HUNTING WHITE SHEEP ON
THE HIGHEST PEAKS OF THE
ALASKAN MOUNTAINS.
By HARRY f. LEE.

Alaska is uneXcelled as Il hunting
ground for the sportsman who seeks a
variety of big game. But it is one of
the most difficult countries in which to
pursue the chase. Dangerous rivers, in
which rowing is ont of the question,
must be ascended, Indians pulling the
boats from the shore. The streams are
right from the glaciers, and for that
reason the waters are intensely cold.
The swamps and morasses of Alaska are
worse than any feature | ever en-
countered in the Rocky Mountains,
Florida or Canadian hunting grounds

Admiral Togo's Official Report.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Japanese
embassy received a report from Ad-
miral Togo under todays date saying:
Five of the six Russian battleships
which engaged the Japanese fleet Au-
gust 10. are believed to be seriously
damaged. The Pobiedas masts were
broken off and ner big guns ceased
working before the battle was over.
The Retzivan apparently suffered the
most. owing to our concentrated shells.
The firing at cruisers was from o.s-
tance of 800 yards and as result this
class of vessels was probably less ser
iously damaged than the Russian bat
tleships. The Russian cruier Bayan
did not emerge from Port Arthur.
The message adds that the Japanese
damages have already been temporar-
lily repaired.

WALLA WALLAN IN TROUBLE
EDWARD GREGORY UNDER AR
REST CHARGED WITH PASS
ING COUNTERFEIT MONEY.
Chinese Noodle Restaurant
Proprietor.

Edward Gregory of Walla Walla is
under arrest at Pendleton on a charge
of passing counterfeit money. He was
arrested at Arlington and taken back
to Pendleton.
The offense was alleged to have been
committed in PendletOn Thursday
night and the victim was a Chinese
cook in a noodle joint.
From the description furnished the
police and sheriff's office by the China
man. suspicion was directed toward
Gregory and when search was insti-
tuted for him. it was discovered that he
had taken the II o'clock train, west
bound. Sheriff Taylor Immediately
wired peace officers between that city
and Portland to watch for Gregory, and
the man was taken when he alighted
from the train at Arlington.
Gregory is said to have entered
Goeys joint and after partaking of a
bowl of noodles handed the cook and
waiter a bogus $40 bill. The Chinaman
gave the man $500 in change. When
the proprietor of the place returned
he discovered that the currency was
not genuine and reported the matter to
the police.
Gregorys home is near Walla Walla
and he was born and reared in Walla
Walla. He has followed the avOcatiOn
of waiter and horse jockey for many
years. He went to PendletOn several
weeks ago where he mas been employ
ed as bartender and waiter.
