Methods Of Canadian Indians In TraV
ersing Forests.

Methods of Canadian Indians In Trav
ersins Forests.
A Canadian Indian, states q contem.
porary, never loses his way in the
woods, being always able to find his
road over a route once followed by
him and also to penetrate forests that
he has never seen if only another In
dian shows him the general course in
a rough draft on piece of bark.
Indians display marked ability in
communicating with one another in the
woods. They telegraph by means of
smoke, and it is astonishing how far
off they can scent Railways a long
time before they can see it or could
hear a sound from it's vicinity. If they
expect to be followed by another party
they stick a piece Of wood in the
ground on a. portage, slanting it in the
direction in which they are travelling.
Those who find it will know by the de-
gree Of inclination whether they who
planted it are travelling hurriedly or
not.
If it be in summer, a small bough or
piece of q shrub Is fastened to the
stake, and by the extent to which It
has become withered those who ind il
will know when it was placed there
If hunter, as very often happens, has
to make detour or to remain behind

THE OLD SAIL DRILL.
PeriIs the Modern .Warship Men DO
Not Have to Face,

PerIls the Modern .Warship Men DO
Not Have to Face.
One of the dangers and one Of the
hardest tasks of the man-of-war's man
vanished out of his life when, with the
supplanting of the frigate by the steam
cruiser, the old time sail drill became
thing of the past. Fleets in the old
days were continually exercised in
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars and all similar maneuvers aloft,
says Captain ]. w. Gambler of the
British navy in his Links In My Life"
AS the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as to which ship should
carry out the evolution first accidents
were frequent. Hardly a drill day
passed without men being seriously in
jured.
Once during a drill in Kiel harbor,
where the rivalry in the feet was in
creased by the eagerneSs of foreign
ships to compete with the English, an
unfortunate French midshipman went
head first from the mizzen crosstreeS
of the French flagship to the deck
take place in sail drill was not aston
ishing when one remembers that SparS
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or three
tons were whiSked about with be-
wildering speed with nothing but
mems hands and brains to guide
them; hundreds of men crammed into
a space of a few hundred square feet.
where nothing but the most marvellous
organization and discipline could avert
death on deck or aloft.
To the landsman, who understood
nothing of the difficulty involved in
rapidly shifting these great masts and
yards or in reeling and furling thou
sands of square feet of stiff canvas
perhaps wet or half frozen-the rapid
ity with which it was done was per-
haps the chief wonder.
Ropes, running like lightning through
blocks that were instantly too hot from
friction to be touched, had to be
checked to within a few inches, requir-
ing the utmost GOODNESS and presence
of mind, while the officer in COM
mand had to superintend what to the
uninitiated looked like a tangled mass
of cOrdage, but which was in reality
no more in confusion than the threads
in a loom.
In an instant this officer might see
something going wrong. To delay a
single second meant a terrible catas-
trophe. Every one, allow and aloft,
was relying on his judgment.
Delay! Ease away!'
The order came in an instant. The
boatswain's mates repeated it in a
particular call which this life and
death necessity soon taught every one
to understand, the shrill whistles rising
above the din of tramping feet and
running ropes or the thunderous crash
of the great sails in the wind. Death
had been averted-or not If not you
looked up and saw some unfortunate
man turning head over heels in the
air. Your heart stood still. Would he
catch hold of something, even if only
to break his fall, or would he come
battering on the deck? 1t was a mere
toss up. If he was killed outright 1t
generally stopped the drill for the
day; if ne was only seriously injured
the drill went. on. for this was part
of the lesson that must be learned
that in peace, as in war, one must take
his chances.

RAP FOR BILLBoARDs.
Richard Watson elders Condemnation
of the Advertising Sign Nuisance.

OF the Advertising Sign Nuisance.
In condemnation of the billboard
nuisance this letter was received by
the American Civic association from
Richard Watson Glider, editor of the
Century Magazine:
-sAs | went to my Office one day !
passed one of the mostly beautiful of
modern buildings, a savings bank re-
Gently built of white marble in clas-
steal style. 1t is pleasure to look upon
this noble and restful structure. And
It is pain and an anger to have to
take in at the same glance an enor-
mons liquor sign high in the air be-
yond and above it.
What is the use of building exqui-
site structures if any tasteless and re-
mOrseless trader can come along with
his glaring, dominating appeals for
your money and utterly spoil the eff
feet? 1t is as if in a symphony con-
cert vendors of soap should be allowed
to go up and down the aisles bawling
their wares.
"A similar experience accompanied
my railroad trip recently over one of
the lines between New York and Phila-
delphia, where now and again loud
array Of advertising signs spoiled the
effect of the rich, otherwise harmoni-
GUS landscape.
One Of these days the people of a
commercial community will appreciate
he fact that, to put it commercially,
beauty Is a valuable asset as well as
"a Joy forever and then the advertise
ment fiend will not be allowed to go
mp and down the land destroying views.
which means destroying values-values
which belong to the entire population
and which no Individual has the right
to ruin" s.

Would you hinder the further con-

foreign ones will work wonders.

catalogue houses continue to increase

right way will be effective in lessen

When the masses learn that every

foreign houses that are taking trade

Last week the Ely Miner comes
out with an article to the effect
that the trains on this line do not
run on a time that will make the
hotel business at that place sue
cess. We are sorry that such a
circumstance should exist, but are
inclined to think that should an
other change be made to satisfy
the people of Ely and be detri-
ment to the business men here,
there would be kicking from this
end of the line. But of course, on
the other hand, if change could
be made in the time of trains SC
that the business men of Ely could
be benefited without hurting the
business here, there would be nc
objection whatever. Before the
last change the Ely hotels had the
long end of the business and Tower
tpok what was left. There was nc
complaint then and should be none

bill was presented by W. H. Putnam,

Representative Grant of Duluth pre-
siding, the L. G.. Spooner bill for ac-
ceptance by the state of the Indian
school property at Morris from the
federal government. The report of
the special committee sent to look at
the property was to the effect that
the farm and bulldogs together were
fully worth 100000. The only con-
dition with the gift is that the state
maintain the institution as an agri-
cultural school, and admit Indians
free of tuition. Mr.. SpOoner explain
ed. however, that there are no Indians
within 200 miles and therefore very
few would ever attend, and it Is for
this reason the federal government is
ready to surrender the property. DIR.

to the bill, ably aided by Messrs.
Adams and Washburn. Messrs. Matt.

to accept such a free gift. Gates

he was glad to shoulder the response

of taking trip to Washington to
