F. McAuley of Premier had
a narrow escape from possible
severe injury when a front tire
on his car blew out Tuesday
evening on the Hyder-Stewart
road and sent the car hurtling
against the rocky bluff over
hanging the highway. A fen
der and the radiator were
damaged in the crash but Mr.
McAuley and his companion,
Ben Malmin, providentially es
caped with nothing worse than
bruises. Mr. McAuley stated
after the accident that had the
car been headed in the oppo
site direction at the time, it
would undoubtedly have been
hurled over the high outer
edge of the highway and into
the waters of the Canal.
The concluding sessilon of
the series of enjoyable Pioneer
Friendship Club progressive
whist series was held Saturday
evening in Pioneer Hall with a
good sized gathering attend
ing. Prizes for the series were

evening to Mr. Thornton and
Mrs. Edgar Provinse.
Residents of the forest town
site are up in arms literally as
well as figuratively over the
depredations of blacks bea>-s
which have lately taken to
plundering vegetable gardens
in that section of town.
Through absence of molest
ation, the bears have become
quite numerous in the Salmon
river and Texas creek valleys
in the past few years and now
evince little reluctance toward
coming into town. In recent
weeks they have despoiled a
number of gardens by digging
up the growing vegetables and
trampling on others. They ap
pear to have a special par
tiality for carrots, although
not adverse to sampling ether
vaiieties. As a result of their i
raids the householders are
growing decidely wrathy and
some of them are laying for the I
bruins with various types of
weapons. One was shot last
week by Al. Sweeny when the
animal invaded his yard in
search of a vegetable dinner.1
Several persons have reported
hearing the animals snooping
around their premises at night
and occasionally coming up on-!
to porches.
