powers OF dangerous trades, are some
OF the advantages claimed for the
workman's compensation act. which
will become effective in Washington
on the first day OF next October.
The theory OF the act, which was
adopted by the last legislature, is
stated in these words:
THE welfare of the state depends
on It's industries and even more upon
the welfare Of its wage earners."
All factories, mills and workshops
where machinery is used, come un-
der the act, as also do foundries,
quarries, mines. smelters, powder
works, breweries, elevators, docks,
dredges, laundries, printing, engineer.
ing, logging numbering, ship building.

One hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars has been appropriated by the
state to bear the expense of admins

appointed commission to have full
charge of the industrial insurance

miums and the adjustment and set

has power to create new classes and
establish new rates. Howard L.
Hindley of Spokane, is secretary, with
headquarters at Olympia.
The law provides that each in dus-
try in the state shall contribute a GER
tain percentage of it's pay roll to an
accident fund. from which various
sums are paid out for total or part dis
ability or on death to the family and
dependents of the injured workman,

ing borne by the state. Injured work
men, their families or dependents
cannot recover by law except where
the injury is caused by the intent of
the employer. in which case the work
man or his family may recover not
only the sums due under this act, but
also may sue for any excess of dam
age over those amounts.
Where workman Is injured be-
cause the employer has neglected to
observe the safeguards required by
law or by the regulations OF the de-
partment. the employer must pay so
per cent more than the fixed amounts.
Where the workman Intentionally in.
jures himself he receives no benefit.
The industries of the state are class
flied and certain premiums fixed for
each class. The employers are re-
quired to pay three months pre-
miums into the state treasury on or
before October /. 1911. After De-
cember 81, monthly payments are re-
quired; provided however, that IL any
industry has a sufficient amount on
deposit with the state to take care of
its accidents no further payments
shall be required.

v. BUCKLEY, KING
HUNTERS; OFF AGAIN
Elephant Hunting Is Finest
in WOrld-Killed 8 in
Thirty Minutes.

London, June 24.-There was al
great gathering Of big game hunters
at the reception room of the Ugunda
railway offices IN the Haymarket to
say good-by to w. Buckley, who has
left for another elephant hunting ex-
petition in central Africa.
In the world of big game hunters
Mr.. Buckley is readily acknowledged
to be king. Already five hundred ell
ephants have fallen to his rifle, which
is the record for the world.
Mr.. Buckley is a typical hunter
hard and wiry, with keen eyes and the
ries his life in his hands in the wild
countries of the world.
Il have had a good five menth's
holiday in England, and l leave for
Antwerp to join the steamship Leoold-
vile for Natadi, on the Congo river.
From there l set off on a journey
across Africa to Mombasa. l shall
have from seventy to one hundred
bearers to carry my ammunition and
hop boxes which are already pack.
ed and on the way. I estimate the
journey will occupy me for twelve
months.
Finest Sport in the World.
"As for the elephant shooting, we'll.
all hunters admit that it is the finest
sport in the world. When the news
comes that there are elephants about
the whole neighborhood is seething
with excitement. The natives go fran
tic, and everything is forgotten except
the elephants.
when l went out to shoot my first
elephant on the banks of the Nile, the
natives rushed me off as if I had to
catch bus at the end of the street
We marched for four hours before we
came upon the herd. 1 was a begin
ner then, and was a long time bring
ing down my first elephant.
There are three curious things
about the elephant.
Il. Although he is the biggest ami
NAL in the world. he is the hardest to
see, for he is the same color of the
forest
"2. For all his vast area; there is
little more than square foot of him
that is vulnerable to a bullet.
"3. All elephants are left handed
as is proved by the fact that the left
tusk is always shorter, being worn
away with work.
$4,000 Worth Of Ivory in 80 Minutes
my biggest bag Of elephants in one
day was ten. but. the most profitable
was a day when shot eight, and their
tusks weighed sixty-six pounds. It
took me half an hour to shoot them,
and the ivory was worth $4,000. OF
course it was an exceptionally big day
THE tusks of the biggest elephant
weighed 2S2 pounds-the right tusk
lat pounds and the left 1875 pounds.
Ivory varies in price from 81 pound
to So, the latter price being for the
hard brittle ivory of the forest ele-
plants.
The price depends. too. on the sex
