Show THE CITIZEN 14 cubs were still in the tree and a shot each brought the cubs down dead. A man of inexperience put to this test would have been killed by the bear. Ordinarily a bear will run when a man is encountered, but Peterson said that the bear had rushed at him to protect her cubs which he had failed to see in the tree. Had he seen the cubs in the tree he would not have approached the thicket, because that is one time in a bears life when it will fight to the death. The first shot fired into this bear proved very effective and must have seriously injured the animal. It then forgot to attack and must have thought of the safety of its cubs which it ran to protect, and the only reason why Peterson is alive today to tell the story. He says he would not take a fortune for his trusty gat that saved his life, nor does he want another such experience. TWO PAL3 AFISHIN Being thin blooded and not able to withstand the rigors of our wintry weather, and also having contracted a bad case of fishing fever, Howord E. McCoy of the American Telegraph college, and J. W. Shipler of Shiplers Commercial Photographers, packed their fishing tackle and left via auto for southern California. The last heard of the pair, they were fishing near San Diego and catching lots of sea fish, also some black bass and perch. The other day, Mac tacked onto a big one which towed him out several miles to sea and he had to cut the line to get back home or he might have landed in New Zealand. Shipler is not keen on this trip to catch any of the big ones and he is doing more sight seeing than usual. But Mac is different. He wants to catch a big shark to make a pair of hip boots from the skin for wading our local trout streams. Mac is still going bareheaded in hopes that the sun will start a new growth of hair, but so far he has only raised a big red blister on his dome. The pair will return home when they get tired of fishing. TOURIST TRAVEL Western tourist travel for the year 1927 was heavy, according to F. S. McGinnis, passenger traffic manager for Southern Pacific company. Mr. McGinnis said today that ticket validations for all lines for the westbound tourist season. May 1 to Oct. 31, totaled 138,822 for the Pacific Coast, an increase of slightly over 6 percent over the year 1926. Looking ahead to the year 1928, Mr. McGinnis anticipates equally good tourist traffic to California. General business conditions for 1928 should be as good as they were and said McGinnis, during 1927, there may be improvement Therefore, there should be no deterrent on tourist traffic on this score and the other factors such as increased interest in the West, a growing desire to see America as against travel to Europe and the continued advertising being carried on by vari- ef-re- ct community advertising organizations in Oregon and in California and also by Southern Pacific. The advertising done by one city on the Pacific Coast cannot be considered to be competitive with that of another city inasmuch as tourist travel is concerned, for every effort is now being made to get travelers to See the Whole Pacific Coast, and the tourist brought to the Northwest by the advertising done by that section is encouraged to come on south to California and see the California cities and vice versa. Southern Pacific has linked itself with this effort, as can be seen from its promotion of the great circle tours' whereby travelers traverse the entire Pacific Coast, and its general advertising where people are urged to come one route and go another so that they can see a great range of territory. Southern Pacific expended in the neighborhood of a million dollars in 1927 for advertising, much of it spent to induce Easterners to visit the West. This advertising is to be continued vigorously. TINTIC STANDARD The new big strike at the Tintic Standard silver mine of Eureka has created much interest all over the country and the stock is rapidly rising to new high records in price, with a big demand for it. Again the eyes of Wall Street are directed to Utah and as a result Utah stocks are jumping in price. The Salt Lake Stock and Mining exchange is a busy place these days. The people are beginning to realize that Utah mines in a majority of cases are a good investment. Nearly every property has doubled in stock values over a year ago, and many of those who purchased stock a year ago can now cash in at a big profit. Mining men predict that the dividend paying mine stocks will go high- - er or to a level of their real worth and remain there as long as the ore holds out No year has ever opened with a more promising mining boom and it looks like mining will have its biggest year yet during 1928. Utah is the biggest mining district in the world today and leads in the production of silver. the Canal de Rove, the biggest m ground canal; the billion candle j er searchlight at Mont Valeries the alternating cu he generators at Gennevilliers. 50,000-kilowa- tt tab HOW SLIPPERY THE ICE Two business men were discore a competitor who once had behc employe of the older of the two I happen to know that fello(t I sharper and not above lying or i RAILROADERS PENSIONED ing when its to his advantage, marked the older man. arj Do you know him personally Know him?

Cunningham, secretary of the companys board of pensions. Among them were men who, starting as brakemen, office boys or laborers, had risen to positions of authority. Upon many of them rested for years the burden of responsibility for safety and lives of thousands of passengers and fellow employes. The average term of service was slightly more than 32 years. Among those pensioned were five who retired with fifty years or more of service to their credit, and four who had worked for the company more than 48 years. of serv- Boss: Why arent you busy?(ji fc you find something to do?

At the beginning of 1927 London England had about 500,000 telephones, while Chicago had over 800,000 on the same date. At the end of 1926 there were 412, 361 miles of railroad, including all track, in operation in the United States and 57,960,000 miles of telephone wire. The telephone service recently established between London, England, and Copenhagen is reported to be giving satisfaction. It is expected that, in the near future, through telephone calls may be made from Copenhagen to New York. Switzerland has long been known as an international center for the legal and political activities of Europe. The new direct telephone cable connections between that country and Cologne, Hamburg ond London may some day make Switzerland an international telephone center as well. At the beginning of 1927 there were about 1,500,000 telephones in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. On the same date the five biggest cities in the United States New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and Detroit together had considerably more than twice this number of telephones.
