JAP TAIN DODGE MI I H POLAR
 BEAR TALE

All residents of the coast section of southwestern Alaska and the Boring sea country, know Captain Dodge, of the cutter Unalaga. and the following story printed in Chicago paper about his bear hunting experiences on some long past voyage will prove exceed ingly interesting. The best part of the yarn as published is the picture which accompanies it, which unfoytu- nately cannot be reproduced here. It portrays rather frightened appear ing individual clad after the manner of Siberian, with giant polar bear at his heels, and in the background a dense growth of spruce showed. The National Geographical Society would probably pay high price for a photo graph of polar bears living in spruce forest, close to the habitat of polar bears, but it made a good drawing any, way. The bear story:
 | According to Captain F. c. Dodge, of the U. S. steamship Unalaga. which arrived few days ago at St Mathews Island, Alaska. polar bear hunting is fine sport - If you see the bear first and he's long way off" Those have encountered were al vways too close for comfort, and a mans self respect I have a snspi- cion that 1t was more sport for them than for me-" said the captain.
 Captain Dodge was trying to reach St Matthews through the pack ice on I government errand. Incidentally he | expected to get some polar bear shoot ing, for they came to that region to rear their young.
 "The first ever saw and hunted, he said, twas one the ice here. I had gone ashore with five other officers We had seen a big female and two cubs, feeding on fish, from the shiT and had come up to leeward of them
 "As we neared the spot where tht bear had been seen, one after another of our party suddenly grew tired ant stopped to rest The size of tn, tracks had turned their sportin, blood to ice.
 Finally only one other and mysel were forging on. We. too. wanted to call it off, but each was afraid O the others taunts. Coming around [ hummock, we heard a furious snort There was the bear. mouth open tongue hanging out, with cub a either side - not twenty feet away.
 'I simply couldn't lift my gun. ant Quinan. the other man, was equally al helpless with fright. Meantime thu bear rambled off in hurry.
 When she had taken good leat we ran lamely after her, firing wild And suddenly the other tired mel cam5 running up, tooT shooting otiHs 4Ra rel leys
 "Oh, 1t was great sport, all right'
 "Another time jumped polar bea from behind fifteen foot ice hum mock. fired just as he came fo me, wounding him without stoppinl his rush.
 Dropping my rifle, l sped for th beach, the bear right behind me. lear ed into the icy water and swan 10 the small boat that had brought m ashore. The brute piled right in al ter me. and I swan as l never hay before or since. The cockswail pulled me into the boat, while tn crew filled the bear with lead. l hay his skin at home however ten fee square.
 "Pve had all the sport with tn polar bear l want"

WEAVER READY TO
I. FIX COAL PRICES
FOR WASHINGTON

Steps toward the actual fixing Of
coal prices for the householders Of
Washington and throughout the ma
ton will be taken early this week.
John L. Weaver, District fuel ad-
ministrator, will make a declaration
Of policy Monday. Mr.. Weaver, fol-
lowing conferences with the fuel ad-
ministration, is prepared to give his
first statement to the Washington
public as to what they may expect,
and the measure in which they should
cooperate to meet the local situation.
Announcement of the personnel OF the
committees which will assist him will
follow Immediately.
Mr.. Weaver has refrained from any
public statement until he had time to
give some study to the situation and
to acquaint himself fully with the
results which were expected from
him by the fuel administration.
At the same time a similar program
Of coal control will he launched IN
practically every other city and State
in the land. Local coal adminIstra-
tors for the various States have Just
returned to their homes after q Sc
rIes OF conferences with DR.. GARFIELD
and other officials.

