Portland, Jan. 23.-Lewis and
Clark matters are progressing most
favorably. Commissioners Knapp
in st Louis, McIsaac in Montana
and Holman in California, are
doing good work. Before leaving
Salt Lake City Mr. McIsaac obtai-
ned assurance that the Utah Leg
islature would appropriate perhaps
$4,000, instead Of $1o,ooo, for the
fair. The passage Of the $500. .oco
appropriation of the Oregon Leg
islature has made the work Of the
commissioners much easier, and
congratuiatory kilograms from al
most every state west Of the Missis-
ippi River are pouring into Secre-

ch,nery. When, however. it was pro-
posed TO utilize the speed and force
of the Hudson river and to turn them
into the power that lights towns, runs
street railways and vitalizes factory
plants the problem was a different
one. The river was there, but the
fall had to be created, and 10 do this
1t would be necessary to build one
of the largest dams ever constructed
a wall, in fact. 1.400 feet long and 49,
feet high. at certain points. No such
barrier, great or small, had ever beer
placed across river of volume anl

now been successfully accomplished.

SEEING a Ghost.

When you think you see ghost
how can you tell whether it really is
a ghost or not? A recent writer gives
the following scientific method: I've
assume that a person sees an appafi-
ton; it may be objective ii. e., hAv-
ing existence outside the observers
mind, or merely a creature of a dis
ordered brain (subjective). The seer,
while looking at the vision with both
his eyes, gently depresses one eyeball
with his forefinger, from outside the
top eyelid ESQ causing a squint). If
objective whether bogus or no0 two
outlines of the ghost will be seen;
but one (of course) if it be subjective.
One may prove this by trial, any time,
with any object, near or far. l men
ton this because of the many nervous
and brain-wearied people who see
spooks, and to whom it would be bet
ter that they should know that the
trouble is within themselves, and so
seek a capable doctor, than continue
to be haunted, as they believe. by the
supernatural"

An Indians Gratitude

men went about their work in a way
that proved they were no novices.
OF all this Sam Augustus was in
profound ignorance. He and Mrs. Sam
were now the only Inhabitants of Geor-
gina island, the half dozen other In
dams who comprised the normal pop
ulation being away with some wild
west show. For many moons Sam had
remained at home with his wife, fight
ing manfully against his lust for drink,
but at last a day came when Sam de-
cided that he must yield or die. So
with the setting sun he strapped on
his skates and started over the ice to
Beaverton.
He was passing a little cove on that
side of the island farthest from his
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-03-14

Sam Augustus was of the Algonquin
tribe, typical Indian of these days of
reserve tions-lazy, shiftless and ad-
d1cted to strong drink. AS an Indian
he was more or less despised by the
white men with whom he came in
conta.t, but was much too easy-going
to be disturbed by that. The pOssessor
of small farm on Georgina Island,
he WIS far true to the traditions of
his lcestors as to allow Mrs. Sam All
gust1ls to earn his living for him,
which she cheerfully did. reaping har-
vest in the summer time by weaving
BASKETS of sweet grass and reeds for
the holiday seekers who annually Wis
tied Beaverton.
z beaverton was the most picturesque
spot on the shores of Lake Sfmcoe,
but Sam Augustus, on the occasions
of his periodical visits to the main
1ai d, never stopped to contemplate its
various points of interest. There was
but one attraction in the place for
him, and that, it must be confessed
with shame, was the barroom of the
Alexandra house.
Sans visits to Beaverton, or, to be
.ore exact, to the Alexandra house,
usually terminated in his crawling IL
to the loft of the hotel stable, there
TO sleep off the effects of the potent
fire water he had imbibed. But on
Saturday night in June he enjoyed a
novel experience.
Paul Wilson had come to the mill
that day with load of grain and had
converted the grain not into flour, but
into greasy bits of paper which he
deemed far more useful. Then, as he
was consumed with great thirst and,
moreover, had the wherewithal to
Stake it, he naturally turned his team
toward the Alexandra house. Matters
following in logical sequence, Paul
Wilson developed ere night into a
drunken bully. with Sam Augustus the
especial object of his hectoring. Sam,
indeed, was in a fair way to get the
beating of his life when Ed Daletou
interfcred.
Daleton interfered to such an ex-
tent that Paul was escorted to the vii
1age hospital, while Sam Augustus
ready by that time to consent to any
proposal, acceded to Daleton's request
to go home with him and in the morn
ing join the haymakers on the Daleton
estate.
An hour later found Sam tucked in
to the most comfortable bed he had
ever known. Ere morning came, how
ever, the bed was empty. The Indian
had already repented his rash promise
to go to work. Still, he took away
nothing but himself and his dirty
clothes, whereupon Daleton argued, he
must have felt at least half way CRATE
full.
The summer days passed away and
the autumn shadows heightened into
the blackness Of winter, but Sam Au-
gustus had not once appeared at the
