HILL HAS A PLAN
TO HELP MONTANA
Building to Benefit State Erected at st.
Paul at Cost Of Slo,0oo.

James J. Hill, the empire builder,
has just carried out personal plan
for the exploitation of Montana re-
sources and products, and has COM
pleted in st. Paul a building ut a cost
OF SlO,OOO that will be devoted ex-
clusively to those purposes. The
building, which was finished last week,
is on Sibley street, directly in front
of the union station in st. Paul. 1t
has 1900 feet of floor space, and aside
from branch ticket office there will
be nothing in the building but ex-
hibits OF Montana products, chiefly
grains, fruits, etc. 4 man will be in
charge Of each department and will
be on hand constantly to explain the
exhibits and furnish information
about Montana, it's climate, agricult-
ural possibilities, and all other sub
jects about which there may be in
qniries. Large electric signs will
attract thousands Of people that pass
the place every day.
/, All sorts Of Montana advertising
matter, in the way Of literature, will
be kept OH hand for distribution to
emigrants and other visitors. The
expense of maintaining the building,
renewing the exhibits, ETC., which
will amount to 4 considerable sum
yearly, will be borne by the Great
Northern. While the scheme has
been personal and pet one with j.
j. Hill, who is a firm believer in the
future greatness of Montana, it was
carried out under the direction Of
l.. w. Hill, president of the Great
Northern.
Large maps of different parts Of
Montana have been printed and will
be placed in the Montana building.
The latter is so situated that it will
attract attention from travellers, and
there are two entrances to it, one
from Sibley street and the other from
the union depot.
In connection with the work of the
Great Northern in advertising Mon
tana and bringing settlers to the state.
! it is stated that the company has been
instrumental, in the past two years,
in settling up 26 townships in North
eastern Montana, around CulbertsOn.

We had shot or two at the sound,
and the beasts, whatever. they were,
went away. AS at that time we knew
nothing about lions, we were not
quite sure that they were not hyenas
after all; but Abdullah stuck to it
they were lions, so we got our beds
and lay down one on each side of the
opening, just behind the fence to
watch, hoping that the brutes would
come back. Nothing further happened,
however. At daybreak we sailed out
to see If by any chance we had man
aged to hit lion, but we only found
two or three dead hyenas. One of
these brutes had been partly eaten;
we thought at the time by other n.y.
enas, as it was still too dark to make
out tracks. We came to the conclu-
sion we had made idiots of ourselves,
and had been shooting all night at
hyenas, and we did not feel any the
better when our friends came back
from their night at the village and
told us we had probably frightened
every lion out of the country by our
bOm bardment

two different methods of hunting lions.
One of them could hardly be called
a method at all, as it depended on
news brought in by natives as to
where a lion had actually been seen.
The second plan consisted of tying
up donkey for a bait, and sitting up
to watch at night. A much more in
teresting way of hunting lions than
either of these and a very success
full one If the native shikaries en-
ployed are any good, is this process
of tracking them. A lion lies up in
some cool, shady place for the day,
unless the sky is overcast and the
sun cannot get out, when he will oc-
casionally be found hunting at any
hour If you can strike his spoor of
the night before there is a very good
chance of following it up to where
the lion lies, should the ground be
suitable. There is no form of hunt
ing so exciting as this. When the
spoor is found there is generally
nothing to show if you have struck
it early or late in the lions wander
ings, so that it is quite a chance
whether it leads you for hours over all
sorts of country, or whether, after half
a mile down on a sandy river bed or
path, it turns off into a thick patch
of reeds or bush close by, where the
lion is lying. 1t is extraordinary how
the excitement grows as time goes on,
and still you keep the track some
times very slowly, where only now
and then part OF footprint can be
seen on a soft place between the
stones, at other times as fast as you
can walk over soil where the track
is visible many yards ahead. And
when the spoor is lost and minute
after minute goes by while you cast
about vainly in every direction, how
wretched you are, and how quickly
your spirits rise again when a low
whistle or swapping of the fingers an
nounces that one of the crackers has
hit it off further on!
At last certain signs show that you
are getting near the end; the crackers
take off their sandals and tuck up
their loin-cloths under their belts, lest
a corner Tapping in the wind should
scare the lion. For the first time you
take your rifle from the native who
has had charge of it, and, with your
head shikari carrying a second rifle,

