NEW YORK, May 7.—Late Sat
urday night Chairman Saunders, of
the United States Naval Consulting
Board, discussing the new invention
which would drive the submarines
from the waters of the world, made
a further statement that every steel
mill in the United States would soon
be put to work constructing machin
ery or the explosive, if any is used
in connection with it, and stated that
the announcement of the invention
and its perfection was made to al
lay the growing fears over the U
boat situation. - » .. 1
In reply to hundreds of questions
given him by the newspapers he
said that the invention could not
only be counted upon to clear the
seas of submarines, but would blast
whole armies out of existence and
raze fortresses of either steel or
masonry, if necessary.
“Every steel mill in the country
will soon be turning out machinery
for the invention,” stated Chairman
Saunders. “Already machines have
been built and several more are un
der course of construction for ex
perimental purposes.”
Chairman Saunders is a native of
Columbus, Georgia, and has a dis
tinguished career as an engineer. He
was graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania and has written ex
tensively on engineering subjects.
Thomas A. Edison, who is mainly
responsible for the invention, refus
es to discuss the new machinery
which will revolutionize modern war
fare.
WASHINGTON, May 7.—The new
invention is being guarded perfectly.
It is admitted by naval authorities
that it is a positive wonder.
RECORD WAGES ARE

NEW YORK, May 7.—Record wa

is promised until the men are back at
the port of embarkation. The men
will receive $100 and the officers $250
and passage home if the ship is lost.

UNIQUE STQRY
(Valdez Miner.)
Stories about bears are common in
Alaska for bruin is largely represent
ed in almost every section of the ter
ritory, but it remains for a resident
of Valdez, an old timer who has trav
eled over a goodly portion of the
North to bring forth one exceedingly
original. According to the tale an
excitable gentleman of French extrac
tion, was traveling down one of the
swift streams of the North in a canoe.
The current was swift and he was
moving along at a rapid gait when he
saw a sweeper in the shape of a big
tree hanging almost entirely across
the river, the stream having under
mined its roots. Selecting a place
where he though he could go undA
without difficulty he steered for the
opening and just as he got close to
the tree he saw for the first time a
big black bear directly above him on
the tree.
Bruin caught his first glimpse of
the man and boat at the same time.
The Frenchman dived precipitately
overboard and struck out for the
shore, while bruin, equally startled,
lost his balance and landed square on
his back in the canoe in the place so
recently vacated by the former occu
pant. Bruin was fat and the canoe
narrow. He was wedged in so tight
he could not turn over. His paws
brushes the branches of the tree and
he hung on for dear life. For the
present we must leave Mr. Bruin to
his own devices and follow Frenchy.
No sooner had he struck shore,
which he did in record time, than he
started off on a dead run for a samp
some distance up the stream. He ar
rived there out of breath and tremb
ling with excitement, but finally suc
ceeded in impressing upon the men in
the tamp that then? was a bear some
whi re and that he wanted them to
tc.Ke their guns and come along with
him. Securing their rifles they fol
lowed the back track of the French
man, who was exuding water and pro
fanity at every step. On the road he
succeeded in telling a coherent story
of his adventure. When it was all
out his hearers little expected to find
any sign of bruin at the tree, believ
ing of course that he must have gone
down the stream for a ways in the
canoe and then taken to the water,
but imagine their surprise on arriving
on the scene to find that Bruin was
still there. Evidently the bear’s grip
on the branches had been a good one
and instead of relaxing this hold he
had succeeded in again regaining the
tree trunk and was slowly making his
way shoreward. And the canoe, he
had that with him also, for he was
wedged into it so tightly that he had
been unable to shake it off and was
packing it along on his back.
A well directed shot again brought
bruin off the tree, this time stone
dead. At a bend of the stream a
short distance below bear and canoe
were swept in close enough to the
shore for the men to seize and drag
them in. Bruin was pried out of his
snug-fitting coat, it was righted, and
without an outfit Frenchy continued
on his journey.
Another party of three men whom,
for the sake of harmony we shall call
“Fatty,” “Frenchy,” and “Shorty,”
left town not more than twenty years
ago to do a little prospecting on the
upper end of Tazlina lake, and to
reach their destination mushed in over
the glacier, and down the old ninety
eight trail, which follows down a
small stream to the lake, and then
down the Klutina river to the inter
section with the present Richardson
trail. Arriving at Klutina lake they
pioceeded along'its northerly shore,
through a very rough and broken
country to the mouth of the stream
coming in from Lilly lake, and struck
out over the foothills for the Tazlina
lake country. The three men had
made an early start, one morning, and
were making their way along a steep
hillside, covered with small timber,
when they ran unexpectedly upon a
bear and her cubs. “Shorty” prompt
ly crawled up a small tree, bat His
weight was too much for it, and it
bent over until he rolled off directly
in the path of the approaching bear.
“Fatty,” whose embonpoint was pain
fully prominent at this stage, cob.I
not get close enough to a tree to climb
it, and was doing the goose step with
his finger tips touching a sapling and
| his eyes (Irotruding from his head,
j The bear by this time was dangerously
; close and coming like a Kansas cv*
| clone. Her lips were drawn back
i displaying a set of fangs which looked
: like 42 centimeter guns, and her
| eyes were red with rage. “Frenchy,”
more agile than the rest, scrambled
up the hillside with the exclamation,
“By gar, she damn mad, you clime dat
tree ‘Fatty,’ ” and was making good
progress when his feet became entan
gled in a bush, and he fell headlong
right in front of the gaping jaws of
the bear. The pans and hardware he
was carrying rattled and banged, mak
ing a noise like hail on a tin roof.
His sudden appearance, coupled with
his vociferous yells, and the noise of
the pots and pans was to much for
mama bear, and with a “woof!” she'
cleared the prostrate Frenchman and !
giving “Shorty” a slap on the back i
which sent him ten feet away, disap-!
peared in the brush.
“Frenchy” scrambled to his feet,
and turning to “Fatty” who was still
doing the goose-step around the tree,
exclaimed:
“By gar, dose sacre-blue bear shej
git you some tarn Fat you doan leave
dose damn belly home.”
The authors of the above tales are
reputable citizens who lay great stress
upon their probity, and therefore we
believe with slight variations to suit
the stories they must be true.
