Benoit is booming as in the old
days; the railroad yards are filled
with logs, ties, cedar nosts and
poles. John Bolin has 400, 900 feet
of pine banked for the Hines Lbr.

has 100000 feet of hemlock and
hardwood for the Smeaton mill at

the Red Cliffe reservation passed
through here Monday evening on
their way to Madison where they
will appear as witness before the

in which the Indians are witnesses
are for selling of liquor to Indians
and also for bringing it on the
reservation. A number also we're

OF IMPORTANCE HERE.

The bill to make denatured alcohol
free is of enormous Importance to Or
egon and Washington, says the Ore
gonian Denatured alcohol is made
from potatoes. Potatoes are staple
crop in this section, and would be a
source of vast wealth to the farmers
if a steady market We're assured. The
manufacture of denatured alcohol from
potatoes has enriched the farmers of
Germany almost beyond calculation.
1t is used, like gasolene, for fuel and
light, and, if free, would cut off some
of the pickings of Standard Oil. There
fore Aldrich holds up the bill in the
senate. The misdeeds of this per-
nicious parsonage have become intol-
cradle. His sleek SubServience to
Standard Oil is not only a disgrace to
the country, but a positive meance to
the public welfare.

The London Sketch gives an inter-

1t states that when the Portuguese,
under Caspar Cortereal, in 1890, first
assembled the St. Lawrence, they believ-
ed it to be the strait through which
a passage might be discovered into the
Indian sea. When, however, they ar
rived at the point whence they could
clearly ascertain that this was no strait
but a river, they explained repeated

bered by the natives, were repeated to

them for the name of the land. The
Canadians have since proved that there
is something there.

THE HINDOO FOOT.
1t IL Quite Different From Ours In Its
Formation.

Formation.
In the native quarters Of the towns
of India the strange spectacle may be
seen of butcher Selling a piece Of
meat in his hands and cutting it In
two with a stroke of his knife held be-
tween the first and second toes Of his
foot. The shoemaker uses no last, but
turns the unfinished shoe with his feet,
while his hands are busy in shaping It
So the carpenter holds with his great
toe the board he Is cutting. and the
wood turner handles his tools as well
with his toes as with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in their labor is not. however.
the mere result of practice. but is
principally dne to the fact that the
Hindoo foot is quite different from
ours in its anatomical conformation
The ankle of the Hindoo and the ar
ticulation of the back Of the foot per
NIT considerable lateral motion. Then
the toes possess surprising mobility
The great toe can be moved freely IN
all directions. and the first and second
toes are separated by wide space.
sometimes as much as five-eighths OF
an inch across ut the base of the toes
and two inches at their extremities.
The articulation Of the hip is also pc
culiar, and this renders it easier to use
the toes in handling the objects by en-.
abling the HindOo to sit in a sQuatting
posture much more comfortably than
we can do. A similar formation of the
feet and toes is found among the An
amese. but it is not. as might be sup
posed. q common thing among barba-
rous and savage tribes.
One naturally thinks Of the resem-
blance tn monkey which a human be-
ing using both feet and hands in the
manner described above must present
and yet the Hindoo foot is not at all
like the foot Of an ape or monkey.
The great toe is not opposed to the
other toes like thumb, as occurs with
the monkey, and accordingly the pedal
dexterity Of the Hindoos is not to be
taken as an indication Of simian de
scent.-Pearson's Weekly.

II Tom Had Been There.

The great Nelson's sovereignty was
confined to the seas. On shore his val
ct, old Tom, ruled him completely. He
was no hero to Tom, but boy to be
governed kindly, but firmly. To the
end Of his days the faithful old servant
ascribed his masters fate to the fact
that he was not aboard Nelson's ship
at Trafalgar. Tom had been every
where with Nelson until the time Of
Trafalgar, says a contributor to st.
James Budget On that occasion he
was detained in London too late to go
to sea with Nelson, and ever afterward
he used to say:
IF l had only been there Lord Mel
son would not have been killed, for he
should not have put on that coat!
HE would mind me like a child" the
old fellow would go on, land when
found him bent on wearing his f1nery
before a battle always prevented him.
"Tom.' he would say, I'll fight this
battle in my best coat
"'Oh, no, my lord, you shaun't,' I'd
say.
"'But why, TomY he'd say.
"'Why, my lord? You just ask no
questions, but fight the battle flrst.' I'd
say, and then I'll dress you up in all
your stars and garters, and you'll look
something like. But after the battle.

THE WOOD ALCOHOL LOBBY.

The presence of the wood alcohol
lobby in Washington is evidence, not
so much of the danger to the free alco-
hol bill at the present time, as it is
an indication of the encouragement
which has always been granted to
special interests to rush in for the pro-
lection of their special privileges wher-
ever legislation is under consideration
which contemplates public, rather than
private interests.
When you come to think of it, the
impudence Of the wood alcohol crowd
ought to be amazing enough to suggest
it's true character to the lobbyists
themselves. They ought to be asham-
ed to appear before congress with
such propositions as are outlined in
recent Washington dispatches, and they
would be, probably, if the history Of
legislation had not encouraged them to
believe that pets and favorites could
ask for favors at the expense of the
public and get them.
No measure presented to congress
for many a day is SO clearly in the
interest of the many as against the
privilege of the few as this free alco-
hol bill, and the fact that the Standard
Oil trust and the wood alcohol lobbyists
are hopeful that they can prevent this
legislation is such a reflection upon
congress itself as ought to make the
hearings accorded to them exceedingly
brief.
