RIDIXG AX ELK. ,
William Wnrruck, better known
is Blowhnrtl Bill, arrived in Hepp
;ier esteid;vywith a wagon-load
it game sholjbeyoiid Black Butte.
Amid nature s beautiful parks in
the Blue mountains there are
many strange things occurring.
Ihe incident related below may
have happened and maybe not It
is uncertain. But the fact remains
Hint Bill is,generally a very big liar.
He says: Last Monday 1 was up
fiilow Trail canyon on the look
jut for game. I sawfresh signs
jf elk, and I cliuibeifup a rock to
takea look around. Lhe rock was
ibout 35 feet high. I got to the
top, looked around, and saw that
there wifsn't any game in sight
Then I started to go down the ofe
er side. It was very steep on thftl
side, and I reached out and caught
the iimbs of a big jumper tree that
stood up against the side of the

Iwas lead, taking the limbs" with
me. .Pdidn't s-ike ground though,
and now, come to think j over, I
i,sh I hal An elk with seven
prong horns was hiding under the
rock in the shade of e!ia:2Srip and
I fell square on his cshoulders.
I guess it would be'hard to tell
who was scared the most, me or
the elk. Tl;e elk started as though
he was shot, and this saved me the
trouble of doing anything of the
kind, for he set back his head and
brought them big horns of his
iTCTuare down on my legs, anil
held me there as last us u l was
glued to his back. The wits teem
ed scared out of that elk. He
didn't seem to care where he went,
or where I wanted him to go.
Oyster Can Canyon seemed to
please him very well for a little
while, or until my dogs got aftere
him. He didn't appear to have
anv regard for his safety, and

afraid for the elk, but when at
times he skirted aloiPjfthe edges
of precipices, where the fall would
be anywhere from three to five
hundred feet, I was somewhat
afraid the darned elk would loosen
the grip of his horns on my legs.

Sock canyon he seemed only
freshed up for the run, and only
more anxious than ever before fr
taking in the fine scenery that
Heppner hunters so much enjoy.
I had grown very tired of it, but
this did not trouble, the elk. As
we turned back in the direction of
the Matteson coal mine, and had
ruli altogether about 53 miles, we
almost run over Edgar Matteson,
who was out hunting, and as quick
as a flash Edgar sent a bullet
right back of my leg and through
the heart of the elk. That stopped

the same favor-for a Columbia In
dian who was feeing run away with
by an elk six years ago. My elk
weighed about a ton, and Edgar
and I had all we could do to pack
the meat home on our backs at
one trip.
HUXTIXO- THE BUFFALO.
In going clown the Yellowstone
Montaua, niHlncT(W8theYastre -
in
gion lying between Glendive and
Mandan, oivtis struck with the
evident scarcity of game. This
famous region, where two or thres
years ago herds of buffalo, antelope
and deer were seen on every side,
is now to all appearance stripped
of its game. The fact is, the
slaughter of buffalo and deer has
been immense for the past two
years, and particularly of the for
mer. It ia estimated that during
therpast winter there have ibeeB p
thousand hunters engaged in the
business of slaughtering buffalo
along the line of the Northern Pa
cific between Mandan and Living
ston. An eagle-eyed hunter gave
me the following interesting de
tails as to the modus operandi in
slaughtering herds of buffalo. In
the first place, the experienced
hunter uses-tjje Sharpe rifle, 40-90
calibre. With this he can kill at
1000 yards." When he sees a herd
of buffalo he usually slips to con
venient range, from 400 to 500
yards, anil always selects a cow for
his first victim. He does this for
the reason that the cow is followed
by both her yearling and two-year
old calves, and they will usually
stand by her to the last But un
der no circumstances ill the ex
perienced hunter kill his buffalo'
outright. If he does, the herd
will stampede at once. The policy
is to wound fatally, but so that the
animal wall"d?ish round in a circle
before falling. This it always
does when mortally wounded, and
after a few moments lies down
The remainder of the
herd care
not alarmed at this; biftcontinue
to graze, or look on dazed specta
tors of the tragedy being enacted.
After his first shot the hunter
pausci3Qtil9otiiels restot&Cnnd
again fires at another cow, with
similar results. He always aims
to pVt hisJjall just behindcthe fore
snouiuer, wnicn win cause ueau
in five minutes at furthest. When
the cows have all been slain, lie
then turns his attention to the
calves, and lastly to the bulls. The
experienced hunter cenernllv baits
Sk entire herd, unless he is so un
fortunate as to drop his game im

