There Is an odd feature In the theOl-
ogy Of the small Indian tribe of the
Bella Coola, which inhabit British CO.
lumbia in about latitude 81. They be-
lieve that there are five worlds. one
above the other, and the middle one Is
our own world. the earth. Above it
are two heavens. and under ii are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven Is
the supreme deity, who Is a woman,
and she doesn't NEEDLE much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith Is the center Of the lower
heaven, and here is the house Of the
gods, in which live the sun and the rest
of the deities.
Our own earth is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth Is
inhabited by ghosts who can return
when they wish to heaven. from which
place they may be sent down to our
earth. If then they misbehave again.
they are cast into the lower Of the un-
derworlds, and from this bourne no
ghostly traveller returns.
The Bella COola are sun worshipers,
for Senex, the sun, the master Of the
house Of gods, who also Is called "the
father" and 1.-The sacred one," Is the on
~ deity to whom the tribe pray. Each
family Of the Bella Coda has its own
traditions and its own form of the cur
rent traditions. SO that In the mytholo-
gy Of the tribe there are countless
contradictions. When any one not a
member Of clan tries to tell tradi-
ton which does not belong to his clan.
1t is like white man trying 70 tell
another's joke-he Is considered as ap-
propriating the property right which
does not belong to him.

When California Was Unknown.

In an old geography printed in 1915
appears the following: "California Is a
wild and almost unknown land.
Throughout the year it Is covered with
dense fogs. as damp as unhealthful.
In the interior are volcanoes and vast
plains of shifting SHOWS, which some
times shoot columns to great heights.
This would seem nearly incredible
were it not for the we'll authenticated
accounts Of travellers"

MAJOR LAcEsvs BIRD LAW.
In Operation Year With Noticeable
Results In Game Protection.

=
Results In Game Protection.
Washington, March S.-Representa-
tive Lacey's bill for the protection of
game has been in operation about
a year, and the reportsS received by
him indicate that it has Seen very eff
fective in the preservation of bird and
animal life. 81 have not had any Off
cial reports on the operation OF the
law, but 1 have had many letters from
men who worked with me toFbave the
law enacted. In the northwest the
indiscriminate killing of deer aud 9th
er game has been checked. Quail
shooting in the closed season has
been checked and other game birds
have been protected, and now have I'm
opportunity to multiply and preserve
their species, something which was
very doubtful under the old condi-
ton
"The most pronounced effect of the
law. however, has been to prevent the
wanton slaughter of sea birds along
the coast for their plummage. In one
case the authorities refused to allow
the landing of a consignment of 10000
bird carcasses whose wings were to
be used as hat trimmings. This was
when the law was first enforced.
Since that time the attempts to bring
these birds into the United States
have practically ceased, and many of
the men engaged in their killing have
gone out of business. These birds are
the natural scavengers of the harbors
along our coasts and can now per-
form their natural functions without
molestation from the pot-hunters.
Taking it altogether, the law has been
rigidly enforced and it has accom-
plished the object which was sought
by it's projectors-the protection Of
wild animals and BIRDS"

A NEW INDUSTRY.
ottumwa Gets the Nichols Manufac.
turing Company.

IuTIH9 SOIIiPdiJ'
Ottumwa is to have another large
manufacturing concern. Arrange
ments have been completed by which
the Nichols Square company Is to oc-
cupy the room formerly used by the
Union Iron works on West Main street
and as soon as the factory can be got
ten ready operations will be begun.
Mr.. Nichols is now in Bridgepor
Conn, where he has purchased the
machinery of the Bridgeport Power
company, and is packing it, and pre-
pairing it for shipment here. 1t is ex-
pected to have everything ready and
the actual manufacture OF the square
will be started in not more than four
weeks. The plant will employ from
between 5 to 20 men to start with and
as the square is introduced to the trade
it is expected to increase the force
from time to time.
This product is something that was
only recently patented by Mr.. Nichols,
and in the short timeiit has been plac-
ed on the market it has proven a great
success. He has interested a number
of Ottumwa citizens with him and a
company with a capital stock Of
$4,000 was formed. At first arrange
ments were completed with an eastern
concern to manufacture the square,
but it was soon found that it was not
satisfactory, as they could not get the
articles here as fast as they were or
dered. Negotiations were at once
started looking to the establishment
of plant in Ottumwa, and the above
announcement is the result.
Mr.. Nichols left for the east about
two weeks ago to cast about for ma
chinery, and he soon purchased the
| Bridgeport concern. He will return
as soon as he gets the machinery all
packed, and will bring with him sever
al skilled mechanics who will take
charge of the factory here. The bal
ance of the labor will be employed in
Ottumwa. Work will be started at
once preparing the room where the
factory is to be located, and get it pre-
pared for the machinery.
The article manufactured is a new
framing square, or more especially an
improvement over other squares. The
board measure having been replaced
by a simple rule for framing; by look.
ing under the figure the roof raises to
the foot is given. 1t gives the length
and figures on the cuts for all the roof,
and also cuts for cornices.

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexing-
ton, KY, when they saw he was turn
ing yellow. His skin slowly changed
color, also his eyes, and he suffered
terribly. His malady was Yellow
Jaundice. He was treated by the best
doctors, but without benefit. Then he
was advised to try Electric Bitters,
the wonderful Stomach and Liver
remedy, and he writes: after taking
two bottles | was wholly cured" A
trial proves its matchless merit for all
Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles.

HAS COME TO STAY.
Rural Free Delivery Is An Estab-
iished Institution.

lSnSQ tnStlGuCIOn.
The government printing Office has
recently issued a pamphlet which car
ries on it's title page the announcement
and assurances of the permanency of
the rural free delivery service. 1t con-
tains extracts from the presidents
message to the second session of the
Fifty-siXth congress and from the re-
ports of the postmaster-general and
his first assistant and points to the re-
concentrations contained in these re-
ports that there may be no misunder-
standing in regard to the continuance
Of rural delivery as a permanent sys-
TEN of postal administration
The special agents on the western
division report that on their territory
which comprises all of the United
States west OF the Mississippi river,
with the exception of the states of
Minnesota, Missouri and Louisiana, in
dicata that in Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas the development of the SER
vice has been such that its universal
adaptability to the rural conditions
of these states seems to be impera-
lively required. In the opinion of the
agent in charge this will call for re-
adjustment of routes. Routes origi-
nally laid where an isolated service
was called for, now conflict with
those demanded later and he urges
that, in view of the certainty of the
general extention of the service, that
every route to be established should
be considered as part of the coming
general system. The later routes
should be laid with a view to other
routes and older routes adjusted to
meet the requirements of a logical,
systematic business delivery of rural
mail
The last report of the postmaster
general states that rural delivery is
past the experimental stage and the
future of this branch of the service
can hardly be imagined. 1t will likely
result eventually in the discontinue
ance of hundreds and thousands of
the village postoffices. The carriers
of course have vehicles and they car
ry all of the supplies found in post
office. The routes are twenty-five
miles in length and not less than.
hundred houses must be situated on
a route. The instructions are to es-
tablish routes on a basis looking to
their permanency.
The service has proved to be quite
expensive and is madea matter of con-
graduation. The examples are given
from each of the four divisions of the
free delivery in these localities. A
two rural postoffices and star route
thai had cost total Of s462.s7. In
this case the net cost of rural service
