COLORADO ELK.
Account of a Day's Hunting in the
Mountains.
The Tenderfoot Sent His P.ullet Strai_ht
to the IIo;irt, Though After
a Wobbly Aim.
"Hist!" said the guide, suddenly sit
ting bolt upright iv his blankets. The j
tenderfoot, a New York tiuu man, and
tne second guide all listened intently, and
there fell softly from some far hight
through the still mountain air an oft-re
peated whistling call. It meant nothing
to the tenderfoot, but both guides ox
claimed, "Elk!" "There, up yonder!"
Baid oue of the guides, pointing to a high
peak of the Flat Top Range, now iaintly
touched with the tints of closing dawn.
The camp where the three men lay under
the stars, their horses picketed near at
hand, was beside the swift Williams
Fork, in a green valley of Koutt County,
Colorado, nearly 5,000 feet above tbe sea
JeveL The hight whence fell the mys
terious call rose snowy and pine-clad
2.U00 or 0,000 feet higher.
It Blill lacked more than an hour of
eunrise, and one of the guides had to be
dispatched down the valley to its sole
farmhouse in search of supplies. It was,
therefore, late in the morning before the
tenderfoot and his two guides were climb
ing on bronco back toward the far line of
the green timber. The plan was to go
thus far with the horses and, leaving
them on the upper edge of the aspens, to
begin the hunt on foot with the aid of the
trained dog, which was the fourth mem
ber of the party. The green timber,
standing In a deep snow and cumbered
by many fallen trees, ia practically unlit
lor horsemen. One alter another bare j
ruck-crowned peaks and nr tree-clad or
grassy valleys were unveiled to the trav
elers. The tenderfoot, unused to the at
mosphere of that high altitude, found his
throat parched and his lips cracking with
tmrst long before the aspens had been
passed, The green timber once reached,
the hunters cast the reins over their
horses' heads and left the animals stand
ine thus with the certainty that they
could be found when needed.
FIRST SIUHT OF THE ASIXEKED MO.N
AKCH.
Then began that weary ascent of the
snowclad hights. It had been agreed that
not even the great sprawling plantigrade
track of the grizzly bear should draw the I
hunters aside from thoir purpose. Elk
was the object of that expedition, and elk
alone should claim their attention. Some
times an eagle wheeled overhead, some
times a great jack rabbit sped by in ter
ror of that winged aerial foe, sometimes a
small herd of deer was seen hastening
westward, bound for the warm fertile
valleys of Utah, the winter quarters of
the Hocky Mountain deer. Noueot these
things, however, could draw from the
hunters so much as a single shot. A blue
grouse finally rose and took shelter in a
smail tree. The blue grouse is edible and
the hunters were short of food: so, fear
ful of alarming the elk should they shoot,
thov managed, with laughter and many
eliorts, to bring down the bird with a
stone.
They would have joined in no such
noisy sport, nor would they have stopped
to prepare their game for the spit had
they known that the elk herd was only
500 yards away. Elk in that part of the
Kockies go in droves that may number
forty or tifty. It is not uncommon for a
single great bull to lead a polyamous
family of tilteen or twenty cows, with
half a dozen younger bulls hanging about j
the edge of the cowry. Tbe head of this
strange household usually keeps his j
wives in single file ahead of him, in in
this fashion they traverse the mountains, j
AVhena sudden thirst seizes the great
bull he starts with a mad rush for the
valley where the nearest stream llows.
lie strikes with his great boras the tiank
of the first cow that stands in his way,
and thus the whole herd are started in
headlong gahop down whatever ron^h
steeps leads to the valley below. This
downward flight of the elk herd, thirty
or forty creatures, Bwift as galloping
horses, sureiooted as the Andean llama,
is one of the most astonishing sights of
the Rockies.
While the second guido talked softly
with the tenderfoot ef thoelk's habits, the
first guide, a sturdy young blacksmith
from a distant village, trudged some yards
ahead. As things stood thus he suddenly
called in a loud whisper and beckoned
the laggards onward with a gesture of ex
citement. As the tenderfoot hastened
over the thirty or lorty yards of snow be
tween himself and the blacksmith the
latter pointed onward through the pines,
and the tenderfoot saw through a short
vista, for the first time in his liie, a wild
elk free upon his native ground.
♦tkndeui-oot's attack of buck fevku.
The great creature loomed large as a big
cow, its branching, massive horns ex
tending far along its sides. The tender
foot was utterly out of breath, half wild
with excitement, and, as he presently
learned, the victim ot buck fever.
■'Take your shot," said the guide in a
whisper, denoting suppressed excitement,
as he held the straining hound, The teu
derl*ot raised the Winchester to his
shoulder, but the weapon wobbled as if
in the hands of a palsied man. Tne guides
looked with a sort of prolessional horror.
JStill the gun wobbled and its owner did
not shoot.
"For God's sake keep that gun quiet!"
whispered the guide hoarsely.
liy this time ail could see a dozen more
elk moving about through the forest, but
the great bull still stood in silent contem
plation of the hunters. The tenderfoot,
despairing of himself, knelt down and
clasped h\a shaking weapon hard against
his shoulder, i'nen, determined not to
be hurried into a bad shot, he watched
the trembling muzzle until it passed
across the breast of the bull. Then he ]
fired. The great creature leaped from his
place and the guide fired at the retreating
lij:ui-e. Suddenly the woods seemed full
of the swift moving elk. The hunters
shot and shot again. The dog was DOW
in full cry, and the hunters followed tin
game as rupidiy as possible. The whole
herd was plunging headlong through the
green timber. One bull was hastening
olf with the dog at his heels. The doy
would seize the fetlock, drop it and
crouch as the great creature kicked. Fi
nally, the dog, still clinging to the bull's
hind' leg, was dragged over a fallen log.
\s the bull took his leap one of the hunt
•n fired, and the elk fell dead.
The air was now filled with the sound of
the retreating elk as they plunged through
the underbrush. The herd was rapidly
getting out of range, and the hunters
paused to note what execution had been
done. Three elk bulls lay dead. That
which the tenderioot had first fired Bt
had moved only a few feet from Un
original stand. '1 he bullet aimed withso :
much difficulty had reached his heart, j
The guide had inilicted only a slight !
wound.
Two of the great antlered heads were
taken off by the guides. It was impossible
to carry a way the lle.-?iior even the skins,
and the party, heavily laden with the ant
lers and choice portions of the meat,
Started downward through the greet)
timber toward the horses. The journey
was made with laborious slowness in
deference to the tenderfoot's worn-out I
condition. The horses were sighted alter
three hours, and found patiently awaitin_
almost exactly where they had been left. '
The docile packhorse, which had followed j
the trail all the morning like a kitten, was j
laden with the antlered heads and the j
meat, and the homeward journey was !
continued into the comparative civiliza- j
tion of the valley.

