Take, for example, the story called "The Elephant Matter" (thoughtfully translated from the Loma dialect by the weekly's Editor Margaret D. Miller, daughter of a Lutheran missionary): "The women went to fish in a stream and the elephants came after them. They chased them the whole day long . . . We who went to meet the women were five. The elephants chased us too. We had to climb a tree. One man, whose name was Peiwala, took off his shoes and left them under the tree. The elephants took the shoes and spoiled them...

Heineman wants to strengthen his road before bar gaining with its leading competitor. Since becoming North Western's boss, Heineman has cut costs and deadwood, stream lined maintenance, figures to have North Western steamed up enough to start negotiations in three years. But Lannan also plans to do a lot with the Milwaukee by that time...
