bear. It was now after 7:30 P. M. and 
in-the thick brush was pretty dark, so 
after one careful look around I saw the 
bear about 30 feet away laying between 
two birch trees. Walking over I found 
he was stone dead with a little blood 
dripping from a quarter-inch hole be- 
hind his shoulder. The bullet had gone 
true, for when I pressed the trigger the 
bead had covered a spot just behind the 
shoulder. The bear lay six feet or so 
from the river, so I pulled the canoe up 
and loaded him in, which was quite a 
job as he weighed somewhere around 
250 pounds. I pushed out into the 
river and by crossing several times to 
get the aid of the back current and 
dead water I reached home by dusk, 
well satisfied with my day’s hunt and 
thankful that I’m living where game 
of all kinds can be found—from the 
shy little willow grouse to His majesty 
the grizzly bear. 
| Soe me put in here a word of praise 
for that powerful little rifle the 
250-3000 Savage. The bullet that killed 
this bear entered his body just below 
the left shoulder, smashing two ribs, 
then struck the spine, tearing away 
two inches of it, which dropped the 
bear in his tracks. Other shots that I 
have taken proves the 250 to be a 
smooth-working, accurate little rifle, 
well worthy of praise.

2 is a recognized fact that the evapo- 
ration in the area to be flooded will 
undoubtedly be greater than the sup- 
ply of water running in; also that an 
original nine-foot raise on the site of 
the old flow was advanced to nineteen 
feet when it was found that the former 
would not flood sufficiently far back to 
necessitate the cutting of thirteen hun- 
dred acres of virgin timber. 
The rapidity with which the forest 
has been razed in this particular sec- 
tion proves as much as anything else 
that the Adirondacks will not last long 
in the repetition of similar operations. 
As though a sinister magician had 
waved his wand, the acres of timber- 
land have melted in the twinkling of 
an eye. In their place stretches a vast 
_ clearing, alien in its aspect, and strewn 
with piles of smouldering wreckage 
and decapitated trees.

If Your 
Dog Is Sick 
Look to His Kidneys 
If they are out of order 

he will be sensitive 
across the loins, his urine will be 
high-colored and frequently voided, 
| his coat will be harsh and staring, 
: his eyes blood-shot, skin unhealthy 
and saliva ropy. 
For this condition nothing equals 
Dent’s Tablets, a kidney alterative 
and diuretic, good for man or beast.
