PROSPEROUS SEASON ON THE CANALS
INCREASE IN BUSINESS HAS CONTINUED
STEADILY.

Albany Oct. 25-The tonnage of the canals for
the third week in October was lS5.4Ol which shows
that the increase in canal shipments which was
evident the beginning of the season has con-
tinued up the present time. The total tonnage
for the same period last year 111.4S1, In
crease of 1880 tons The increased shipment is
largely in grain, that of wheat being 925 this
year. as against 25S9 last year: 1861 of
barley against 445I last year. and 1850
of oats this year, against only go tons last
year. There has also been an increased lumber
shipment. and decrease In the shipment of btu
minous coal, while there has been increase in
the shipment of anthracite coal The canal lock-
ages for the last month have exceeded the lock-
ages of any previous month for some years. and
they plainly show that every boat of seaworthy
condition and having any carrying capacity what
soever has been brought into commission.

USE OF TINE.

The only use OF time is IN bringing the heart into
partnership with high principles. and thus rising
into fellowship with God. AS the Emperor Titus
said 81 have lost day" when he could think OF
no good action he had done during the suns cir
cult. We must judge ourselves in the blaze OF the
that every day is lost according to the heav-
enly notation. that has not been ennobled and spr
ituazed by the action Of some moral and celestial
quality, either In restraining passion, doing
something. giving something or cherishing some
devout sentiment, so that truth. a principle has
become Il ready guest. through Us, IA this

very fine specimens Of axes have been

Shards of Pottery.
But the most interesting specimens
found in the Nebraska field, and entirely
absent in the Kansas field, (Mr. Brewer
does not mention the fact, at least, and
he has published the very best account
of the Kansas field have seen) are the
shards of pottery aUith cloth impressions
on them These shards are strewn
thickly along the banks of many streams,
especially around Columbus and Fuller
ton.
At the Roca village I have found
abundance of these shards and sys.
tematical study of pottery in general
revealed these facts: The oldest known
specimens of black pottery, tempered
with quartz pebbles, mica, and pottery
shards are found in Scandinavia and
date back 5000 years B. q. The pottery
found here in the Roca village and also
at Columbus and Fullerton corresponds
in every minute detail with this early
Scandinavian pottery described by
Buche, and With no other. The Romans
made black ware but it was brittle
these specimens are remarkably well
preserved, when we consider that they
have withstood the constant cultivation
of the fields, where they are found, for
thirty years and are still firm and tough.
Specimens of this same ware are found
in many parts of eastern Nebraska in
great abundance.

mems of Scandinavia. have carefully
studied the chronological reports of the
Smithsonian Institution and compared
these specimens with tho numerous cuts
found there and give above the result
of that study. The Zuni pottery is
formed by coiling little roles of clay, one
on the other, to the desired shape and
size, and the tempering is invariably
sand. Buche tells us that the Scandi-
navian pottery was moulded in wicker
baskets, lined with cloth (and in some
cases, leaves or grass) to keep the clay
from sticking to the wicker work, then
feebly burned by placing the plastic
vessels in hole in the ground, or in
pile above ground, and piling branches,
grass, reeds, etc., around them and over
them. This black ware takes it's color
from the buffalo chips" used for fuel
by these Aborigines in lieu of wood-as
they were by the early settlers of the
west. These "chips" impart black
color to any clay burned with them,
which you may learn by experiment.
On some of the specimens found the
marks of hand are plainly visible on
the inside, showing that they were made
as Buche describes the Scandinavian
process. Now in the Kansas field not a
single mention is made of cloth i'm
pressions on the spe cimens of pottery
found but from the illustrations in Mr..
Brower's memoirs infer that grass was
used instead of cloth, probably because
of lack of this material among the
nomadic people. The handles, edges
and sides of these vessels were orna.
mented with geometrical designs by
making marks in the plastic clay. In
some cases the coarse material of the
vessel was coated, inside and out, with
coat of finer clay, which assumes a
brownish or blush tinge when burned
and which holds covering of fine sand
on the outside, but the inside coat is
pure clay and quite smooth.
These specimens are among the finest
ever found in America. They are very
unlike the pottery of eastern Iowa,
Ohio, or the Zuni pottery of New
Mexico, showing that the makers sprang
from very different stock. This
pottery forms very strong link con-

reaching fame than were the few
nomadic villages explored by Coronado.
But this is not all the evidence; the
documentary evidence existing is far
more definite and conclusive than any
account of the Coronado expedition.
Mr. Brewer in his memoirs, Quivera,
conclusively establishes the fact that
Coronado reached and explored the
Kansas field. with which conclusion we
heartily agree. In his second volume of
memoirs, Harahey, he continues to dis.
cuss the same location and Coronado.
These works are both very clear and
conclusive in the one field; could Mr..
Brewer have explored farther and
covered this Nebraska field, doubt not
he would agree with the tone of these
papers, He does not go far enough and
there is room now for new memoir. I
can plainly trace evidences shown in
both his books of greater civilization
farther north. In a private letter he
informs me that so many proofs were
discovered after he published Vol. I that
he was obliged to publish Vol. II,
Harahey. He locates Harahey adjacent
to Quivera on the north, from which
Coronado summoned the chief, who
came with two hundred naked follow
ers with their scalp locks ornamented
this was a common trait among warlike
Indians all over America and is noted
by many writer's.
We shall some day endeavor to present
proof that the people of Harahey were
the dividing line between the quiet,
pastoral people, north, and the more
warlike people, south. These people to
the south may have been branch Of
the same stock the best authorities call
the Wichita Indians the Pawnee picts

they branched from the original Pawnee
stock many years before the whites

Origin of the Pawnees.
The Pawnee Indians of Nebraska have
a tradition that they came from "down"
or as some authorities persist in saying,
south this is not true-"down' meant
down stream. Another version of the
same legend says they came from the
"rising sun" and that branch went
south or as the expression with the
Wichitas" in time designated the direc-
tion south, it has been so translated.
This branch was the Pawnee picts
or Wichitas as Mr.. Brower's memoir
seems to infer. Their contact with the
warlike people caused them to defend
themselves and they became warlike
from necessity, the frequent wars made
them nomadic and as the bison offered
