HOW A BEAR BROUGHT ABOUT A WEDDING "The minute Job's Judy seen who it was, an' the old bear layin' there dead in the road" said the man from the Knob country, "them big eyes of her'n snapped an' that red head o' her'n actre'ly hurt my eyes, it glared so. She stomped her foot on the ground an' she snapped out: "'Drat you, Joe, you're always interferin'!" she snapped. 'Here,' says she, 'I went an' ketched——' 'But I'm startin' a little too fur to'rds the middle o' my story. Mebbe I best to begin som'ers nigh to where it starts from. I mowt as well say, while I'm about it, that this bein' bear comin' out and sugar bil'in' time of year is what put me in mind of it. "Well, I was settin' there on a log yet, ponderin' when they come with the steers an' stun drag to haul the dead bear in, an' when they went away with it I says to young Joe who was startin' off in another direction, to look at a bear trap he had som'ers in the woods: "'Joe,' I says, 'when's it comin' off?" "Joe he looked at me sorty skeert like, an' he says: "'When's what comin' off?" "Why,' I says, grinnin' an' chucklin' 'the weddin', I says. 'When's it comin' off?' I says. "Then Joe he looked so skeert like that I thought sure he was goin' to run away, but he didn't, an' by an' by he spluttered out: "'What weddin'?" "What weddin'"? says I, grinnin' some more. 'Jest as if you didn't been her own young uns, and on with the rampagin' old her heels an' gainin' on her "Seein' that the chances Judy was liable to slip up calc'lations o' get'in' to try clearin' with them cubes stop to ask her what she out there in the woods at o'day, tryin' to kidnap bear's babies, but hauled u to send a load o' buckshot she bear so as to coax t to stop a spell on the way. "I riz my gun an' drawen to the old critter jest where the buckshot 'd'a down the most, for in t more she'd had Judy by when bang! went a gun o woods on t'tother side of "Judy she stopped as if shot too, an' squared around road, clutchin' the squealin'in' bear cubs tighter'n ever some one come slothin' ou brush on t'tother side o' It was young Joe, with his smokin': "'Drat you, Joe, you're interferin'!" she snapped. 'He an' ketched these two cubes takin' 'em in an' fetchin't th along with 'em the smooth runnin' her into the clearing could git the hull family here you sneak in an' spilled by shootin' the ol' bear o killin' her in cold blood! Joe! You're always interfere "It was a sight that almme bust out a-laughin', hi "When's what comin' off?" Why, I says, grinnin' an' chucklin' 'the weddin', I says. When's it comin' off?' I says. Then Joe he looked so skeert like that I thought sure he was goin' to run away, but he didn't, an' by an' by he spluttered out: What weddin'? What weddin"? says I, grinnin' some more. Jest as if you didn't know! says I. Why your'n an' Job's Judy's!, says I. Whose else? says I. When's it comin' off, Joe? Young Joe, he jest stood there in the road an' stared at me like an owl, he was so all took back. It wan't more'n about sunup then an'—but seems to me I kin git a leetle nigher the beginnin' o' the sarcumstances o' the case, fer betwixt me an' you I've snagged on to well nigh to'drs the endin' of it. To set things out shipshape, then, I better say first that young Joe had been makin' up his mind fer quite a spell back that about the most pleasin' an' comfortin' piece o' property to jine to that toler'ble snug clearin' ol' Joe, his pap, was goin' to give him by an' by, was that red head of Job's Judy's. An' nobody could blame him, fer when Judy use to put them Sunday-go-to-meetin' pranel gaiters o' her'n on an' git into that blue caliker frock with the white spots in it as big as a 2-shillin' an' sling her foot a-balancin' to her pardner or hands-a-roundin' or sashayin' down the middle or do-si-doin' she was a piccher, I want to tell you, that'd make a bear fergit his appetite fer young pigs. But she was peppery about that red head o' her'n. If you wanted to see the sparks fly all you had to do was reference to it in her hearin'. That'd be all. An' she was always holdin' young Joe off as if she didn't keer to have him come kittenin' around her, but folks couldn't help but notice jest the same that she'd git tremendous fiery an' flary if he edged up around any other gal. Now, natur'lly an' under the cercumstances, not havin' no inklin' of the proceedin' that mowt 'a' gone be- "It was a sight that almme bust out a-laughin', hi in the brush, young Joe he all cut up an' sheepish fe But he began to grin ag'in an' he says: "There ain't no use, Jhe. The only way you me from interferin' is to m says he. "I'll do it!" snaps Judy her foot an' flarin' and gl red hair 'most standin'on do it, jest to spite you, o she snaps. "She jammed one o' the l squealin' bear cubs in yo arms an' sayin' that she'd steers an' the stun drag the dead old bear. They tto'reds Judy's, she givin'y p'tic'lar fits as long as I em, as I knowed by the w head o' her'n kep' bobbin't tin'an' flashin'' like firewor" "So I sot there on the erin' when they came with an' stun drag to haul in bear. An'I kin see your this day standin't there in starln'att me like an owl, had gone. "Yes,' I says, 'Yor'n a weddin', I says. 