DEAR FRiRHD-This being Sunday,
am feeling very lonesome 10 this little hell,
which l must cali it. To begin with, it is
the worst place on the face Of the earth.
can't begin to deseribe the hardships 81

We have to get into the water to the neck,

dangerous.
There WAS one man that came with NJ
drowned yesterday. BE fell ont Of his
boat in going to his work. To tell the
truth, IT was nothing but misery for . white
man. We bad 3 terrible time get
ting in here. We had to take
boats through the wood, at the
dead of night. and then on muddy roads
up to the knees all the way from the place
We left the cars; that Is SIX miles from
lhe camp. We are ia the worst of it.
We can't get our clothes back till we work
long enough to pay our passage from Boz

offered high wages, and the men supposed |

W. w. Miller Of Foxcroft was in the city

He is, however. loa.h to talk shop. He

chances with Uncle Sam as well. "But
We are going to look after them, added the
collector.
"You look after the maple sugar bounty
as well as the liquor revenue, do you not,
Mr.. Miller?"
"Yes; but so far have had no applics.

Of a. least five hundred pounds of maple
