in the brush down in the canyon, at
the base of a steep slide, the dark
forms of numerous elk were seen. The
men estimated that it was at least
two miles from the open country and
that it would be almost impossible for
the elk to make such Roadway UP the
sides of the ravine, owing to the deep
drifts.
Lariats were now taken in hand and
made ready, and the three ski riders
began to examine the slope for
favorable place to take the slide. This
was an important matter, as if a tree
or some obstruction that could not be
leaped was struck. it would end the
hunt, so far as the ski man was con-
cerned.
The slope of the mountain was dot
ted with large pines about which the
snow was piled so that many looked
as though the tops were projecting
from the snow Some distance on they
came to a place where evidently early
in the winter there had been a slide.
and trees and brush had been carried
down in the rush, leaving a compare
lively smooth run which would bring
them directly in the path of the herd.
The edge was approached carefully,
then at the word the men sprang for
ward and went flying down the side OF
the mountain.
There was a ridge part way down
so that the elk could not see them I'M
til they had passed it, and it seemed
hardly a second before the riders
reached it, bounded into the air. COM
ing down gracefully and rushing on
like the wind itself, the snow-shoe
party witnessing the marvellous sight
from the ridge. The elk saw the mys-
FERROUS figures like birds rushing down
upon them and for a second stood
rigid with amazement, then rushed

sent for the best and most successful
ski riders for that purpose in the Mon
tana mountains. The men were trying
on their skis, rubbing on dope" sup
posed to make them swifter and in
crease the polish, and discussing the
prospects.
To the uninitiated skis or skees are
Norwegian snow shoes, looking not I'M
like fence rails, about ten feet long,
one and half inches thick and lit
tie wider than the shoe. The front end
is slightly turned up and in the center
or near it is a strap or other arrange
ment into which the foot lightly slips,
so that the ski can be thrown off In a
moment of danger. To the layman all
syi look alike, but there is, according
to experts, a great difference in their
respective merits. Some have never
been defeated; and the ownersv of 9TH
ers possess dope" that is supposed to
have secret and marvellous powers.
Finally the party was ready and the
start made, three men moving along
easily on the skis, and others on ordi-
nary snow-shoes. the former armed
with lariats-an important feature in
the hunt. Elk had been massing in a
canyon about two miles away several
days before. and since then there had
been heavy freeze, so that the noun
tains were piled deep with snow, over
which was a hard crust that cleaned
and glistened in the sunlight like
glass.
The little cavalcade moved away
slowly, the regular snow-men walking
clumsily along. while the ski riders
tried all the gullies with their wonder
full shoes. rushing down impossible
places and far up the other side with
incredible velocity.
The plan of the hunt was to steal
along the crests of the hills and noun
tains until a herd of elk was sighted
in the valley below. then, at the word,
start and slide down the mountain,
dash into the herd at full speed and
rope the elk with the lariat before they
could recover from their establishment
After travelling some distance the
hunters finally reached the ravine in
which the elks had been seen, and
carefully followed along the ledge,
which was lined with snow-covered
brush. They had gone nearly mile
when the leader suddenly stopped and
pointed ahead. Through an opening

ahead, some going up the opposite
slope, other plunging down the can
yon. On came the ski riders with a
rapidity that was incredible, as a, sin
gle false step would have sent them
Whirling headlong over the icy snow
The elk made desperate efforts to es-
cape, but before they could make any
Roadway one of the hunters dashed
into the herd, and whirling his reata
sent the rope over the long branching
horns and skillfully rounded himself
up by it, thus reaching the side of the
Infatuated animal, that half-buried in
the treacherous snow, struck at its
captor and endeavored to trample him
under feet. Another rider came whiz-
zing in to the herd almost simultane-
ously, and threw his reata over the
head of a doe, while the third, after
dashing down into the ravine and up
some distance on the other side re-
turned and successfully roped a fine
buck, which had been stalled in the
deep snow of the mountain side.
To describe the excitement and ap-
pearance of this rush of three or four
hundred feet down an icy mountain is
impossible and one does not wonder
that so few men are adapted to it. The
speed in some instances is probably
equal to a fast railroad train. OBJ
stacles have to be jumped, and if a
tree cannot be avoided the ski rider
must throw off the skis and aided by
his pole, if he has one, or by his skill,
try and avoid it. if the snow is
covered with ice the chances are that
he will go flying down the mountain
on his back. In short, the skis are
steeds that when doing their best are
runaway steeds, taking the riders at
frightful speed down the sides of the
mountains.
So successful have certain hunters
become in the Rockies and the Sierra
NeVadas of California that they have
wide reputation. Perhaps the only
herd of captive elk in this country
was captured in this way They be-
long to G. A. Bryant, of Columbia
Falls, Montana, who with c. Christian
sen, take all their elk on skis. The elk
are caught not to kill but to propagate
and it is believed that these fine ami
mails can be domestieated without any
difficulty. This is an important ex-
pertinent and may save the elk from
extinction,

