KENNECOTT LAD
KILLS LARGE
BROWN BEAR
Late in the autumn, it was reported
that a big brown bear had been seen
a mile from Kennecott, evidently look
ing for a “clean up”, preparatory to
“denning up” for the winter. The fact
that he had been fired upon several
times, did not deter him from linger
ing in the vicinity and somewhere in
his subconscious memory lurked the
idea that nearby in a pen were herded
together creatures composed of grunts
and squeals, intended later on for con
sumption by man. His instinct must
have told him that with his internal
economy well larded with pigs he
would be better prepared to witHstand
the winter’s coma prescribed by na
ture, and emerge in the spring to
better enjoy the pursuits common to
his kind to say nothing of snatching
from his enemy, man, a coveted
dainty. So reasoned Bruin, but alas
for his plans which like unto those
of man, “Gang aft aglae,” for a lad,
Jim Dennis, jr., also had a plan, to
wit, “that is would be a fine thing to
put bruin’s hide in process of curing
and he proceeded to put it into execu
tion. Another incentive was the fact
that others were hunting the animal.
So Jim, jr., armed with a 30-40 rifle,
and accompanied by his younger
brother “Buster” fared forth in search
of adventure and incidentally the bear.
The boys were walking leisurely along
when suddenly there appeared bruin, j
big and brown. Only the man who has
hunted big game, knows how the boy|
felt when confronted by a like situa-|
tion. He knows how, for a breathless ;
instant, the heart misses a beat and
their the blood goes racing. He hasj
shared in common the joy of throwing
rifle to ghoulder and taking an aim
that must not miss, and Jim knew he
must not, for there was the unarmed
brother.
Between enemies the courtesies of
the trail are disregarded, and the
crack of the rifle and the ping of the
bullet sang the death song of bruin;
down he crashed, but was up again
and the sounds of rage that came from
that wounded body were likely to pro
duce chaos in an older mind. “He’s
coming for us,” yelled Buster, “Shoot
Jim, shoot.” And this time the bear
did not rise. Gone was the vision of
the coveted feast and probably a mem
ory of his former habitat and the
friends of his kind lingered and faded
as his bear spirit passed on to the
“happy hunting ground" peculiar to
bears. His outer covering that con
tained it was duly stretched and
cured, and will serve as a reminder
for many a day of the time when Jim
mie Dennis shot his first 600 pound
bear.

SUGAR BEET SEED OF
UTAH IS PROFITABLE
LOGAN, Utah, June 2 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Sugar beet seed, equal
and frequently superior to European
seed, is being supplied to sugar beet
companies in this section by the ex
periment station of the Utah Agricul
tural college, here. Originally, the seed
came from a strain of the best sugar
beet seed produced in Europe and it
has been carefully cultivated by the
experiment station for 15 years.
Due to the fact that war conditions
cut off the supply of European seed it
became necessary for farmers in this
country to cultivate their own seed
and the. efforts of the experiment sta
tion have been in this direction for
some time and there has been devel
oped a strain of pedigreed sugar beet
seed that is hardy and in every way
suited to western conditions. Sugar
companies in Idaho, Utah and other
western states have been purchasing
the seed produced by the experiment
station of the college and in some in
stances have developed new strains
from those purchased.
Authorities at the college declare
that the United States is rapidly be
coming independent of Europe for its
sugar beet seed supply.
