HALL REPORTS PROGRESS.
He Thinks the Mile Laos indian Will

He Thinks the Mile Laos Indians Will go
to White Earth Peacefully.
Hon. D. S. Hall, chairman of the
Chippewa Indian commission, returned
from a weeks s%ojourn in the Mile Laos
lake country, Monday. He was in a
decidedly hopeful frame of mind, and
here is the way he talked to a ST.. Paul
reporter: .."}
1.-The commission" he said, lis using
every effort to induce the Mile Laos
Indians to move, and I believe that
they will soon decide to move. Thew
have got the idea that this move to
White Earth is simply preliminary to
another n which will take. them to
the Turtle mountain reservation in
North Dakota. A great many of the
more Intelligent members of the tribe
are ready and anxious to 20 to White
Earth, but there is an organized band
opposed to it. The members of this
are encouraged by people who do not
want them to go. These people tell
them they do not need to move unless
they want to. If everybody would tell
them the truth and describe the situa-
tion as it really is, there would be no
difficulty in the matter. Those who
understand the benefits that will arise
from the change are satisfied and
ready to move."
What will be the result if the In
dams do not choose to move soon?"
"Well, l do not like to say anything
about that" answered the commits
sioner. "Of course you know these In
dams have nc land of their own, and
the settlers are coming in very fast.
The Indians have always made sugar
in that country, and when the season
for that arrives there is likely to be
some trouble, although I am inclined
to think that the Indians will not
modest the settlers. But the trouble
is, the Indians are now living on ONE
settlers claims. They have always
peer a peaceful class of Indians, noted
for their friendly feeling toward the
whites. Even in the outbreak of 1862
they remained friendly, and for that
reason they have been allowed to re-
main on that reservation during their
good behavior, but now the settlers are
crowding them SO hard that something
must be DONE" C0
but the commission has the power
to remove the Mile Laos by force. has
1t not?" persisted the Globe man.
I'VE do not desire to exercise such
authority, even if we have it," replied
MIR. Hall, rather evasively. 1.-THE
most intelligent are fully persuaded
that they ought to CO.; in fact that
there is nothing else for them to do.
| am very much interested in the In
dams, and my interests are all with
them for their benefit. I want them to
go because it is the best move they can
make, and the further fact that there
is no other course left open to them.
l think that wise council will prevail
IN the near future and all of the Mile
Laos will go p~eaceably to White Earth.
Were it not for evil advisers we would
soon be able to convince the Indians
that it is best that they go, but, as
things stand, it may take some time

story OF am Amerlcan OAK.

Concerning the American oak grow
ing in the imperial gardens at st.
Petersburg, this story is told: When
Mr.. Dallas was in st. Petersburg as
American Minister, he was one day
visited by tall, awkward American,
who, being requested to state his
business, Immediately said that he
wanted to see the Emperor. He was
assured that obtaining an interview
with the Emperor was no easy task,
but not being disposed to take re-
fusal, he was requested to leave his
name and return in about a fort
night, when his application would
probably be considered and deter
mined. a week or so later the
American Minister was surprised by
visit from the tall American, and
beginning to assure his visitor that
an interview with the Emperor could
not be obtained, the American re-
sponded that he had already seen the
Emperor and had just called in at
the embassy for the purpose OF saying
good-Ey, as he was on his way home.
Mr.. Dallas was dumfounded. and in
quired into the particulars, when hc
found that the man actually had, by
sheer force Of brass, succeeded In
passing the guards at the palace and
seeing the Emperor. Il gave him a
present, too" "What was it?" in
ouired Mr.. Dallas. IAN acorn from
Mount Vernon from tree. that grew
over Washington's tomb. The EN-
peror planted 1t In the garden with his
own hands. l followed him out and
saw him plant it," Strange as the
story was it was true, and the oak
now growing in the imperial gardens
at ST. Petersburg sprung from the
acorn carried thither as present to
the Emperor by the long, awkward
American.

In The I;,ue Ridge.