Mule stalking the elk with rifles is
the method best known by sportsmen;
it is by no means the most venture
some or exciting; in fact, the ski elk
hunters of Montana, who take the an
imals alive, probably equal any class
of men in skill and daring. The win
ter in Montana coats the mount Tins,
valleys and plans with deep snow, and
the elks are mostly found in deep
valleys and canyons of the ranges,
where they are protected from the
wind and find ample heritage, and it is
when in this fanciful security that the
ski riders hunt them.
One cold morning in February a lit
tie party might have been seen pre-
pairing for an elk hunt IN front u d
typical mountain cabin. 1t has been
estimated that about one man in a
thousand will make a good elk hun
ter on the skis; hence the three men
who had gathered for the sport We're
objects of no ordinary interest.

sELEorarEN NOMINATIONS.


The most important offices in the
county, so far as the people are imme-
diately concerned, are those of select
men. The selectmen have control of
the finances of the county, and, since
Utah became a state, they have charge
of the elections. All this demands the
highest order of ability in the men who
shall be elected selectmen, that is, if
the best interests of the people are to
be served. Hence the action OF the
county convention of any party be-
comes a matter of much Importance
The Republican county convention
met yesterday and made its nomina-
lions for various offices, among them
those of selectmen. Mr.. Geddes and
Mr.. Christopherson, members of the
present county court, were renomin-
ated, the third nominee being Mr..
Perry Of Sandy. OF him we know
nothing; of the other two the people
know a great deal, but nothing favor
able. They are exactly the kind of men
who should not be in charge of the
county's affairs, and this their record
as selectmen proves. If they shall be
elected it means a continuation of the
present policy in the management of
county matters.
1t is to be regretted that these men
were renominated because they may
possibly be elected, and their lack of
capacity and business training wholly
units them for the office they now oc-
cupy and reelection to which they
seek. Every party owes it to the peo-
pie to place none but the best and
most capable men in nomination, but
this is not always DONE and no party
is always exempt from blame in this
respect. Certainly the Republican
party is not in the nomination of
Geddes and Christopherson. 1t would
have been a difficult matter to have
nominated two more incompetent men
for two of the most important offices
in the county.

AN UNLIKELY STORY.

Some time ago a statement was pub
lished to the effect that the American
admiral in the Mediterranean was
given authority to lombard the sui
tan's palace if rights of Americans
We're invaded in Armenia. The Lon
don Chronicle repeats the statement
on the highest authority" saying:
Last year it was resolved at Wash
ington that any further outbreak at
Constantinople, involving the massacre
I of Armenians, and just such a danger
to American citizens as exists now,
should be followed by forcible inter
vention. Orders were given to the
American admiral to punish such an
outrage by bombarding Yildiz Kiosk.
These orders were subsequently with
drawn when the dispute between En-
gland and America about Venezuela
came to head.
This puts the matter in form some
what different from that in which it
was first published. Tt is impossible
to believe that the Chronicle is correct,
but it is nevertheless interesting to re-
fleet that that paper has had very
good sources of information upon
American matters. 1t was the Chroni-
Gle that sent Henry Norman to this
country at the critical stage of the
Venezuelan dispute. In a recently pub
lished magazine article he stated that
he was placed in possession of state
secrets in Washington that could never
be divulged but which had a most
important bearing upon his work in
connection with the Venezuelan mat
ter. 1t is not impossible that he has
felt at liberty to give his paper an
intimation that some such order as
alleged had been given the American
admiral.
But the American people will not
readily accept the statement. A great
many would be secretly glad to know
that our government had resolved, if
occasion offered, to fire the shot that
would bring the Turkish question to a
head and put an end to Mussulman
outrages; but that would be such a
departure from our established policy
of non-intervention that few could
operly support it. American sentiment
respecting Turkish barbarities in Ar
menia found emphatic expression in
congress last winter, and it may yet
become necessary to do something
more vigorous in order to teach Europe
it's duty

THE COUNTY PLATFoRM.

That was an interesting discussion
that occurred in the Republican county
convention over the platform. The
plank reported by the committee, and
afterward adopted, pointed toward
support of the policy of refusing to
support any tariff bill until bimetallism
is restored.
OF course this did not suit the Nc
Kinley men and they rose up in arms
against it. Then the farce of attempt
ing to harmonic" was again enacted,
Mr.. Waite endeavoring to explain that
the resolution really did not mean so
very much after all.
Mrs. Brunker gave voice to the logic
of the situation when she told the dele
gates that paramount issues were
found in the Democratic platform, and
that, if they wanted paramount is
sues" they should vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. The statement was
somewhat more candid than is usual
in political conventions, and it had the
merit of being so sound in principle
that any man of the most commonplace
understanding can see and appreciate
the point.
