MRS. AKELEY TO START SATURDAY
 FOR CAMERA HUNT IN DARK AFRICA

Natural History, Mrs, Akeley today told an Associated Press representa- tive something of her adventurous life.
 Tn 1914-19lS I made my first trip on my own, with young Eng fish woman and two guides. We hacked our way through Devils clubs" and cedars up the mountain which tho American Geographical society named from my map, Mount Sir Alexander" after the pioneer Sir Alexander McKensie. We also saw la the distance my mountain, al- though 1t was not named for me un- Ill mounth ago. It Is nice mountain, very rugged and heauu- ful," she smiled.
 Two years later returned to this same region I had mapped out to study 1t under winter conditions, This involved the crossing Of eight high snow masses In the depth of winter snow. I remember we once went Is days through driving blizzard---we had to go forward be- cause we couldn't go back over the sleeper, higher passes we had de- seconded The thermometer stood between 55 and 65 below zero, but I had planned clothing and equip. ment well. and we were quite com fortable."

road company declines to do any
thing for the community in the way
Of providing it with suitable and
greatly needed depot accommodations.
The shippers, however, recently
constructed a stock corral at their
own expense and the company second
ed their motion by putting in a cattle
chute. Now the people need a passen-
ger and freight depot, and it seems
to as they ought to have it without
much further delay.
The Willow Creek settlement is one
Of the oldest and most thrifty agri-
cultural and s~tcck-raising commune

ulatiOn Of at least 200 persons, who
now depend almost entirely upon the
railroad for transportation, not only
for their surplus cattle, horses and
farm products, but for all the ma
chinery and merchandise they need
for use on their farms and for home
consumption.
It certainly looks as though it
would be for the best interests Of the
railroad company to furnish this
thrifty and enterprising community
with proper depot and station facii'
ties, no less than i would be for the
comfort and accommodation of The
settlers themselves.

piled it was found thai its annual
payments, amounting to about $780,
100000, are apportioned approximate
ly as follows:
How Total Distributed
Seventy per cent Of the total, or
$4,000, 900, goes directly to the wild
oVrs Of members; 20 per cent, or $4,-
100000, to their descendants, children
and grandchildren, and 10 per cent, or
100000 to others, practically all
blood relatives and including fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters, etc, One
out of every six descendants sharing
the proceeds is a minor.
Number Of claims paid in Novem-
Der was 981 and the total amount dis
bursed was $1,680,656. There were
718 widows, receiving S1,1S3,864; 5S4
children and grandchildren, receiving
$685., A47, and 173 other beneficiaries,
receiving $161,344. The number Of
beneficiaries exceeded the number Of
death claims in the ratio Of one and
One-half to one.
Number Of Beneficiaries.
Based on the November experience
the total number Of beneficiaries
named in the 1,1O3,69O certificates the
society had in force October /, was
about one million six hundred thou
sand. The total number Of mdivid-

one million, one hundred fifty thou

ty loses another of its worthy pioneer
citizens. Until November 8 Mr.. Ed

arriving in Bannack in May. There
he was engaged in freighting, farm
ing, and stock raising. He went to
Helena in March, 1866, remaining
there or in that immediate vicinity

latin valley, where, with his wife, he
had since resided.

continuing in business they were

all, their capital, and evidently the
profits have not been such as to justi-

The indebtedness of the firm in this
