Captain Pau BOytOn's Adventures ON the
Pacific Coast.
Captain Paul Boyton returned yesterday
from Astoria, where he has been for the
past week in quest Of seals and sea lions
for Lincoln park in Chicago. In reply to
reporters question as to his success, the
captain said
IL found the sea lions and seals very
wild. the former being simply ferocious.
While was at the mouth Of the Columbia
the weather was very rough. l spent .
day at Tillamook head and captured four
sea lions, as fine specimens of the animal
as have ever seen. They were, as have
already said, very wild, but with my
method found no trouble in taking them.
THE trail over the mountains that
traversed to reach the head is one of the
toughest think on the face OF the earth.
IL took me eight hours to travel seven
reaching the rock we'll repaid me for my
trouble. The rock was fairly alive with
lions, both large and small The four
took we're captured with very little trouble,
but found on starting for home that
would have to abandon them. The storm
that was raging had blown so many trees
across the trail that it was inpassible for
pack hor. es. The afternoon | spent on
the rock | could have caught all the sea
lions wanted, but | had no use for more
than four.
III also spent day on Sand island in
quest of few specimens of The seal. |
found an abundance of them and took two,
all wanted, with very little trouble, al.
though they were very wild having been
shot at so many times by p ,ssine fisher
men. have been advised by the fisher
men to wait until the salmon canning
season begins, when any number of seals
will be caught in the fish nets which can
purchase at comparatively low figure.
My intention is to wait for few weeks to
let the angry Pacific quiet down little,
when will be able to get what | want.
| q d couple of days ! will have two cougars
ready to snip After shipping nv ami
mails East and giving my exhibition at
Seattle will depart for the East, where
have dates to give exhibitions"
As the reporter was taking his leave the
captain called him back and said: while
ON my way to fliamook rock | stopped at
a ranch at the mouth of Elk creek, at
which place my host showed me two life
preservers that had drifted ashore. On
one was painted Earl Granville, St.
Johns, New Brunswick and on the other
Benz Sewall, 1921, J. o. X. T. 1t is o
mystery to me and to others to whom
spoke where the life-preservers came from,

wrecked and their crews have gone in q

years Last November be came here and

thoroughly capyassed the financial situa.

have been avoided had ordinary

According to the information cleaned
by this gentleman the amount paid the
Northern Pacific railroad in freiehts alone
last year amounted to 81 900, 900. On
this basis the annual sales of our business

Electricity's Awful Fatality.

An electric line man met with her rible death at the corner of Centre and Chambers streets. New York, on the nth inst. by coming in contact with electric light wires. He was employed by the Western Union Telegraph Com pany. and presented horrible sight as he died on the network of wires in mid air. while the deadly fluid actually made his body sizzle. His blood poured GU on the sidewalk and oser the clothes of the mortified spectators The accident occurred in the middle of the day, in one of the busiest pants of the city. It was witnessed by large crowds of peo- pie. The mans body lay limp and mo- tienless over the mass of wires attached to the cross arms of the poles Fire men brought out ladders and one went up with pair of shears to cut the wire. The line man was found dead. The wire in niseen minutes had burned on half of the face of the victim. His left arm was also seen to be burning, and every few seconds blue flames spurted out from various parts of his body. Hundreds of people stood shivering as they looked at the awful sight overhead. Nc one dared ge near.
 Immediately after the accident Mayor Grant was notified. He gave orders that the wires causing this acciden. should be cut at once. IL is possible the mayor may order the cutting of all electric light wires above ground to- night, whereupon . large part of the city will be in darkness.
