LoNe-DlsTANcE sign TALK.

Smoke Pillars and Fiery Arrows Were
Indian Methods of Communication.
Talking by smoke was one of the
means of communication upon the
American plains In the early days of
travel. This kind OF talk soon became
ineligible to the traveller, so that he
understood the significance Of the
spires of smoke which he sometimes
saw rising from distant ridge or hill,
and answered in kind from a different
direction. 1t was the signal talk of
the Indians across miles of intervening
country, and was used in rallying the
warriors for an attack, or in warning
them of retreat when that seemed
necessary.
The Indian had a way of sending up
the smoke in rings and puffs, knowing
that such column would at once be
noticed and understood to be a signal,
and not the smoke from some ordinary
campfire,
The rings were made by covering the
fire with blanket for a moment, then
suddenly removing the blanket and al
lowing the smoke to ascend, when the
fire was instantly covered up again.
The column of ascending smoke rings
said to every Indian within a circle Of
perhaps twenty or thirty miles: "Look
out, there is an enemy near"
A writer in the Chicago Tribune ex.
plains that three smokes built close to-
gether meant danger. One smoke sim.
ply said, Attention" Two meant,
Camp at this place"
To one who has travelled upon the
plains the usefulness of this long-dis.
tance telephone becomes at once ap-
parent. Sometimes at night the trav-
eler saw fiery lines crossing the sky,
shooting up and falling, perhaps taking
a direction diagonal to the line Of vi.
sion.
If he was an old-timer he might in.
terpret the signals, and know that one
fire-arrow-an arrow prepared by treat
ing the head of the shaft with gun,
powder and fine bark-meant the same
as the column of smoke puffs, namely
IAN enemy is near" Two flre-arrows
meant Danger" Three arrows said
This danger is great" Several ar
rows said, 1.-THE enemy are too many
for u.s." Two arrows shot up into the
air at once meant, I'VE shall attack
Three at once said. "We attack now
Thus the untutored savage could tele
phone as well at night as by day.

made that a strong fight be made on
the floor of the next national congress

be made to secure more liberal federal
appropriations for the Hawaiian is

The question arises out OF the fact
that the new law changing the time OF
leyying taxes goes into effect January

the present system will not be made
until later In that month, when the
county courts hold their regular seq
sions. Under the present system the
assessment Is made in one year. the
levy made the following January and
the taxes collected in April.
The last legislature in response to
quite general demand, changed the
time OF payment from spring 70 the
preceding fall and provided that the
assessment should be made prior to
July l, the levy be made in September
and the taxes be collected before De

vided that the levy should be made in
January and the new law fixing the
time In September will 60 into effect

The farmer generally was not appre-

dairying became promising occupa-
