SANDAlw0OD.



Erromango Is one Of the Iaroo- &.
lAnus OF the New Hebrides. from

quantities Of sandalwood. The care

ene forests reduced the product. nntil
now unere Is very little valuable wood
on the island. Rev. II. A. Robertson
IN Erromango. the Martyr Islev gives
brief history Of the sandalwood
trade. oou
The Erromangans for oanaro+,ors
USED the sandalwood as they would
any other, for fuel, and had no idea
Oh Its value until foreigners came and
asked for 1t. The only price that was
at nrst given was a small bit OF hoon-
iron' from three to four inches in
length, and this for a great boat load
OF wood. The savages were greatly
taken with the iron, for by sharpening
II on stone and fastening 1t to a
piece Of wood they made themselves
rough, light hatchets. Before that they
mad nothing but their ancient imple-
ments Of stone with which to work.

OF the olden times on Erromango. and

trees for their houses and canoes.
Every tree had to be burned at the
base, and when that was done there

gan method Of hewing wood. and the
sandalwood had TO be cut in this way.
The ships carried great lengths of
hoop-iron bound together. Amid the
babble of voices from swarms OF
naked, painted savages clamoring for
their pay, and the confusion and shout
ings that arose as the huge logs were
swung into place, there could be heard
the click Of the hammer as it struck
the anvil; the iron was being cut into
the coveted lengths.
After the logs were burned and cut
down, they were carried to the pay
on mems shoulders. The biggest log:
had to be dragged down the rocky
mountain tracks.
At the present time the sandalwooC

NOT WHAT 1T USED TO BE.
Traffic on the Mississippi Has Expert
enced a Decline in Recent Years.

Traffic on the Mississippi Has Expert
enced a Decline in Recent Years.
The best days of the Mississippi
River traffic are long since past and
the scenes that once endeared that
stream have apparently gone never to
return.
The best year for steamboat bust
ness on the Mississippi is said to have
been the one Immediately before the
outbreak of the Civil War, says Mr..
Chittenden in the World To-day. Dur
ing that conflict, until the North gain
ed control of the river, commercial
boating below the mouth Of the Ohio
was broken up entirely. On the Mis-
souri, a new source of business sprang
I'D in the early years of the war by
the discovery of gold at the head
waters of that stream. Then began
that most remarkable episode in the
history of river navigation. the send
ing Of cargoes from St Louis to the
base of the Rocky Mountains, more
than 1000 miles distant and half a
mile vertically upward.
Long before the steamboat business
on the Mississippi and its tributaries
had reached its maximum the forces
which were to accomplish its ruin had
hegun TO operate. The beginning or
practical railroading followed many
wears after that Of steamboating, but
when it once got well under way ITS
progress and development rapidly out
stripped those of its older rivals. Here
was steam engine that could go with
its load anywhere. 1t did not nave
70 follow water courses. 1t could
climb mountains If they were In It's
way. 1t could serve the inland town
as well as the river port. Its speed
was four times or more that OF the
steamboat 1t was not put out OF
commission by the winters ice, ou'
served the public the year round.
CLEARLY. the steamboat stood little
show in its struggle with a rival ike
this.
For many years. from one cause
and another, the boats held their own
but finally the railroads got the up
nor hand. and their vast development
IN the twenty years following the
Cixil War practically drove the steam
hoat business from the rivers.
The commercial interests OF thu
country have always looked win re
gret upon the disappearance OF tn'
steamboat. There is deep-roote'
conviction that our rivers have SOM
value In the commercial economy o
the country. as regulators Of freigh
rates II nothing more. and there ha
been a strenuous effort to maintail
active navigation. There is hopeful