An important North Carolina In
dustry is the collecting and preparing
OF roots and herbs for lie to whole
sale druggists and exporters. This
industry gives employment TO over
thirty thousand people IN the Blue
Ridge. On the Atlantic slope OF the
Blue Ridge grow no less than two
thousand two hundred varieties Of
plants known to materia medical; this
fact coming TO the notice of two
5hrewd business men of StateSyille,
they began the business OF collecting,
preparing, and exporting them. 1t
is interesting to go through the i'm
mense warehouses of this firm. There
are forty-four thousand square feet Of
floor space in all, and on this are
stored several hundred tons OF roots,
herbs, barks, gums, and MOSES, some
varieties in lots OF many tons each.
The yearly business or the firm
amounts to one million five hundred
thousand pounds. This mass is bought
in by collectors or sent in by country
merchants who act as agents for the
firm. A certain knowledge OF herbs,
how and what season to secure them,
is necessary outfit for the collector
The greater part Of the gatherers live
in mountains in small log cabins Of
one room, and pursue their novel cali
ing in the shadow Of the deep cliffs,
under the mighty forests. on the open
SUBMITS OF the lofty peaks, or in the
deep gorges OF the great Appalachian
chain. In these almost inacces ible
solitudes the ginseng, snake root, To-
bella, blood root, mandrake, unicorn
root, and scores of other varieties are
found in abundance. These the noun
taineer collects, takes to his cabin,
and dries. When he has sufficient
cargo for his large, canvas-covered
wagon, he bitches up his ancient
mules and transports it over the
mountain roads to the nearest town
or settlement, where he exchanges it
for tea, sugar, snuff, and tobacco.

TO the floorsmen and skinners. All the
work in the slaughtoring department is
done by trained experts, each one hav-
ing a single division of labor TO perform.
No part OF the animal is wasted. The
hides are removed SO carefully that they
bring a higher price than the common
butchers hides; the CUTS are thoroughly
cleansed and sold for sausage castings;
the cont ents of the entrails ara converted
into fertilizing substances; the livers
and hearts are shipped with the beef to
different markets, where they are sold
to good advantage; the bladders are
dried and disposed of to druggists and
other parties; the stomach makes tripe;
the tongues are always in demand; the
horns sell readily to the comb and
knife-haft makers. while the shin bones
are usually in good request for knife
handles and backs for tooth and nail
brushes.
The knuckle-bones are prepared for
making acid phosphate, and for this de-
sign have fair merchantable value.
The blood is all utilized for different
commercial purposes; the ox-tail trade
is now regular part Of the traffic; the
heads, after being trimmed, are sold for
glue stock; the fat taken from the in
terror of the bullock is converted into
oleomargarine, undcr which name it is
sold to fair advantage. Neatsfoot oil is
made from the feet and the hoofs are
ground and mixed with the other fertil-
izing substances. 1t is this advanta-
geous utilization of the refuse and offal
of the bullock that has been largely in
strumental in the wonderful success of
the dressed beef trade in Chicago.
The processes OF dressing and clean
ing the carcasses of the cattle slaught-
cred Tor the dressed beef trade are most
interesting. After leaving the main
slaughtering house, from which place,
by the way, the visitor is glad to escape,
the carcasses are taken along the iron
runways into the immense refriger-
ators, where they cool off in a tempera-
ture of 36 degrees Fahrenheit. One is
impressed by the degree OF cleanliness
maintained in the establishment after
passing from the blood-stained floors of
the butchering department. There Is

chilling rooms, the floors Of which are
covered with fresh, clean sawdust. In
addition to the lot number attached TO
the Carcase OF each animal is certifi-
cate of inspection placed there by one
OF Uncle Jerry Rusk's inspectors, who
is stationed at the lifting door, through
which the bullock Is admitted to the
slaughterlng room, and, who is recent

national as well as State inspection Is
enforced.
The carcasses remain hanging in the
chilling rooms from thlrty-six to forty
eight hours, after which they are run
out to the loading platforms, cut into
quar- ters and put In the refrigerator cars

points. The cars are kept at the same
temperature as the cooling-rooms, and
are iced twenty-four hours prior to using,

ing. A gang OF expert cutters under
the charge OF a competent foreman can
