ABOUT BIG GAME IN
THE AFRICAN JUNGLES

"safari" party with one Of his terrible
charges. The "rhino" is very near
sighted, but is possessed with a re-
markable sense of smell and acute
hearing; in fact, his attack is entirely
guided by these senses. Seeming dan
ger from afar, the infuriated animal
charges in a straight line, trampling
| down underbrush and small trees in
his path as if he were making a trail
through nothing more than a flower
garden. Caught in the whirlwind rush.
! native hunters sometimes stand still,
| hoping the animal will mistake them
FOR tree and pass on, which the beast
not infrequently does. The charging
animal can only be halted with a well
directed bullet through the eye or
heart
1t is expected thai the American
party will make every effort to bag
the much discussed white rhinoceros,
which has been killed off from his
original range in British East Africa
Besides 'rhinos," buffalos and other
large animals, the hunting game in
cludes giraffes, leopards. zebras and
antelopes. The antelopes of Africa
are most interesting from a hunts
mans standpoint, as they are extreme
ly difficult to shoot. Very shy and
quick, it requires an unerring aim to
bring them down. and only the best
shots are successful.
In this rare hunting ground the
American party will find three species
OF the hartebeest, the oryx, the sable
antelope, the roam antelope, the oribi
the lesser reed buck the water buck
the steinbuck, the Gland. the greater
and lesser kudu, the gnu and the bush
buck. All these various species of
antelope have keenly developed es-
Gaping faculties. Wart hogs. tackals
hyenas, together with a host of cranes.
Dustards and other feathered varieties
all help swell the population of the
animal kingdom in this region.
No hunters can ever be said to have
enjoyed all the experiences of the
African jungle without an adventure
with wild dogs, which roam in packs
and are the dread of the natives The
cry OF these animals is not unlike that
OF leopards or smaller game and once
heard the natives fly to the tons of
trees. These mongrel dogs have low
Dodies' covered with thick, bushy hair.
A hunter wounding a wild dog must
according to the ethics of the chase,
pursue and kill the wounded canine.

ROAD NEARING COMPLETION
Dallas and Salem will Be Connected
BY Rail Within Next Two
Months.

Those inclined to prophecy might
safely predict that the new branch OF
the Salem, Falls City & Western rail-
road, running from Dallas to Salem,
will be completed. as far as the actual
work of track laying is concerned. Dy
the middle of August
The work of laying the steel was
begun only about month ago ana
has not been carried on continuously
since that time, the crew having been
taken back to Black Rock for several
DAYS to tend to some urgent work
eouired at that end of the line. Never
theless the track has already been
pushed forward as far as the Pierce
Riggs place. about 9 miles out from
Dallas.
A crew of 81 men are employed and
the track is being advanced at a rate
of about mile day. BY July ~
track will be run into the gravel pit,
, recently purchased by the company
near the Traglio place and the work.
, men will begin to bring out carloads
, of gravel ballasting for the newly laid
road.
Grading on the roadbed is practi-
+ cally finished, having been carried
1 I'D to within two miles OF the salem
/, terminal of the new road. The little
r distance that remains to be graded
y will easily be finished by the fret
4 week of July. The bridgework IS
9 already completed, amounting, in ALL
to about quarter Of mile, the most
l. i'm portan nt and difficult bridge being
n across the Rickreall at the L. W.
v Brunk place near Eola. The heaviest
h cuts and fills have been made near
# Eola, where the country is rather
,e rough and hilly. Between Eola and
" Dallas the greater portion of the land
ID through which the road runs is quite
SO level and the grading work was very
IS. easily and rapidly completed.
Id Although it is safe to predict tina
~ the track laying will have been com
IN pleted by the middle of August, 1t vii
CO probably be at least month longe
zy before everything is ready for tn
lis commencement of regular freigh
OF and passenger traffic.
lis For the passenger service, 1t is tn
ly. purpose of the company to secure
ret flne high-power gasoline motor car Q

RECEIVES ODD LETTER

Seventh Man to Investigate
Peculiar Inquiry.

County Clerk E. M. Smith received
from the clerk of Benton
county, letter OF inquiry which has
aroused considerable interest IN differ
ent parts of this state since March IL,
when 1t first came into the state.
1t was sent by Mrs. Phillip Hollings-
head, OF South River, Ontario, Canada,
and was somewhat vaguely addressed
to the Register OF Oregon" Twenty
seven accommodating county clerks
in Oregon had already searched their
records in vain for the Information
desired by the author of the letter,
before it fell into Mr.. Smiths hands
Saturday.
The Polk county records are as
devoid of the information sought as
have been the archives Of the ~ other
county courthouses which the letter
has thusfar visited, and it will be sent
on from here to the clerk Of Yanhill
county in hopes that he may be able
to find the answer sought. The text OF
the letter is as follows:
