 } ELK CALVES

HOQUIAM, Wash, Aug. 1.-Two Hoquiam men, Frank Briggs and Ben Northrup recently on foot ran down a herd of elk in the Olympic Penin- sula wilds northeast of here, and captured three elk calves for ship ment to the Chelan National Park in Eastern Washington.
 A cougar joined the men in the chase of the herd. but the hunters were unarmed and unable, to their sorrow, to shoot this animal
 Theret are a great many elk in the Olympic country and the hunters, when they started, soon found a mother elk and her babes. The bucks at this time are away from the herds and high in the mountains. The men followed the herd until the calves became exhausted and hid them selves in the underbrush to avoid detection. Three calves were cap tured and brought here.

"The story as taken from the New York Record o1d printed in The Empire late last week, however, is true statement of the activities of the company and of it's future plans" he continued.
 ''i}usiness conditions all through tne country, both East and West, are rather bad and the money market is tight. We were able, however, to secui e considerable financial backing for tutue development work at Fun ter Bay and my trip was in every way a successful one" he concluded.
 Although at the present time there is a great financial and business de- prcSsion throughout the United States, according to Mir. Pekovich, there is feeling of optimism pre- ya;!ing over the outlook and many big business men claim that one of the largest booms in the history of the Dation is due about September 1. This is true in particular i'll the mining business, according to Mr PekoviCh. He claims that all kinis of mining will receive a new stimu- lts at about that time.
