Sl.00 A Year in Advance

NAL life cannot be told here, because
we should scarce get started before we
should exhaust the space at our dis
posal, but we may mention one or two
things that seem particularly interest
ing. 1t will be news to many that
travel by automobile through the park
is very closely regulated by the gov
ernment. The machines are all COM
PEELED to enter at a certain gate, the
route to be traversed is prescribed, and
even the time allowed for different Dor
tions of the journey through the park
is fixed so that certain camping places
may be reached at certain hours guards
being stationed at various points to en-
force compliance with the regulations.
One OF the sections of trip through
the park takes the visitor up Mt.
Washington, l0,388 feet above sea
level. Mr.. Rose and his family made
this ascent in their little Ford and en-
Joyed the experience of running into a
lively snowstorm near the summit Of
the mountain. Near one of the great
boiling geysers visitors are accorded
the unique experience of catching fish
from clear, cool pool and without
changing their position, of cooking
their catch at the end of the line in the
boiling waters of the geyser. All forms
OF animal life, being carefully protected
from harm, have grown very tame, the
bears especially being almost too COM
panionable for comfort. Mr.. Rose was
greatly interested witness of an
amusing example of sucl undue famiI--
iarity on the part of Bruin, when, early
one morning, he was aroused by the
shouts of neighboring tourist who
was engaged in driving from his tent
bear that had been trying to steal his
provisions. The bear retired without
showing fight and then proceeded to
demonstrate that he was not easily dis
couraged in his efforts to help himself.
1t chanced that another camper had
purchased pail of butter which he
hung on bough of a tree in order to
protect it from marauding animals, a
proceeding to which he called Mr..
Roses attention with considerable
pride. After the bear had been driven
from the tent, things settled down and
every. body went to sleep again. but
when morning came and Mr.. Rose
emerged from his tent, he was amused
to see the bear sitting in a crot ch OF
the tree, holding the butter pail in the
embrace of one huge, hairy paw, while
. with the other he leisurely dug OUT its
/ contents which he ate with much evil
dence of satisfaction. Needless to say,
the owner of the butter was not able to
extract as much amusement fl ON the
; occurrence as other members of the
, party.
On their return trip, the party left
, Everett, Washington, August g, and
l reached Clio, September 20. having
) been 81 days enroute, this space of time
including. of course, stops at many
=, points of interest The little Ford ma
chine which carried them more than

the trip and looks as though it would.

Ornery Steer Case

The somewhat famous law case in
which John Anderson and Guy Selby
are contesting the ownership of steer,
still remains unsettled. as local just
ice court jury failed to reach an agree
ment, for second time, week or so
ago. The point at issue is the identity
of the steer The litigants kept their
cattle in adjoining pasture lots. One
steer jumped line fences and the other
jumped completely out of sight, pre-
sumably at the Jumping off place,
as he has not been seen nor heard of
for long time. Or maybe he was
just trying to show how high beef can
go under a democratic administration.
But anyway the remaining steer was
claimed by both men and as he was, a
mixed blond and brunette in complex
ion, with marked social proclivities,
Just like the animals both men once
undoubtedly owned. his Identification
has been hard matter for jury to
decide, especially so as he has been
positively identified by reputable wit
nesses as the specific property of both
men. The last jury, it is said. would
have liked to compromise the matter
by dividing the value of the steer be-
tween the two litigants, but this was
impossible because in a replevin suit
the question turns upon ownership and
no compromise verdict is permissible.
On the occasion of the first suit. sever
al weeks ago, number of the legal
lights of the county seat participated
as counsel and turned loose a lot of
oratory which they had evidently been
keeping corked up for campaign pur-
poses until it became irrepressible and
blew up. One lawyer worked in a
part of VIM. j. Bryan's famous "cross
of gold and crown of thorns" speech,
made in 1896. in manner that caused
the venerable baliff of the court, Chas
Best, TREMENDOUSLY to apply his rec
bandanna to his eyes. The last time
the case was tried Mr.. Selby, who ha:
possession of the steer under a writ o.
replevin, acted as his own counsel anc
MIR. Anderson was represented BY
Attorney Van Benschoten. Our read
ers are undoubtedly familiar with th'
old story of the two men engaged in ;
CONTROVERSY over cow, one holding
her by the horns and the other hanging
onto her tail, while the lawyer wa
milking. In the present case the lega
fraternity shows that it is keeping u
with the progressive spirit of the ag
as one of them is holding the entir
critter, horns, tail and all, while half
dozen others are demonstrating wha
may be done with hitherto unsuspect
ed source of supply. The costs in thi
locally famous law suit are said to al
ready more than equal the value of tn
steer, Notwithstanding which the gritt
litigants and going to try it again. TIL
date for the next trial has not as We
been fixed, but if the public is dul
apprised of it record breaking crow

METALS MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27-Estimates that export sales in the last 24 hours had reached an aggregate of 2,000,00O bushels or more, brought about sharp advances in the wheat market here today. Closing prices, although un- settled, were 3 to 6s net higher. with May at 7731s to 1.73H and July at 1411s to 1413s. Corn showed a net gain of half to 15s and oats of F 60 B at 4.
 In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to Hse of DC.
 Falling off in the worlds available supply total had considerable effect in spreading bullish sentiment. The decrease formed a striking difference from the immense enlargements last week and a year ago. It was pointed out that world stocks now are only about 100000 bushels in excess of last years hoard.
 Corn rallied with wheat and oats duplicated the action of corn.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave on- ly temporary strength to provisions. An offset lay in the fact that cash de mand. both domestic and foreign. seemed to be lacking in vigor.

 According to the Russian church in
