Huge Grizzly Mauls and Kills Man;
Ranger Battles Four Tough Bears
ny WuCH[EY

Joseph Duret vas mauled and killed
On Slough creek. near the Yellowstone
national park. BY . large grizzly bear
tn ls0. Duret. OF Frenchy. as he was
called by many who knew him well,
lived within two miles of the Slough
creek ranger station. His death recalls
an incident which occurred At the
Slough creek ranger station in 1917.
which involved the killing Of four
grizzlies in almost IS many minutes by
Ranger John Friend.
Greeted by Grizzlies
Ranger Friend was making his first
trip Of the season to the station" said
the assistant district forester. He rode
up to the station on his saddle horse
and tied 1t to hitch rack nearby. As
Friend stepped onto the porch. he was
greeted by a large grizzly bear. who
Immediately objected to his trespass.
Friend shot the animal and, turning.
observed another approaching from be-
hind the barn. This was dispatched.
Yet another grizzly came from the
other side of the house where a pile
of tin cans was heaped In a garbage
barrel and it met like fate. When
the fourth bear made its appearance
large yearling. Friend found his gun
was empty. Remembering there were
some cartridges inside the house on
a shelf near the window he ran toward
the window on the veranda and, break
ing the glass, secured a handful OF
shells and loaded his gun as he went
through the sash. The bear In the
meantime had changed tactics and,
running around the house entered at
the back door.
Bear Leaps Over Table
Friend sent a bullet through tho
heart Of the bear Just as he 'leaped
at him across a large kitchen table,
placed in the doorway between the
kitchen and the living room.
Old-timers recall the advent Of q
bear from Mount Jumbo that came
into Missoula and all but broke up
ball game in progress near the noun
tain. Another grizzly was slain near
the Daily slaughterhouse a few years
ago.

A COMFORTING THOUGHT

While groaning at the thought of
higher taxes ahead, pause and re-
member that times also will be bet
ter. Government agencies inform
us that farm prices in 1912 will be
25 per cent higher than this year,
while the national income will ad-
vance from 10 to Is per cent, or
more than 10 billions of dollars.
Wages of workers, already at new
heights, will soar on upward until
they are virtually double what they
were early in 1910. Cash farm in
come next year is estimated at 13
billion dollars, as contrasted with
9 billions in 1910 and II billions
this year. Best of all, the cost OF
living has not and will not increase
at anywhere near the same ratio
as wages and income. And so,
bring on the high taxes imperative
for safe and strong America.
Well have more money next year
with which to pay them. - mis-
souri, Democratic State Commit
tee).

Metal Company is one Aaron Sha-
piro of the Arrow Beer Company
incidentally, in 1889, Tydings also
introduced a bill which would pro-
hibit the sale of beer by whole
salers on credit in the District of
Columbia. thus requiring cash pay
ment to breweries. The President
vetoed this bill, although it passed
Congress.
SENATOR CHARGES FRAUD
The facts surrounding Senator
Tydings' long battle on behalf Of
the Boston Iron and Metal Com
pany which scrapped the Govern
ment-owned ships is significant
one. For a period of several years
even in 1897, when Japan invaded
China, Tydings charged fraud
and deceit" and refused to ac-
knowledge that the Government
had faced any international emer-
gency.
The facts of the case are that
just about the time Herbert Hoo
yer was defeated for reelection in
November 1892, the old Shipping
Board sold more than one hundred
ships to the Boston Iron and Metal
Company. After the Roosevelt
Administration came into office,
however. it held up the contract
under an emergency clause. Final
ly it released part of the ships, but
on the advice of the Navy Sc of the
ships never were delivered to
Tydings' friends.
Secretary of Commerce Roper
naturally did not want to state pub
licly the reason for withholding
these ships (the possibility of war
abroad) but gave a broad hint in a

Washington, D. c., Dec. 19.-In
the records OF the Senate Claims
Committee is a piece Of legislation
which gives some clue as to where
the Japanese who rained bombs on
American ships at Pearl Harbor,
may have got the scrap iron for
their ammunition.
The entire world knows that
tons and tons OF scrap iron were
shipped from the United States to
Japan, Germany and Italy during
the past decade but not many peo-
pie know that a portion Of this
scrap iron actually was from US.
Government-owned ships formerly
the property of the old Shipping
! Board which were broken up and
sold to the Axis.
Furthermore, few people know
that it was Senator Tydings of
Maryland who consistently bull
dozed the Secretary of Commerce
urging that more of these ships
be sold and who has now introduc-
ed a bill in Congress demanding
compensation for the Boston Iron
and Metal Company because the
Government refused to scrap some
$11, 100000 worth of ships.
Senator Tydings not only intro.
duced his compensation bill in
1899, but re-introduced it in 1941,
even at time when many people
forsaw the United States soon
would be at war with Hitler and
Japan. Furthermore Tydings not
long ago urged the Senate Claims
Committee to appoint sub-commit
tee to hold hearings on his bill per.
mitting compensation to the Bos
ton Iron and Metal Company.

letter of October, 1888, when he
said:
Il do not think it would be COM
patible with the public interest to
set forth any further information
at this time relative to the govern
ment's retention of undelivered
vessels" Roper similarly advised
the Senate in April 1884.
What the Senate realized was
that tons of invaluable American
scrap metal were going into the
armament efforts of Japan, Ger
many and Italy. Also, everyone
realized that if international war
broke out, there would be tremen
dOus shortage of cargo bottoms
available. So what Roper did with
out any saber-rattling was to take
legal advantage of Article 3 Of the
contract.
Shortly afterward, the metal
company suggested that if the gov
ernment would let 1t have AZ Of
the Sc ships and then release others
at future dates the United States
would be forgiven for having in
voked Article 3. Again the govern
ment, through the attorney gener-
al, declined.
This caused Tydings to flame in
three pages of rhetoric, in which
he declared he was absolutely
amazed at the rejection of the very
generous and magnanimous offer"
Tydings accused Roper of double
dealing with the attorney general,
and said, sit takes no genius to
know that the question put to the
attorney general was apparently
phrased to get the answer which

HANGOVERS
Bly,
LITTLE HEISkELL

With America calling on every
one engaged in defense work to
speed up production, and with
hundreds of new plants now un-
der construction, the biggest
program in the nation today, at
least as seen from this type
writer, is the Vocational Train
ING Schools. It's a wonder to me
that the brain trusters of yester-
year didn't get hep to the idea
long, long ago and give it push
and a heave-to. It's the most
sensible thing ever to be born in
the Public School idea lab of the
Nation, and here's hoping that
when we bury Hitler, Mussoiini
and that yellow Punk over in
Toxic, in common grave,
sprinkIed generously with quick
lime, we'll keep right on gradual
ing young boys who can do some
thing with their hands. Hereto
fore, they have been crammed
full of latin, algebra and a lot of
other hockum that meant less
than nothing when the prospec-
tive employer asked 'em: "Weil,
what are you fitted for?"
Right now, as have said, we
are training these boys and girls
right down the line, and it
might interest you to know that
here in the Town of Jonathan
Hager we have the Finest Voca-
tional School set-up on the East
ern seaboard - and don't mean
a spring board! It seems that we
have a Superintendent of Schools
who's sold 100 (or perhaps
should say 1ooo) per cent on the
idea. And when a guy is sold on
an idea and makes a job of it, the
ultimate result isn't hard to
figure out. And before proceed
ina further it amt little me
who's tossing posies at the local
training schools and the top
flight training the instructors are
dishng out to the lads and las
sizes. These reports come from
other states who have sent rep
the set-up and report back the
how comes.

There's no question but that
