MEETCH DIARY TELLS
HUNTS FOR BIG GAME
*
Many Thrilling Experiences in the Open Noted Briefly by
One of City's Noted Sportsmen
During his big game hunts the late
William B. Meeteh. whose funeral oc
' curred this afternoon, kept a diary
and many of the entries throw light
on his love of adventure in the open.
His son. Harry W. Meetch. accompan
ied his father on most of these out
ings in the great hunting areas of the
Nortli American continent and could
tell many an interesting story of the
happenings in Air.-ka. the Rocky
Mountains, Mexico and the Canadian
' moose region.
A Telegraph representative was
permitted to-day to glance over some
of the entries in the several pocket
diaries which Mr. Meetch left among
his personal effects. These entries in
clude tests of his guns—the range,
trajectory of ball and other details,
all showing the care with which the
dead hunter prepared for his search
for the grizzly, the moose, the Alas
kan bear and the other big trophies
which bear witness to his prowess,
i One entry refers to a hunt on the
western edge of the Black Hills in
1908 when the Big Horn Mountains
were covered with snow. In May. 1908.
the entries show that he was in Alas
ka, where he had some unpleasant ex
periences and brought down several
big specimens of the Alaskan best.
The diaries are punctuated here and
there with interesting comment on
guides, the topography of the country,
the places visited, the weather condi
tions and characteristics of the coun
try and customs of the people. Those
who knew Mr. Meetch can appreciate
the thoroughness of his studies on
everv question and the entries in
these personal diaries constitute an
•A interesting narrative of his many big
qf game hunts.
Smell of the Woods
There were times when the hunters
were confronted with serious prob
lems Here is an extract from one of
the entries: "Many years' experience
has convinced me that the man who
carries a gun for pleasure is almost
alwavs a gentleman at heart regnrd
less of the elegance of his iangunge
or the length of his purse. There are
exceptions, of course, hut thev are
rare. What is the reason? I cant
give any; I never met anyone who
could; it is so written; it is in the
Fmell of the fields and the woods, in
the sight and sound of the water
(wlnther it be the rippling hrnok. the
rushing river or the ceaseless pulse of
the ocean!; it is In the bigness of the
* prairie and the grandeur of the moun
tains; it gets into the blood and It
stavs there: it gives a man kinship
with nature; teaches him to revel in
her beauties and makes him unafraid
even of her solitudes."
He tells In one of his diaries of his
encounter with a big Alaskan bear on
a high mountain range and how after
a long chase Bruin frequently lying
down in the snow the hunters got into
a favorable position and finally killed
him. This chase was under conditions
which tested the endurance of Mr.
Meetch and his party, the hunters be
ing almost exhausted through sinking
deep into the snow as they followed
the big bear in his efforts to escape.
"Bear and men advanced in lines
which approached each other." con
tinues the entry. "until we were
within about 150 yards when we
, souatted in the snow, waited until lie
was within about 40 yards, coming
almost directly toward us. Then 1
opened the ball. This was a little
after 10.30 p. m. a cloudy night and
no moon. Once I looked up to sec how
much darker it would likely be and
raw only one star. We were on the
open snow in a country where it
never gets very dark during the short
summer nights." t
At this point the entry refers ro
the testing of the sights on the guns
and he continues: "The chase had
lasted more than three-and-ahnif
hours', we had climbed about 1.000
feet in the deep, soft snow with the
V sharp Bchring Sea wind in our faces,
cumbered with heavy rifles, ammuni
i tion, field glasses, long rubber boots
and such clothing as a man would of
„ necessity be obliged to take when
there was likelihood of his being
obliged to remain out on the moun
* tain in the snow over night. The snow
was soft and deep and 1 was pretty
well done up by the exhausting
climb. The bear was coming down hill
almost directly toward us, always a
bad feature at close quarters, and it
was surely a time to do our very best
to stop him, disable him. get him
down, for the tremendous vitality of
this great brute will enable him even
after having been mortally wounded,
te travel several times the Interven
ing space which separated us from
him. and one blow from his huge paw.
armed with its cruel claws, would
either leave a hunter In very bad
shape at midnight far from warmth
and proper rare or perhaps more
- merelfullv send him In the twinkling
of an eye to the happy hunting
grounds over the great divide."
Many Shots Needed

of the hear and the hunters at the
opening of hostilities. "The hear was

'toward our left." continues the nar
; r-itlve, "which was very fortunate, as
it did not place us directly in his path.
I held the white ivory bead sight fair
on his shoulder and fired. He broke
i down and as he raised up I fired
again at Ills shoulder. He humped up
at the shot and Bales said, 'you've got

and Bales commenced tiring. 1 got
one other shot before I had to stop
shooting as my line of fire was get

