Chagrees River and the general
question of drainage. The French
Government has refused its sanction
to n recent application of De Lesseps
for permission TO run a lottery scheme
to raise funds for continuing the work
of the canal. and the shares of the
stock are rapidly depreciating in value
In the market. The whole scheme now
bids fair to end in total failure, in
volving the loss of all that has been
expended. This loss represents tho

The Deer Range of the North

The great deer range is in Northern
Wisconsin. across Minnesota to Dakota.
aud covers the country adjacent TO
Brush City and Princeton and to the
north Of Brainord. There are very few
deer on the Red Lake reservation. aud
very few about Duluth. because the
wolves are so numerous in the counties
adjacent. The wolves drive the deer
out. AT the extreme frontier the deer
are found in good condition. They
breed IN the timber aud remain there
during the summer and are driven out
by the wolves in the fall. Between the
Indians and the wolves many deer are
wastefully destroyed. 1t is necessary

2Oth to February 9th, has suffered no
serious interruption to its movement.
During only four days of this time-in

was this train as much as one hour be-
hind its schedule. Eight times its ar

and in every other instance its arrivals
have been accurately on time.
