Si'S FRANCISCO chronicle
surveyor of the Port Woodward has
made application to the secretary of
the treasury, through Collector of the
Port Stratton, for permission to in
crease his force by fifteen assistant
~we1ghers, fifteen inspectors and ten
laborefs. He points out that the COM
merce of the port is increasing to such
an extent that the men he has are un-
able to handle the customs business,
some of them being, through age and
physical infirmities, unequal to the
task put upon them. He also calls at
tention to the large fleet of ships bound
TO this port with heavy cargoes and
those that are preparing to sail for
here. The list is as follows:
From Antwerp. four steamers and
thirteen sailing vessels have sailed, and
one steamer and eight sailing vessels
are on the berth: Bremen, one vessel
has sailed; Calcutta, one steamer has
sailed; Genoa. two vessels have sailed;
Hamburg, eight steamers and eight
vessels have sailed, and three vessels
are on the berth; Hull, two vessels
have sailed; Liverpool, two vessels and
one on the berth; London, three steam-
ers sailed. five sailing vessels cleared
and two ON the berth; Newcastle, four
vessels sailed, n on berth; Rotter-
dam, five vessels sailed, one on berth.
This makes a total of sixty vessels and
seventeen steamers. There are thirty
two vessels on the way from other
ports, not including oriental ports,
whence there will be a heavy traffic.
These 100 vessels have On board 213.-
600 IONS of cargo, mostly structural

Saving the Indian Names.
From The Boston Transcript.

eNAbSS iPN.
1t is a good idea, this perpetuation OF
the old Indian place names, which, ac.
cording to the Indian office of the in
terror department., is now the fashion.
able thing for hotels and homes. The
prevalence of Indian names in sumrne.
resort notices indicates that there is .
very general appreciation OF the eu.
phony OF many of these words. TIL.
most popular, at present. are the Oma.
ha tribal names, but Maine is GOV.
cred with the ~jawbreaking designations
of the Algonquins. There should bt
no difficulty in finding a suitable In.
dian name whenever one is desired,
since dictionaries of the Chippewa.
Cree, Delaware, Micmac and Nipissina
languages have been printed, and mani

seltS language.
Difficulties often arise in getting tho
right names to fit localities, although
the Indian place names are so thor.
oushlH descriptive that this need bs
due only TO lack Of linguistic attain
ments. Many place names are almost
wholly descriptive. while other of these
Indian designations are imaginative.
Quinsigamond. even now famous for
p'ckerel, means the 'long-nosed fish

Ninmucls name for the Pleiades. is

Housebeats Built on Canoes.

The imposing looking, t..Yee-storv

Carceres, province of Luzon. The.

In spite Of its great size and height
the boat is very light and easy to han

extensively in it's construction. The.

houseboat was used as a floating hotel

Generally Took His Part.

In such cases the sympathies OF the
lfelshters were usual with their balkv
brother and they would encourage him to
hold the fort, agreeing to stick it out as
iohe as he WOULD in their efforts to prevent
paying such an eXorbitant toll. Sometimes
such controversies resulted in threats of
violence against the bridge tender. But
lhere was some.aing in the steel graz eyes
Oh Old j. c. as he calmly pulled away
at his great Dutch pipe and stroked his
long, flowing beard that discouraged all
attempts to put such threats into execu-
ton.
One time such a blockade was maintain
ed by a single obdurate freighter for three
days. during which several hundred
wagons and teams congregated on both
sides OF the river. unable to proceed until
peace was declared. Occasionally the 9th.
or freighters would think it was the driv-
er who should avoid such a blockade by
paying his toll instead of holding up all Of
them on account of what they considered
his mulishness. Then they would throw
his cargoes to one side. drag his wagon
backward from the narrow cut and pro-
coed on their way in spite of the threats
and profanity of the disciplined member of
the profession.
Quarter for a Fishhook,
1t is not alone at the bridge that objec-
lions are made to the prices charged by
the Andersons. Their store was the prin-
cipal place for trade in the eastern part
Of the territory. To the prices charged for
goods on the store counters the customers
frequently objected.
Thus it happened that the freighters OBJ
jected to paying % cents for a single fish,
hook. But when "Old j. c." explained that
1t was necessary to charge such pricea
because of the heavy cost of freight tho
purchaser would be content.
But such q gold mine as this could not
be worked forever. With the Development
of Montana the Northern Pacific was built
to reach that section and before that. in
1879, Brigham Young succeeded in con-
structing the Utah Northern railroad from
Salt Lake City to Butte. The construction
of this road sounded the death knell of thu
Corinne trail and practically wiped out tho
tolls of Andersons' bridge. The Anderson
brothers maintained toll bridge for several
years after the trail was abandoned, al.
though the revenue from it was small.
Late in the SOS the state bought tho
bridge and erected a free iron structure
in its place.
