EXCITING DUEL IS
 SEEN BETWEEN A WOLF AND A DEER
James Rickard Tells of An Incl dent of the Wild Which Would Make Great Mov-
 ing Picture Scene.

James Rickard tells about an in teresting hunt between wolf and a deer at close range, in which both of them finally fell victims to the white mems guns.
 ''It would have made one of the best moving picture scenes you ever saw" said MT. Rickard "We were in our boats and at. first thought 1t was one deer following another but upon closer inspection we found that a deer was swimming in the bay ahead of wolf Evidently the wolf had bitten piece out of the deer, before 1t took to the water for it appeared wounded, but even at that seemed to be a match for the wolf in the water.
 'The deer was intent upon trying to escape. and the wolf so eager for his quarry, that the two came close to us and paid no attention. Final ly the deer reached the beach first and then turned around and faced the water and watched for the wolf The minute the latter crawled out of the water it again plunged into the bay and set out swimming, and the wolf plunged after it. Our ri fles ended the chase for both of them"

of satisfactory experience under com. pensation laws and because it is becoming better understood that the laws do not cause injury losses but only distribute the burden of them on the industry as a whole, instead of on the weakest element of the systematic injured worker. This realization has opened the way for amendments liberalizing the awards allowed.
 Advances noted in the bulletin are the shortening of the waiting time, for which as a rule no compensation is allowed and the increase of the allowance of medical and surgical aid. A notable departure in this connec. tion is the provision of the Washing ton statute for local funds, support ed and administered by employers and employees jointly, for the more effective and equitable administra- tion of medical benefits.
 Among important court decisions on the laws was cited the Supreme Court ruling which denied the appli- cation of State compensation law

COST IS GREATER FOR YANKEE SHIPS
 SAYS SHIPBUILDER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. Al this city conference of ship opera tors, builders and employees, Vice President Powell of the Bethlehem. Shipbuilding Corporation, Homer L. Ferguson, President of the Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Com pany, and others speaking for the builders, emphasized that the cost of building American ships is an insu- perable barrier against any attempt to establish a merchant marine, with out, as MT. Ferguson said, the Ma. tion paying for it." MT. Powell said as near as can be calculated the difference between the cost of a ship built in Great Britain and here has increased from about $25 to $35 a ton before the war to $100 today
 "A great part of the cost" the speaker declared. lis due to the great increase in the cost of lAbor in this country. Our wages, set for us by the Government, have gone up 150 per cent. since 1917.55

JACK LUND GETS
 THE SCARE OF HIS
 LIFE FROM A BEAR
Great Brown Bear Followed Him '' Few Yards Distance and Tried to 0utstare
 Him.

Jack Lund, deputy game warden and special agent in smelling out bootleggers" admits that he exper- |ienced the scare of his life the other day, while out on an official cruise in the waters of Alaska.
 He had left his skiff on the beach and was approaching camp where he thought there might be evidence of deer out of season, when he heard a noise in the brush near him. F1- nally he whistled, thinking that it might be some hunter who would shoot first and look second. The noise continued near him and he hoo-hooed, so there could be no mis- taking his presence
 Almost immediately a great brown bear stepped out into the clearing abouts 20 yards distant. Lund was not armed. The bear stood looking at him and Jack looked at the bear Finally Jack turned slowly around and started for the beach, and the bear also started to follow him, keep ing about the same distance. Lund wanting to make camp, reached the beach in another direction from his skiff, and came out on narrow spit, with the bear keeping him com 1 pany. Lund walked as far as the edge of the water and stopped and the bear stopped, and the two again engaged in a sort of peek-a-boo ex change. The bear kept lifting uI one of his paws. Jack made up his mind that if Mr. Bear came any closer he would take to the water After the two had gazed at each other some little time, Lund made up his mind he was going to camp any way, bear or no bear.
 He edged along the spit and passed within fifteen feet of the big brown fellow, who kept cycling him. Jack then climbed across some logs, with the bear still watching his every move intently, but after getting over the logs, Jack put on his best speed and never looked behind. He was ir hurry and did not care who knew it. He found out after reaching camp, one of the men had wounded brown bear that day. Old timers who have had much experience with bears cannot understand why the bear followed him without attack l ing him.

MORE SECRETS ARE
 GIVEN OUT ABOUT
 THE BIG "BERTHA'

LONDON, Feb. 19.-Agitation by
 the French for possession of one of the German Big Berthas'' which hombarded Paris from a dis tanhe of over 70 miles has brought to light some of the secrets of the manufacture and operation of the huge super-cannon. The guns were pointed at an angle of 65 degrees, using a charge of 300 pounds of ex- plosive, which hurled the projec- tile to a height of 100000 feet fnearly 19 miles). With every shot, 10 or 12 marine guns of 16 pr 17-inch caliber fired simultan- eously upon targets unknown to conceal the location of the Bertha. The shell of the gun was of 210 millimeter-caliber and weighed 300 pounds. Commandant Mirbel, Tur- kish military expert, stated that the whole secret of the long distance ynn lay in the invention of a spe- ,ial high explosive powder which ,ould only be used in guns of spe- .ial tungsten steel with extraordi- nary resisting power.

not be great. The great electric pow.
 CT that has been developed at a
 cost much smaller than it would cost
 to duplicate the plant, most of the
 machinery at Thane-p all
 of it, in fact, except the ore milling
 machinery-could be utilized The
 ore milling machinery could then be
 utilized elsewhere The industries that would follow the establishment
 of big paper mills would be numer- ous, and wide spread There would be logging, towing, supply towns for the logging communities, and agricul-
 tural development throughout the country.
 Much Electrical Power The electric plants of the Alaska
 Gastineau are capable of developing
 12,OOO horsepower, and by the addi tion of Carlson Creek power, this
 could be increased by 10000. Even should things change, and if
 the Alaska Gastineau should continue as a permanent mining company, it
 is possible that paper mill may be
 among the future industries for Gas | tineau Channel at Thane.
 Will Continue Steel Plans Mir. Thane says it is the purpose of the B. L. Thane Development De- partment to. continue with it's plans | to establish steel plant at Seattle l with blast furnaces, sheet and plate
 mills, and other branches of the steel industry The war has made | the demand for a Pacific Coast Steel 1 industry very important. Thousands of steel and metal workers have been brought to the coast, and the | demand for steel on the Pacific slope greatly increased. The increased l freight rates, with the improbability that they will ever again be as low as they were before the war, makes | the need for the development of the I ores and steel business on the coast greater than ever. MT Thane ex- poets to be able to get the capital on the Pacific coast to put the steel industry on it's feet.
 Readjustment of Country MT Thane thinks the readjust- | ment of industrial and business con 1itions in the United States will be quickly brought about, and will begin
 in earnest when peace shall have been arranged at Paris. It is gen erally estimated that it will take from six months to eighteen months for conditions again to become nor
 mal MT Thane thinks it more likely to be nearer the shorter than the longer limit. He believes things | will begin to adjust themselves as soon as peace is definitely arranged. f md some day people will awaken to he knowledge that affairs are in good condition, and everything run hing smoothly.
 The fact that the big business men and larger producers of the country are not planning on making any prof it's, but are simply trying to keep wheels turning and everybody em- ployed is one of the things which MT. Thane believes will count for success ful readjustment. It is conceded by those of all classes that the welfare of the country demands that there not be horde of unemployed or un- lerpaid laboring element in the coun- try, and the business men of the INY- i 2 readjustment without any radical reductions in wages.
 Will Be Here Two Weeks MT. Thane is at the Gastineau Ho- tel, and will remain here for at least two weeks, and, perhaps, longer.