point one could easily command the
whole of it. The lion was almost GER
tain to break out of one of the sides
towards the bush on the banks of the
river-bed, in which case | should get
an easy broadside shot. If we fol-
lowed the track into the place, the
noise we were sure to make would be
very likely to get the beast on his
legs, and he would sneak out at one
side as we went in at the other, es-
pecially as the water had left lot of
dead sticks along the edges, over
which it would be impossible to walk
quietly. Abdullah also said that from
the way he had wandered about this
lion must be very hungry, and would
sleep lightly. These considerations
decided us to drive. l posted myself
with Abdullah few yards out from
the point, and the other two men, hav-
ing collected some stones, began throw
ing them in at the far end. Abdullah
was right about this lion sleeping
lightly; for at the first stone there
was a grow1 and crash in the bushes
and then, for "a minute or two, not a
sound. The men started to walk down,
one on each side, shooting and throw
ing in stones. | was watching them, and
wondering what had happened to the
lion, when there was faint cracking
iust in front of us, and he appeared at
the point of the island. Although We
were standing within few yards of
him, and absolutely in the open, he
did not see us.
He was facing straight towards us,
and was so close that | did not like
to fire at him as, on receiving the bull
let, he would be very likely to plunge
in the direction he was going and be
into us: nor did / want him to come
any closer; so, as he stepped down on
to the sand, moved my rifle up
towards my shoulder to attract his at
tention. He saw the movement at
once, stopped dead, and turned his
head sharply towards us. For the
fraction of a second thought he was
going to be startled into charging,
but he plunged off to the left with an
angry snarl at us over his shoulder.
AS he passed l pulled, and he skated
along on his stomach and fell down a
little ledge in the sand. This Slowed
him round and he lay facing US,
spread -eagled on the sand, evidently

to follow it. At that time none of us
knew much about tracking, and we
had had such bad luck after the ele-
plants that we did not think much
of our shikaries, and l did not think
it was much good, Abdullah persuaded
me and I went. After we mad followed
the track for some distance I quite
caught his enthusiasm, and when the
single track was joined by three 9TH
ers, l was divided between delight at
the prospect of having four lions all
to myself and the thought that per-
haps 1 had more on my hands than
could manage alone.
After a track of about an hour we
came in sight of two or three big
thickets of ''irgin" bushes surrounded
by open mimosa scrub ana intersected
by narrow paths. My second shikari
at that time was a very tall fellow,
called jana, with enormous feet. Sew
eral times during the track Abdullah
had turned round to pitch into him for
making such noise, and now he con-
fided to me that "Jama walk all same

him behind here with the pony and
boy, as the lions were sure to be in
the place in front of us. Knowing
nothing about it, agreed and went
on with Abdullah. We were walking
quietly along the outside Of one of the
thickets when Abdullah suddenly
clutched me by the arm and pointed
towards a tree standing on the edge
of the bush yards off. The tree was
divided into two towards the bottom,
and the sun was throwing the shadow
of a bush on the ground inside the
hollow.
This was where Abdullah was point
ing, getting more excited but / could
make out nothing at all, until great
yellow beast moved suddenly out of
the shadow and slipped away on the
far side. 1 fired from the hip, letting
off both barrels into the tree We
rushed round to the other side of the
thicket just in time to see a fine
lioness come out 1 could not get a
clear shot at once, and when 1 did,
after running some distance, l was
shaking so that 1 could not get on her
at all, and missed. She kept Iobbing
along just ahead, every now and then
stopping to look around and show her
teeth at us. Each time she stopped

hill again; but here, VOC, we were dis
appointed, and gravitated back to
where we had first lost the spoor. We
knew that the lion had not gone
straight on, nor had he turned back;
he must have gone along the top of
the ridge and then crossed into other
stony hills where is was hopeless to
try to track him.
Abdullah, who is never defeated,
said there was big river-bed further
on in the direction in which the lion
was going. 1t seemed very slender
chance, as he might have turned off
anywhere in between, but it was the
only one, so off we went. We were
evidently in luck that day, for we had
only gone about quarter of mile
when we struck the spoor. The lion
seemed now to have made up his
mind as to his direction, for he kept
on straight down the middle of the
river-bed. The sun had come out from
behind the clouds, and in places the
sand was very deep, so that we were
not sorry when at last the track led
into a little island of bush in the
great fiat sand. There was no doubt
the lion was at home, for on casting
round no sign was perceptible of a
track coming out. The island, raised
little above the river-bed, was
formed of mass of thick-tangled
bush and creepers clustered round a
few big trees. The water coming down
the river after heavy rain had washed
it roughly into the form of a triangle,
river. From this point the sides
widened out to the other end, which
was about thirty yards broad, the
whole length being somewhat under
a hundred yards.

more closely they would discover that
it was a defenseless caterpillar, capa-
BILE only of wriggling when attacked.
The caterpillar of the common moth
is another master of The art of bluff.
When born it looks like tiny scorpion,
and no respectable spider or ichneu-
mon attempts to attack it. AS it grows
bigger it develops violet saddle down
its back and a decoration round its
face something life a monks cowl.
Out of its tail proceeds two long horns.
When approached By an enemy or
touched by human hands it instantly
