which they ..mush, walk over the
trail to the various camps. Our work
is very rough; by this mean the sur
face of the country is rough, and the
material 80 per cent solid rock. 1t is
rot unusual to have a cutting of from
SO to 20 feet on one side of the center
line and an embaHkment of an equal
height to build on the other side. It is
a difficult piece of work to build and
the work is hard to stake out or to get
over. In order to get co mile 81 | have
to take boat and go with the tide to
mile SO, then the hardships begin.
Glacialestreams are numerous and must
be crossed, the bed is full of stone
brought down by the glaciers, which
are continually rolling and changing
position, making the footing uncertain
for man or horse. Then there is the 20
mile river to cross. The tide backs up
into the stream and its bed of quick
sand is never at the same elevation for
"a hours. We much prefer to wade
these streams when we can do so, al
though no one could resist the current
when walking in depth of three feet
of water, and at a less depth. The
quickSand in some streams and rolling
stones in others make it dangerous
proceeding, especially so when one is
carrying an instrument. The water is
as cold as ice and we are in it more or
less every day. Have been having a
rainy season for the past two weeks,
prior to four days ago, but the past few
DAYS have been fine, much like Noyem-
Der weather in southern Wisconsin.
Daylight we have in abundance and no

artificial light, and / am writing now
at 10 p. m. 1t is twilight from about
IL p. m. to 2 a. M, but at any time
during the night one could read paper
without artificial light. Flowers are in
bloom here and they grow at the very
foot of the glaciers. We have one gla-
cier about three miles from camp which
is at least 70 feet high and cannot es-
innate its length or width. 1t is per-
fectly dazzling in the sunlight. wish
might tell you of our trip from Seat
tie to Seward by steamer and the beau
tiful scenery. 1t surpasses any have
ever seen in the United States or Mex
leo. We made the trip in six days and
were eight days on the boat from Sew

by Sheldon and Cook Inlet, and having
rough weather and seas Which COM

at anchor much of the time. | will tell
you of the trip when | see you and also
of the natives we have here. We have
plenty of moose and bear here and we
have the meat served every day; the
former is very fine and much prefer
able to beef. Of course we have fish
in abundance, salmon, cod and halibut,
also salmon trout and the mountain

the Seward end of the work. We have
35 men at Glacier Creek saw mill, 80 at
the camp here, and have sublet nearly
three miles Of rock work to six con-
tracing firms who are working about
20 men each. We board them in our
three camps and will soon establish
another camp. This is the force at
this end We charge $500 per week
for board and the boarders furnish their
own blankets. We pay $500 per day
for unskilled labor and from $500 to
Sc. 90 per day for skilled labor. Fore
men receive from 500 to $3.50 per
month and board. Every day is work

T. & S. Valuations

Filings of appraisals on land APP
piled for under the timber and stone
law continue to come in at the u.
S. Land Office, and from them the
information is gathered that every
case will stand on its own basis and
that no general deduction can be
made as to how much more will
have to be paid for timber and stone
land than formerly. In some in
stances the price will not be much
if any higher than the old fiat price
of So. so an acre.
Applicants who file for land un-
der the timber and stone law must
state that they consider the land
chiefly valuable for timber and
stone. OF course stone in north
eastern Minnesota has about the
same market value that Lake Sup
erior water has. In some instances

Several endless chain prayers
have been received by various peo-
pie in Ely during the past three
weeks. Each person receiving a
copy is instructed to write to nine
different friends for nine consecu-
tive days, and these i'll turn are to
do likewise. The instructions
which go with the prayer are as
follows: Write nine letters for
nine days, one letter a day to nine
different friends, and when writing
make wish which may be a pray
er. 1t is said in Jerusalem that he
who will write this prayer for nine
days to nine different friends will
experience some great JOY theninth
day. He also will be delivered
from all ca1amities; but he who will
not write will meet with some mis-
fortune. There is a postal ruling
against this class of mail matter.
Cards containing the prayer are
confscated but letters cannot be
opened. Besides all are cautioned
not to sign the same.

