BIG BROWN BEAR
IN POSSESSION OF
P[OH POINT WOODS
DRIVES WOODCHOPPERS HOME
WITHOUT CEREMONY-MAK
SHORT WORK OF DOG WHICH
ATTACKS HER.

Gle Elum Echo: The brown bear
with two cubs which has been making
her home lately in the woods adjacent
to the Peoh Point district, is still in
urdisputed possession of the neigh
borhood
Early in the week a man engaged
In chopping wood back of the Herbert
Whiteman ranch accidentally stepped
or one of the cubs sleeping alongside
log and was Immediately charged
by the mother bear, who drove him
out of the woods A dog which at
tackled the bear was killed in the fight
which ensued
Thursday Bill Faudree, a promincn.
resident of the district, had SONY
what similar experience He went to
the woods to cut props, and though
fully provided himself with IA 3O-3O
calibre rifle in the event he should be
attacked by the bear.
Shortly after going to work tha
bear arrived to investigate. Faudrrc
grabbed the rifle from log nearby
and started in one direction, the bear
going in the other at lively clip.
The law classfies bear as game an
imals and prevents their killing at
this season of the year except in self
defense.

\ VISIT TO CHELAN.

Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Rearick and
sons Reynold and Floyd and 0. A. Lee
drove to Chelan and back Sunday.
The up trip was via Knapp's hill anil
we returned through Wells canyon.
The trip was filled with "interest,
for in climbing from the lake to the
divide leading down into Wells can
yon wheel of the jitney broke down
end new one had to be secured and
put in place. Then the engine devel-
OEed a wheeze which at times resemh-
led dozen or so Of chipmunks and
later the sound of horse with
heaves; and two bow-outs and a
broken trus-rod added to the general
interest. To those of US who were
making the trip for the first time
there was much of real interest ~
viewing the landscape-the river and
mountains, desert stretches and beau
tiful farm districts. Most of the out
inl parties from Wenatchee and thn
lower country at this season seem tc
go to Lake Wenatchee, however, for
the Lake Chelan road was not crowd
ed, while on the return trip hundred ;
of autos were met between Wenat
cEee and Leavcnworth.

is:
when you renewed your oblga

ton. From time to time during the
year rumors have come to me which
made me somewhat doubtful, but 80
long as they were rumors only | gave
them little attention.
after carefully reading your adj
Gress | am entirely discouraged and
have come to the conclusion that
there could not be much sincerity IN
your pledge given at Boston.
Charges Statement Untrue.
"Your inference conveyed in the
paragraph relative to the national
grange that your trial was held n
Boston for a purpose is as unkind as
it is untrue, for you must know that
the officers of the grange had no op-
ton in the matter and that the law
specifically prescribes that the trial Of
the master of a state grange can be
held in the national grange only.
"You make the statement that the
grange is in politics and undertake to
substantiate it at considerable length.
You do this knowing all the time ex-
aotly what the obligation of the mas
ter is relative to politics.
"You also advise the grange to
support the national farmers coun-
eli, at the same time being aware of
the fact that the national master be-
fore me made u ruling that the ma
tional grange should not federate
with any other organization, which
ruling was sustained by the national
grange.
