A Bear Story that Tukes t~ Cake A Desec*ption of the HAi by Miss Drexel; of Philadelphia. Capt J. D. Taylor returned Saturday from a hunting trip to the summit .of Marias pass. His observations on the country through which the Great North ern will pass are of interest to the people of Great Falls and we herewith dye them. OQNERIAl INFORMATION. The summit is 125 miles from Great Falls and 25 miles west of the Plegan agency. The ascent on this side' s very easy and the cobtractors will meet with no serious difficoulties In building the road. The summit is a large flat or table land, and in the middle is so low that an eight foot f11i will be necesary to equil lee the grade. In this flt a'ranchbmsa has located and has put up over 80 tons of hay, and if the weather permits he might put up 1,000 tons. The country is covered with a luxuriant growth of grass and is interspersed with groveasf timber. BEnOND TIE SUMMIT. The route here for the most part6 cov ered with a dense growth of timber. suit able for ties and bridge purpose. Ar rangements are being matleto h"e the right of way cleared of all tinber to the Flathed river this winter. .1 onifit. of a 85 men are on the way now to build a wgon road from the uma theriver, Si miles, and downit to the ~tereville Moad. A wagon road is already built to the summit on this sideof.th, range. These roads will serve as a means of trausportatlon for suppile, and ltispgob able that work will be bcuited ons frot both sides during the winter. On-tile western slope the aseeti.4 aneos distcuit and for three-fourths of a mile a trestle 100 feet high will be built. HAT OF THE SUMrIT. On this side of the Summit agreatdeal of rock work Will be necessary. This work extends for about 17 miles and will occupy much of the time until Jan. 1. Before reaching the suntait the route crosses eight streanme, et, :,a large as Dn nriyerthn e watoreaofoi eso are|* Iad sparluug and teeming wls oit out and grayling. The adjac t country is, according to all aocoount, a hunter's para dise. The rich grasees furnish suateVnance for numerous deer, hands of anelope, some elk and mountain sheep, while the fierce grimly bear is, no stranger. In crossing these streams the most dificult problems in railroad construction are en countered. IMMENsE TIRETLEWOB.. There will be four trestles, the lowest of whichwill be 0 feet and the aggre gate length will be sveral iniles. At Two Medicine creek a trestle, 214 feet high will be built. This is the secon. highest trestle in the world and will require 5,000,000 feet of timber. At Cut Bank another trestle 180 feet high, requiring 80`600 feet Of timber wIll be necesoary. The'contcttrs wild i ihe track se fatea netlegdearecn ted, in order to bring in {be fmbersunquirhd for these tiumense structures. MIBRAL Pao.cm .-ra. While on the summit. Dutch Loule showed the Captain some specimens of ore carrying copper and galesa. These were brought from a lead a few miles north of theatasnf seet of St. Mary's lake in the main range. Loole ay the led extends thr mlie. and is four to twelve feet thick. The ore is mixed with white quat' eand found igrenlte formation. Obhas. Tay lor and Joe Srfert are now prospecting in this district and on their return we may hear of the discovery of other rich mineral deposits. A BATTLE WITH ORIZZLIUe. On the top he met met Mr. Peter Slems, the contractor, who told him of a fierce encounter which one of the men had had with bears a few days before. The man, a half-breed, was out hunting when he saw a large bear. Being well armed he concluded to stand hiaground. The bear advanced and who shot dead, but the re ports brought two more grizzlies in eight.: lheee the hunter was also auccesfu int killing before they reached him. Just at this time a fourth bear, a large female, emerged from the brush near by, and before he-could fire was in reach. With one stroke of her paw the trusty rifle was knocked 20 feet away and the man with his coat asd part pf the efles of his left arm torn away, was lying in the power of the ugly beps Jut es she reached him to meeate nish of it, he managed to rise and drawing his hunting knife, as she came on he made a lucky stroke, plhnging the blade into her throm and severing the juglar vein. He was knocked down again and had his hand crushed in her jaws but the wound was fatal and she reeled away. He gathered himself together awbdgot witwy from that region as fast as his legs could carry hitn. He reported at camp and when the boys went out for his gun they found it and four large grizzly bears dead. AT THE AGENoY, Captain Taylor was courteously enter tained by Major Catlin, who showed him about the stockade and gave Him the freedom of the town. There area large number of Plegans under Major Catlin's care who are described as being any thing but intelligent and progressive. Chief White Calf, an old white-haired sachem, gave him an old disfigured gun and a tint-tipped arrow, as memoire of the visit. At the agency, or rather on the reservation, Joe Kip and others have put up several hundred tons of hay. The agricultural possibilities of this reserva tlon may be judged when it is known that thousands of tons of hay might be cut where none was ever cut before, not because the grass did not grow, but there was no market for it. On Friday morn. ing the snow lay ten inches deep and Ire one inch thick was found. THE HOLY FAMILY MISSION. Three miles from the stockade, at the foot of a high blut, surrounded by a grove of ma uifcsnttrees, throughwbhlcl flows the Two Medicine creek, li located the Mission. No more bezutiful location or useful cause could be found than this, which Miss Drexelf.fYbildeedlphis has chosen as the object of her munificence, and on which she has already expended a small part of her large wealt. Under the supervision of Joe Kipp she hbasrct ed a building 146x40 feet with an "L" 100 feet is the rear. The entire building is two stories high with 12 feet geiings. Twenty-two dormer windows add to the beauty of thb building, which is palated white.

The camp is below the Blank 'Maglefalls sad on-the land which slopes gently to the water's edge. The mule become sick several days ago and was turned out to grass on the 'gra along the water's edg.

Ie walked out into the stream a short distance and there put his head under water and deliberately drowned himseif.

The truth of this case is attested by reliable persons and it is certainly the most remarkable instance of the kind on record.
