HUNTING BIG GAME IN LUXURY
Train De Luxe Takes You Into Heart
of Africa.

A visit to South and Central Africa
will show why great game has been
thinned out so alarmingly that ele-
phant and giraffe are now rarely seen
south of the Zambesi. 1t is mainly
due to a dozen marvels Of railroad en-
terprise that are being pushed in or
der that Cecil Rhodes's dream Of 5000
miles of track between Cape Town
and Cairo should be realized.
One may now enter a train Of pal
ace cars at Cape Town and travel
1000 miles to the great Zambesi river
that divides the Dark Continent in
two. Not even the mighty falls stay
the transcontinental road. 1t is car
ried across the gorge 400 feet deep by
a steel bridge, and little beyond the
traveller is amazed to find the magnif-
icent five storied Grand hotel, with a
hundred bed rooms, electric lights and
elevators and fans dumped down amid
savage scenery. From the windows
of this strangest of hotels one may
shoot rhinoceros and giraffe, lion and
leopard and hippo, not to mention
twenty different kinds of antelope.
from the immense kudu down to the
little hartebeest and impala.
1t is the famous and costly big
Game Limited" that whirls one into
the savage heart Of Africa. Little
more than fifteen years ago the 750,-
600 square miles of Rhodesia had not
q mile of railroad. Then came the ia
tai cattle plague known as the rinder-
pest, which denuded the country Of
even the most primitive means of
transport, and on top Of this the Mat
abele rebellion of 1896, which result
ed in terrible slaughter of the whites.
These two causes led to great ac-
tivity of railroad building in the vast
territory to which Cecil Rhodes gave
his name, and the last 22S miles, from
Palapye to Buluwayo, were laid in the
incredibly short space of four and a
half months. Then it was that old
coaching days In this part of Africa
passed away forever.
1t is not until Buluwayo is reached
that even the larger antelopes are seen
from the car windows. Within a few
miles of this boom town of the veldt
are the wild, rocky Matoppo Hills,
where eleven years ago Cecil Rhodes
went unarmed and almost alone to
talk over the Matabele savages to
peace. Here, too, imbedded in the

A FISH SToRY.-Brown had returned
from a fishing expedition. and after
partaking of a most welcome dinner
was relating some of his fishing expe-
riences.
Last year." he said, "while fishing
for pike l dropped half a sovereign. l
went to the same place this year, and
after my line had been cast few min
utes l felt terrific pull. Eventually
l landed a fine pike which had swai-
lowed the hook. and cutting it open to
release the hook to my amazement"-
"Ah," said his friends, you found
a half lf-sovereign?"
"Oh, no." replied Brown. Il found
nine shillings, sixpence in silver ana
threepense in copper"
We'll what became of the other
threepence?" queried his friends.
Il suppose the pike paid to go
through the lock with it," said Brown

WHAT NEXT?-Everybody knows
one or more Of those conscientious ego
lists who cannot rid themselves of the
idea that no one can be trusted to car
ry out the simplest details Of routine
work without their personal super
vision.
1t was one of these men who sailed
for England, leaving in his brothers
care a parrot Of which he was very
fond. All the way across the Atlantic
he worried about the bird, and no
sooner had he landed at Southampton
than he rushed over this cablegram to
his brother:
BE sure and feed parrot"
And the brother cabled back:
Have fed him, but he's hungry
again. What shall I do neXt?"-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

Very Pleasant.

The known wit Of London om-
nibus drivers at times approaches the
extremely personal. as witness the fol-
lowing:
A little while ago gentleman rid
ing along Cheapside was suddenly In
terested to see his driver hurriedly
tumble in his pocket at the approach
in the opposite direction Of rival om-
nibus, and drawing forth a piece of
string to dangle 1t with taunting
playfulness at the other driver.
The latter, however. ignoring the
overtures. drove steadily on, with a
stolid indifference that evidently dis
appointed the performer.
Turning to the gentleman by his
side, who had watched the event with
curiosity, the latter jerked his thumb
disdainfully after the disappearing
driver
He amt got no sense o humor,
guv'nor." he declared, contemptuously.
Raising the string he again dangled 1t
derisively His brother was hung last
Monday" he explained.-Tit-B Bits.

WAS O. A. c. STUDENT.
The Portland ..Pink Domino" Burglar
Stopped School in February.

