DON'T FORGET IN
DIANS IN SERVICE
GiftsAppreciated-People atHome
Should Look After Welfare of
Those in Camps.

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
/ want to thank the Indian people
for their generosity in helping Mr..
James Locklear and myself get Christ
mas presents for the boys at Camp
Jackson. A neat little sum was col
lected and spent for this purpose.
They boys at ycamp send many
thanks from full hearts to all the
people for these small gifts. We at
home can't realize just how much it
meant to them to receive something
from home.
Iwould like to suggest that the peo-
pie at home look after the welfare of
the boys in service as much as possi-
BILE. Our government can do, and is
doing, it's part, but there is a part we
must do. There are many little things
we can do for them that will make
their hearts glad and buoy them up.
They are fine bunch which we are
indeed proud Of, and we must show
by doing our "bit" at home. There
are several local chapters of Red Cross
in the county. Any of these would be
glad to cooperate with the Indian
people to supply the men in service
with sweaters, etc. These things are
very much needed and it is no less
than our duty to supply them. l can
furnish the private address of all our
men in service to any one interested.
l sincerely hope the Indian people will
get in touch with these organizations
and help with this noble work.

service.
Mr.. Peirce talked very interestingly
of the close relationship between the
stock growers of this section and the
forest service, and gave much valuable
information as to the plans of the for
estry department for improving the
range service given to the stockmen.
and explained new regulations which
will be closely adhered to in the future
to make the range service better for
every user. Among these will be some
regulations concerning the placing of
salt at stipulated places and checking
by the forest officials to see that each
patron furnishes his required amount
Ill proportion to his number of cattle
on the range. Among other things to
be given special attention in the flu
ture will be the keeping out of all scrub
bulls from the government reserves
Il departure which will assist the ma
jority of stockmen in keeping their
nerds IN TO a better standard. Mr..
feihcels stalk was nue. enjoyed by ali
his hearers and his evident interest in
the welfare of the stockmen is much
appreciated.
AT I:3O p. m. a sumptuous banquet
for Association members and their la
dies N a number of guests, was
served at the Hotel Wolf. One hun
dred and ~fifty-eight persons enjoyed
the big turkey feed, with many and
varied trimmings, after which all re-
paired to the Jensen hall, where the
balance of the night was devoted to a
full enjoyment of the Stockmen's an
nual ball. Fine music was furnished
by a six-piece orchestra from Rawlins
and at midnight another big feed was
provided by he Red Cross ladies of
Cow Creek and the Platte River.
Altogether this years meeting was
most successful and enjoyable in every
way. A number of new members were
added to the Association roll and the
organization begins the new year with
every indication for continued growth,
success and prosperity.

The annual meeting of the Saratoga
Valley Stock Growers Association.
which o place in Saratoga last Fri
day, was very largely attended, the
great majority of the members of the
body being present as well as many
stockmen from Snake River, North
Park, Rawlins and other parts of the
country. The meeting was the most
enthusiastic and profitable gathering
in the history of the Association. The
city hall was rather inadequate Il ac.
commodate a crowd of such proportions
and ali available space was occupied
during the executive session of the
body.
The election of officers for the 1918

Messrs. Schoonjans and Healey being
reelected to their respective offices,
while A. E.. Dahl succeeds w. G. Con

Chas. G. Young.
Many matters Of business were acted
upon at the afternoon session, after
which several interesting addresses
were made. Chief among the speakers
were former President Ira b. Casteel
and Forest Supervisor Earl S. PIERCE of
Laramie.
Mr.. CasteeFs addres was principally
along the lines of the stockman's stu
alton under the present war conditions,
the need for cooperation among all
stockmen at all times and especially
during critical times like the present,
and a recital of the great work being
done by the Red Cross throughout the
country and especially by the active
workers in the war one of Europe.

A BEAR HUNT IN SARATOGA.
Bruin Came Down the River With Tie
Drive and Stopped in Town for a
Little Fun and Excitement.

There are but few towns, even in
live bear hunt pulled off inside the city
limits, but such a sight was afforded in
Saratoga last Saturday morning, much
to the amusement and interest of the
many tourists in own and the large
number of transients who had come to
Saratos he day before to attend the
-stock meeting.
There were exciting times for q few
minutes while Bruin was being hazed
about the back yards and alleys on the
(. east side of the river. Although pur-
sued by a number of hunters armed
with rifles, shotguns, pistols and bowie
knives, the animal managed to escape
unframed from the majority of his
pursuers and made a break for the
hills, being finally brought down by
Raymond Ault after a chase of about
two and II half miles over the hills
east of town. The bear was of the
cinnamon or brown variety and weigh
ed Ill pounds. Local bear-hunters pro-
nounce him to be a ~two-year-old.
The animal was first discovered neal
the bridge. and was l~eisurely swimming
with the current of the river. He land
ed on the east side, near the old Scrib-
ner barn, and several men with guns
were soon on his trail. After going
through or over n number of wire and
board fences, the animal made his
way along the river bank to the rear
of the Kincaid residence, where he was
intercepted by Mrs. Kincaid and John
Mammalian, who ran down to the river
edge to see what the excitement was
about. The Mammalian boy ran into
the small patch of brush where the
bear had taken refuge, and the animal
then ran III through the front yard
and started across country for Elk
Mountain. When within a few feet of
the bear, the boy discovered what was
the u of the excitement, and he
also left the neighborhood for distant
points in the opposite direction.
Several auto loads of tourists were
soon in pursuit, but Raymond Ault,
mounted on a good morse, was able to
take a more direct route and Bruin fell
a victim to his ufferring aim with a
six-shooter.
No one is able to say just where the
bear came from, as he was not discov-
cred until in the center of town. but
old hunters are of the opinion that he
was crossing the valley from one range
Of mountains to the other, in search of
pew pastures PressGsnt tSclioosicns
Z Inns been accused OF smuggling the ami
maj In as a special amusement feature
for the benefit of visitors at the Stock
Association meeting, but he declares
the b'ar was none of his property. At
any rate, Bruin appeared at a most OPP
perfume time to provide a variety Of
thrills for our many visitors, and even
aroused some interest on the part Of
the natives, who are seldom stirred out
of their peaceful tranquility after a
long residence in IA community where
many unusua things happen.
