BEARS ARE GETTING Berry-Picking Girls and Golf Players Object to These Rude Interruptions The story of the girls who were so badly frightened by bears on Monday while picking berries in the patches near the town of Canmore once more accentuates the fact that the bear population of the Rocky Mountains park is on the increase, and that the bears, along with all other wild animals that are being benefited by the protective laws of the Dominion park, are growing more tame and more liable to encounter. The party of Canmore girls went picking berries in a patch about a mile from town, and while busy stripping the luscious fruit.from the bushes were suddenly horrified to find themselves almost in the midst of a squad of three bears. The terrified girls turned and fled, leaving one of their number fainting on the ground with the bears standing in amazed curiosity only a few feet distant. The girl who swooned did not entirely lose consciousness, and she remembered the bears coming up and sniffing her face before they moved leisurely away. When the girl regained her strength she was so terrified that she did not know where she was going, and wandered around in the brush for some time before she encountered two of her girl friends.

The three of 'them then made their way to town and gave the alarm, for others of the party had not returned. A search party was Boon organized and did not round up the last of the girls until near midnight Becoming Too Numerous. There have been a number of bear encounters In the park this year, though no one has suffered any damage from the animals. Early in the year a couple of grizzlies were noticed on the north side of the town, and men went out to kill them, for grizzlies are not desired in town. One escaped deep into the mountains and another was killed.

A month ago a huge bear was seen several times on the golf links, and later a grizzly met a team on the loop drive. Men were again sent out to kill this animal but failed to round it up. During the season there have been several raids on tents in Banff by black bears, and once a black bear raided a supply tent near Castle Mountain. Three bears have been shot near the Massive range. It la reported from Canmore that the prevalence of bears in the berry patches on the mountain base is very marked and that sometimes there are IB and 20 together at one time.

The bushes are tramped down and torn as though by a band of cattle.

Captain WtaJker'a early education was obtained In the public schools and later In a business college. He re. mained with his father on.

He turned his attention to gunnery and military pursuits and in 1866 received a second-class certificate in the infantry school com manded by the late Colonel McKin- strey of the 17th Regiment of Toronto. In 1870 he received a first-class certificate in infantry at the same school. and in 1873 was awarded a first-class certificate in gunnery at the Royal School of Gunnery, at Kingston, Ont. About 1867 he was appointed lleuten.

This only served as a spur to tils military ardor and he at once proceeded to take a military course, and when the raid of 1S70 took place he went at once to the front as ensign, not regularly commissioned, but assuming the command of a company whose ensign was a doctor and who for private reasons preferred to resign. Colonel Walker, being without a uniform, purchased that belonging to his predecessor, and some time after his appointment was confirmed in No. 3 company of the Holderman Rifles.

BROWN, of the 5th Australian battalion, has had the lower portion of his left arm blown away by a shell while In action during the big British drive on the western front last month. He is well known In this city, having resided here for some considerable time while in the employ of the C.P.R. Being somewhat of a roamer, he worked on a steamship line to Australia and early in the spring of 1915 he-decided to try his luck at a more venturesome exploit, that of com bating with the Huns In Europe; so with a number of his friends he threw In his lot with the Australians and was shortly afterward transported to Kgypt, where he fought for some considerable time before being sent down to fhe Galllpoll Peninsula to contend with all the hardship that confronted the heroic Ansae volunteers.

"You come wlsch me," he invited, so the detectives went, having given him warning. A bottle was produced, a small medicine bottle such as is sold in drug stores.

Tt contained contraband, odorous, seductive stuff called gin. Another bottle appeared containing whisky. Mr. Iennlt had resurrected them from his person. "I like you," be declared to Carruthers, "I like yer looks." Very affec tionately he placed both hands on the I detective's shoulders and looked square in his eyes as he gave the attestation of affection.

Carruthers smiled, and It won deeper expressions of affection from Mr. Lennit. The inebriated one let his hands slip down until he was clasping Carruthers under the armpits and was just about to draw him to his breast when he stiffened, stared at the two detectives In horrified dread, and fainted in their arms. He had folt Carruthers' hand-cuffs and had realized his error. The police hope that they will he able to make a few more arrests this case.

Williamson, Officially Reported Killed, is Honored in Death HERALD PUBLISHED REPORT SIX WEEKS AGO Mother Did Not Receive Confirmation of News Until Yesterday After six weeks of patient waiting, hope alternating with fear that her son.

Private Frederick Alfred Williamson, reported killed in action through an article which appeared in The Herald early last month, might still be alive. Mrs. G. King, of 1531 Twenty-eighth avenue southwest, received the official confirmation yesterday afternoon by telegram from the military authorities in Ottawa. The information which reached The Herald was by a letter from C.

