Tale Of kanaka Brutality.

This tale comes from New Gale
donia, where a ship was loading M
with natives to work in Australia
There was o man and a girl-a young
couple they seemed. She had a
youngster who began yelling at sight
of the boat Cant take that young,
ster!' the boss shouted. The woman
said she wanted to come, too. No
We can't ship that squaling little
beast. Leave him with his auntie.
There was no auntie in sight. So the
Kanaka man. after taking a look
around, caught the kiddy by the heels,
swung her around like a rabbit and
dashed her head against tree. She
was only a girl anyway he said, and
slung her body into the scrub. Then
they both hoped into the boat and
were shipped aboard"

Hill City. S. D., Dec. 1~3.-Interest CEN

association of the Black Hills, which
was recently organized by ranch own
ers of the central and southern Hills.
When the government set aside the
Black Hills forest reserve as a public
domain. it virtually took away the right
of ownership for a good many ranches
scattered throughout the gulches. The
owners of these ranches had made
placer locations, expecting to obtain
their ground under the placer law and
in this way get possession. There were
several hundred, however, h at the
time the reserve was set aside, Septem-
Der 10, 1898, had not proved up on their
holdings and the reserve law virtually
demanded that the ranches be aban-
doned. A special act of congress was
obtained which made it possible for
those who had made these placer loca-
lions prior to September 10. 1895. to
prove up on them as homesteads. This
was done in a good many cases, but at
he present time there are several nun
dred ranch owners who have no way

The contractors have been necessarily

er which has been experienced at in
terNals thus far this winter. This has
resulted in the stopping of work on a
considerable portion of the inlet canal.
Work was discontinued during the cold
est days. with the intention of resum-
ing again when conditions were more
favorable, but when the Weather had
temporarily moderated and efforts were
made to resume work it was found
that the earth had been frozen to such
u depth that it was almost impossible
to proceed.
AS a result, most of the teams and
laborers on the main portion Of the
canal have been laid off, and indica-
tons are that so far as work on the
main portion of the canal is concerned
1t will not be resumed again in full
force until the frost is out of the
ground next spring.
The work. however, is now quite we'll
advanced. and as the contractors have
been granted an extension of time in
which to complete the work, two
months of good weather in the spring
Will enable them to practically COM
plete the inlet canal. Work is still
progressing with the steam shovels in

they can be kept in operation all Win

The work of hauling material for the

time spring opens up all the necessary
material for its completion will be on
the ground. About one-half the con-
crete work has now been completed,
but it is probable nc further attempt at
concrete work will be made until next
spring. The contractors who have his
