Graves to Be Searched.
ITO determine the people who in.

Council Bluffs, it will be necessary to
make a large collection of the stone
implements and weapons from the
graves" said Mr.. Blackman. 1T yet
remains for some one to make this
collection and to give the village a
systematic study. The town was not
in existence when the Lewis and Clark
expedition passed up the Missouri in
1904. There have been no traces OF
white mems trinkets found in the
graves, and from the appearance Of
pottery found I believe the date Of it's
desertion could not have been later
than 100.

winter.
That night he sleeps in the poorest
room in the hotel of the numbering
town and pays double price for it.
Next morning he walks over, the
tote road" to the camp, turns his
tickets over to the clerk and becomes
an employee. In the interval between
this and his going to work, never over
a day, he sits by the bunk stove and
swaps yarns with the camp employees.
A moral man from this time on is he.
He recites the old story of big falls
wages squandered, loads his pipe and
laconically announces that he is going
to "stay in" till "she breaks up in the

horny hand to his face, draws it
thoughtfully across his mouth and ex-
pectorates against the wind.
His First Days Work.
Next morning he hears the cookee
softly arouse the teamsters at 5
o'clock. He turns in his bunk and
sleeps another half hour until the
cooks sonorous blast on the camp
horn awakens him to the fact that
this is the day he goes to work for $26
a month. He eats hearty breakfast
of bacon, fried potatoes and cakes,
cooked in a manner that would appal
a less vigorous digestion, shoulders his
axe and trudges off to the woods. He
is happy.

the monarch of perhaps a century is
laid low. Then comes the swamper.
He swamps a road to the tree for the
skid team, bark marks it, removes the
protruding limbs and proceeds to the
next. The skid teamster clucks to his
patient horses. They swing mechan-
ically into position. The chains are
adjusted and the log gets its first start
on long journey towards the market.
Later it is skidded to position in the
skid pile. After that come the leaders
and the bunk sleighs to haul it to the

She knew she would have use for it as
the season advanced, for Immediately
after holiday work was completed began
the renewed craze for cross-stitch en-

the nonce, the modistes are willing to
make use Of the skill and taste of their