The Pink Domino" burglar,
now in jail in Portland, was lately
a student at OAC. He came the
first of November and left on ac-
count of sickness February 5th.
During the time, he was very
good student, and his behavior so
far as known, was as correct as
that of the average. He was as good
or, better than the average in men
tality, and showed disposition to
excel. He was expected to return
to college when he went away, but
instead seems, after the recovery
to have invaded Portland and gone
into the burglary business, at
which he has achieved sudden and
unenviable notoriety. He is prob
ably booked for the penitentiary,
though it is not likely that he is
guilty of half the crimes laid at his
door. .F@- .
The boys name is E. A. Lane.
He has given the name of Davis
and other aliases, He registered
as 1o years of age, and was OF
strong athletic build He lived at
Cathorn Hall, AID his conduct
there, according to Mr.. Whitehead,
was above reproach. Only a single
case of theft occurred In the Hall
during the time Lane was there,
but even now it is not charged to
his account. He was orderly in his
behavior at the place and his whole
conduct acceptable to the head of
the hall. xzev
| When he came to college he
frankly explained that he had been
in the reform school. but said that
he had wearied of evil ways and in
tended to do better. President
Catch took him at his word and
Lane was admitted to the courses.
1t is the belief of his Instructors
that during his stay in the institu-
ton he made strong effort to
make man of himself, and to for
sake those ways that are dark and
| tricks that are vain.
He was arrested in Portland
Tuesday night with evidences of
guilt all around. He stoutly de-
MES that be was the man who bur.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APR. 10, 1907
BILLY MKES7iGA TOR.

Corvallis people will read with
a flush of pridethe report of the
water commission in another col
umn. In round numbers the water
receipts for January were 1861, for
February, $663 and for March,
$67o, making a total water reven-
ue for the quarter of $2oo1. SIS. Ad-
dcd to these are tapping fees, $151,
IS and miscellaneous, $1.7o, which
with the balance on hand January
1st, makes total assets of $2,o5o,-
78. The expenditures for the three
months was labor and salary,
$336.s5, materials. $1e4,79, freight
and drayage, S71.7o and sundries,
$500, total, S659.54. The bal.
ance on hand is, S2.29r.25. The
interest for the period is, $e37.5o.
The figures confirm what was al
ready known, that the Mountain
Water system is sound and sta
BILE financial investment. It's fiscal
success is already demonstrated.
The revenue is larger than the
original few who urged the enter
prise ever dreamed it would be.
That under a wise and economical
management it will eventually come
to be the best investment from a
standpoint of mere finance that
Corvallis ever made, is assured.
That from the standpoint of health
and as an influence for the growth
of the municipality it is of Infinite
value, nobody now denies.
These pleasant reflections recall
the attitude of those who fought
the enterprise and strove to defeat
it. The opposition freely predicted
bankruptcy, but instead of bank
ruptcy, there is a handsome bal
ance on the ledger. available for
needed extensions. When the time
for payment of interest comes, there
will be plenty of money for the pur-
pose. When the period for Great
ing sinking fund arrives, there
will be abundant means therefor.
In the meantime, the town has as
good water as has any town in the
world. No town has better, be.
cause chemical and archaeological
tests have determined that there is
no better water. The TIMES which
begun the agitation for this water
and fought the good fight for it,
congratulates the good people OF
Corvallis and bespeaks a lasting
rest and peace to the bones and
soul of Little Billy Investigator.

COMPLAINING AT MAIL SERVICE.
Trains Never on Time -Vexatious De-
lays to Business-Rural Mails "a
Hours Late.

There is great deal Of complaint
about town on account of the mail
service. The particular point of
attack is in the arrival of the trains.
1t is said that scarcely mail train
coming into Corvallis manages to
arrive on, time on an average of
once. a week. The WestsideT pas
senger is always from 20 minutes
to an hour late. It in turn delays
the eastbound c. & E. trainsat the
crossing, and that in turn brings
it westbound into Corvallis from
20 minutes to an hour late. It
should have arrived at 1:3o but
yesterday for instance, got it at
2:3o. The c. & E. is likewise
held at Albany by the failure of
the Cottage Grove local to arrive
on time. A general system of de-
layed trains is the rule, and with
it is the attendant delayed mails,
and the disappointment and delay
of correspondence incident thereto.
1t interrupts the prompt dispatch
of business with other localities. It
hampers and demoralizes the post
Office. 1t keeps everything out of
gear with the result that there is a
very tired feeling all over town,
One Of the worst of all the features
is the most of the time mail for the
rural free delivery routes goes out
of Corvallis "a hours late because
the carriers in order to make their
schedule are compelled to leave
town before the arrival of the trains
with which their schedule is sup
posed to connect.
One feature in the mixupi is that
eastern letters arrive in the morn
ing and very frequently eastern pa
pers that ought to come with them
are not received until the afternoon
For the latter, It is understood there
is no legitimate excuse. If the let
tiers come, it is said the papers
should come with equal promptness
and regularity. The whole propo-
sition is much condemned. It
threatens to drive the postmaster
to drink. 1t is extremely annoy
ing to the public, which patiently
wonders if the authorities cannot
correct the trouble.