'When's off?' I says, tellin'him how it. 'An' what in under the nopy o' the bulgin'd dome o'ament on high,' I says, wa Job's Judy spookin round woods fer at this time of Judy kidnapin' bear cubs, standin ready to rescue their rip-tearin'mammy?'" "Why,' says he, 'didn't we had a sugarin-off shind clearin last night, Dan'l?" s Joe. "Yes, I knowed it, but Well,' said Joe, 'when That'd be all. "An' she was always holdin' young Joe off as if she didn't keer to have him come kittenin' around her, but folks couldn't help but notice jest the same that she'd git tremendous fiery an' flary if he edged up around any other gal. Now, natur'ly an' under the circumstances, not havin' no inklin' of the proceedin' that mowt 'a' gone before, I was consider'ble took back as I come to the edge o' the wood road jest before sunup that mornin' to see Job's Judy streakin' it down the road hellytehoot huggin' one kickin' an' squealin' bear cub under one arm an' squeezin' another kickin' an' squealin' bear cub under t'tother arm. Her long red hair was streamin' out behind her like it mowt 'a' been a bush fire chasin' of her, an' swingin' along not more than two rods in the rear, lookin' as if it mowt 'a' been a thunder cloud with a gale o' wind shovin' o' it along, was a tremendous big old bear, which, knowin' somethin' o' the habits an' customs o' bea- I sat down to wunst as bein' the mammy o' the cubs Judy was sailin' homewards with. Now, some gals, I don't keer if they was born in the woods an' wa'n't skeert of owls, would a' drawn the line at bein' swallered up by she bears, an' would 'a' dropped them bear cubs quicker'n if they'd been red hot irons, which would 'a' stopped the bear chase on the spot, but Job's Judy wo'n't stuck together after that sort of a pattern an' she hung onto them squealin' an' kickin' an' scratchin' cubs as if they had Job's Judy spookin' round woods fer at this time o' Judy kidnapin' bear cubs, standin' ready to rescue their rip-tearin'mammy?' "Why,' says he, 'didn't we had a sugarin'-off shindle clearin' last night, Dan'l?' s Joe. "Yes, I knew it, but I'in was over, 'long about this mornin', it was darken smoke offen a burnin'tan was seein' Judy from our her'n an' as we was stumb I though mebbe I'd sort oo things a little, havin'' shirt sider'ble few o'' pap's man feelin'' sorty gay. "I mowt 'a' known bown'in to the cider I didn't, by I chuckled an'a says to mebbe if she'd jest take offen that head o'' her'n an hair a chance it'd light us lanterns. "Dan'l'' says young J the way I can fetch my fi without hollerin', that it been right under this left Judy protested ag'in that a ea o'mine. I don't know long I kicked an'a flounder road, but by the time I go feet an'a the stars had quail an'a blazin' Judy had scoot couldn't find her nor git o track. "She tells me now that lost in the woods an' cudo'lonside a log an'a waited light an'en when the first st OUT A WEDDING own young uns, an' scooted the rampagin' old bear at an' gainin' on her. that the chances was that is liable to slip up on her ons o' gettin' to the tannen' with them cubs, I didn't ask her what she was doin' in the woods at that time tryin' to kidnap that old bibles, but hauled up my gun a load o' buckshot into that so as to coax the critter spell on the way. my gun an' drawn bead on old critter jest at a spot buckshot 'd 'a' hefted her most, for in two jumps 'd had Judy by the neck. went a gun off in the t'tother side of the road. she stopped as if she'd been an' squared around in the chin' the squealin' and kickcubs tighter'n ever, just as come slothin' out o' the t'tother side o' the road. you, Joe, you're always in' she snapped. 