stampede at once. The buffalo
dSes not sctrT at the crack of a
gun. Ha has decidedly more cour
aoetjiau discretion. It is only
Ijwhen the crack is followed by an
immediate fall that he realizes its
deadly nature and takes alarm.
The policy of killing the cows first
and then the calves has resulted in
thecjilmost utterxextinction of the
female buffalo. Herds of melan
choly bulls can still occasionally
be seen, sometimes m bands of
twenty or thirty, and often without
a s'fligle cow. - O
As we have said, the bulls are
now about all that are left o the
buffalo. They -largely owe their
safety to the fact that their hides
are less valuable than those of the
Lj;ows, while at the same time they
are jnore difficult to kill. The
hide of the bull is only dri&h to
thfj huSJiiCf AmQ1.80 while
that of the cowobiasags C$3.25pnsd
that of the two-year-old caSis
worth from $1 to $1.5). But of
late there has sprung up quite a
demand through the east for the
head of the buffalo bull. The
well-preserved head of an aged
bull decked out with glass eyes
and horns, will readily sell for $24
in the eastern markets. Conse
quently, the buffalo hunter of the
future will wage a destructive war
uooii the bull tribe, and these ven
erable i-elics of a by-gone era will
also pass swiftly away
The chairman of the committee
on foreign affairs reported a peace

benrs the title "How To Mnke $sA0
a Year From Twelve Hens." We
tried this getting rich out of the
hen business last year, and whilo
it looks nice and pretty in gilt let
ters on blue binding to save )?500
a year from twelve hens, our ex
perience was different We se
cured, last spring, a collection of
lady hens and a male companion,
and domiciled them in nn extensive
hen -paature in the venr of our
preinises.' We figured it all cnt
that with six eggs a day and occa
sional vacations which would bo
paid for in chickens, w.e would
soon have money enough to go to
Europe orrun for office. Early in
the season the brown Leghorn
troops fought nobly, and we began
to look around with the idea of
getting a safe to put our egg
money in. Just at this juncture
wheat stepped up to ifrl a bushel,
and our hens ceased laying
and
turned their attention to their
ap-
petites.
During the interim (interim is a
word that we found in the oftico
when we bought it), one of our
hens had succeeded in pre'senting
to the worlcPa dozen little brown
balls, which imagination told us
would make excellent chicken pies
along in Pecember. Imagination
lied to us, however, for in less than
four weeks every one of the little
brown darlings had been referred
to the0 interior department of a
confoundwl skunk, and there was
seven weeks' lost time to be charg
ed 5j to that hen's profit ami loss
account. A e forbear telling Cof
our midnight ramble in the dewy
mazes of our garden, clad in mod
esty and a night-shirt, with n re
volver filled with 32.100 cartridge's553
and a heart filled with ani'mosity CCD
toward that skunk. We draw a ,
curtain o'er that scene.
W.hen fjjl cam and after we
had bought eggs to feed ourselves
and wheat to feed our hens for
awhile, we retired from the hen
business, tuM wliaH e made up O
our rojnd that it takes something
mXre than a book anil a dozen
hens to make i?500 a year. Of
9eSt4wenakcwM-t?&tsw'hj
can play the ame for all it l.s o
worthy and make it pay. But for
a greenhorn to think that twenty- o
four hens are worth a cool thou
sand dollars a year ti?him, is all
ixjppy-cofk. If you make liens
lay every day, and bring chickens
up on a bottle in some secluded
corner where skunks cannot get at
them, it would pay for novices to
establish hen dairies. As it is,
howeyer, we novice) hadCiaetter
save our money from buying such
books as the one describT?!, to buy
eggs with, and let those who uu-
.lerstand egg harvesting tfo cthe f )
work. There is too much respon
sibility too much getting up
nights to shoot skunks, and tw,
few egiiPti?inltolfr3Q
inducements to amateurs.
