MICHIGAN Elk FARM
FINE HERD OF ANIMALS on
TRACT IN cAss COUNTY.
eonine Place, Established by an Old
Settler, Is Partly Given Over to
Pro- .oIe Raising of the
Queer Pets.

Niles, Mich.-It Is a rare sight to
see a herd of elk with their young at
their sides on farm these days, but
such thing is viewed annually by
hundreds of people in the Bonnie
park, on the famous BONNIE farm,
near Vadalia, Penn township, Cass
county This, the only elk farm in
Michigan, and one of the few in the
United States, consists Of 1900 acres,
and is owned by Mrs. James q. Bonine
of this city and her three children
Isaac A. Bonnie and Mrs. w. T. Dou-
gan of this place and Mrs. e. B.
Hammond of Sheldon, N. D.
James e. Bonine settled in Penn
township in 1S4S, whittier he went
penniless. his father having lost his
fortune in Wayne county, Indiana, as
a result Of the failure of the Richmond
bank. Penn township was then an al
most unbroken forest.
Mr. Bonnie lived a life of great
activity and became the owner of
1900 acres of land, a portion Of which
was prairie, while 800 acres he
cleared. He became the leading bank.
er of Cass county, and his widow is
now the largest stakeholder of the
First National bank of Cassopolis. He
died in Niles in 1898 at the age OF 80
years. His widow is now 50 years of
age and is remarkably we'll preserved.
Upon this land Mr.. BONNIE estab.
lished in 1852 what is known as b.
nj III ffv,o 90 1ok
acres, which he stocked with buffalo
and elk. This tract is still kept up,
and although there are no buffalo
there are still large number Of elk.
Isaac Bonine states that they dis
continued raising buffaloes because
the animals, which in the wild state
migrate to the south in the fall, did
not do well here except in summer,
whereas the elk are even harder
than cattle and never seek any shelter
from the elements, sleeping dry and
warm in the snow in winter, whereas
cattle would melt through. He says
the hollow hair of the elk prevents
the heat of the body passing out and
the cold from entering.
Mi. Bonlne says tnat the raising OIL
elk has proved very profitable; that
they have sold them for public and
private parks all over the country, in.

he placed some of the elk in 1882;
Detroit and Grand Rapids, where
some were placed in the parks at the
Soldiers home. The elk bring 500 at
any age after six months.

In western Iowa. Several years ago
seven head were sold to King En-.

Fierce FLOOD GRIPS
The pacific coast
RIVERS BECOME TORRENTS in
THE EXTREME NORTHWEST
REGION.
CONDITIONS DECLARED
WORST IN MANY YEARS
Bridges Washed out-RaIlroad Tracks
Under Water-Walla WalIa, WASH,
Reports That Gas Works Are
Closed Down Because Of Water.

Portland, Ore, Mar 17.-Not in
many year have SO many points in
the Pacific northwest all at the same
time faced such serious damage from
flood as they did Monday night.
From last Friday until now heavy
rains have fallen over the whole of
the northwest and every rivulet is a
roaring torrent and every river
lake. Bridges have been washed
out or dynamited. Railroad tracks
are under water, and when traffic Is
not delayed by these disasters huge
landslides block the way.
The most serious reports come from
Walla Walla Mill creek, which flows
through that city, nearly every winter
goes on a rampage, but at present it
is outdoing previous records and has
caused wholesale destruction Of bust
ness In general and destroyed several
houses.
Climax Is Near.
Next in point of seriousness is the
situation at Pendleton. Although the
levees built after last years floods are
still holding, there is fear that they
are becoming undermined. In this
case the town will suffer serious dam
age. In the Lewiston (Idaho) coun-
try, railroad tracks are reported under
water, bridges washed out and fears
are entertained that the waterworks
which supply that city will be flooded
and the supply of drinking water shut
OF. Many families have been driven
from the lowlands. The Touchet and
Patti rivers have washed out the city
dikes at Dayton, Wash. In western
Washington the rivers around Seattle
and Tacoma are still rising, but little
damage, fortunately, has resulted so
far
River Becomes Torrent.
The Willamette river and it's tribu-
taries are running like a mill race
above Salem, but no damage has re-
suited. AS is usual during the flood
conditions, the railroads are numbered
among the principal sufferers. The
worst of these is the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation-Union Pacific system
which has not been able to send a

This road is blocked principally by
heavy landslides east and west of Pen

hood Of Walla Walla and from Lewis
ton north is at standstill.
WaIla WalIa Conditions Serious.
Walla Walla, March 17.-Not for
years has this city faced so serious a
condition as it did Monday night
from the floods which have come down
from the Blue mountains and have
made Mill creek roaring torrent. So
far as can be learned the following
is the resume of one days damage:
The Fourth street bridge has been
washed out; part of the Third street
bridge has been blasted out; the gas
works have been flooded and closed
down; Main street from above Sixth
street to the O. r. & N. passenger
depot is reported to be under water.
In the business district the water is
rapidly filing easements. Outside of
the city, as within, food conditions are
apparent in all parts of the Walla
Walla valley.
