STRENGTH OF THE GRIZZLY
Giant Of Far West Carries Cow Easily
Over Mountain, Without
Resting.

It is related that grizzly bear that
had one of it's forepaws so shot as to
render 1t useless employed the other
to drag its weight of 1000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitous, a SEEM
ingly impossible feat, the Fur News
states
A Californian asserts that while in
the mountains he observed big griz-
ely in the act of carrying a dead COW
home to her cubs. From his position
on the mountainside the Californian
could follow every movement of the
bear in the sparsely timbered valley
below. He contends that the big beast
carried the COW in her forepaws for a
distance Of three miles, across jagged
rocks several feet in height, over
fallen logs around the rocky noun
tainside. where even a mule could not
get a foothold, to a narrow trail up
the steep mountain.
This bear. 1t appears. stopped not
a moment for rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The COW. 1t is reported,
weighed at least 1900 pounds, while
the weight Of the grizsly was about
$50.

ever. They are among the oldest of
musical instruments. An ancient gem
shows Apollo with them, and two in

believed to have been bagpipes.
The bagpipes range not only in time
from Apollo and the Bible to the pres

Child FIoored a Comedian.

1t was at recent theatrical per-
Torrance in one Of our big cities. A
comedian was in the course of deliver
ing long but not always uniformly
funny soliloquy for which he is ia

came an unexpected comment from
the stalls. 1t was in the high treble
voice of girlhood, and the words,
audible on the stage and in several
parts of the auditorium, were: Mum

down the blind now" 1t was dramatic
criticism of dramatic kind; and the
outspoken child was not the only per-

no objection to dropping Of the cur

say SO. At any rate, the curtain fell.

PRIMARY ELECTION OFFICIALS

The city council nominated nine
persons for a nice, easy, though
somewhat tiresome job for the fourth
day of November. It is on that
day that those who have registered
will be allowed the privilege of ex-
pressing their preference as to who
shall be the head of the city's af-
fairs during the coming twelve
month.
In the first ward, G.. J. Henne-
berry, w. M. Frans and J. B. Hay
don have been appointed. In the
second, Miss Harlow, T. H. James
and ]. A. VanNorsdall; in the third
ward, Mrs. Soth, Gust Henke and
R. l.. Banta have been elected.
That they will have an easy job
is assured by the extremely light
registration that has been made.
And it will be a tiresome job for the
same reason.

To TALK MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE

To come to final decision as to
whether or not the Highlands I'M

posed farmers mutual fire insur-
ance company, will be the object of
a meeting at the Commercial Club
rooms on Saturday afternoon, Nov
ember 1st, at 1:30.
To the members of the Highland
club the idea of cheap mutual
fire protection society, form ID
among the farmers of the county,
appeals strongly. The committee
from their members who were ap-
pointed to investigate the PROPOSE
ton has reported favorably, and at
this meeting the findings of that
body will be put forth to the farm
ers of the valley. Every farmer,
and all those interested in this COM

HOBOES TO HE HENCE;
SPECIAL POLICE NAMED
Residents In East End to Work with
City Force in Shooing Away
Weary Wanderers

Want to be a cop? Would you
like to be able to unostenta,iously
put your thumbs in your vest arm
holes and flop your coat open so
that your audience could see a nice
shiny, tin star pinned inside? If
you would, why trot to the Mayor
and he'll appoint you a special
policeman.
And that isn't all. For every ar
rest you make, or rather every con-
viction that you can get, you will
be paid an amount equal to a years
subscription to The Courier.
Citizens living in the east end of
town have been complaining lately
about the hoboes sleeping in the
haystacks and vacant houses in that
neighborhood. They get hungry,
too, it seems, and take to the spud
patches as a consequence. And il
a grape patch happens to obtrude
into the way they take grapes as a
relish.
The limits of this municipality
have been stretched somewhat and
the three police don't get entirely
over the whole thing as often as
they would had they more time and
better sidewalks-especially in the
east end of town. However, as the
residents down there are within the
city limits they certainly are en-
titled to protection from petty thiev-
cry, SO most of them were in at
tendance at the council meeting
Tuesday night to air their troubles.
-Four of them were appointed special
police with power to arrest all hoboes
that don't keep on walking when
they hit the confines of the city.
Messrs. Book, Parks, Schlemline
and Bachman have taken jobs with
the city, working in cooperation
with the present force to make Ken
newick a place to be Stunned by all
those who cannot or will not work.
Their especial duty will be to ar
rest hoboes. The city wants chain
gang to work on the streets and less
men making Kennewick winter
resting place. From now on we
may expect to have the Jail filed to
overf1owing, and a nice big gang on
the streets gathering the pebbles
that play such havoc with automo.
bile tires.

