RETURNED FROM CANADA.

". N. Allen returned home Sunday
MOI ming from cruise in the province
of Saskatchewan, Can. He says that in
all his experience in the woods he never
suffered so with the cold as he did on
this trip. The latter part of the trip his
party camped out in tents and the cold
was intense. The snow does not get az
deep as it does here and is loose, so that
snow shoes cannot be used. The coun-
try between Winnipeg and Prince AL
bert is one big grain field, and every
train crossing the border into Canada
is loaded with immigrants. Every hotel
is so crowded that it is almost impossible
springiug up and the development of
the country is marvellous. Three
years ago in one town 1900 bushels
OF wheat were shipped from one
elevator; this fall 5000 bushels were
put into the same elevator. Every
business and professional man, lumber
jack or tradesman has a homestead.
Better shipping rates are secured than
in the United States and better induce
ment are offered homesteaders, but the
climate is drawback. The timber belt
begins at the end of the railroad
Prince Albert. The party Billy was
with was about 100 miles northwest of
Prince Albert. All kinds of large
game, moose, deer, etc, abound in the
country. The deer are different from
those in this country, the stag having
much larger horns. There is also a
species of wild turkey in the country.
Billy is figuring on leaving shortly for
the mountains of North Carolina.

NEW WATER SUPPLY.

1t will be pleasant news to the people
of Wausau to know that new water
supply will De on tap about Thursday
afternoon. 1t is thought that all work
of connecting will be finished tomorrow
on the fourteen drive wells which will
be used this winter, and that by the
time mentioned water eau be pumped
from them. The wells connected are
being washed out and capped and very
little dirt has been found in them.
All of the pipe material for the water
extensions which will be built next
summer is here. The high pressure en-
CINE and material for reservoir on East
hill will be shipped some time during
the winter. The water commission
hopes to settle on a site for the reser-
voir and engine before long. 1t appears
the people living on the Hill objected
mostly because they were of the opinion
that the pump would be pounding con-
tinually and there would be smell of
coal smoke at all times. They have
been assured that there will be scarcely
any noise from the machinery and as
the power used will be electric, there
will be no smoke.

WILL FURNISH DINNERS.

The poor fund committee of the Y.
M G. A. met Saturday and Monday for
the purpose of arranging Christmas
gifts for poor families Each church in
the city is represented on the commit
tee and lists of those in need are sub
mitted, also the names of those depend
ent upon the city. The committee col
lects funds which are disbursed for
Christmas dinners and baskets are dis
tributed Next Monday a sleigh will
be driven to Y NJ G. A. building where
it will be loaded up with eatables and
the same distributed among the differ
ent families in need. Aside from the
city poor it is surprising to find that
there are so few needy families in Wau-
sau. There are between fifty and sixty,
city poor included Last year the poor
commissioner distributed the baskets.
This year another plan will be fol-
lowed. When the poor commissioner
called at some houses last year the
occupants refused to accept the baskets,
because of pride and the stigma of
receiving anything from that official.
Next Monday some one else will make
the delivery.

1t is customary for the management
of the county asylum aud poor house TO
remind the inmates of the blessings en-
joyed by their more fortunate brethren
on that day. Aside from the Fourth of
July, it is the greatest holiday in the
year at these Institutions. Elaborate
dinners are served and at the former
institution old Santa appears on Christ
mas eve, with a sack, well laden with
presents, and he visits every inmate in
the Institution and leaves them a re-
membrance of his visit. The presents
usually consist of useful articles from
the sewing room and a few sweets. 1t
is a pleasing feature with the patients
and makes their lives, for the time be-
ing, brighter. 1t is also the beginning
of tae season when a number of enter
tainmeuts are furnished them. Usually
at New Years time a dance is given,
followed later by number of con-
certs, etc.

While the average American father

Charles Alexander Eastman, the full
blooded Sioux Indian scholar, has on
his hands. BY appointment by Presi
dent Roosevelt, DR.. Eastman has the
task of finding and fixing civilized
names to the entire American Indian
race. The purpose Of the work is to
furnish the Indians with family names
to supplant the Understanding and
picturesque native names, a process
that will simplify the work Of allet.
ing lands as well as afford means for
tracing land tenure and property rights.
To a great extent native names have
been adopted, sometimes as originally
pronounced, and sometimes by making
use Of English equivalents. Some In
dians have objected but DR.. Eastman
being an Indian himself. has managed
to take care of about 100000 Of them
and is still at work.
AS sample of his work, a young
buck rejoicing in the name Of Bob
tailed Coyote is now Robert 7. Wolf
which is not so great a change after
all. White Bear, a popular Indian
name in the native tongue,is Matoska.
This has been made surname for the
