Boy Is Badly Injured
 By Brown Bear

Charlie James, a Sitka Native boy aged Io, was brought to Sitka last night suffering from about 30 wounds inflicted by a brown bear. ]. Howard Bailey, one of the most experienced Native guides and hunters in that section, and three others were camping in the Hoonah Sound district while smoking sal. mon. Being in need of meat the party went hunting deer. They started up hill, and shortly after ward, when separated, Bailey heard the boys cry for help and saw him in the mouth of a big brown bear. The bear was running and carrying the boy. Upon catch ing sight of Bailey the beast drop ped the boy and began chewing him. Bailey could not fire without endangering the boys life but final ly succeeded in driving the bear away. He fired at him while run ming but did not kill him. Dr. Pigg stated that the boy will prob- ably recover unless blood poisoning sets in. All the wounds are mostly on the back.

Twelve Year Old Boy Kills
 Brown Bear

The killing ot a large brown bear by One of the youngest hunters in the Gastineau Channel took place recently when Johnny Long, I2 year old son of Loves Long. a member of the crew of the Ambassa- dor, shot and killed a bear On the beach by his home at Seymore Ca- nal. Young Long had been along the banks of King Salmon river with a party of berry pickers and just as the rowboat in which they were returning neared the Long homestead the bear was seen on the beach. Standing up in the boat Johnny fired a shot at the bear. The bullet took effect just above the eyeball and the bear fell, dying almost immediately.

old Boss's fingers do before.
r ITS yours" he said, holding ii
forth. "All of it, or any part of it.
l told you that night before last"
But the Boss drew back his hand
as if the thing had been red-hot
coal.
Eyes, and you heard what 1 said"
His eyes roved everywhere but to-
ward his companion.
But les putt it in tn bank-an' tn
sooner TIL quicker" His eyes feel to
the floor. "Nothin' that can putt tn
devil in Teller like that amt got no
business layin' around among river
men.
The Boss was ill at ease, smarting
under the shame of the evil spell that
had mastered him.
The Pearlhunter was a man who
seldom took the trouble to hunt for a
word if an act would do as well.
Quietly rolling the pearl up in the
cloth again, he left the cabin, and fol-
lowed by the Boss, strobe down the
slope through the trees to the boat,
and together they rowed away toward
the village.
The fame of the Pearlhunter had
preceded him. AS he came up from
the wharf into the Mud Hen, the one
saloon of the place, disgorged a swag-
gering, swearing population that
gathered around him. The Boss
crew, camped half mile below Fall
len Rock and the crew Of Bull Mas
terson, campel three miles above,
were both there. Besides these, the
Obenchain, a small steamer plying
between the ports of the Wabash, had
come in that morning bringing other
river men.
Caught in the swirl of the crowd,
the Pearlhunter and his companion
were swept into the. Mud Hen. A
hundred voices clamored to have the
pearl laid upon the bar where all
could file by and see it. There fell "a
few minutes of comparative quiet
while the hungry eyes OF the river
men were devouring it. Then fol-
lowed drinks all round-at the ex-
pense of the finder; and-what fol-
lowed is not a pleasant task to de-
scribe.
The Pearlhunter, remembering that
mound of fresh earth at Fallen ROCK,
kept his head and drank but little.
The Boss, on the other hand, "cut tn
dog loose as the river men say. BY
noon he was singing snatches of half
forgotten songs and fighting the In
dian Wars all over again. Coming
up to where his young friend learned
against the bar, in easy reach of the
pearl, still lying upon it's bit of cloth,
he threw his arm about his neck and
leant hard upon him, something he
couldn't have been hired to do when
sober.

"Not a thing, Boss"

DAYDREAMING.

1 wish I had little house.
AS cozy as could be;
With automobile and garage,
A chauffeur and maids, three;
I think I'd like
Some nice new clothes,
Say half a dozen dresses,
A few chapeaus, and
CNeath the rose,
Some permanent waved tresses)
I'd like to get a kitchenette,
And with it a connection
One who would stay, and every day
Would cook meals to perfection;
I'd like to buy some apple pie
Made with some apples in 1T,
And tits my dream to have
Some cream
But oh, just wait a minute!-
of all my wants the one that haunts
Me most is this-You see,
/ like three Jumps of sugar
To a cup of breakfast tea!
All, Me!

LIVESTOCK DEVELOPING IN
FLORIDA.

That livestock interests are @. de-
veloping in Florida cannot be ques-
toned. This is especially true of the
hog industry, says J. M. Scott, of the
Florida Experiment Station.
The following figures supplied by
Armour and Company give a good
idea of the change in the hog indus
try that has taken place in their
packing plant in Jacksonville, Fla,
during the past three years. In 1917
Armour and Company killed at their
Jacksonville plant 30,069 hogs aver
aging 1856 pounds live weight. In
1918 they killed 50,570 hogs averag-
ing 155 pounds. In 1919 they killed
68,734 hogs averaging 165 pounds
live weight.
These figures are not guess work.
They are actual facts. This shows
over 100 per cent increase in the
number of hogs and nearly 20 per
cent increase in live weights, all in
three years time.
That is not all. During the next
five years there will be<another big
increase in the number and size of
the hogs. A large factor in the de-
velopment has been the swine grow
ers' association organized in January,
1918, which has been a live wire so
far as the hog interests of the state
are concerned. The results of these
efforts are seen in the big improve
ment made in the quality of the hogs
of the state since that time. They
also started the idea of a National
Hog and Cattle Show to be held in
October of this year.
" Mr.. T.. c. Herlong, of Micanopy,
Fla, carried off grand champion hon
ors with one of his Poland China
sows at the international at Chicago
last December.
Mr. Burdett Loomis, Jr., manager
of Highland Oaks Farm, Pierce, Fla,
made the announcement at the recent
State Swine Growers meeting that
during the past nine months he had
sold $4,000 worth of pure breed
Duroc Jersey hogs from his farm
One of the sales was so sows to one
Florida farmer.
The livestock interests Of Florida
are certainly looking up. Florida will
be reckoned with at the leading swine
shows this fall .

THE SUFFRAGE SITUATION
Christian Science Monitor.

Notwithstanding that George H. Will
der, Speaker of the Florida House of
Representatives, has expressed the
opinion that a special session Of the
Florida Legislature to pass on the
ratification of the federal suffrage
amendment is not likely and that Gov.
Sidney J. Cats is said to have told
the suffragists he would not call a
special session unless shown that
sentiment had changed since the last
session, many politicians and mem
'bers of the Florida Equal Suffrage
Association believe that Florida will
be calleds upon to ratify the amend
ment and will do so within the next
few months.
In spite of the liquor interests and
the fact that few of the newspapers
have aligned themselves against equal
suffrage, the sentiment for the fran
ch1se for women is strong in this
state. Florida was the first southern
state to give it's women the vote, the
little town of Fellsmere, st. Lucie
County, in 1915 granting equal NUM-
cipal suffrage. Two years later the
same right was granted in several
other charter towns of Florida. In st.
Petersburg, one of these towns, wona-
en- took a prominent part in the last
municipal election in that city,
greater per cent registered women
voters going to the polls to vote than
men.
Two of the cities which have given
women the vote, West Palm Beach and
St Petersburg, have made trenen-
dous gains in population during the
past 10 years. leading every other
city in Florida, with the exception of
Miami, where the leading afternoon
is strongly pre-suffrage.

And said: They're all my children
