Big Minook Pipe Line
 Loses Considerable Length

The Big Minook hydraulic pipe line is just 500 feet shorter than it really ought to be. This is owing to contract on caused by the cold weather and oth- CT causes, principally the utter absence of slip joints in it's construction. MT. s. P. Robbins, the local representative of the company, states that all present defects in the line will be remedied in ample time to allow operations to begin with the first appearance of water in spring.
 MT. Robbins is not an hydraulic ex- pert, neither is he natural born me- chanic; simply frst-class mach;nist. He is eminently qualified to make the required joints and air valves, SO that the pipe line portion of the enterprise will be perfect. Mir. Robbins stated that he did not know whether Manager Koonce would return next spring or not.

Lumber For Mining Purposes
 Is Likely To Be Reasonable

There is quiet fight going on in the local lumber trade. What the future will bripc -orth in the way of prices no one can say, but at any rate the con- s1mer will be none the loser.
 Manager John Stanley of the dredg- ing concern is cutting lumber on Big Minook for $40 per thousand. The cost, freight added, across the divide will be around $9O. A makeshift mill on Eureka creek with capacity of 1000 feet per diem, has charged $125 for species of lumber. This supply was entirely inadequate.
 It is reported that the proprietor of the Eureka 'sawmill' is highly incensed at Stanley's entrance into the lumber business, and claims that Stanley is 'butting i'm and trying to hog both the dredging and mill businesses of the camp. and that $125 is about right for lumber across the divide-but that it will be lower.
 It is now highly probable that the Stanley mill will go over the divide as lumber contracts for this side are filled. The plant will be set up in the Hootli- mana forests. This is owing to the con- stantly increasing demand for sluice and Hume purposes.

SCIENCE OF SHEDDING
The Sparkstotting Popular Among the
SWedes

From the Kansas City Star
The Swedes have made a fine art of
shedding. Their fastest sled is called
the sparkstotting and is an exceed
ingly light sled that the inhabitants of
Norrland, g province situated at the
north of Sweden, employ during the
winter as a means of loComotion
The use of it now extends throughout
Sweden, where races upon this original
vehicle constitute one of the most
highly appreciated sports of winter
Among other people of the north. in
Russia. Scotland and Germany, this
sport is entirely unknown, a fact that
is somewhat extra aordinar, considering
that the sparkstotting can be employed
in all countries in which the rigors of
winter permit of the use of ordinary
sleds.
The sparkstotting is constructed en-
tirely of Norway spruce. 1t is straight,
of elongated form and weighs no more
than thirty pounds. 1t consists of two
runners, curved upward in front, and
six and one-half feet in length To
each of the runners is fixed an upright
that serves both as a point of support
and a tiller. The entire affair is con-
nected by two or three crosspieces, one
OF which supports a light seat placed
twelve inches above the surface.
The Norrland sled differs perceptibly
from the Vesterbotten type, in which
the runners. which are much shorter
are not shod with iron, but are well
creased or impregnated with boiling
tar The lightest and best type for
racing is the one manufactured at
Umea, Norway In order to push the
sparkstotting the racer, bearing with
both hands upon the eXtremities of the
uprights, places his left foot upon the
runner to the left and then with the
right foot strikes the ground at regular
intervals so as to propel the sled for
ward
If the snow is very hard and the
racer is not provided with spiked shoes
1t is necessary for him to fix steel
calks to the soles. In recent times a
horizontal bar breast high, has been
placed between the uprights. This
modification renders the steering easier
and besides permits of governing with
a single hand. Upon a level route the
sparkstotting reaches a pretty good
speed without great effort.
An experienced racer, when the snow
is in good condition, can easily attain
the speed of a horse on a trot. In as
cents it is necessary to push the spark
stotting or to drag 1t, but this does not
cause much fatigue. owing to its light
ness and the feeble surface in contact
with the snow. With this sled it is
possible to run very fast.

COLEGR0VE CAR C0LLlDES
WITH LOADED OIL WAGON
Passengers Have Narrow Escape From
Injury, for Which They Blame
the Motorman

Passengers on a Colegrove car of
the Los Angeles-Pa electric railway
narrowly escaped serious injury yester-
day afternoon when the car collided
with heavily loaded oil wagon which
blocked the tracks at the oil station
near the Sisters hospital.
The hand rail on the right side of the
car was demolished, the forward steps
torn off, the side stanchions loosened
and several window lights shattered.
The wagon was entirely demolished
by the collision, the driver escaping
injury by jumping.
The car left the Fourth street station
at 1:10 o'clock and was not heavily
loaded.
A woman holding little child was
sitting on the front seat of the car, but
was not aware of tho danger until she
heard the scream of another passenger.
Intuitively she grasped the child and
started toward the rear of the car.
The seat in which she was sitting was
broken into kindling wood by the force
of the collision. Other passengers had
narrow escapes.
The accident is stated by passengers
to have been due to the negligence of
the motorman, who is said to have been
joking with another employe standing
behind him.

