LIVE WILD BEAR
CHARGES "ELK” CREW
A bear involuntarily boarded
the launch Elk and nearly swept
the crew into the sea while the
little craft wavs under way on Sat
urday, July 26, according to an
eye witness who was aboard. The
exciting incident occurred under
the following circumstances: The
Elk was bound from Chicagoif to
Sitka. While crossing White
Stone narrows about 4:30 in the
afternoon, a large bear was
sighted swimming the channel.
Captain Peter Rasmussen seized
his trusty rifle and shot bruin
sufficiently dead to slop bis pro
gress. The tackle was rigged
and the bear hauled aboard ship.
No sooner had the ex-swimmer
been safelyi landed than he com
menced to make things interest
ing. He charge with all the fe
rocity with which a wounded bear
is credited and if looked for a
moment as if all hands, includ
ing the passenger, would be driv
en into the sea.
Chief Engineer Milo Coughlin,
however, grabbedd a gun an
pumped lead into the big fellow
until he lay permanently quiet.
On their arrival at Sitka the
bear was placed on the scales and
was found to weigh 450 pounds.
The big animal is still an object
of curiosity among the inhabi
tants of the ancient town.--Ju
neau Empire.
Why Keep Your Eyes on the
Clock?
“They’s too many clocks an’
watches nowadays.
“I bet none o’ them big guys
that put it over people looked at
a clock before he done it. When
old Chris Columbus bad one foot
on th’ fence armin’ his boat,
shadin’ his eyes lookin’ for New
York, he didn’t have no watch in
his hand, timing himself. ’Way
back ’fore he was born, they did
n’t know what time it was ’cept
at night, when the roosters crow
ed.
“If you asked one o’ them long
legged generals that eat ’em
alive thousands o’- years ago what
time it was, he’d had you pinched
for foolish questions. Long as
it, was sun-up, it was daytime.
An’ when it got dark, it was night.
“It’s only us modern people
gone nutty on tellin’ th’ time o’
day all th’ time. Every little tin
horned geezer’s got a watch tick
in’ away in his pocket. If he can’t
see a clock in front, o’ every jew
elry store, an’ all 111’ public
build in's, he’d have a lit.
Thai, am t all. We got, this
clock bug so bad, every job an’
everythin’ else goes by th’ clock.
If you work at anythin’ you don’t
feel half as happy when you fin
ish it, as you do to see 5 o’clock
come. Most of us got cricks in
our necks watchin’ th’ time. My
watch pocket wears out long ’fore
my vest does.
“This country will never cut
real ice till every guy works
piece work an’ gels his share o’
i th’ profits. Why don’t congress
make a labor commission fix a
lumg-up good price for labor on
all kinds o’ goods an’ job's, an’
then make every shop pay that
much for that much work?
“If your watch run down, you’d
get pay for what you did, any
how. An’your boss’d ,get all that
time you’d spend now lookin’ at
th’ clock.
“Come on lively, we’re way be
hind time.
“It’s ten nuinutes to six, mis
ter.
“Watch your step.”

TACOMA, WASH.
(By George Fitch).
Tacoma, Wash., is nol an ex
hortation to wrap up a hath and
carry it to your residence. II
may sound that way hut it re
fers to one of the most irrespon
sible and uncontrollable cities on
Ihe Pacific slope—Tacoma, once
the rival of Seattle and, accord
ing to tin* Tacoma papers, to
morrow the rival of Chicago.
Tacoma is situated on one of
the many vermiform appendices
of Pugel Sound. Its feet are
buried in the mud Hats, which
are sold periodically to eastern
investors, and its head is in the
Hr forest 300 feet above. Ta
coma slopes gently up out of the
[water and continues to slope un
. til the tourist gives up in despair
and goes home to soak his ten
don of Achilles in arnica.
Tacoma is also situated on
three great transcontinental
railroad lilies and all trains stop
there. Most of them not only
slop there but disintegrate and
go no further. Steamships from
a hundred ports root their way
up the Sound to Tacoma and ev
ery year a whole Hr forest comes
down to the city and is shipped
for foreign ports.
Tacoma was lirsl thought ot
in 1883, and seven years later
it had 38,000 people, most of
whom lived in iir houses. Ta
coma was lirst modeled in Hr like
Portland, but has since been
built in brick and stone. From
1890 tu 1900 Tacoma enjoyed a
long refreshing nap while Seat
I to blazed away with great en
ergy and assumed a commanding
lead which still makes the Taco
man mad when he discusses it.
By 1900 Tacoma had only gained
1,700 additional citizens. Since
then it has grown with great fu
ry and now • contains 100,000
people, 99,000 of whom will sell

Tacoma is 'smaller than Seat
tle or Portland, but is much br
ier Iban either. Police regula
tions forbid discussions of the
two cities by Tacom'ans and Se
attle men. The city is remarka
bly healthy, practically the only
occupants of the cemeteries be
ing travelers who have come to
town and have incautiously al
luded to Mt. Tacoma as “Ml. lla
nier.”
Tacoma, like other western ci
ties, is up to date, and has the
commission form of government,
including a recall clause.a Ta
coma’s greatest ambition is to
recall Seattle to about 150,000
population and then pass her in
the next census.
