The White Pass team has won

The previous games were not ;l"
oue-sided, but in fact were very
closely played. it is impossible

surprise if the end of the game
found the W. P. women on the los

BUILDING
MATERIALS
ARE NEEDED
Washington,— (Mall) — Perman
ent buildings of x modern type to
supplant the tents and temporary
structure now occupied by Red
Cross base hospitals la France
are urgently needed before winter
sets in, according to cables receiv
ed from Major Grayson M-P. Mur
phy, Red Cose Commissioner to
France, who has cabled the Red
Crot-8 War Council to ship quanti
ties of building materials at once.
Increased suffering,, owing es
pecially to the shortage of coal,
will result unless structures built
to withstand the cold can be erect
ed before the rigors of a French
winder grip the country. The build
ing problem is so serious In France,
owing to the scarcity of timber,
t)-at Major Murphy cabled for the
immediate shipment of two mil
lion ieet of fir.
Giant fir trees are now being
felled on the banks of the Colum
bia River, in Oregon and Washing
ton, and hurriedly loaded aboard
a ship waiting to carry the lumber
through the Panama Canal to New
York where two complete portable
saw mills will be taken on, as
well as other building material, be
fore toe ship sailg for France.
The supplies requested by Major
Murphy include four concrete mix
era, four portable rock crushers
and portable engines, and two
gasoline tractorE to be used in the
construction work. These will be
taicen aboard at New York. There
are already a number of expert en
gineers with the Red Cross Commis
siou to France who will superintend
the erection of the new hospital
buildings.
Hie American Red Cross now has
more thau a dozen base hospitals in
France, each equipped with at least
five hundred beds, and each in
charge of twenty two physicians,
two dentists, sixty five Red Cross
nurses and 150 enlisted men of the
medical corps. Additional doctors
and nurses have been Bent to 4
number of the hospitals.

ANOTHER BEAR STORY FROM
ANCHORAGE SAYS BIG BROWN
BEAST CHASED MAN AND
WIFE WHO UN UMBERED AR
TILLERY AND SHOT HIM 14
TIMES.
Brown bears are more numerous
uow on the route of the govern
ment railroad near Montana creek
than at any other time in the ex
perience of construction crews. Re
ports from the end of Steel, which
is near Montana creek, are to
the effect that a herd of seven
largo brown bears was seen re
ceuilx by workers.
When the grade was put through,
bears were frequently observed, but
act io sucn numbers as at present.
the animals are so bold that
they come to eat from the swill
barrels at the mess tents.
A few nights ago, a ma^i and his
wife, who have taken a homestead
near Montana creek, heard a bear
rummaging outside their cabin, and
the rnau got up and from the
doorway, shot at the scarcely dis
cernible moving object. In the
mornirg blood on. the ground evi
denced he had hit the animal. He,
armed with a rifle, aud his wife,
carrying a revolver, took up the
trail. It led, after an hour or bo,
iuto a patch of thick brush wherq
*hey turned around to retrace their
steps home. They toad gone but a
short distance, when, hearing a
noise they looked backward, to 6ee
a brown bear chasing them.
They unlimbered their artillery
—tta man his rifle and the women,
her levolver—and opened fire on
the animal. They puiftped him al
most full of lead before toe fe'1
dead six feet in front of them.
Bullet holes in his hide showed he
had beea hit fourteen times, and
coadjulated blood la one of tbe
wounds proved the animal was the
same Uiat the farmer had shot the
preylous night.
