Forest County Boys in Canadian Wilds

Messrs. A. R. and w. r. Wheeler and
Frank Witherell, of Endeavor, Pa, and
L. X. Wheeler, of Portville, N. Y. re-
turned last week from fishing trip in
the Thunder Bay district of Ontario,
north of Lake Superior. Arriving at
Jack Fish on the Oath of August, they set
out the following morning from Clear.
water Lake, four miles from Jack Fish,
taking four sixteen foot canoes and four
guides-s head guide, cook and two
Ojibway Indians. With the intention of
fishing on the Kenogami, which runs
into Hudson's Bay, they padded and
portrayed one hundred and forty miles
north 10 the hudson's Bay Company post
on Long Lake. But the water In the
Kenogami was too high from continued
rains and the party turned back at once
toward Lake Superior, descending the
Upper Steel River TO Mountain Lake.
On this route they we're wind bound half
day on one of the largest lakes and en-
countered some exciting rapids, in one OF
which two canoes capsized. Fortunately,
little of serious importance was lost, ex-
cept the reflector, used for baking bread.
Descending Mountain Lake, the party
camped four days at the falls of the Lower
Steel, where they took some good trout,
five of which were over eighteen inches
long, the largest nineteen and one-balf
oil ad
trout. Pike we're found in great num-
bers all the way up and back, particularly
in the lakes. The largest taken was
caught by Mr.. Witherell on troll. Pike
perch are also fairly common. AS for
game, L. r. and W. r. Wheeler and the
two Indians killed with two revolvers a
pair of cub bears on the Upper Steel.
The old she-bear that was with the cubs
was hit, but got away. Other trophies,
besides the bearskins, were pair of car
ibou horns, subsequently lost in the rap
ids, and huge moose antler, which can
not be sent on till the open season. Spruce
grouse, and a snack of caribou meat
bought from some Indians, were addi-
tions to the grub supply.
AS far north as the Height of Land"
the country is harsh and rocky, timbered
with spruce and jack pine. Beyond the
Height of Land the country slopes more
slowly to Hudson's Bay, with wide
stretches of clay lands. On all the way
north and south, through twenty lakes
and thirty portages and rivers besides,
there was no settlement of any kind, ex-
cept temporary Indian camp.
From the Falls the party descended the
Lower Steel to its mouth on Lake Super
ior, where A. r. Wheeler and Frank
Witherell ca nped for two days after the
other two left for home, and near where
they had some fast fishing in a spring
lake, alive with trout, leaving Jack Fish
at last September llth.

We had the pleasure of looking into {
basket of fruit one day last week that wat
calculated to make ones mouth water
There were apples that weighed IS or q
ounces and measured IA inches around
the girth; rosy-cheeked peaches that com
pared with the incest that come from the
regular peach belt; red plums as large as
shell-bark hickory nut with the bark
still on, and great clusters of white grapes
which no California production could
touch for sweetness end flavor. The
basket came from the orchard and arbors
of Charles Shsffer and s. e. Church, o.
Church Hill, Hickory township, and con-
tanned the evidence that for fruit growing
no section of this big country has it on
Forest county in any particular. We
have the climate and soil, all that is
needed is the cultivation and rational care,
and that rests entirely with the man.
Great interest is being manifested
among Sunday school workers in every
county in the state over the great State
Sunday School Convention to be held in
New Castle, Pa, October II, II and l3,
1911. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia,
and II. J.. Heinz, of Pittsburg, are both
back of great forward movement that
will greatly stimulate the Sunday school
work in every part of the state. Every
county will send delegates. The program
promises many unique features. Hon.
X. P. Hobson will make the principal
address on Thursday. Other speakers OF
national and international note will take
part on the program. Sunday school
workers from Forest county desiring to
attend this convention can secure dele
gates credentials from Mrs. S. II. Secor,
corresponding secretary of the county, at
Nebraska.
"A change in proprietorship of Hotel
Weaver is scheduled to take place within
the next ten days, Mr.. Weaver having
disposed OF the property to Joseph Rensi,
of Psrlett, Jefferson county, Ohio. 1t is
expected that the transfer will be made
on the 10th of October, when the new pro-
prietor will assume charge of the popular
hostelry. Mr.. Weaver's retirement and
removal from Tionesta will be very
greatly regretted, not alone by the people
of this borough, but throughout the en-
tire county and by the travelling public
in general. AS citizen and hotel man
we doubt whether our town has ever had
one more popular, and his place will be
difficult to fill. Mr.. Weaver expects to
go into business in Niagara Falls, to
where he will move his family in short
time. They will be much missed in Tio-
nesta where they have resided so long,
and in their departure will bear with
them the best wishes of all our people.

FREIGHT RATES COMPARED

Atlanta. Ca, May, 1.-THE rea-
sonableness Of the freight charges Of
American railways is strikingly shown
by comparison of the statistics Of
the railways OF Prussia with those Of
railways included in the States of
New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Maryland. These States have
nearly the same area and nearly the
same railway mileage as Prussia.
The latest statistics available for the
Prussian roads are for 1908, in which
year the average charge for hauling
ton OF freight one mile on the roads
OF that country was lao cents. In
the same year the average charge for
hauling ton OF freight one mile on
the railways Of the group of States
above referred to was but sixty-four
hundredths Of one cent. In other
words, the average freight charge Of
the Prussian roads, in 1908, was
nearly two and one-Gfth times as great
as that on the American roads. This
difference is the more remarkable
when considered in connection with
the fact that American railway wages
are nearly three times as great as
those Of Prussian. On the roads in
the group OF States referred to the
average daily wages Of employeesI
exclusive of general officers, was
S217. On the Prussian roads the
average daily wages amounted to but
76 cents. In other words, while the
Prussian roads had to haul only 54
tons one mile to earn enough to pay
the average daily wage of one en-
pIoyee, the American roads had to
haul 339 tons one mile to earn enough
to pay the average daily wage of one
Of their employees. The explanation Of
the ability of the American roads
to carry freight at rates so far below
Itle Pru an rates while paying was S
nearly three times as great, is found
in the greater efficiency OF American
railway operation and management.
This is illustrated by the fact tha moi.
withstanding their disadvantages Of
high wages and low rates, the average
gross revenues per mile of the freight
trains in the States referred to amount
to S2.98, as compared with S267 foI
the Prussian roads. This is brough
about by the heavier carloads anc
heavier train loads hauled on the
American roads. The average capac
ity of freight cars on the Prussial
roads in 1908 was only 81 tons
There are few cars on the American
:, roads that do not exceed the capacit.
Of the the Prussian cars and the aver
age in 1908 as IS tons. The aver
age Prusian train-load in 1908, wa
= but 19l tons, while the average 70
the group Of States referred to wa
1854 tons.
