SHE CONTINUED HER GRINDING. her people, she herself had once ground after her task was done, as her daughter was now doing, to convey the inforwa- tion she was too bashful to give directly, that she was in love and had picked out the man she wanted for a husband. At last Nee-ta confided to her mother, who had sat down beside her. that her affec- tion for No-ko-mo, young Moqui who lived near by, had prompted her per- sistent grinding.
 When the evening meal had been dis patched the kind mother hastened to the home of No-ko-mo's parents with a handful of the meal her daughter had ground. Nee-ta waited anxiously to learn how the gift would be received, knowing that if it was refused her grinding had been in vain. Fortunately the mother of the young man hastened to accept the gift. and with gracious words asserted that no such properly ground meal had ever before left me- tate. A seant wedding ceremony soon followed. and No-ko-mo hastened home directly thereafter with his bride. On the following morning Nee-ta. who. in common with other Moqui maidens. had previously worn her hair in immense coils. one on each side of her head. appeared with her dark tresses tied in a knot at the back of her head. to indicate that she was now a married woman.
 No-ko-mo's father had built his home. according to the customs of his people, upon a first story of stone masonry. to serve as fortress in case of need. with here and there a hole left. through which a spear might be thrust or an ar- row discharged. A ladder rested against the wall. reaching to a broad landing on top. from which doorway led into the family living room that had been erected upon the fortress. And now No-ko-mo quickly went to work to add still another story with a landing. on top of the room occupied by his father. In the end the building. like many oth- CTS in he Pueblos. presented terraced front towards the rising sun. In the third story of this building No-ko-mo and his bride eventually made their home.

THE MOQU| PUEBL0S
INDIAN TRIBE THAT TRACES
 ANCESTRY TO JAPANESE.
Army Officer Tells of His Visit to This Picturesque and Interesting Race
 Romance of Nee-ta and No-Ko-Mo.

The Moqui Pueblo Indians of Arizona are, perhaps, the only aboriginal inhabi- tants of our broad land who have re- tained unimpaired the customs and practices of their medieval ancestry. The origin of these strange people, it is claimed, can be traced through the Aztec tribes of Mexico, from which peo- pie they came as colony centuries ago, back to involuntary emigrants borne to the western shores of America Japan. If these tracings are true, as they seem to be, the ancient customs of the "Flowery Kingdom may possibly be more faithfully preserved on the arid plains of America than within the home land itself.
 Possibly glimpse at some of these customs may not be without interest. At the request of the Moquis, an officer of the army visited them few years ago to witness an issue of annuity goods, and while on that duty was the guest of the "governador" in his home on the sum- init of great, fiat-topped butte. Soon after the officers arrival, Nee-ta, little maiden daughter of the family, began to grind corn for the evening meal, crush ing the grains between the stones of a metate, or house mill. When the meal was ground the mother placed it in a wooden bowl and moistened it with wa ter. Then spreading thin coat of dough upon hot stone. she permitted it to bake, after which she twisted it into a roll. like cigar. The good mother had her mouth full of water. and as the bak- ing proceeded thinned the dough from time to time by ejecting small stream into it from her mouth.
 When sufficient meal for the baking had been ground, Nee-ta's task for the time was over. but she continued, nev- ertheless, to grind The father and his host had come in meanwhile for the eve- ming meal but Nee-ta paid scant atten- tion to their coming, and with dOwncast face busted herself with her grinding
 A little vessel containing thin, sweet syrup, extracted from the roasted leaves of the mescal plant, was set on the floor in the middle of the room by the side of another vessel containing rolls of the corn just cooked. The "governa- dor" and his guest seated themselves on the floor, and the host. bidding the off, cer follow his example, seized one of the rolls and. after dipping it in the syrup, threw his head far back and dropped the dripping mass into his open mouth.
 In the meantime the mother had re- called that, in following the customs of

