FOLLOWING THE ESQUIMAU EX-
AMPLE

1T is only reasonable to assume that
these people, having lived for genera
tons under the severe conditions of the
Arctic lands, have evolved the best
methods of meeting the needs of their
daily existence Everything they eat
or wear, and everything in the way of
sledges or other equipments which they
possess, they have proved by long ex-
perfence to be the most suitable arti-
cles of their respective kinds. All their
thought is directed toward the improve
ment of these few things. which rep
resent to them not only the necessaries.
but the comforts and luxuries of life,
so far as they can understand those
terms.
The explorer learns, by following
their habits Of eating, to get along in
many places with no canned food what
ever. l make only slight changes in
the ordinary Esquimau costume to
adapt it to my own and my compan-
ions use. In my sledges l found that
the Esquimau ideas of building could
not be improved upon, when the sledges
were to be used under the conditions
familiar to these people. Of course.
when ii came to travelling over the
rough, inland ice where the Esquimaus
are not accustomed to go, / had to
make certain notifications in the
sledges, but the general plan was not
altered. The igloos, or snow huts of
the Esquinau pattern. were also used
by us on our journeys where there was
need of constructing a shelter, and I
should do the same again.

that T firmly believe a great deal of
travelling could be done, even in the
intervals between the rloons. in the

Polar night. and by adhering closely to
E.squimau customs and living in the
kind of snow huts they make. there
is no reason to my mind. why it cannot
be done to a great extent. This would
save much time. and offer better
chances of reaching the Pole without
long delays

outfitted for war save in naval lines.
Her population is ill-trained in soldier
ly arts, and they are not armed very
effectively. Turkey, on the other
hand has a considerably army, the
best of arms, and very capable COM
manders. But these can only reach
Greece by passing through lands Tur-
key holds by subjugation of the people
and who, hating the Turk, consider
themselves in bondage to him.
If, therefore, Turkey retaliates upon
Greece from that side, these half-en-
shaved people will be likely to rise and
join with Greece. In that case the
East will be involved in a war of mo-
mentous Importance, one in which
American sympathy will go out against
the Turk and to the Grecians, and very
properly so, despite the philosophizing Of
f. Hopkinson Smith, or any others who
find much to admire in the character of
the Sultan and of the Turkish nation.
Since the foregoing was written, late
powers may interfere in the Cretan
question so far as to forbid Greece to
invade the island, but not to hold her
back in preventing the Turks from re-
inforcing their troops in Crete. The
dispatches indicate also that England
is far more concerned about the re-
forms she is endeavoring to force upon
the Porte affecting the Armenians
to Crete.
But as an advance upon the Grecian
border by Turkey, and an invasion OF
Thessaly by Turkey would certainly
lying between the seat of Ottoman
power and the Grecian border to rise
in revolt, and thus put an end by war
10 the reform movement on the part
of Turkey, it is thought possible that
England may prevent both Turkey and
Greece from taking any steps that will
bring on such a situation.
There is nothing in the late dis
patches TO 1nQlcaLe InaL OeflfldHy,
France or Austria are concerning
themselves in the present trouble. One
telegram mentions renewed activity
among the military forces of Russia,
but these are said to relate to defensive
operations only, though it is difficult
TO understand against whom Russia
thinks it necessary to defend.
AS matters now stand in light of lat
est adyices, it is probable that Cretan
independence will be accomplished; !;
that the credit for it will be given to
Greece; that the Sultan will withdraw
his forces from Crete and will not in
wade Thessaly, because the powers will
advise him to these ends; and will
warn him against precipitating a con-
fiict on the Thessalonian border as that
would unquestionably result in a gen.
eral Belkan rising, and involve the en-
tire East in war.

SOME OF THE REASON S
WHY A TUNNEL SHOULD DE CON
STRUCTED
Under the International and Great
Northern Railway Track Mt the
Congress Avenue Crossing.

One OF the city aldermen assigns the fol-
lowing very oogent reasons why it would be
not only beneficial to the city and to the
International and Great Northern Railroad
company, but economical to the latter COM
pany to place tunnel under its tracks at
the crossing OF Congress avenue Just be-
yond its depot This alderman figures out
that the total cost Of a tunnel would rot
exceed $50, 900 the Interest on which amount
(say at 8 per cent? would be $1,000 per
annum, while the railway company now
employs two watchmen to guard this point.
to whom they pay $50 per month each. and
whose services would be dispensed with in
the event OF building a tunnel. This ex-
pense of 1920 a year for watchmen's SER
vices would be eliminated. which is more
than the interest on the money necessary
for the building OF the tunnel.
From an economic point OF view 1t Is
maintained that in addition to this. the ac-
tual loss OF time to train crews in switch
ing, etc, In the yards over this crossing.
where they have to stop for vehicles, etc.,
is not less than $4,000 per annum.
This proposed tunnel could oe construct
cd without causing any damage - abUti-
ing property, and 1t would certainly re-
lieve the railroad company OF what is rev
a constant menace to lives and limbs OF
the hundreds of persons who cross these
tracks daily in coming and going from the
city on the Harrisburg road.
The railroad company should further con-
slider that 1t has two streets OF the city
completely blocked by its depot grounds,
etc, viz: Congress and Franklin and that
1t Is not required to pay any taxes on these
streets thus occupied. In fact there are no
streets open between Walker avenue and
the bayou that are safe to cross. Congress
and Franklin, as before stated. being COM
pleteiy closed
Considered from the standpoint of bene
fit to the city. this proposed Improvement.
1t is maintained, would increase he value
of property beyond the tunnel to such en-
extent that IL would result III Il very large
increase in taxes.
The recent completion of the Hill street
bridge and the proposed pavement of Buf-
falo street from the end Of the tunnel 10
this bridge would make it the popular road
way TO the Fifth ward over that bridge. ard
would largely Increase the travel in that
direction.

nishing this data. ''are some of the many
reasons why this tunnel should De con-

national and Great Northern should under

DECORATION OF THE GRAVES.
All Saints Day at GIenwood Gene
terry.


One OF the chief observanoes OF All
Saints day was the decoration Of graves
OF the dead. All day yesterday people
thronged the grounds at Glenwood cema-
terry. and each one of the multitude bore
a loving and beautiful floral tribute to the
dead.
AS early as I o'clock in the morning
people could be seen occupied in this offer
ing OF love to the departed. and by noon
the transformation at the cemetery seemed
almost magical for while in the gray OF
morning the grounds were dreary and
gloomy and only Inhabited by the bones Of
the dead, later in the day they presented
the picture OF an extensive and beautiful
flower garden Every flower that South
Texas produces was present In lavish
abundance; and none Of tho dead were for
gotten. Some there may have been who
had no friends there who had known and
remembered them; but there were loving
hearts there. whose breasts were filled
with the milk Of human kindness, and who
remembered that every grave was the
resting place OF some loved one, and each
one received an offering OF flowers. and
perhaps a tear.
