THE SAILORS TRUNK.
A Round Canvas Bag Four Feet Long,
and the Same the World over.

1.-The sailors trunk" said an old
salt. lis d canvas bag cylindrical in
form and about four feet long and
eighteen inches in diameter. and when
hes got that bag packed with his stuff,
the whole outfit bag and all, consti-
tutes his kit. He couldn't carry a
regular trunk even if he wanted to,
for there would be no place for it in
a ships forecastle. But q dunnage bag
takes up only so much room as the
stun inside OF il takes up-that is to
say, il it's only half full you can fold
it down to half its space, and then if
the bag is fun you can press il, and
you can bend and twist it, you can
make good stowase with it i'm The
place where it has to go, and so you
can get it, with as much stuff in it as
a trunk would hold, into a space where
YOU couldn't get a trunk at all.
And then this bag is a mighty sight
handler to carry than trunk would
be when the sailor man goes ashore,
or when he goes from his boarding
house to a vessel. He can just pick
that bag up and sling it over his
shoulder, and it's flexible enough to
fit there easily. and sag down a lit
tie forward and aft, making it easy
to carry.
In the days when deep sea sailing
ships were commonly used, before the
day OF steam kettles, in the old days
when the jibbooms of ships along the
water front used to stick out across
the street in long rows for block after
block, You could see a ship captain
walking down South street with a
dozen. men trailing after him, his new
crew. each man with his canvas trunk.
or dunnage bag, his kit, on his shoulder
making for "a vessel lying at a wharf.
or for tug TO take the men to some
vessel lying out in the stream ready
to sail.
You can't see such professions much
nowadays. for the day OF the square
rigger is more and more waning, but
still you can even now occasionally
meet a man walking along South street
with his dunnage bag over his Shout
der. There are still some ships. and
tho sailor man hasn't quite gone OUT
yet.
You can buy dunnage bags I'm any OF
the sailors Quitting stores. and you
can also buy them secondhand, Just
as you can anything else I'm the world
that / know of. And then some sailors
make their own dunnage bags. many
sailors being mighty handy with the
needle. and every sailor carrying in his
bag a housewife, with needles and
thread and buttons and such things
just as every soldier everywhere car
ries one in his knapsack.

IF the sailor man makes this bag at
sea he gets the material for it of new
canvas from the ships canvas supplies
in charge of the sailmaker, or maybe
the captain gives him for it piece out
of an old wornout skySail-one that
perhaps the sailor has more than once
furled himself-the canvas from the
bigger lower sails Being too heavy
fer IL.
The bag is made with a shirring
string at the open end, by which il can
be closed there Sometimes if his bag
is packed so plumb full that he can't
close the end the sailor puts over his
stuff, on top, canvas disk for a stop
per. and then draws the shirring string
on that.

According to the Roman and Anglican
calendar. St. Valentines day falls OF
Feb Il. and this year the day comes
on Tuesday. The custom of sending
greeting of love 10 friends and sweet
hearts on this particular day has beer
in vogue for centuries. There is moth
ing. however, in the life of the good old
bishop Of Rome that suggests why his
name should be used to endorse tbs
custom. He wrote no love songs. There
was nothing comic or sentimental III

religion. BY faith he cured his keeper $

miracle became known he was dubbed
and imprisoned. Afterward he was be

the attitude which they had when

sought refuge under a hedge during a
storm. Lightning struck and killed
four, who were left as IL petrifed. One
was found holding in his fingers the

WHAT ToTEMlsM IS.
Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood Subject.

Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood Subject.
It is interesting to note that totemism
is found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rhymes Of Australia, the Hottentots Of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia. Totems are also common among
the Samoans.
Broadly the totem is the badgesof a
clan or tribe. but 1t signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. It is not only a tribal en-
blem, but also a family sign; not mere
y a symbol Of nationality, but also
an expression of religion; not simply
a bond Of union among primitive peo-
pies, but also a regulator Of the mar
riage laws and of other social institu-
lions. A totem has been defined as "a
class of material objects which a saw
age regards with superstitious respect,
believing that there exists Between
him and every member of the class an
intimate and special relation."
Among the Oiibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty-three differ
ent totems. Nine of these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds, five are fishes and one is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re-
garding totems prevail in Samoa. Thus
it is believed that if a turtle man eats
Of a turtle he will grow very i'll, and.
the voice of the turtle will be heard in
his inside saying: "He ate me. I am
killing him." If a banana man uses a
banana leaf for a cap he becomes bald.
If a butterfly man catches a butterfly
it strikes him dead. If a fowl man
eats a fowl delirium and death results,
and SO on, all going to show that the
totem has something of the quality of
a fetch as well as the significance of
a family emblem.
Regarding totemfsm, it is to be noted
that the relation Of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem it.
self-that is to say, II a man takes
care Of his totem he expects the to-
tenn to return the compliment. If the
totem is a dangerous animal it must
not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men Of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run Owe
their bodies without hurting them.
There is a snake clan in Australia
which holds to a similar belief. Among |
the crocodile clan Of the Bechuanas If
a man is bitten by a crocodile or even
has water snlashed on him by n he is
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

A Good Thing to Know.

thing to learn. Do you know, II we

CANNOT
CROSS RESERVE
SHEEPNIEN AND INDIANS
CONFER ON THE QUESTION
Refuse to Permit Sheep to Be
Trailed Over the Reservation
Sheep VIII Have to Make a Detom
of 75 Miles in Getting to the sum-
mer Ranges.

