championship of the Pacific Coas.
League and the championship nine of
the American Association have been
received by William H. McCarthy, San

be asked to dAhiy all expenses. The
proposals were for a nine game series,
the team first winning five to be de

Last year Vernon, which won the
Coast pennant, defeated St. Paul,
champions of the association, in the
little world’s series at Los Angeles.

POt)R PTARMIGAN
The weather yesterday being clear
and cool and crisp, sharpened the ap
petites of several hunters for the fea
thered ptaimigan that inhabits the
slopes of Marathon Mountain. Six
of these hunters with guns and am
munition galore, roamed the moun
tain sides the better part of the day
and returned at dusk with just two
small birds. Whether the birds \. ai>
scarce or the marksmanship of toe
hunters poor was not revealed, but
ihe fact remains that Painter, Hansen,
Vaughn, Scholin, lietner and Horner
the hunters who did a marathon on
the slopes of Marathon Mt. didn't get
enough ptarmigan to make a pie. It is
manned that the two*birds secured
will be raffled off this afternoon, but
only the hunters who hunted them will
be ollowed to take a chance.

FIGHTS DUEL TO THE
DEATH WITH DEARS
Old-Timer of Aiayo District Undaunt
ed When Attacked By Three
Grizzly Bears.
THEY ALMOST GOT HIM
(Dawson Mews)
News ol a dating buttle with three
large and powerful grizzly bears is
oiougiit from the aiayo country by
miiinocr of the Yu
kon council, who has just returner,
from a trip to that region. Mi
Mogan tells the story as follows:
* George Arteil, an old hunlci
and prospector of the upper Stewart
region was called upon a few days
ago to face three feroucious grizzles
in the woods, and before the session
was concluded Arteil had driven cold
icail through the carcasses or wit
three big beasts. I saw Artell with
in twelve hours of the battle, and,
beiieve me, he was still a little ner
vous from the effects of the trying
experience.
“Artell had gone over the llighei
across a divide to the McQuesten
valley to get some game for a crew
of miners. Ho was about ten miles
from the Ilighet creek dredge. He
explained that he was at the edge
of a thicket when he heard a growl,
and looked up see a monster
grizzley bearing down upon him,
showing his teeth and ready for
battle. The bear came upon the man
so suddenly and the surprise was so
groat that Artell, notwithstanding
his great experience as a hunter and
, alertness, could not get his rifle
into action before the bear was al
most upon him. But, with uneriing
hand and eye, the hunter drew a
bead, and just in the nick ot time.
The bullet went crashing through
the skull of Mr. Grizzly, and the
big brute fell almost at the feet of
the roan. Not more than fifteen
feet was between thum when the tatal
shot took effect.
“Artell scarcely had dispatched
i grizzly number one than number two
broke into view, and immediately
upon his heels came number three.
The encounter with the first one had
made the man’s blood race, and he
I was all keyed up over the encounter.
Now here was an intensified situa
tion with two huge ones to face at
once. Luckily, they were a littl$
farther away than the first, and
♦ , _v
Eventually OIL Wh| jot Now? ,
Artell had his rifle already in hand.
He had no time to lose. Fine cal
culations were out of place. It was
simply a case of act and act at once.
He did not even stop to think of
home, but put the artillery into ac
tion. The bullets went home to each
biff brute, and the two biff fellows
1 ropped in their tracks. Both were
eominff straight for him, and with
blood in their eyes, said Artell. He
certainly was looking into the jaw
of what would have beeh certain
death that day had he not been
properly armed and have been a
crack shot. Artell is a man with
nerve, and he proved it.
“The battle took place about
August 1. Artell had a repeating
rifle, and says that the way he
pumped the lead into the bears pos
sibly rivaled the fashion in which
the old Boyle Yukon battery show
ered the Fritzies in France.
“Artell is the man who mushed
four days last winter to vote at
Granville *for the drys. He mushed
all the way in over the snow from
McQuesten. In the plebiscite of 1916
he poled a boat up the McQuesten
all one day and two nights, ’taking
up a cargo of dry voters, and they
got to the polls just fifteen minute*
after they closed. That was the time
the drys lost by three votes."
. WINNIPEG, Man., Oct., 11— Pulp
resources in northeastern Manitoba
will remain undeveloped until means
of transportation are established. F.
H. Herchmer, inspector of Dominion
forest reserved, said on his return
from a forest inspection trip in the
district northeast of Norway House.
He leports a good quality of spruce is
found which would make excellent
pulp, but there is no outlet for the
finished .product, the rivers being un
navigable.
SEATTLE, Oct, XI— Probably a
long distance record for professional
orders was made here when Howard
E. Andrews, Seattle landscape de
signor and planter, received a request
from Cape Town, South Africa, to sub
mit an estimate for laying out an es
tate.
The letter was from A. H. Mathew,
head of a Cape Town manufacturing
firm, who read an,article oh landscape
: < 2:
| designing by Mr. Andrews in a mag*
Karine. Mr. Mathqw was aq impressed
the Seattle manfs opinions «$ ,the
Mbjeet that, when he <tediJi b*
'■ prove his estate,' he immodlatsly
thought xrf getting lir. Andretti to
superette the work.
