and bears them away up to his lonely
birch-bark shelter at the top of steep
hill. the sack of flour resting on his
back fastened by strap passing over
his forehead. There are few full-blood
Indians who, however much they may
understand, profess to speak no Eng
lish; the men tall and thin, the women
stout. And there is goodly number of
small children, some of them reminding
me of Japanese babies used to know;
the same stiff black hair, the narrow
bright eyes, the dear little round faces.
In arbutus time they bring tight-tied
punches of these pink and white posies
to the train, and quickly dispose of their
fragrant wares; in summer, the Indian

men, the lumber jacks, of no small in
terest, these gentlemen of the queer
high shoes, big hats and dashing air.
Some of them are half-breeds, some
French Canadians, many just Cana
dams, and there may be few Yankees.
We are often told of the roysterings of
the lumber jacks, but it were well to
dwell sometimes on other aspects of
their lives; their skill in woodcrGft-it
is fine to watch them at work; and there
is no little entertainment in listening to
their hunting tales when the days work
is over and they have gathered round
the campfire for smoke and rest. A
poor north-woods lumber jack is he that
has not shot at least one bear. Of the
deer hunting they say less-the birds
might carry word to the game warden.
Every once in while in the deep
woods, close by stream or pond, one
comes upon the little hut of the trapper,
shelter used for few months, and then
the dweller seeks some fresh trapping
field. These cabins look, with their sides
of logs with the bark left on, the spaces
filled in with moss, a very part OF the
woods; one trapper, neighbor of mine,
told me sometimes the deer came clean
up to his cabin, didn't see it till right on
it. Within, the cabins are squalid and
pretty dreadful, but the exteriors are
charming in their soft wood browns and
greens.

WHAT GOVERNMENT RATE MAKING
WOULD COST IOWA.

OF all the different classes of
shippers in the United States inter
ested in the proposal now under dis
cussion for the regulation of railway
rates by governmental authority, few
have as II UGH at stake as the middle
western grain producers. The grain
production of the United States does
not regulate the price OF grain
throughout the world, and this be-
ing true it must become apparent at
once that the burdens of high rates,
as well as the benefits of low ones,
fall not upon the consumer in some
distant part Of the world, but on the
farmer who produces the grain.
Shippers in the past, at least. have
generally believed that government
rate making means lower rates, but
different points which have come up
in the general discussion recently show
that this can hardly now be accepted
as fact. There are various reasons
which account for this. Our present
railway rates are only from one-half
TO one-third as high as those in any
other country, and our railway SER
vice is the best in the world. Then,
too, the general tendency at all state
rate making bodies lin the case OF
this country, ana Of all governmental
rate making bodies in other countries
where they exist, has been to place
in effect rates based on ton per mile
charge Ii is. therefore, natural tc
suppose that such practice would
result, under like conditions, in this
country.

concerned, it is Well to understand
what enormous increases in eXpendi.

shipments, during 1903, (the latest
year of which complete figures are
available) is obtained by taking an
average of the various export rates ex-
listing during that period to the tide
water port to which the lowest rates
obtained, and, for very apparent
reasons, the total amounts are figured
as though all shipments had come
from one point-Des Moines. The
general average rate for 1908 is taken
from the report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and when applied
is used in connection with the nearest
tidewater port, in order that the result
ing figures may be the most conserya-
tive obtainable.

the figures it is found that the farmers

1908, of corn, wheat and oats combined,

freight charges were SO, 92S, 752; and

Why Suffer From Rheumatism?

one application of Chamberlain Pain

only for short relief from suffering

that after a while relief became per-