'Here I went these two cubs an' was in an' fetchin' their mamm 'em the smoothest kind, enter into the clearin' so's we the hull family alive, an' sneak in an' spile my plan the ol' bear down an' in cold blood! Drat you, you're always interferin'. is a sight that almost made out a-laughin', hidin' there begun to come she started fer her home. "On the way back to the road she run ag'in the two little bear cubs in a holler stump an' jest picked 'em out to fetch on along home with her. The subsequent proceedin's — well Dan'l,' says young Joe, 'the weddin's comin' off a week from Tuesday, an' this is an invite fer you to be thar,' says Joe, startin' on his way to look at his bear trap, an' sorty strokin' hisself gentle an' tender like under the left ear, where I noticed for the first quite a swellin' was bulgin' out from that little love tap Job's Judy had give him, an' sarved him right." COLORADO COAL FIELDS Rich Deposits Discovered in Grand Mesa Country The Grand Mesa coal field, located on the southern rim of the Uinta coal basin, which lies partly in northwestern Colorado and partly in Utah was investigated during the summer of 1907 by geologists of the United States Geological Survey. The field derives its name from that of the high table-land between Grand and Gunnison rivers, and the coal beds underlle the mesa and outcrop along the south and west sides. They extend westward into the Book Cliffs field, north of Grand Junction, and eastward into the Anthracite Crested Butte region, long known for its anthracite coal, and thence northward along the Grand Hogback. The investigation of this field was undertaken for the purpose, first, of ascertaining the relations of the coal bearing rocks to other formations; second of segregating the coal land OREGON COAL RIVER Rogue River Valley Coal Valuable Deposit Coal occurs at many of the Rogue river valley oren Oregon, between mountains on the east and math mountains, locally Siskiyou mountains, on long, narrow coal belt to the south and southeast. Rogue river valley east of Ashland, Oreg., and coalfield through the Siskiyou mountain into California, a total nearly 100 miles, is described. Diller of the United Statical Survey, in a report for survey as bulletin 341-C. is now ready for free copy. The principal prospect have been made near Ashland, but others have on Evans creek, to the near Ager, in California, Mr. Diller states, 'however though the coal beds havepected at six localities ans creek and Ashland, 40 miles, the evidence th able does not indicate city of the same coal bed that distance, but rather ment of small beds a fgreatest extent parallel belt and to the old show which the vegetation acce swamps to form coal. the beds shows a decided toward the northeast. At present the coal beetle to Evans creek have only est as the source of fuctailed investigations it should show these deposits. These two cubs an' was in an' fetchin' their mamm with 'em the smoothest kind, enter into the clearin' so's we in the hull family alive, an' sneak in an' spile my plan in' the ol' bear down an' war in cold blood! Drat you, you're always interferin'. Is a sight that almost made out a-laughin', hidin' there rush, young Joe he looked so cup an' sheepish fer a spell, began to grin ag'in by an' by, says: Are ain't no use, Judy, says the only way you kin keep interferin' is to marry me,' do it!' snaps Judy, stompin' an' flarin' and glarin', her most standin' on end. 'I'll just to spite you, drat you!' Jammed one o' the kickin' an' bear cubs in young Joe's sayin' that she'd send the stun drag in to git old bear. They trudged on Judy's, she givin' young Joe its as long as I could see known by the way the red her'n kep' bobbin' an' twisashin' like fireworks. Soot there on the log pond they came with the steers drag to haul in the dead I kin see young Joe to standin' there in the road me like an owl, after they I says, 'Yor'n an' Judy's I says. 'When's it comin' says, tellin' him how I knowed what in under the blue cahe bulgin' dome o' the firm high,' I says, was you an' only spookin' round in these at this time o'mornin', snapin' bear cubs, an' you ready to rescue her from tearin' mammy?' I says. Says he, 'didn't you know sugarin' off shindig at our last night, Dan'l?' says young I knew it, but I'd forgot.' said Joe, 'when the dance The investigation of this field was undertaken for the purpose, first, of ascertaining the relations of the coal bearing rocks to other formations; second, of segregating the coal land from the noncoal land and classifying it according to the legal subdivisions of the general land office; and, third, of determining the thickness of the coal beds, the character and quality of the coal, its accessibility with reference to topography, and its location with reference to lines of transportation. The economic results of this investigation are summarized by Willis T. Lee, the geologist in charge of the work, in a report published by the survey as bulletin 341-C. This report, whose appearance has been