3rd and will open again Wednesday

STANDARDIZED
New Pint Cups Same Size as Old
Short Quarts Except
as to Depth

The dimensions of the standard
full.pint strawberry cup, as adopted
at the Portland meeting of the
Northwestern Box Manufacturers
Association this week, will be 4sx
Aar15 with a raised bottom of
seven.eighths of an inch. The new
cun therefore, will be of the same
dimensions as the old short-quart
cnp with the exception of the depth
which will be three quarters Of an
inch less than the old cup. The
new crate will be built to hold two
12.cup tiers, the same as the old
crate, and will be of the same length
and breadth but one and one-half
inches shallower. The new cup
has been designated as the "A No.
5 Pacific Coast Standard Deep Dry
Pint" +"
The association also adopted 5x
5x2 1916 full-quart cup and 5x
SKI 1882 full-pint cup for use in
shipping raspberries. These shallow
quarts and shallow pints are desig.
mated to fit the new standard crate,
holding 16 quarts in two tiers or "a
pints packed in three tiers.
The meeting of the local growers
last Saturday voted unanimously te
adopt the pint cups in preference te
the quarts. 1t was generally agreed
that crate of full pints will sell fol
nearly as much as a crate of the ole
short quarts, while but little more
could be expected from a crate ot
full quarts, though it held more
berries and cost more to pick, pack
and ship than thesold crate.
The local growers favored Ak.
4x2s cup, "a cups to the crate, anG
manager Marks Of the local box
factory advocated that size at the
Portland meeting. Mr.. Marks was
seconded by the Hood River ano
Milton growers and representatives
ofthe Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
Association, all of whom agreed
that the AKA deep cup would bt
much easier to pack and cap anc
would reach the consumer in better
shape than the 5x5 shallow cup.
1t was pointed out, however, by
the lumbermen, that the short crat.
to hold the 4x4 cups would neces
state an extra cut in the manufac
turing the crate sides, thus increas
ing the price considerably. A com
promise was then made and tn,
4sx4s cup was adopted.

DREAM" SAYS
PRES. TALBOT
Official Of Power Company Rid
icules Story Of Huge Priest
Rapids Project

According to Guy w. Talbot,
president of the Pacific Power &
Light Co., the story which appeared
in several of the city dsilies On
Wednesday concerning the develop
ment of a $25, 100000 millionaire
irrigation and power project at Priest
Rapids is the child of some enter
prising reporters imagination.
That's pipe dream" Mr.. Tai
bot said in an interview at North
Yakima. 'You couldn't raise $685.
OOO,OO right now for any purpose,
and if the money could be raised it
wouldn't be put into development
of land along the Columbia. There
is more land developed there now
than can be sold.
1t is equally untrue that any
arrangements have been made or
any negotiations are pending for the
development of power at Priest
Rapids to be sold to the Milwaukee
for the Identification of the COM
pany's road through this state.
Some such thing may come in time,
but it will not be for many years."
Mr.. Talbot arrived in Yakima
Thursday morning in company with
party of eastern fnanciers and
officials of the power company,
after the party had inspected the
Priest Rapids country on Wednes-
day. When asked whether the trip
meant that negotiations were under
way for the electric interests to take
over the Hanford project, Mr.. Tai
bot is quoted as saying: ITS a
rotten egg and the American Light
q Power Co., which is the heaviest
creditor, is not going to have any
thing more to do with it,
The creditors of the Hanford COM
pany, which is now in the hands of
a receiver, have refused to make
any further advances and it is be-
lieved that the concern will finally
go through bankruptcy, the land be
purshased by the creditors to secure
their claims and new start made.
The story which President Talbot
characterized as pipe dream"
ran as follows:
Reclamation of 100000 acres
of land in eastern Washington, ex-
penditure of between $12, ,OO0, 900
and $25, 100000 in development of
the largest irrigation and power
project in the northwest and open
ing up Of the Priest Rapids coun-
try. will begin at once if the final
trip of inspection to Priest Rapids
made Wednesday by a party Of
American and European capitalists
results satisfactorily.
Already funds for the con-
struction of a dam 20 feet in
height at the foot of the rapids,
which will be the most stupendous
engineering feat of its kind in this
section of the country, is said to
have been assured.
Involved in the project is the
electrifcation of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railway from the
Cascades to its Puget Sound termini,
the taking over of the Hanford irri-
cation project on the opposite side
of the Columbia river and the merg-
ing and constructing of many elec-
trio railway lines, according to the
information said to have been gained
from members of the party"

EIGHTEEN BALES OF COTTON.

Just after noon Thursday, six
wagons each loaded with three bales
of fine cotton, came into Durant from
twelve mile Prairie, the entire elgh-
teen bales being grown by ]. l.. In
gram and his son, who live south OF
Nida. Mr.. Ingram sold his entire lot
from 12 to 13 cents per pound, which
puts his receipts from the cargo at
something like $1,000 Mr.. Ingram
had 65 acres in cotton this year, from
which he says he has picked in all As
bales. This is an unusually good av-
erage yield for this year, and is the
best we have heard of.