mountain districts, but decreases in quantity westward, until it practically disappears in western Tennessee and Kentucky. Mature chestnut is damaged more severely by fire than any of the other species of the region. A consider able part of it's mature timber is defect i've for this reason. Much of the timber is also wormy. In the past but little chestnut has been cut for lumber, but the output is now increasing. A new use for chestnut. which has developed very rapidly in the last few years, is for making tannin extract. For this purpose all grades and sizes of chestnut above about five inches in diameter are used. There are number of factories making the extract. one of which consumes 150 cords of this wood daily. This industry makes possible the utilization of the limbs and tops and the defective chest nut, which otherwise would be wasted, and materially assists in conservative management by making this timber more valuable and cleaner logging prac- ticable.
 Chestnut oak is abundant in the mountains. its stand decreasing west ward. It is confined chiefly to the ridges. and in most sections is short-bodied and of little value for sawlogs. It is usually expensive to lumber because of it's inaccessibility. The chief value of chestnut oak in this region has been for tanbark. for which. in some places, it has been largely cut.
 Red and black oak are most abundant in the western lowland part of the re- zion. where they often form over 70 per cent. of the stand. In addition to their use in large amounts for lumber and slack cooperage. they are also now ex- tensively cut along the navigable rivers for railroad ties. for which purpose pre- servative treatment has recently made them available. These oaks form but a relatively small part of the forests in the eastern mountainous districts, where in the past almost none of them have been cut. owing to their low market value. But now lumbermen who are operating i in the mountains take these oaks along with the poplars and white oaks.
 The demands upon this hardwood forest are enormous and varied. Great industries employing large manufactur- ing plants depend upon it for mill sup plies. The most important of these in- dustries are those using hardwoods for furniture. finishing. railroad ties. tannin extract. and wagon stock. In addition to furnishing wood for all these and other purposes. the forest of this region has a vital function 10 perform in pro- tecting a watershed upon which num- Der of states depend for constant SUD- ply of water. IL is doubtful whether the bureau of forestry has ever undertaken a more important study. and its forth coming bulletins should prove very val uable to many commercial interests as we'll as to forestry in general

as general rule it is partially replaced by inferior species, as the red and black oaks. Thus in many cases where ths virgin stand contained over 50 per cent. of white oak, the second crop contains less than ten per cent Often when pop lar has been numbered, only the best trees have been cut, and as these were comparatively few in number and oc- cured at irregular intervals the forest has not been opened up enough to let in sufficient light to allow young poplars to start growing. In addition, poplar seedlings are very easily injured by fire; even slight ground fires kill them. Fires have been very common throughout the region, and thus successful reproduction of poplar has often been greatly hin dered. ...-.
 Hemlock occurs over small portion of the region, and white pine over still smaller part; both confine themselves to the mountainous sections. As rule hemlock has not been considered mer- chantable, because it is generally impos sible to log and sell it in northern mar kets in competition with hemlock from Michigan and Pennsylvania. The little remaining white pine is numbered in a few localities on large scale, and the supply will soon be exhausted.
 Chestnut is very abundant. It forms large proportion of the stand in the

RUSSIA IN MISERY.
Terrorists at Home, Her Ar mics In Retreat.
PEASANTS OF THE VOLGA IN REVOLT
Columns of Villagers and Rivermen Marching Against Upper Glasses. Japanese Pressing on In Pur-
 suit Near Sunshu Pass.

LONDON, March 21. - Dispatches from St. Petersburg this morning say that upon the quietude of the Manchu- rian situation there has burst the news Of the attempted assassination of an other high official in Finland, whose efforts for the classification of the grand duchy have exposed them to the vengeance of the young Fennomans. The incident indicates that the revolu- tionists have not abandoned the policy of terrorism, but are determined to have more blood and presages further crimes of like nature.
 The authorities here have been draw ing up programme of administrative reforms for Finland with view to re-establishing order and diminishing racial antagonisms.
 The peasants revolutionary move ment is assuming extraordinary and alarming proportions. The dwellers emong the forests and the boatmen on the Volga are marching against the bourgeois class and the nobility, laying waste lands and carrying off cattle. In the southern provinces columns of 2,O0O or 5000 peasants, armed with axes, scythes and pitchforks, are marching through districts which hith- erto have been calm.
 Reports from Sunshu pass say that the Russian rear guard is retreating slowly and engaging in occasional skirmishes. It has now reached a po- sition twenty-seven miles north of Tie pass. The Japanese are slowly advancing without pressing the Rus sians. In the course of the retreat the Russians are destroying bridges, the railway rOadbed and highways and carrying off stores and demolishing buildings and everything not portable.
 The troops parted in sadness with General Kuropatkin. whose labors in shaping the army are recognized and who was ever attentive to the wants of the soldiers in the matter of food, clothing and shelter. Regardless of the fact that he had been commander in chief. General Kuropatkin offered to remain here as q subordinate of Gen eral Linevitch and as commander of a corps.

