the rubes are funny
and have padlocks on their money"
he visited number of saloons where
he demonstrated he had large capa-
city for booze. When he had accumu-
lated a slime jag" he started out. At
the Rodems store he talked too much,
like the parrot in the story, and it was
necessary to call the police. The young
man did not blacken Officer Buck
ley's eye when he appeared, nor
coporal's either, but as to talking he
is the big chief. When he came to his
senses he was enjoying the cool
oreezes waited through the grating of
corner cell at the county Jail.
This morning he was shown the
way to the justice office where his
fine was fixed at 500 and costs. the
total amounting to $25.33. Fancy
drinks had eaten up his money so he
was escorted back to Jail to await the
uncertainty of his friends coming to
his distress.

WORCESTER, MASS,
NOW PLANNING TO
BUILD LARGE HALL
City Long Since Became
Convinced That Meeting
Place Is of Inestima-
bic Value to City

An auditorium movement similar to the
in Worcester, Mass, New England city
of about Birmingham's size and often re-
ferred to in comparing municipal matters
in Birmingham with other cities of the
country. While Secretary Herbert N.
Danson of the Worcester Chamber of
Commerce cannot cite Birmingham to any
auditorium experiences of his city, he has
written a valuable letter in answer to
Chairman Shocks inquiry. 1t follows
Il regret that cannot give you the
information you desire with reference to
the erection of the Birmingham audi
torium.
This city has a large meeting place,
known as Mechanics hall, and there is
at the present time an effort being mace
to dispose of this property and erect a
modern auditorium. The matter has not
reached the formative stage, however.
and it may not do so for several months.
as there is large amount of detail to
be worked out in connection with the
enterprise before 1t finally reaches frui-
tion
II might say to you, however, that the
Worcester Chamber of Commerce is a
firm believer in the necessity for the
erection of an auditorium in every live.
up-to-date city and 1t can imagine moth
ing of more value to the city of Birming-
ham. Birmingham is known in Worcester
as one of the most enterprising cities of
the south. and if it is ever to be any
thing besides mere manufacturing CEN
ter it must make some effort to develop
the convention side of it's communal life
1t has been estimated that the average
delegate to convention brings into a
city $40 a day and the splendid results
obtained in Detroit, st. Paul, Denver, Bal
timore and other cities, through the pos
session of these auditoriums, certainly
ought to be all of the argument necessary
to warrant your issuing bonds for the
erection of such structure.
II might say In this connection that
1t will undoubtedly be necessary for the
city of Worcester to tax itself for the
erection of an auditorium here when one
is build and the Worcester Chamber Of
Commerce believes that an investment of
this kind is most wise. as no doubt in
terror cities like Rochester. N. Y, and Des
Moines, Ia, possessing few natural ad-
vantages, have both profited to the extent
of thousands II not millions of dollars
by the possession of auditoriums where
large national gatherings could be held

RELIGIOUS BODIES
FEEL THE GREATEST
NEED OF STRUCTURE
Such Things as Gypsy Smith
Revival Would Then Be
Easily Accommodated
in the City

One of the important uses OF a pub
lie auditorium is for religious pur-
poses. The churches and peligious or
Is a good sized public auditorium have
great advantage over cities where
no such building exists.
At large expense the religious
forces of Birmingham are right now
erecting a great temporary auditorium
in which to hold the Gypsy Smith re-
vival services this winter. What fig
ure could estimate the value of such
an auditorium as Is planned by the
Chamber of Commerce to the churches
and religious organizations of Bir-
mingham for just such meetings as
the Gypsy Smith meetings are to be,
for great conferences, conventions and
religious gatherings? The churches of
the city are expected to give valued
support to the auditorium movement
and the following letter to Chairman p.
c. Shook from Harry Wade Hicks,
general secretary of the "missionary
education movement of the United
States and Canada an organization
which is undenominational and in
cludes all churches, is worthy of the
attention of every church member in
Birmingham:
Mr.. M. Lee Bonner. whom + have
met on different occasions and who
is prominent religious worker in Bir-
mingham, has allowed me to read your
letter of June 6 addressed to him con-
cerning the proposed auditorium for
Birmingham. My interest III the matter
became active a year ago when on the
occasion of visit to Birmingham Mr.
Bonner and inspected different build
ings in and near the city with reference
to possible missionary exposition.
We came to the conclusion that the
only possible method of organizing a
satisfactory exposition within reason
able distance of the church population
of the city would be to erect build
ing especially for the purpose 1t seems
to me an altogether desirable prof.

CHAIRMAN SHOOK
TELLS WHY THIS CITY
NEEDS AUDITORIUM
Co Operation, Civic Pride
and Public Spirit Are the
Qualities Needed to
Garry Election


Il believe the vote on the auditorium
proposition Monday will demonstrate
that the people of Greater Birming-
ham have gotten together, have put
aside petty jeaiousies and prejudices
and complaints, and have resolved to
utilize this first great opportunity to
place their home city In the class with
others that have grown and prospered
as the result Of being in position to
handle great national conventions.
I'm the past. it seems to me. we
have all been prone to indulge in too
much self-laudation. to pat ourselves
on the back and rest content In the
assurance that Birmingham. by rea-
son of it's unsurpassed mineral wealth
and the Industrial development incl
dent thereto would grow and develop
and become 81 eat city despite the
absence of spirit of get together and
stay together and pull together, which
is so strongly in evidence in some of
our neighboring cities. That we have
had marvellous growth and deyelop-
ment no one will deny. but pay rolls
alone will not make great city. We
must have corporation, civic pride
