Bear Invaded a FIixver.

Even bears like motorcars, as Is
proved by an incident which occurred
in Giant forest, California. A sedan
was left at the foot Of Moro rock
while the occupants climbed the stair
way for the glorious views of the Saw
Tooth range and the San Joaquin val
ley. On their return they found a
black bear cub comfortably seated In
side the car, which he had entered
through an open window. Brun was
licking up the last of the sandwiches
in the lunch and was persuaded to
leave his comfortable quarters only at
the point of pole. ssg@ ;.

Enormous losses have been taken

New prices have been established
which will create q steady demand as

DYER. PROPOSES
ESTABLISHMENT OF
CA MPING SITE
AT CITY LAKE

Proposal to establish q city camping
grounds with privileges of fishing and
boating at the north side of City
Lake will be brought up before the
city commission at its next meeting,
II was announced this morning by
City Manager Dyer. MIR. Dyer with
City Engineer A. B. Paine went over
the ground this morning to make a
rough survey Of the same.
1t was found that a site Of ap-
proximately SO acres belonged to the
city on the north side of the EN-.
bankment. The drainage from this
land runs off into O ditch as 1t Is
below the lake, Mr.. Dyer said. Camp
ing here would not interfere with city
water, he explained.
Access from this site to the lake
Is without difficulty. Fishing and
boating could be made an attractive
feature OF the grounds by building
shore close by.
The scenery from the top OF the
embankment and from othN ridges In
that vicinity is uncommonly attract
i've. Mr.. Dyer said. A spacious glade
IL in the center Of the proposed
grounds now. and It Is virtually sur
sounded with numerous shade trees
Improvement OF the grounds fol
camping purposes would cost but
little. Mr.. Dyer explained. The
ground Is already the city's property
and the cost OF the landing place
would be negligible. A road. however
would have to be built out TO the
site for distance OF approximately
O mile and a half.
All the freedom OF q camp LII,
could be enjoyed except swimming
AIR. Dyer said. Swimming Is nov
and always will be prohibited in the
lake.

EXAMINER SAYS
LIVESTOCK RATE
IS UNREASONABLE
RATES ON CERTAIN COMMODITIES
ARE STIFLING INDUSTRY AND
SHOULD BE REDUCED THE
EXAMINER DECLARED.

Washington, July l4.-Rates on live
stock were held to be unreasonable
from an economic standpoint and a
recommendation was made to the In
terstate Commerce Commission that
the carriers make substantial reduc-
tions for the benefit Of business In
general in report made today by Ex-
aminer Disque. The case. which was
brought by Livestock shippers in the
western states and in which various
state commissions are involved. will
be heard tomorrow by the commission.
Rates on certain commodities are
sitting industry and should be reduc'
ed. the examiner said adding, how
ever. that reduction in rates on traf-
fic in general seems unwarranted at
this time"
The report said that although rates
on livestock were not excessive when
judged from a strictly transportation
standpoint, they "are unreasonable
from an economic standpoint"
The livestock industry. the report
said. would be materially helped by q
reduction in rates because the cost Of
getting to market is a substantial
item.
The examiner said the railroads
fear that If they made q reduction on
one commodity, the same thing would
be demanded in many others, and that
if they yield most Of them will short
ly be found in bankruptcy for it Is
heavy moving traffic from which the
carriers make their principal revenue
on which reductions are sought.
I'VE cannot believe. however, that
the country will allow such thing to
come to pass as general condition OF
receiverships." the report continued.
The original complaint against live
stock rates was made by the National
Livestock Shippers League and other
producers organizations, railroad and
public utilities commissions Of Kansas
South Dakota, North Dakota. Arizona
and Montana, and the American farm
bureau federation intervened in the
case. Other states also have indicated
their intention OF presenting their
views.