ANTILLES VICTIMS

MOUNTAIN GROVE. No. Oct. FL
"We're a happy bunch on this ship,
and we're glad we got into the big
game early"
This was the close OF q letter re-
ceived by relatives two weeks ago
from Jack" Hunt, twenty-one, Amer
ican seaman, reported lost on the
torpedOed American transport An
titles.
Isaac Hunt, aged father of the boy
and a farmer. came to Mountain Grove
tonight, hopeful that he might re-
celve more encouraging news Of the
disaster.
'1f it be Gods will that my boy
should die so young. am glad his
life was given in the service OF his
country" he said.
He enlisted, anticipating a con-
hict' He liked adventure, and II ne
was lost. he died q true American
fighting-end ] am proud"
Hunt wrote that submarines had
attempted to attack the transport on
which he was sailing about q month
ago. brother. now in Canada, is
soon to enter the army, according to
the father.
The Washington times., 1917-10-21

Now that the submarine menace is
reported by the American and British
governments to be abated and better
in hand than at any time since the
undersea frightfulness warfare be-
gan, American financial interests are
beginning to feel that there is danger
Of over-constructIon, from q financial
standpoint, of merchant ships.
Although the attitude is paradoxical
in view OF appeals of all the bel.
ligerent nations for more shipping to
take the place OF the vast tonnage
lost as a result OF submarine opera
tions and mines, It is realised by the
hackers Of great shipbuilding enter
prises that there is q possibility OF
carrying shipbuildlnE too far.
Financiers have pointed out that
since the outbreak of the war and
especially since the entrance OF the
United States into the struggle, there
has been a scramble to launch ships.
Despite submarine sinkings, the net
tonnage has been added to. In ad-
dition, 1t is known that In practically
every country on the face Of the globe
there is haste to build ships. Belllg-
erents and neutrals alike are turning
out merchant ships as fast as ship
wrights can build them. The Depart
ment of Commerce. in cooperation
with the State Department, has at
tempted to make some estimate Of
the amount OF ship tonnage building
throughout the world, but is having
difficulty keeping up with the output.
There are now on the ways in ship
yards all over the world, thousands

upon thousands of tons of shipping.
These vessels will be launched as soon
as completed.
Fear End !Of War.
The big slump feared is when the
end of the war cones. Then, 1t is
pointed out, there Il great possibility
OF the world finding itself SO over
built with merchant Slips that their
value will be greatly deprecated and
ocean freight rates will drop to rock
bottom. Such an outcome would mean
the taking OF heavy losses by Ameri-
cans and others who have invested
large sums in bVihing ships in a
period when labor and materials are
sky-high.
1t is known that Germany now has
under construction, in preparation for
launching at the end OF the war, the
Bismarck, of $4,000 tons-the largest
merchant ship in the world. In ad-
dition Germany is building many
other merchant ships in anticipation
OF her re-entrance into the foreign
trade when peace comes. That she
will cut rates is not doubted in order
to get back the trade she has lost.
This will mean a hard scramble for
her American and other competitors.
American fnanciers are trying their
best to get figures on the amount Of
ship tonnage which will come on the
ways within the next two years.
These figures are difficult to COM
pute, because of poor communications,
but 1t is known that, although efforts
to keep a feet going to Europe will
not be relaxed. bankers viii be eau
tious about putting. much new money
into ships. They feel that the SUBJ
marine wolf is pretty near dead.

ARCADE TONIGHT.

At the Arcade theatre tonight, the
New World Picture, "Tides of
Fate" with Alexandria Carlisle as
the star, will be the attraction. This
picture has been made from the
famous book Of the same name by
Kate Jordan. 1t is a story of En-
slish and American life with the he
roine a young girl who makes mat
rimonial mistake and marries a
counterfeiter whom she believes is
good and true despite the evidence
to the contrary presented to her by
her brother-in-law. When the
police trace the counterfeiter she is
arrested and forced to serve two
years as an accomplice. Finally
she manages to escape through the
kindness of an actress who comes
with a number of others to enter
tain the prison folk. Coming to
America the heroine reads in a
! newspaper of a mine accident in
which it is stated that her husband
met death. Later she meets John
Cross, a man who loved her before
her marriage. Still later her hus-
band turns up-the report of his
death having come through a case
of mistaken identity. The hus
band tries to get money from his
wife and in the ensuing fight he
meets death when shot by police
man. And the girl and Cross arc
happily united. Outdoor scenes Of
power and beauty add greatly to thu
interest of the offering.