long delayed as the result of a fire at the engravers' which destroyed important map illustrations, is now ready for distribution and may be obtained by applying to the director of the survey at Washington, D. C. The outcrop of the coal in the Grand Mesa, field forms a long, sinuous band in the western and southern slopes of the mesa, and for convenience of description the field is divided into four districts—the Gunnison district, between Grand Junction and Delta; the Palisades district extending from Grand river to the southern point of Grand Mesa; the Rollins district, extending from the southern point of the mesa eastward to Paonia; and the Somerset district, which includes the coal east of Paonia. The coal beds of the Gunnison district are not thick enough to be economically important, and no close estimate can be made of the total amount of coal in the field until more is known of the number of coal beds and their variations in thickness. The following approximate estimate, quoted from Mr. Lee's report, is however, of interest: "The average thickness of workable greatest extent parallel belt and to the old show which the vegetation acclimates swamps to form coal. The beds shows a decided toward the northeast. At present the coal bed to Evans creek have only est as the source of fuel tailed investigations should show these deposits more extensive than is rare the coals may become, went in gas producers, increases of power. INCREASED TRANSFER Between Eastern and Western coasts of the U.S. by way of the Isthmian steamship lines amounted 000 in value in 1908, a crease over any earlier ing to figures compiled by statistics, department merce and labor. The railroad on the isthmia, 40 miles in length largely to traffic growing construction of the Panama railroad at Tehuantepec, length, although opened beginning of 1907, carried and 1908 between $60-$70,000,000 worth of merces between Atlantic and Pacific United States. Of the merchandise oway of the Panama railroad 000 worth moved from New York, and $250 of it went to San Francisco. The distance between and San Francisco is lines: Via Panama, 530 Tehuantepec, 4415 miles. I knowed it, but I'd forgot." said Joe, 'when the dancover, 'long about 4 o'clock in', it was darker'n the fen a burnin' tar bar'l. I Judy from our clearin' to us as we was stumblin' along mebbe I'd sort o' liven up little, havin' shirted a con-few o' pap's man cider an'arty gay.

The following approximate estimate, quoted from Mr. Lee's report, is, however, of interest: "The average thickness of workable coal, based on available information, is 11 feet for the Palisades district, 15 feet for the Rollins district and 65 feet for the Somerset district. It is probable that these figures will be increased when the beds are all prospected. If the practical limit of available coal is assumed to be 6 miles back from the outcrop, there are about 120 square miles of coal in the Palisades district, about 235 square miles in the Rollins district, and about 195 square miles in the Somerset district. Coal of 1.3 specific gravity weighs 81.25 pounds per cubic foot, and a square mile of coal 1 foot thick contains 1,132,-544 short tons. If the estimated thicknesses are correct, the Grand Mesa coal field contains 19,842,270,880 short tons of coal in workable beds. After deducting 25 per cent for waste in mining, there remain 14,-881,703,160 short tons of available coal, mainly on government land."

A narrow coal belt stretching to south and southeast in the Rover valley east of Medford and Oreg., and continuing on with the Siskiyou mountain divide California, a total distance of 100 miles, is described by J. S. Moore of the United States Geological Survey, in a report issued by the U.S. as bulletin 341-C. This report is ready for free distribution. The principal prospects in this belt have been made near Medford and Oreg., but others have been made from a creek, to the north, and Ager, in California, to the south. Miller states, however, that all the coal beds have been proposed at six localities between Evans Creek and Ashland, a distance of miles, the evidence thus far avail-able does not indicate the continuity of the same coal beds throughoutistance, but rather the develop-ment of small beds a few miles in most extent parallel to the coal bed to the old shore line along with the vegetation accumulated in rocks to form coal. The coal in beds shows a decided improvement in the northeast. Present the coal beds from Ager creeks have only local inter-ests in the source of fuel, but if de-investigations in the future show these deposits to be valuable.
