ployed Mr.. Lind for the benefit of
the people of Linton and will not be
satisfied until the people come to hsar
him.
Mr.. Swaney is bringing a gospel
message every evening. He is inter-
ested in the people Of Linton, the
worst and the best. He is present
ing the greatness of the task which
faces the church and is appealing to
men and women, and especially young
people to accept the challenge Of the
great task. The people Of Linton
are urged to hear his messages from
night to night.
The meetings will continue for two
and half weeks and will grow in in
crest and helpfulness each night.

Mr.. Gregg had been after this par
ticular bear for four years. He
ranged from Mt. Eddy 10 the big
rock on Moffitt creek. Last fall he
killed two of Mr.. Gregg's dogs and
broke leg for another on this last
hunt. He would keep in the thick
brush and rocks. fight dogs and keer
on travelling, The big fellow was
coming straight for Mr.. Gregg and
was not ten feet away when the
final shot got him.
Three shots were fired into hi:
shoulders with 90-30 while he had
one of the dogs down and he never
flinched. Finally he quit the dos
and ran toward Mr.. Gregg who was
on foot, having left his horse il
order to go into the thick brusl

WOUNDED CHEERFUL UNDER

One OF the most vivid descriptions
of both the humorous and pathetic
sides of the war was given by Capt.
McKendrick, of the Canadian forces,
who is working under the auspices OF
the War Council of the Y. NJ. c. A..
He was a member OF one of the first
Canadian units to he sent overseas,
and is one of the few remaining alive
OF the many that went over in that
regiment. Captain McKendrick was

by the explosion of an underground

ironies of the present war he told

MINING OPPORTUNITIES
IN SIBERIA ALLURING

The War Trade Board at Wash
ington gives out the following infor-
nation in regard to the mining pos
slbllities in Siberia:
Siberia possesses practically all
the natural resources necessary for
flourishing industries, but these re-
sources remain for the most part
unexpected and industries undeve!-
oped. The immediate and most ur.
gent need in this respect seems to be
the exploitation of iron and other
metals which are necessary for the
rehabilitation and improvement OF
the transportation system, which is
inadequate to meet the needs.
According to reports, plans have
already been prepared to erect steel
manufacturing plants, which would
use all raw materials on the spot.
The Trans-Siberian railroad stimu-
lated coal mining and II is thought
that this can be sufficiently develop
cd TO supply all needs.
Mining in Siberia has heretofore
been confined principally to gold,
copper and silver, whereas iron, lead
and tin, large deposits of which are
found, received little attention. East
ern Siberia contains large mica beds
recently discovered and is rich in
good graphite.
Mining methods now used in ST.
beria are rather antiquated and the
Introduction OF modern mining ma
chinery and modern mining methods
in general will greatly stimulate pro-
duction."

NIGHT MESSAGE RATES
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST

While other sections of the coun-
try have always had the benefit
of a reduced rate for short over
night messages without restriction,
the Pacific Coast has never had the
benefit of night message rates ex-
cept to comparatively nearby points.
This has now been corrected by Post
master-Gencral Burleson who has
ordered that effective January 1st a
universal system of night messages
at greatly reduced rates shall obtain
in all parts Of the country, Manager
Newcombe of the local Western I'M
ion office advises that under the new
schedule OF night message rates the
people OF the Pacific coast will have
q rate as low as soc for messages of
ten words to New York City and
other places on the Atlautic Sea-
board, with an added charge of only
&c per word Tor additional words.
To Chicago where the night message
rate has been 60c and &c for each
additional word the new tariff is
only 45c plus Sc for additional
words, while corresponding reduc-
tions are made thruout the system.
To nearby points the minimum rat
is reduced from 25c to zoe.
There is a very large and constant
ly increasing need for quick com
municatlon across the continent
which this new system OF short over
night letters at cheap rates is well
designed to meet. 1t should prove Il
great boon to business interests on
the Pacific coast, by bringing them
INTO close touch with all parts of the
country at very low cost.

Two Major League Managers Content
 With 1920 Players
BY FRED TURBYVILLE. N. E. A. Sports Writer.

Pat Mora and Iris Speaker can go ahead and enjoy the winter league season without worrying about the future. Both managers will likely stand pat on their 1919 lineups for the 1920 races. And a lot of fans and other baseball men are expect ing the Reds and the Indians to fight it out in the big series next fall.
 All the way through Moran's team looks good. It is a winning com bination that showed lots of fight and teamwork for the 1919 season and why should Moran experiment with changes for 1920? None of his men is sd old that crack in the team is feared.
 At Cleveland Iris Speaker has a corking good catching staff, fast and steady infield and an outfield that ranks well with any other in the game. There is only one de partment that may see a change the pitching staff. There are too many on the staff now and some may be dropped. Speaker also may procure a good ieft-hander before the start of the 1920 grind.
