GAME; ELEPHANT HUNT DESCRIBED
Few lumbermen have the oppor
tunity for big game hunting which Is
being enjoyed by H. P. Crow, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Crow of Alfalfa,
who has been engaged in the timber
business In Gabon, Africa, since the
end of tho World war. A letter
mailed to his mother from Port Gen
, til, Just received, describes an ele
phant hunt and gives other interest
ing details of African life.
The letter was written on the first
of the year, and at the time tha
writer hjiHixpected to be well on his
way home. If not actually back In
Central Oregon. The settling of
business affairs, however, he ex
plains, has delayed bis return. Rela
tive to his experiences in the dark
continent, ho writes:
"During tho past two months I
have been in the back country on a
Jiuntlng trip; also cruising and buy
ing timber. Had a good time and
made good money. Did most of my
shooting with an English army rifle;
hlsoiad a Mauser rifle and a small
carbine. It was with the latter I
killed an elephant. Mr. Airth, an
other pal, Mr. Lipp, myself and five
blacks wero going overland 'between
two lakes. No one, black or white,
had ever passed that way. The sec
ond day, about 10 o'clock, we en
countered three elephants. I was
some 100 yards bohlnd the others, ty
ing my handkerchief on my carblno
as a sling. The elephants saw tho
others and made a small detour,
coming back Into the trail Just
abreast of mo. I commenced firing
when one was about 40 foot away.
My first Bho 'Stopped It, my second
knocked It down or rather It sat
down. I had broken Its back. Mean
while Air 111' Was hurrying back to my
aid. Ills ' first shot and my third
were both fired at once, neither do
ing any harin. Alrth's second nnd
jny fourth cracked simultaneously.
Alrth's ball struck a half inch above
the right oyo, iillno n half 'inch below
the left eyo, cither sufficient to kill.
The elephant pitched forward on its
knees and head; both tusks were
