Little Journeys Here and There
BIZ J. A. WYE

It's great pleasure to visit
around among those who live
out in the open with the great
out of doors to guide and in
spire. Here character and a gen.
erous hospitality abound.
The farmer has no office ex-
cepting his home and the blend
ing Of the two, has with him,
become fine art. A representa-
tive Of the American receives the
glad hand, and like the American
itself, welcome to the old home
place. On a warm stove, there
is coffee pot sending forth an
attractive aroma to entice one to
tarry. It's novelizing hospital
ity bids you stop and you at once
feel at home. It's such little
thoughtful courtesies which with
most country folks comes as nat
urally as a sunrise, that makes
you glad you came. And then
to cap it all it is urged upon you
and the offer of a price spurned.
But to accept without token in
return would be base ingratitude.
1t was not yet five in the af-
ternoon when def hands were
laying the supper table. There
were IA cows to milk with two
small boys and an elderly gen.
tleman to do it and other chores.
1t was a wise household practice
Of serving an early evening meal.
To this family circle your cor
respondent was invited and
joined most gratefully. 1t was
good meal despite the protests
of the hostess and best of all
with every portion there was ex-
tended a courtesy and generosity
leaving little undone or to be de-
sired. It's good to be in the
country and to receive such hos
pitality.

The station agent at Bruno,
G. M. Ball, has been at the key
here 10 years, surely a good ex-
ample of ability to serve faith
fully and well. Such qualities
are deserving of more than pas
sing notice and speaks for the
efficiency of corporate rule.
Not far from Bruno is the farm
home of w. M. Plaisted. He
grows grain, potatoes and corn,
raises pigs and milks Guernsey
cows. Sometimes as many as
seventeen cows are MIXED. The
ups and downs of life have not
been strangers to him, yet
through it all optimism prevails.
He believes in his county with
richness of soil unsurpassed and
has no thought Of leaving the
farm. He likes Pine county.

DOING WHAT HE CAN.

Sick and yet working until faced
with bed and perhaps total disability,
the father of this colored family of
wife and seven children. all under
working age, has struggled hard to
meet his responsibilities and to keep
his home together. Unable longer to
do laboring work, he has fitted up "A
little shop in the front room of his
home. where he takes in repair work
and so earns a few dollars as he is
able. Until the children are old
enough to earn, outside help is needed.
Twenty dollars a week. or $1,040, is
asked for the next year for this family
of nine.

He stopped because of engine trouble and noticing that the boat was drifting towards the beach, cast the anchor. The Myrtle H. was then carried ov- CT it by wave.

MUST GO FAST
 TO EVADE BEAR

The hunter who lays any claim to the title has at least one, and generally more, stories of how he outran an in credibly large and ferocious bear which was coming to- wards him with the speed of an express train and was only evaded by a desperate dash which was a sort of com bination of land and air-travel. Such stories will, in the future, be altogether out of place, for the speed of the bear has been accurately determined says the Fairbanks News-M Miner. To speak in figures one must go at the rate of I'll yards every ten seconds to outrun a bear and that is nearly twice as fast as the speediest human has ever travelled the distance on foot. In other words the speed ometer of an auto showed a speed of 35 miles an hour while chasing a black bear which, while frightened, was neither ferocious nor hungry.
 The bear was sighted out Chatanika recently, and upon seeing the auto he started down the road, with the car in pursuit. The hillsides were steep and the animal was not aware of the limitations of an auto, for he trusted neither the hills or the brush. Miles went by, and the bear knock ed off his 35 miles per hour with the regularity ot a train. Finally he made for the brush and disappeared from sight.
 Not many minutes after John ny Longacre came along with truckload of men returning from work ,and in the road was the same bear, although in an extremely weakened con- dition. He patiently started off again; the spirit was willing, even eager, but the flesh was incapable. The men shouted; the bear doggedly trotted along; and he was given a boost every few feet by the bumpers. He stood the bump ing about a mile; and then hit again on the experiment of going into the brush, and was seen no more.

The Porter Idaho pack train has cleaned up the big pile of high grade ore extracted dur ing the winter and has been laid off for a few days while the entire mine crew is engag- ed in timbering the lower tun- nel. Ore shipments will be re- sumed as soon as as this work is completed. About 30 tons of ore are now on the beach awaiting shipment. Ore ship ments from the property are now being sent to the smelter at Trail, B. c. in car load lots GAO tons) via the Grand Trunk steamers. The ore was formerly sent to the Selby smelter. Managing di- rector Clay Porter has found, however, that returns from Trail shipments include pay ment for the zinc content, pen alized at Selby; the duty on lead sent into the United States is saved, and the freight costs are lower, thereby add ing considerably to the profits.