INDIANS TIRE
OF CIVILIZATION
WARDS OF CHARLES r. LUMMIS
ARE MISSING
DISAPPOINTED IN PALEFACE
Felipe and Julbl Thought to Have
Returned to the Tribe Of Tlqna
and Free Life on the
Plains

If Charles It. Lummis, the Indians
have lived in a tent, hunted and fished
for a living, even If only in the Arroyo
SeCo, near his modern residence, and
otherwise taken on the characteristics
ot the near to nature man." 1t Is pos
sible his wards, Felipe and Juibi as
good Indians, might have found satis-
faction in his company and grown old
with him.
AS 1t is they have vanished; vanished
as completely as the thin curl of white
smoke which early each morning rises
from the chimney of the Lummis
kitchen and then dissolves in the at
mosphere.
1t is simply case of too much civ
ilization with Felipe and Julbi, there
fore they are back to the land of their
fathers, even If that be the naked
desert, and living oftentimes very
hard to make.
Felipe is twenty and 1.-THE. tall and
handsome according to the young wo-
he has been studying the Characters
tics of the white man and is said to
have taken on the ways of the pale
face but found that they were not
good.
Jubi, who has been with the editor
Of the "Out West" for over a year,
had similar belief some time ago
and in company with Juan, another
Indian. bold and straight and tall,
and also charge of Mr.. Lummis, took
flight. hoping to free himself from
civilizatio weys. But the Indian
life was not what it was cracked up
to be and after a certain length of
time he returned to his benefactor.
Not so with Juan, however. and he is
believed to be with the tribe of Tigna
at Isleta. whence he and his compan-
ions came to dwell in the home of
Lummis.
Searchers are seeking for them and
deep down in the heart of the literary
man of the Arroyo Seco, there is hope
that Jubi and Felipe will be returned
to him.

MORLEY is VERY HOPEFUL
Predicts That the Local Ball Artists
VIII Soon Encounter VIM
ming Streak-Hard
Luck Up North
at fhe Local BAH Artists
STANDING of the Clubs

Tomorrow afternoon the Sera phs viii
open their twelve game series with the
Tacoma Tigers on the Chutes parl
diamond. According to the schedule
the men of Fisher and Morley were
to have collided on the Tigers native
heath this week. but the extra expense
involved in trip north from San Fran
cisco merely for a series Of six games
finally convinced the magnates of the
northern club that 1t would be more ad-
vantageous financially to switch the
series to Los Angeles.
The regular schedule called for a six
game series in Los Angeles beginning
next week and with the addition OF
the extra week will make twelve games
that will be played off between the top
notchers and the men of Morley.
The local manager returned from the
north anything but downcast over the
showing of his NIT artists in foreign
climes. Mr.. Morley says they are still
in the running and while one cannot
expect TO have a winning team all the
time he is confident that the Seraphs
will be jogging along in the money
when the day of reckoning arrives.
According to the Los Angeles man.
ager the two young pitchers, loren and
Goodwin, made a creditable showing
on their northern trip, all things con-
sidered. The Seraphs encountered a
discouraging series of hard luck games
when some perncious whim of fate
or fortune handed over the long end
of the score.
But even So" saith James, 1--WE all
most broke even. The team has not
been playing ragged ball, and if it could
have had little decent luck we would
now have a better position in the per-
centage column. On the home diamond
it is not too much to expect that we
will forge rapidly ahead, notwithstand-
ing the fact that we are billed for a
two weeks meeting with the rangy
Tacoma bunch of ball basters"
Morley says further that he is con-
Quoting no negotiations with possible ac-
quisitions and that he now has no idea
where he can pinch an artist who will
add strength to the Seraphs' forces.
The Seraphs report themselves as all
in the pink of conditions and ready for
anything that may turn up during their
five weeks of ball bingling on the local
diamond. The twirlers without excep-
tion are in fine shape and can be ex-
pected to put up a rattling exhibition
of the national game in defense of their
hearthstones.
