He Can Say 'sSombrero y Bota"
Some timo ago two Chilean gentle
men, friends of each other agreed TO
visit Europe. Ono of them resolved to
proceed overland to Buenos Ayres, and
from thence to Montevideo, where no
would join tho straits steamer, while
tho other preferred to make the Journey
by sea.
In duo time the steamer arrived at
Montevideo, and the two friends met
again. After the customary salutations
were over they commenced to compare
notes OF their respective trips. Tho tray
eler by sea complained that tho Chilean
stewards on board protested profound
Ignorance Of their native tongue and
persisted i'll answering all questions put
IN that language with Il What, sir?" or
Beg pardon, sir!" "Only imagine. 8"
he said, that during all tho voyage
from Valparaiso to Moutevidco l have
been unable to obtain pan con mante-
quilla, because tho stewards either
Would not or could not understand me. -
My dear friend, " replied the over
land route man, 81 will tell you how to
overcome that difficulty There is a
considerable number of Spanish words
which can be made to do duty rs Eng
lish. 1t is merely a question of pursuing
up tho mouth and speaking harshly
through the teeth. For instance. in the
case OF pan con mantequilla, the Span
lsh words to be employed arc sombrero
y bota. Make the trial and you will be
convinced of the efficacy of my method. 4"
Next morning tho two friends sat
down together to breakfast, and the
overland man, nudging his companion,
Whispered. 'Try my method" Inme-
ditely afterward one of the Chilean
mezos who was unable to comprehend
the meaning of pan con mantequilla ap-
preached, and the passenger. screwing
upshis mouth and speaking through his
teqth, exclaimed, "Sombrero y bota. +"
Some bread and butter? Yes, sir"
Came the answer, and tho passenger
had no difficulty after that i'll procuring

The honest election" committee,
which met in Salem about week ago
for the purpose OF recommending a CO.
alition ticket in opposition to the zone
nominated by the Democrats, but which
adjourned without reaching q decision,
will have another conference at that
place to day. Since the last meeting
the Republican leaders of this city have
held several conferences and have
about decided to name @ straightout
Republican ticket. There was strenu.
GUS opposition in the ranks to the idea
of fusion. and particularly since it was
learned that the Prohibitionists wished
to name the senatorial candidate. ItAe
hardly probable that to- days meeting

LONELY MOUNDS AT POINT BARROW
They Mark the Antiquity of n Native Race,
but DO Not Tell Jts Story

They Mark the Antiquity of n Native Race,
but DO Not Tell Its Story.
Point Barrow, Alaska, the northern
most point of land of tho North Ameri-
can continent, has some interesting
graveyards Of its own. About 1 1 years
ago Lieutenant Ray, in his report of
the polar expedition to Point Barrow,
recorded that in digging shaft 2G feet
below the earth's surface to obtain
earth temperatures he found pair of
wooden goggles, pointing to tho great
lapse Of time since these shores were
first peopled. The Alaska Mining Rec
ord says that this country was undoubt-
eddy inhabited long befoY Columbus
discovered America. Of the origin or
descent Of the inhabitants no definite
trace has been found, and there are no
records Of the past among the people
who now live there. Their language
apounds IN legends, but none gives any
data by which to judge how long these
desolate shores have been inhabited.
The ruins of ancient villages and
winter huts along tho seashore and in
the interior show that tho country has
been inhabited for centuries. There are
mounds at Point Barrow marking the
site of three huts dating back to tho
time when the natives had no iron and
the men talked like dog" These
mounds stand in the middle of marsh,
and the sinking of tho land caused the
site to DO flooded and abandoned Tho
inhabitants in times past havo followed
the receding line of ice which at one
continent and have moved along the
easiest line of travel. This is shown in
the general distribution of similar
people, speaking II similar tongue, from
Greenland to Boring strait. The dis
tribution Of the race today marks the
routes travelled. The seashore led them
along the coasts of Labrador and Green
land, Hudson bay and its tributary
waters They came down tho Yukon, so
rich III minerals, to people the shores of
that stream and the interior Of Alaska,
and travelled along the coast to Cape
Prince Of Wales. To this day they use
dogs instead of deer, tho natives of
North America having mover domesti-
Gated tho reindeer, and they speak q
different tongue from their neighbors
across the strait i'll Siberia.
Some writers Oh the subject have I'D
vanced the theory that the natives of
Alaska are descendants of the race of
people that Cortes drove out of Mexico.
others that they are Japanese or Chinese
in origin, and others still that they
came to this country across the strait
from Siberia. SO far rs definite infor-
nation Is concerned, ono guess is as
good as another. Tho lonely mounds
at Point Barrow mark tho antiquity of
the race, but they do not tell its story.