AGzED HE greatest area of, hard
 .A wood forest and the largest XdWh N supply of hardwoods in the NWKX United States are in the re- z zion comprising the South
 ern Appalachian mountains and the country lying between them and the Mississippi river. For the last two or three years the bureau of forestry 'has been carefully studying this region, which is rich in commercial species, es- pecially yellow oak. chestnut, white pine and hemlock. A study was first made of the proportion of each of these species in the various types of forest, their mer- chantable yield and their rate of growth. Last summer II agents of the bureau were assigned to an investigation of the market conditions governing the log ging and use of each of these species, and 12 more to study of the important characteristics of each tree and the pos abilities of each under management. The data obtained in this and previous studies are now being formulated for publication. Several bulletins will be issued, one of general character dis cussing the conditions of the region as a whole, the others dealing with the sev- eral species particularly.
 The study of the general forest condi- tions and the characteristics of each of the important species followed. This

were carefully studied. The effects of fire and grazing upon the forest were also considered. Until the voluminous data thus obtained have been tabulated and compared absolute figures and con- clusions cannot be announced. but suf- ficient progress has been made to war rant some general statements of conclu- sions.
 The market value and amount of standing timber. yellow poplar and white oak are the two most important trees of the region. These species were formerly found throughout almost the entire region in merchantable quanti- ties. but they have been cut so exten- sively where there are transportation facilities that it is now usually neces- sary to go back long distance into the woods to find first-class stands of either of them. Poplar attains magnificent size in the coves of the mountain dis tricts and in the rich river bottoms of central Tennessee and Kentucky. but its best development is reached in the higher mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. White oak reaches its best development in the river valleys of Tennessee and Kentucky. White poplar always forms a small proportion of the timber of the area. it very often forms a large proportion of the merchantable timber. White oak is present in very much greater numbers than poplar over the region as a whole. and occasionally forms over a per cent of the stand.
 Lumbering has had serious effect on the reproduction of both poplar and white oak When the white cak is cy,t.

On Friday, June 30, Fairbanks was visited by disastrous flood, according to the officers of the Seattle No. 3. A great head water poured down the slough on which Fairbanks is situated, with such terrific force that the heavy booms of the mill companies located above the town were torn loose from their fastenings, liberating thousands of saw logs.
 These logs, propelled by the immense force of water behind them. destroyed the upper bridge, the latter bore down on the Cushman street bridge, and passed clear through an opening made by removing the center span. The saw logs soon damned this space and began backing up the flood. which in turn attacked the cribbing and timber ing placed there the past winter at a great expense to protect the town from the inroads of the slough, and was of great strength.
Alaska forum., 1905-07-08

This cribbing soon washed out and in few minutes Front street was cut into for distance of ten feet. The flood then began to undermine the new N. c. warehouses. At this juncture meeting of the city council was called to provide for the emergency. That body decided that it was necessary to blow up the bridge so that the water could resume it's proper channel and main business portion of the town pre- served.
 At the time the Seattle was forced to leave the slough for safety, a mes sage had been telegraphed to Cinema for dynamite with which to blow up the Cushman street bridge.
 The greatest loss will fall on the city The Cushman bridge was rebuilt last summer at g cost of $7.O00. The crib ping was put in place during the win- ter at cost of nearly 5000. Loss to the mills in logs will be considerable.
