 ON MARIPOSA; s. O. s.
 CALL PICKED UP

CAPTAIN DODGE DODGES POLAR
 BEAR IN FOREST

All residents of the coast section of Southwestern Alaska and the Boring sea country, know Captain Dodge of the cutter Unalga, and the following story printed in Chicago paper about his bear hunting experiences on some long, past voyage will prove ex- ceedingly interesting. The best part of the yarn as published is the pict- ure which accompanies it, which un- fortunately cannot be reproduced here. It portrays rather frightened appearing individual clad after the manner of a Siberian, with giant polar bear at his heels and in the back ground a dense growth of spruce showed. The aNtional Geographical Society would probably pay high price for photograph ot polar bears living in spruce forest, close to the habitat of polar bears, but it made a good drawing anyway.
 The bear story:
 According to Capt. F. c. Dodge, of the U. s. steamship Unalga, which arrived a few days ago at St Mathews Island, Alaska, polar bear hunting is fine sport-"if you sec the bear first and he's a long way off"
 "Those l have encountered were al ways too close for comfort and a mans self-respect. l have a Suspi- cion that it was more sport for them than for me-" said the captain.
 Captain Dodge was trying to reach St. Mathews through the pack ice on . government errand. lncluehVaiI! he expected to get some polar bear shooting, for they come to that region to rear their young.
 "The first ever saw and hunted" " he said, "was on the ice here. l had gone ashore with five other officers. We had seen big female and tw cubs, feeding on fish, from the ship and had come up to leeward of them
 "As we neared the spot where the bear had been seen, one after another of our party suddenly grew tired and stopped to rest The size of the tracks had turned their sporting blood to ice.

Most persons engaging in the culti-

In order to prove n source of con-

PLEASURE IN FRUIT GARDEN

The Origin Of "FiIlbuster." I"

What Is the origin of the word "fili-
buster?" Charlevoix and others de-
rive it from the occupation Of a cruis-
er in a "filibote," or "Vly-bote." first
used on the River Wy, In Holland. An
other authority tells US that 1t was
given to the followers Of Dominique
de Courgues, who sailed from Finis-
terre, or Finibuster. in France, on the
famous expedition against Fort Caro-
line in 1867. 1t was long current in
Spanish as "filibustero" before Its
