Storm Songs of Battles and a California Bear Tale
A long fragment blends a Civil War memory with a Californian bear tale. It recalls a shipwreck voyage, a Bayou Lafourche crew, and a dramatic bear escape after a fire. The narrative threads include a race and gambling nights in New Orleans, a brutal bear loose in a restaurant yard, and a trek across California with mining and travel lore interwoven.

WOMAN WORK AND WAGES IN PORTLAND SOCIETY
A long column argues for women entering the workforce to support themselves and reduce vice, urging improvement in employment avenues, especially in bookstores, dry goods, and shops. It condemns risky urban temptations, cites anecdotes on exploitation, and calls for a Portland women’s employment bureau led by charitable women to provide safe, fair work and uphold virtue.