Electricity to Aid the Gatllng Gun.
\n electric motor attachment has been
applied to the Galling gun which promises
not only to more than doubje the de
structive capabilities of that particular
machine, but to effect a great advance in
the eiiieieuey of all machine guns. Tne

tritie over fifty pounds, and is placed in
the breech of the gun, amply protected.
The motor increases the present rate of
firing, 1,200 shots a minute, to more than ;

SCHOOL HYGIENE.
Important Advice Given by the State
Hoard of Health.
The fourth circular on "School Hygiene
for Public School Teachers" has been
published by Dr. J. R. Lame, Secretary
of the State Board of Health. The ad
vice and suggestions therein are sum
marized as follows:
The school grounds must be high and
dry.
The basement must be kept clean and
thoroughly ventilated.
The well should be not less than 200
feet from a privy, and cleaned out twice a
year.
The water-closets and urinals should
be inspected daily uy the principal or
teacher.
Have all outside doors open outwardly.
Let no blackboards be placed between
windows.
Have the pupils face a wall with no
windows.
Have uerfectly tight floors.
Ventilate well, but do not let the room
become uncomfortably cold nor permit
pupils to sit in a draft.
L»o not let a pupil take a seat in wet
clothes.
Let young children have water as often
as they want it.
Go through all exercises promptly,
quickly and with energetic precision.
Have a mirror and a vitrified iron wash
bowl in the schoolroom, but no soap or
towel.
Allow no cigarette or other smoking,
and give no opportunity for any kind of
vice or nuisance about the school prem
ises.
Let pupils go to the water-closet as
often as necessary. Let them go too often
rather than not often enough.
Sec that all pupils have been vacci
nated.
Keport all cases of contagious diseases
at once to the Health officer by mail.
Do not permit them to return until they
bring a certificate from a reputable phy
sician that they are no longer dangerous
to others.
Send no pupil to the residence of others
to inquire the cause of absence. Write
or send the truant officer.
Most of tbe above rules apply to both
city and country schools. In country
schools there are no health officers, truant
otiicers, nor janitors, and the teacher
mustolteu exercise personal discretion,
and be guided by the circumstances of
the case. Even in city schools it is well
not to trust too much to janitors. It is
better for the principal or teacher to per
sonally inspect the premises, and early
form a habit of close observation of the
| sanitary delinquencies and necessities of
! an}' uchool. He fearless and prompt in
demanding what is necessary, and do not
be pooh-poohed out of your flrui convic
tions.
jgFirmness and courage go with a knowl
edge of what is right. Whenever you are
in doubt call on the Health < >tiicer or
Board of Health, or any physician, and
you may rest assured that the medical
profession and all intelligent people will
sustain and back you in your endeavors
to preserve the health of the innocent
ones committed to your care.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $1O
to $2O per Acre.
The Pacific Improvement Company bas re
cently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lsnds from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $10 to $20 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, 80, 120, 160 and 320 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of nve equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are an
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $10 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $20 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to corre
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made th»t good
lands, suitable for general farming:, and es
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
bad In California for less than from $60 to
f 100 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $20
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $10 an acre, on terms of
payment wh'.ch should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of The purchase of thii
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
