Billings, June "a. 1900.
Postmaster Babcock received word Sat-
urday that the free mail delivery system
would be inaugurated in Billings the first
OF next October. The delay is caused BY
the Work necessitated in establishing the
system. An examining commission, COM
posed OF three persons-One from a classi-
NED pOstOff1ce, either Helena or Butte, and
the other two from Billings-must be ap-
pointed and hold a civil service examination
the reports are made up they will be SUBJ
mitted to the first assistant postmaster
general, who, after looking them over, will
make his recommendations for two regular
carriers and a substitute. After the ap-
pointments have been made, and, during
the latter part Of September, the 10 letter
boxes will have to be put up about the
city.

unfortunates were up before the

were inquiring into their sanity. They
were Jerry Driscoll and A. D. L.. Jennes.
Driscoll had been in Jail several weeks,
having stopped off here while en- route to
his home In Boston, his money having run
out. since then an uncle in Washington
sent hin $50 with which to buy a ticket,

county thought it best to send him to the

Discovery.

A community that still lives in the
Stone Age, knowing no metals, and un
til a few months ago having never seen a
white man, is among the latest discove-
ries.
On a lonely island in Hudson Bay, a
piece of land nearly as big as the state of
Maine, these people-a tribe of Eskimo
have lived without intercourse with any
human being for centuries. Their hous-
es are built of the skulls of whales, being
made by putting together the great jaws
of eight whales which are covered with
skins. Their lamps are an open dish of
whale or seal oil, with a wick of
dry moss soaked in fat.
The making of these lamps is not an
easy matter. Southampton Island, the
home of the tribe. possesses no soap
stone, the material used by other Es-
kimos for pots, kettle and lamps, conse-
quentiy the people have to make such
receptacAes in slabs of limestone glued
together with a mixture of grease and
deer's blood.
A strait about thirty miles broad
separates Southampton Island from the
western shores of Hudson Bay, where
there is a colony of Eskimos, and once in
a very long while it freezes clear across.
This happened, it is said, seventy-fve
years ago, and then a few hunters came
over from the island to the mainland.
where they were much surprised to en-
counter other human beings.
The tribe consists of about ffty-eight
individuals, about equally divided as to
sex, the dialect is peculiar to the island.
Whalebone is the material upon which
these people depend upon fashioning all
necessary articles. They even make cups
and buckets of it by bending it into
rounded shapes and sewing on the bot
toms. They manufacture toboggan-like
sleds of it, and make sledges of pairs of
walrus tusks for runners and deer ant.
lers for cross pieces.
They are most daring hunters. Their
harpoons and arrows are armed with
flint points Clipped out with bone in.
struments. They possess no article
which has been introduced into Ameri.
ca since the coming of Columbus. Fire
they obtain by means of the familiar
oow-drill, which is such an old contriv.
ance that it was commonly used in am
:ient Egypt.

sheep men that have not been in town
for the past month showed up this week
and are well pleased with the turnout of
lambs.
Henry Raglin and wife were in town
Sunday for the purpose of getting sup
plies for shearing at Sweet Grass sta
ton, it being the intention of some of
the sheep men to start shearing on the
first of June, on account Of the season
being a month earlier than usual.
Chas. Moberly's team made things
lively Thursday by starting for home
without leave. They ran at full speed
down Main street and turned the corner
at Guth's store and then ran in front of
their stable and took to the hills, where
they upset the wagon and got loose from
it, and finally wound up at Escallier's
sheep sheds without doing any more
damage than a broken wagon reach.

THE Democracy is SO devoted to free
trade that the small temporary duty i'm
posed on imports from Porto Rico is de-
nounced as a national disgrace. Were
that party to gain control of the govern

trade between the United States and
Europe, SO that everything we bought
with the cheap money it promises us
would "be made in Germany, England or
any other old place" rather than in the
United States.
