ELEPHANT HUNTING

a T THE termination Of the World
"a war received three months
leave, the first two weeks of which
spent as the guest of Colonel M
on a hunting trip in Nepal, that
mountainous country which has pro-
duced a race of fighting men, the
Ghurkas, unsurpassed among India's
martial tribes.
This is the only country in the
world where that singular sport can
be obtained of hunting wild elephants
with tame ones, and capturing them
alive. When l proposed to Colonel
M that l should be allowed to make
the experiment, he at first refused on
the ground that it was too dangerous
for novice. But later he relented,
after l had acquitted myself credit
ably at rehearsal, when was sent
among the trees on the bare back of an
elephant, with only rope to hold
on by, and made to dodge the branch
es as he rushed through them at full
speed. But this was nothing CON-
pared to the actual day of the real
hunt, when the elephant ] rode formed
one of band of fifty, tearing at
clumsy rate through the jungle after
the wild herd, which 1t finally over
took and with which 1t engaged in
pitched battle.
shall never forget the uproar of
that singular encounter. The trump
citing of the elephants-the screams
of the mahouts-the firing by soldiers
of blank cartridges-the crashing of
the branches, as the huge monsters
with their trunks curled up, butted
one another like rams, and their riders
deftly threw lassoes of rope over
their unweildy heads-all formed
combination of sounds and of sights
never to be forgotten. 1t Is so diff
cult to take prisoners under these
conditions that the experienced hunt
ers seemed we'll satisfied in capturing
three out of herd of twelve.

at the time that only discovered
afterwards how much my skin was the

Faithful to Duty

The devotion of Lester Bunch, res

his cookery nearly cost him his life
when his kitchen caught fire. His
stove "backfred," and Bunch called
the fire department. And then, de-
spite flame and smoke, he dashed
back into his kitchen to rescue a
pork roast that was the cause of the
trouble. Firemen found him uncon-
scious beside his stove. When re-
vived his first words were: "Was

Commercial Club
Proposes Battle
Against Margarine
Butter Substitutes Running
Dairy Business, Says Mack
lie - Educational Campaign
to be Tried

The Commercial Club is start
ing a campaign of education
against the use of butter substi-
tutes. The matter was presented
this noon by Robert Mackie Of the
TwinCity Creamery, who recited
the facts that butterfat was now
bringing the lowest prices in sew
eral years; that with the high cost
of hay this year the fat producers
were operating at a loss; that
there had been thirty per cent in
crease in the production and use
of substitutes IN thezpagt wear.
He explained that vitality
necessary to the Of ths
Yakima valley PAL that
the dairy industry flOallsh.Ht he
said that the only way it could be
brought back to a paying basis
was for the people to discontinue
the use of the substitutes and use
the butter exclusively, thus re-
ducing the amount in storage and
bringing the price back to profit
able figure.
He admitted that the matter
must be handled from an educa-
tional standpoint only, and sug-
gested that committee be ap-
pointed to handle the matter. He
was appointed chairman, with C.
C. Williams and L. M. Lampson as
the other two members. They will
bring the matter before the var
ious Oranges and other organiza-
tions who might be interested.
An attempt will be made by the
local club to have an adjustment
made in the railroad rates on ap-
Piles to the seaboard. 1t was brot
out that Wenatchee'could ship her
apples into Seattle over a noun
tain range two and half cents a
box cheaper than Kennewick can
get hers to Portland over a water
! grade. The matter was taken up
with the Portland Chamber Of
Commerce and will be worked on
from that end also.
A report was made that the state
highway department had money
for use upon roads other than
those included within the states
system. H. S. Hughes pointed out
the fact that the road from Ken
newick to Umatilla was the only
highway in the state carrying reg
ular bus routes which was MAIN
tanned exclusively from county
funds. He stated that check had
shown that about fifteen per cent
of the traffic on this road was Of
local origin The roads committee
was instructed to ascertain the
method of securing a portion Of
this money as it becomes available
and see that is was spent on this
road.