C. Snow-don, the local oil man. who had received word from Pte. P. fi.

Edwards that Fred Williamson, a former employs of the Rnowdon Oil firm, had been killed In action on July 18 while engaged in bombing the German front line trenches. At the time it was believed that the mother of the hoy resided In this city, but her whereabouts could not be located at the time, so the message as received by Mr. Snowdon was published in this paper. A few days ago the mother called at The Herald office to inquire if any further particulars had been received, as she had communicated with the militia authorities at Ottawa and also London, but without avail. Always the disappointing responses, "Have not been advised of the death," and "Rumored, but cannot be confirmed," were received, and the almost distracted mother hung to the last thread of hope that her son might still be alive and the reports unfounded.

But a second letter from the same Private Edwards to Mrs. King's brother in England announcing the death of the heroic young man prepared' the bereaved mother for the worst, and she patiently awaited the official notification which arrived by telegram yesterday. Gets the Military Medal Coincident with the receipt of the report that Fred had been killed in ac tion came a message to the effect that he had been awarded the military medal for the performance of deeds of exceptional bravery while engaged In the front lines. This report was also confirmed in a recent publication of the list of Canadians honored. Writing from the trenches to W.

Forth, of Manchester. brother of Mrs. G. King, Private Edwards says "In going through Teddy's pockets af ter he bad been killed by a grenade I found a letter from you and knowing that you would be anxious to learn just how he lost his life I thought it advisable to forward the details. "With three others Ted was engaged in bombing the German front line from a particular spot in our trenches and had made remarkable headway when the Huns apparently learned from whence the missiles were coming and hurled over a number of hand grenades.

One of these lit right between poor old Teddy and another fellow. Ted was killed outright and the other boy was so badly wounded that he died after being removed from the trenches. We carried Ted about three miles back of the front lines and burled him in a soldier's grave. We marked the spot with a small white cross and left him there to rest forever." The letter, which reached Mr. Snowdon about six weeks ago, waa practically the same and it was the first intimation ever received that the gallant young man had passed away.

Member of Princess Pats Private Williamson left Calgary shortly after the outbreak of the war with the original Princess Pats, having resigned a splendid position with the Snowdon Oil firm In East Calgary to enlist Prior to entering the employ of the aforementioned firm he had been In the services of Pryce-Jones for upward of six months. He came to Calgary in 1911 and had been employed here for that length of time up until his enlistment in August, 1914. In letters to his mother he described the sanguinary fighting on the western front and depicted the scenes of horror surrounding the terrible carnage at the Ypres salient, as he had participated in the historic fight when the Huns sent over their first charge of poisonous gas. He helped carry Danny Gardiner. V.C., from the trenches when he had been fatally wounded, and also told of the deaths of many of the other Calgary boys.

The late Private Williamson was only 24 years of age and was born in the city of Manchester, England. WELL-KNOWN BOOKSTORE CLOSING OUT BUSINESS After1 Ten Years' Trading Mr. Pearson is Retiring Mr. A. E.

She is an honor graduate of the university of New Brunswick, and has been engaged in teaching ever since her graduation in 1902 from that Institution, which is the oldest In Canada. This will necessitate the rearrangement of teaching staffs of some other schools. LAST YEAR'S TAXES Arrears Amounting to $21,000 Wiped Off City Books This Month From the beginning of August up to noon today the total amount paid in for taxes at the Calgary city hall comes to 1145.000. of which 21,000 was for tax arrears.

Mayor Costello agrees with City Treasurer Mercer In looking on this collection for the month as most encouraging. At the beginning of the summer the civic authorities were much embar rassed by the big amount of last year's taxes still remaining unpaid. For several months past the arrears have been coming In at the rate of aroind (20,000 a month and there has consequently been a large reduction in the amount owing by taxpayers for lust year's accounts. While the total still due for 1916 taxes is very much larger than is good for the health of the city treasury, the efforts made to get In the arrears without resorting to drastic methods have Len reasonably successful, and the steady Increase in the amount flowing into the city hall every month gives promise that the question of tax arrears will gradually cease to be a cause of sleepless nights to those who are responsible for keeping the municipal business of Calgary running.

Exactly the reverse is the actual case. The present is an excellent opportunity for carry, ing out deferred work, and amongst this is the relaying of the main road through the camp.

No Mean Undertaking This is no mean undertaking, but the ccmMnuotis' stream of carts with their loads of gravel and stone have within the past few days made very considerable 'headway. One of the city's steam shovels works 4way at high pressure at the bluff close to the street railway terminus. The loading of the carts is done in a most expeditious fashion and the work proceeds uninterruptedly. The road leading down to the north entrance of the tented city has been relayed in a similar manner to that of the camp. Brother of "Eye-Witness" Reference to the C.A.S.C.
