Campers Hold All Night
Session With Bears

Prof Irving E. vining, who with
his brother, Ralph T, vining of Port
land, is spending several weeks at
the Lake of the Woods, where he is
overseeing the construction of a
summer hunting lodge, comes to the
fore with bear story that Is the
sensation of the camp in that sec
tion. The combined efforts OF the
Vining Brothers, together with Hal
Emery and Arthur Wick, both Of
Ashland, succeeded in bringing
down a large brown bear and two
cubs after strenuous night spent
in the woods.
Thursday night Prof Vining left
the camp for walk down to the
lower end of the lake, taking with
him his rifle and three shells. At
about dusk he started back to camp
and had returned about one-quarter
Of a mile, when he saw two cub
bears scampering up the road, an1
monster bear in the edge of the
brush. Not thinking of his small
supply of ammunition, Prof. Vining
fired at the old bear as she went into
the brush. 1t was so dark that he
shot by guess, but the cubs took
fright and Skinned up a big tree by
the road side.
The tree was bare of limbs for
about fifty feet, with very dense
foliage at the top. The hunter fired
at one of the cubs as 1t scooted up
the tree and the shot evidently took
effect for the little animal squealed,
but continued clambering up until
II reached refuge in the foliage. The
alarm of the cub enraged tho bear
in the brush, and she began to tear
thlngs up 10 general
Realizing The scarcity of ammuni-
tion and deciding that discretion is
the better part of valor, Prof. Vim
ing decided that as 1t was quite dark

to camp TO-. more ammunition and
help.
He reached camp in short order
and secured his cartridge belt and

brother Ralph hurried back to the
tree where the bear cubs We're

too high to be ge5n with the Slash

aggregation consisting OF violin

a particularly pleasing combination
and afforded a rare treat to the au-
dlence. The lecture, Worlds in the

into realms of science, making them
reallze the insignificant part this
little earth plays in the universe.
The evenings program opened

BILL INTRODUCED AGAIN

Addison T. Smith has again intro
duced the bill to appropriate 800,
900 for the purchase NOf site and
for the erection of federal building
at Blackfoot.
Most Of the business men of the
town have joined together in the
purchase of site on Ash street one
block west of the Eccles hotel, and
will hold it until such time as the
government is ready to adopt a site,
when it will be rendered to them at
actual cost. This move was made
to insure getting a desirable site a.
a reasonable cost, and to stabilize
the plans and growth of the town.
1t. takes away the uncertainty that
always exists when the town has no
definite plans to govern its growth
or the direction of its growth from
some business center.

What An Abstract Is
The abstract that we speak of
consists of thirty typewriter pages.
the pages were eight and a half by
fourteen inches in size and the NeO-
style is small machine for repro
ducing the typewriter pages some
what like printing press does, but
with less expense. The abstract re-
cited the minutes of each meeting
during the winter and spring in
which matters pertaining to the bond
election were attended to. 1t re-
cited each step of the process OF
calling the bond election; it recited
the notices publish in the official
papers; it showed copy of the proof
of publication made by each editor;
it recited the documents used by the
sheriff and deputy sheriff to show
that the notices of election were
posted, and where they were posted
in each of the twenty-three precincts
in the county. After a notice was
posted on Peterson's store for the
Riverside precinct, the whole of the
affidavit of the official was recited,
word for word, in the abstract and
such was the case with each of the
other twenty-five precincts in the
county. 1t recited the names of the
persons acting as election officers
in each of these precincts. 1t re-
cited the returns by each board of
judges and it recited the. official
count as made-by the board of county
commissioners when they reviewed
the work of the election board. 1t
recited word for word and dot for
dot the full history of all the trans
