Washington in a few days for South
Afrit a with a party of hunters and
motion picture camera man. The pur
pose of the trip is to film the w ild ani
mals of Xairohi anti other pa'ts of the
continent. An airplane will he a part
of the equipment to bo used for scout
ing pm poses. However, viewing past
experiences in this line of endeavor it
is not so certain that the flying ship
will he the success that is anticipated.
Seveial years ago, about the time
of the celebrated Roosevelt hunt of
the South African veldts, W. I).
Royce. a Chicago newspaper man,
conceived the idea of beating Roose
velt not only to the news, but to the
pictures as well, and he and Johnny
McCutcheon. the caitoonist, fonnu
lated a plan for using a captive hal- |
loon. They probably thought a bal
loon would he a safe place from 1
which to take pictures of lions. They
had a lot of trouble with their native
packers.
To make gas for the baloon, they
needed several gallons of nitric acid,
which had to be carried in tanks.
The tanks leaked, and before they
were many miles from Xairohi. the
backs of the members of the safari
resembled so many spotted leopards.
The acid ate the black pigments from
under their skins. However, they J
get the balloon in and floated it.
Their failure to get pictures was j
Urn to the fact that grapevine news
travels faster among uncivilized
tribes. From Cape Colony to the
tonneau Coast and from the Trans
va:d to Cario ttm news had gone j
♦t il no v were going to float through
th** air in a i*hip. Swahilis, Matn
Vles. /uUk. Kaffirs, hushmen and
wen Xrahs from the Far North came
*o the hunting grounds in literal
thousands to see the meat sijfht.
Satu rally the frame left for other
nlaces and all that MoCutcheon ami
lloyeo could see from the balloon
was countless thousands of sots of
white tooth set in black faces star- 1
intr skyward. The few animal pic
tures they irot wore taken from the
i? round.
In South Africa to this day are
many black men with white spots .
on their hacks and whenever a
st -anirer thaws attention to them j
the ro!oni>ts usually say: “Ah yes, !
we have a lot of those kind. De’ve had
Vm ever since those two crazy journ- i
alists from America were here.”

FIRST DIVISION
SENATORIAL RACE
RESULTS IN TIE
—
When a Yakutat voter in the pri
mary election of April 27, last,
placed a cross opposite the names
of both Isaac Sowerby and E. A.
H«*ath, thus spoiling the ballot, lie
cost one or tin* other of the candi
dates the democratic nomination for
Senator from the First division and
tied thi' count. The Yakutat re
turns were received at the office of
the cleric of the court, says the Ju
neau Empire.
The election registers show three
democratic voters and two republi
can voters. Tim tally sheet, how
ever, gives Mr. Sowerby a total of
three votes, and E. A. Heath one
vote. A canvass of the votes re
vealed the fact that one of them
was marked for both candidates,
thus spoiling the ballot and counting
'*0'’ neither one.
Exclusive of the Yakutat vote, the
count stood. Heath 148 and Sower
by ! H>. The Yakutat returns as for
warded by the election board for
that precinct the foimer one and
the latter three tied them with 14‘>
each. The actual vote; however,
after throwing out the defaced ballots,
fives each man 148 votes.
The returns are now complete
with the sole exception of Port Wal
ter. It is not believed that any
primary was held there. In siirh
case it will leave the two men tied
for the nomination for which there
is not precedent in the Territory and
which is apparently not covered by the
Alaska election law.

SLA I CUTER OF ELK
RY ROT HUNTERS
l • - •
HELENA, Mont., June 22— The
game ranges of the state are plenti
fully stocked with doer this year, ac
cording to reports to State Game.
Warden J. I.. DeHart here. It is esti
mated that 6,000. deer were slain hv
hunters last year, hut that is not .
more than the normal increase. The
slaughter of elk was more serious, as I
it was largely by pot hunters, it is i
declared, but there are still many
thousands on the ranges.

It takes a rousing demonstration to
get a small boy out of bed in the ear- i
