MANIToBA'S PREMIER INCoGNITo.
MIR. Greenway was in Dakota and Seemed
to be q Plain Citizen.

HAFs IRE enWay was IN dakota and Seem ed
to be a Plain Citizen.
About one year ago a respected citizen
of a small town in North Dakota walked
into the hotel with his wife for the noon
day meal. He saw at his table two
strangers, one q young man, pretty we'll
dressed, and the other, evidently 4
farmer, about 60 years of age, with u
gray, rough beard and well-worn and i'll
fitting clothing. Little attention was
paid to the pair, beyond Il hasty scru-
tiny. The citizen and his wife were
thinking of taking a trip to a lake IN
Manitoba. near Crystal City, for 4 few
days, and were talking about the trip,
inquiring how long the fishing would be
good, etc, questions which those who
were talking seemed unable to answer
The old farmer spoke up, and, venturing
to explain that he lived quite near the
lake, told all about the situations there,
where to go, at whose house to stop aud
other needed information. Little else
was said, but the impression made on
the citizen and wife was not sufficient to
cause them to make very much inquiry,
and no one about the hotel knew who
the two men were.
well, he seemed like a nice old fell

The next day the citizen met his
friend, the liveryman, who said:
by the way, did you see Premier
Greenway of Manitoba when he was
here yesterday? His driver brought HIM
down here from Crystal City, where he
lives, you know, to catch the train for
st. Paul and then to go to Ottawa, rs he
was in hurry to 60 He said he
thought Greenway was called there to

DRIVING DOG TEAMS.
Great Dexterity of the Drivers in the Use
of the Long-Lash Whip.


of the Long-Lash Whip.
Well, here we are down on the ice,
and the dogs impatient to start. Let me
describe. The sled consists of narrow
box four feet long. the front half being
covered or boxed in, mounted on a floor
eight feet long resting on runners. In
this box the passenger sits, wrapped in
rabbit skins so that he can hardly move,
his head and shoulders only projecting.
In front and behind and on top of the
box is placed all the luggage, covered
with canvas and securely dashed, to with
stand all the jolting and possible upsets.
and our SnOWshOeS within easy rea Oh.
An important item is the dogwhip, ter
rible to the dog if used by skillful hand
and terrible to the user if he be a novice;
for he is sure to half strange himself or
to hurt his own face with the business
end of the lash. The whip measured
had handle nine inches long and lash
thirty feet, and weighed four pounds
The lash was of folded and plated seal
hide, and for five feet from the handle
measured five inches around, then for
fourteen feet it gradually tapered off,
ending IN single thong half an inch
thick and eleven feet long. Wonderful
the deXterity with which a driver can
pick out dog and almost spot on a
dog with this lash. The lash must be
trailing at full length behind, when q
Jerk and turn of the wrist cause it to fly
forward, the thick part first, and the
tapering end continuing The motion till it
is at full length in front. and the lash
making the fur fly from the victim. But
often it is made to crack over the heads
OF the dogs as a warning.
The eleven dogs were harnessed to the
front of the sled, each by a separate
thong of seal hide, all of different lengths,
fastened to light canvas harness. The
nearest dog was about fifteen feet from
the sled, and the leader, with bells on her,
about fifty feet, the thongs thus increas-
ing in length by about three feet When
the going is good the dogs spread out like
the fingers of hand, but when the snow
is deep they fall into each others tracks
in almost single file. AS they continually
cross and recross each other. the thongs
get gradually plated almost up to the
rearmost dog, when a halt is called, the
dogs are made to lie down. and the driver
carefully disentangles them, taking care
that no dog gets away meanwhile. They
are guided by the voice, using ''husky,"
that is, Eskimo words: '"'Owk,' go to
the right; ''arrah,' to the left. and ''holt. -
straight on. But often one of the men
must run ahead on snowshoes for the
dogs to follow him.-London (Ont9

The Deepest OIL Well.

While a we'll was being drilled for the
Forest Oil company near West Elizabeth
the crown pulley gave way, leaving the
tools and more than 5000 feet of rope
in the well. If the tools and rope can
be recovered, the well will be cut down
to the depth of 5000 feet. If they should
not be successful, its record. at its
present depth, will stand as the deepest