Want Money Back

Those who have homesteaded'
and filed on timber and stone
claims in what is now the 1,O0O,-
OOO-acre tract of land that has
been set aside as the Superior Nat
ional forest desire to know how
they are going to be reimbursed.
The government will take for
forest preserve purposes all the
land that lies within the limits
that have been fixed. Those who
are interested are making inquiries
daily at the United States land Of
fee in the federal building to learn
how those who were in the region
before the president declared the
land to be withdrawn from settle
nent or entry, will be cared for.
The Duluth land office has re-
ceived no information as to how
those in charge at Washington pro-
pose to deal with the holders of
land in the forest reserve. Home
steaders and timber and stone
claimants may have their lands con-
demned and appraised and settle
made on that basis or they may Sc
lect other lands not in the national
forest.
Many Duluth men and others in
various parts of the country hold
timber and stone land in the forest
preserve. The proclamation of the
president was issued Feb. 13, and
it is expected that directions from
Washington will be received as to
how those deprived of their claims
are to be settled with.-News Tri-

field division of the land office have
reported that the land for which
some one has applied has not a
dollars worth of timber on it.
Some in making application have
stated that they intend to start a
stone quarry on the property.
There is speculation as to what
the conclusion of the authorities at
Washington will be in the case of
those applications where man has
stated he is buying the land for the
timber when it would be impossible
for tree to grow on it. Timber

A BOTTLE BETWEEN THEM.

There is no better evidence OF
good feeling in the family than the
division between husband and wife or
the contents of the same bottle OF
medicine. AS the old soldiers used 10
say of an old comrade, 1--WE drank
out of the same canteen."
Here is case in point:
bought a bottle of your 60S8 for
my wife who was suffering with rheu-,
matism. She used one-half bottle and
is entirely cured. I took the balance
of the bottle for tonic and blooc
purifier and found it to do all that IS
claimed for it,

The following paragraphs of interest
to Honolulans are from the Sunday
Chronicle of January 10:
One of the notable events of the past
week was Miss Helene Twins lunch,
con for Miss Florence Hopkins, but
there were any number of small parties
among the younger girls. Misses Irene
and Kathleen Farrell have had crowd
ed week and the important party in
their vision was the luncheon given
Thursday at the Francesca club.
The marriage of Miss Ethel Amweg
and Walter Scott is, so far, indefinitely
set for next April and is to be heralded
by an ever increasing program of de.
lightful social affairs in their honor.
Miss Amweg's literary talent is accom-.
panied by much modesty on her part
and she disclaims as much as she can
the credit she has gained in the pub,

work in eastern magazines.
Mrs. Edward A. Sturges left last week
for Honolulu after a brief visit here
that was croded with informal enter

Agnes Montgomery, and her sister, Mrs.
Charles Stewart, was among those who
entertained in honor of the visitor. Mrs.

the resolution appropriating money for
the pay of court interpreters and the
City Attorneys special detective was
received, the message stating that:
This resolution, in the methods it
provides for drawing the money it ap-
propriates from the City and County
treasury is Identical with a 'Resolu-
ton making appropriations for the va
rions services of the City and County
| of Honolulu, which I returned to You
without my approval January Is, 1909.
The reasons which led me to withhold
my approval of that resolution, apply
with equal force to this, in so far as
the methods are concerned bv which
the money appropriated is to be drawn
from the treasury. Those reasons set
out at length in my communication to
you of January Is, 1909, / hereby re-
peat, by reference thereto, as my rea-
sons for disappearing this resolution.
The methods of drawing the money ap.
proprlated, from the Treasury are, it
seems to me, loose. vague and Illegal,
and IN express derogation of Section
50 of the Municipal Act.v
Tins message was filed for eonsidera.
ton and the board adjourned until this
afternoon, at half past four clock.