bis rifle tfive shots) as the huge dark
body went leaping, stumbling down
the mountainside for a distance of
about 75 yards when he went down
once more and unable to regain his
feet, commenced to roll, disappearing
over the brow of the hill Hie had
passed within 20 yards of Bales and
within 25 yards of me. After reload
ing our rifles we hurried after him
only to see the wide path in the snow
which marked his course. We follow
ed and found that he had fallen over
pome rocks and had slightly bedded
himself by the fall In <he hard snow
below the ledge.
"When we skinned him the next
day we found that three balls had
struck him in the shoulder within the
space which would be covered by an
ordinary saucer, one in the throat too
| low down to do much damage, and one
in the front of the hip."
The entry concludes with the ef
forts of the hunters to get the huge
carcass down the mountainside and It
was midnight when the party started
for iamp which was reached at 2
o'clock in the morning. They turned
in just as daylight was lighting up
the hills, crawling into their sleeping
lags for a little rest. Then follows
the storv of the skinning of the great
bear, which required three hours jl
steady work.
Severely Plain Diet
The notes of Mr. Meetch are of
more than usual interest because of
his intelligent comment upon, the
I storm ond ?<now and sleot and thfc
I hardships which are endured in the
chase after the Alaskan bear. The
labor of getting the enormous hide of
' their first big trophy back to camp
, was most exhausting. Says Mr.
'Meetch: "Rolled up and tied as it was.
I dragged by the end. it made a roll of
I fur nearly IMs feet thick and about
II feet long." A . .
Mr Moetch's entrv as to the size or
the beat shows the length as he lay
on liis bellv huncVted up in the snow.
7 feet three inches, and length as he
lav on his side 8 feet 10 inches. The
width of the front paw was 8 inches
and the length of the hind paw 13
inches. The circumference of the neck
behind the ears, the steel tape drawn
! tightlv, was 4 feet 4 inches. The width
i between the cars was 12 inches. Other
i details of the measurement show the
' bear tc have been one of the largest
lon record. His coat was perfect and
' the guide declared him a fine speci
i men in every way.
I Some of the writer s comments on
'the average guide and camp cook are
I interesting as throwing light upon
I their peculiar characteristics, especi-
Inllv regarding their improvidence and
! disregard of ordinary precaution in
! preserving food and necessary wood
i for tires On this particular point the
diary leads. "Their appetites crave
' what tastes best to them and is most
: easily prepared anil they live on what
I happens to be left and the trouble is
1 that the sportsman suffers as well as
ithe guides; mope so even because the
I sportsmen may not be accustomed to
starvation rations or even the severe
ly plain diet which frequently marks
I the end of the tripi"
1 The foregoing extracts from Mr.
'Moetch's pocket diaries are similar to
imanv others and show the man whose
| friends laid him at rest to-day to
have been a discriminating natural
! ist as well as an enthusiastic hunter.
!He frequently discusses the flora of
I the country through which he chased
I the big game and tells of many in
intr experiences under all sort*
r,f conditions and circumstances.

The funeral services were held
! this afternoon at 2 o'cloek from Mr.
j Moetch's late residence. 1620 North

bers out of the theaters throughout
the country where Shubcrt shows are
playing, it was- said, that broke the
back of the managers' opposition. By
sibling out one firm of managers the
International Alliance of Stage Em
ployes and Motion Picture Operators
demonstrated its determination to get
at the heart of the opposition. The
stage employes and motion picture
operators, together with the musicians
and other theatrical workers' unions,
joined the forces with the actors soon
after the latter went on strike to en
force recognition of the Actors' Equi
ty Association, which is affiliated
with the American Federation of La
bor.
Bitterness Shown
The strike, from a rather mild be
ginning, which the public became a
party at open air meetings and free
performances in front of the theaters
soon developed a bitterness that pre
cluded an early settlement. Both
sides remained firm, the actors for
recognition of their union and restor
ation of their contrat form and the
managers for terms of their own mak
ing. which did not take any notice
of the Actors' Equity Association.
The new Actors' Fidelity League or
ganized since the strike began by
George M. Cohan in an attempt to
force the Equity Association to a
settlement, had no part in the final
conference and agreement. It was
intimated that the Fidelity would
soon disband since*the striking act
ors refused to recognize it.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
GAININGS FAVOR
Officials of Steel Plant En
dorse Plan For the
Borough
Every day sees increasing _>opu- |
larlty for the daylight saving plan .
as proposed for the borough. Tho I
scheme ts similar to that followed {
by an Increasing number of cities I
throughout the country. It calls for I
an hour's advance of the clock tor I
the five summer months, beginning ,
with the last Sunday in April af ev- i
ery year. Unless tho plan goee i
through In Steelton the residents of I
the borough wltl lose the extra hour j
of daylight next summer. And the
past two summers have well proved
the value of that extra hour of
day light. It has meant Increased
pleasure in the evening for the auto
-Ist, the tennis and baseball players.
For the home gardener It has meant
a saving of many dollars in the cost
of living, In giving him time to
work In the garden that otherwiso
he would not have had.
During the past week or ten days
the citizens of Steelton have ex
pressed their feelings in the mat
ter in a most decided way. The
officials of the steel plant have
heartily endorsed the plan, and ex
pressed the hope that the Council
would see fit to pass it. Merchants
throughout the town are coming
forward In favor of the plan. Tho
best and heartiest endorsement, of
course, comes from the working
man who Is shut up in a mill for
the entire day, and who finds in the
extra hour of daylight In the even
ing opportunity for recreation.
It is not known whether the reso
lution will be introduced at the
council meeting on Monday even
ing. It may be held over for the
October meeting, but when It Is in
troduced it will in most probability
go through. Sentiment throughout
the town is in favor of it. A num
ber of the members of council have
already endorsed the move.

"Large on the top. sir. and amall

sistant of his master, as he prepared to
fill a barrel.
"Certainly not!" replied the farmer,
virtuously. "Honesty is the best pol
icy. my boy. Put the little apples at
the top and the large ones at the bot
tom."
The assistant complied. His master
was evidently as green as his greenest
fruit.
"Is the barrel full, my lad?" asked
the farmer.
"Yes," answered the assistant.
