ONE LAST GREAT HUNT
The Roosevelt hunting expedition into
the Himalayas returned to the United j
States just in time. “Young Ted” has an
other chance to show his skill with a rifle
without the necessity for a journey across
the eastern hemisphere. Nor will he and
his brother find it necessary to cultivate
heavy beards, because barber shops and all
the comforts of civilization are within hail
of the hunting grounds.
A. H. Leonard, of Fort Pierre, So. Dak.,
bought a herd of 300 American bison, com
monly known as buffalos, from a live-stock
company which has no further use for the
big beasts. Leonard proposed to transport
the entire lot to his ranch in South Dakota
from their present location on an island in
the Big Salt Lake. He engaged a Sioux In
dian to round up the cattle and get them
from Utah to his ranch. But the Indian re
ports that they are too wild to capture, with
the result that Leonard has decided to give
big-game hunters a shot at the animals. He
proposes to organize a big hunting party,
and there is every reason to expect that his
invitation will be accepted with alacrity by j
the recipients of the bids.
No such big game hunt has been staged j
since the old days when Buffalo Bill Cody
contracted to furnish the meat to feed the
builders of the Union Pacific railroad, which
he did so effectively from the herds of the
Western plains. That was back in the sev
enties. It is unlikely that there will ever be
a like opportunity presented again, and it is
a cinch that the enterprising “producers”
wil come to the front with fabulous offers
for film rights.
Mr. Leonard may expect the movie people
to pay him for the picture privilege the en
tire cost of the herd. Meat, robes and ad
missions will be all velvet.
Year by year the fashions make love at
first sight a little more plausible.
PRESERVE OLD LANDMARK
The plan of Sitka citizens, aided by the |
Alaska Historical Society, to restore the ,
old Russian Blockhouse at Sitka should in- (
terest the entire Pacific Coast. The ruined
fort is not only the oldest monument of ,
white colonization on the Coast north of 1
San Francisco Bay, but also one of the few
monuments remaining of the Russian oc
cupation of Alaska. First settled by the 1
Russians in 1799, Sitka, or New Archangel
as its founders named it, was in the earlier j
years of the last century the seat of civili
zation on the Pacific Coast.
United States senator in a moment of
gloomy phophecy said that in a few years
half the population would be in jail and the 1
other half drunk. Imagine a reversal of or
der that would permit the half that is drunk 1
putting the sober half in jail! 1
Mexico is becoming civilized: fifteen per- j
sons were killed in that republic the other
day by a railroad wreck instead of bandits.