No sheep will be permitted to cross
the reservation this year on the way
to or from the summer range in the
mountains. In a conference held yes
terday at the agency between repre-
sentative sheepmen and a council of
the Indians, TIE latter stolidly refused
to consent to sheep being trailed
across under any circumstances what
ever.
For some time past it has been un-
derstood that difficulty in crossing
would be had by the sheepmen this
season, and in order to learn the exact
situation the conference was held yes
terday. Those present were ]. E.
Smith, William Slusher, Kenneth War
ner, Bert Smith, Joe Connolly, Gus
LaFontain and ]. H. Gwinn, from the
sheepmen, and about 90 Indians, ac-
companied by Superintendent McKoin.
According to parties present nothing
whatever could be done with the In
dians in the matter as they stood OBJ
stinately against allowing sheep taken
across even If toll were paid. AS a
final effort the sheepmen offered to
employ escorts of Indians to accom-
pany the bands across the reserva-
ton and to see that adjoining fields
were not overrun. But even this SEEM
ingly liberal proposition was of no
avail and the matter was at length
given up.
From appearances 1t seems that the
Indians have the upper hand in the
matter and are going to make use of
their rights to the fullest extreme, at
least as far as sheep trailing is con-
cerned. There is no legal public
highway across the reservation and in
consequence outsiders may be exclud-
ed entirely If the Indians so desire, or
at least such was their contention
yesterday.
AS to the effect of the Indians stand
on the sheep business j. H. Gwinn
stated this morning that as a result
100000 sheep will have to be taken
rs miles out of the way in order tc
reach the mountains this summer
Naturally this means a great expense
and inconvenience to growers and con.
sequently their feelings for the red.
skins are not of an amiable nature.
The only adequate way out of the
difficulty seems to be for the sheep.
men to secure the passage of an ac
by congress making a road across the
reservation, thus making it possible
for travel to be carried on from here
to the mountains without the consul
of the Indians. Mr.. Gwinn stated thi!
morning that he wrote to Senator Full
ton on the subject last night and tina
the senator had been asked to attend
to the matter for the sheepmen. How
ever it is not presumed that anything
can be accomplished in time to be %
any benefit this season.

HELIX WATER SYSTEM
Helix Planning to Inaugurate New
Water System.

Helix is to have town water sys-
tenn and Pendleton contractors have
been asked to make estimates on the
cost of a 100, 0,0O0-gallon reservoir to
be constructed. A. B. Montgomery.
who is one of the Helix councilmen,
telephoned parties here in regard to
the matter yesterday afternoon.
The water is to be secured from a
large well near the town and will be
pumped by means of an engine into
the reservoir which is to be so located
as to provide for the greatest possi-
BILE pressure over the town. On the
completion of the reservoir and
pumping station, mains and lat
erals will be run over the town con-
Meeting the greater portion of the
residences with the system. In the
past the water supply of~Helix has
been secured from private wells,
which system no longer suffices for
the needs of the growing burg.
1t is said that a syndicate of East
ern capitalists has been trying to Sc
cure a franchise from the council to
allow them to install private sys-
tenn, but that the members of that
honorable body have stood firmly
against such a policy, believing that
in this day and age municipalities
should own their own water systems

PASSENGERS WELL SHAKEN UP.
n. p. Limited Runs Into Freight
Which Failed to Clear Main Track.


The North Coast Limited, east
bound. was wrecked three miles this
side of Ellensburg at o'clock Sun
day morning. The wreck was caused
by the engineer of freight train,
who had orders to take a siding,
failing to- shunt his train clear of the
main track. The Limited, going at
speed of about IL miles an hour,
crashed into the rear of the freight,
smashing two flat and one box car
into kindling wood and derailing the
front trucks of the passenger engine.
When the crash came Mrs. Ellis
who was occupying one of the day
coaches, was thrown with such ter
rifle force against the side of the car
that her shoulder was badly fractured
and strained. She suffered other in
jnries of such a serious nature that
she stopped off at Walla Walla to Sc
cure medical attention. Mrs. Hodges
was pitched forward onto a car seat
striking her head with considerable
force. Aside from this the other pas
sengeFs escaped without any injury
except for a general shaking up.
1t is thought the engineer of the
freight was asleep or was of the opin-
ION that he had pulled his train clear
of the main track.

Three Families Filled a Car.

One chair car on No. /, west bound
o. r. & N. passenger train, which
passed through this morning, was oc-
cupied by three families from Virginia.
There were 43 people in the car, rid
ing on 21 tickets. The makeup of the
carload was pitiful and almost ap-
palling. The children were poor,
sickly and scrawny. the women wore
a haggard and care-worn look upon
their faces, the men were nerveless,
indolent and unkempt and a stencil of
disease and filth filled the car. They
were bound for Portland, where they
expect to reside.
