the effect that everything he said

out the other.

Tommy.
The next evening his father
asked: What are you learning at

8OO,OOO,OOO FEET
OF j. 5. TIMBER
SLATED FOR SALE
California Lumber Company
to Get Part of Sierra
Forest.

Within the next few days the United
States Government will close a contract
with a big California lumber company
for the sale of 500. 900 feet of timber
In the Sierra National Forest.
Chief Forester Graves is now on his
way to San Francisco to make final
terms for the cutting of this vast
amount of timber, in such manner that
the forest will not be damaged.
Under the terms of the sale the final
signing of the contract will not take
place until the company has been
shown on the ground what timber the
Government will reserve from cutting,
In order to preserve good forest condi-
tions, provide for reproduction, and in
sure future growth
Assistant Forester w. B. Greeley left
Washington several days ago for San
francisco to act as a member of the
marking board" which will carefully
mark sample area, to show how the
restrictions on cutting will be applied
Inc other members of the board will

sierra forest and an inspector from the

This marking board will, 1t is under

stand to be cut over.

Graves said that a part of the public,
at least, was much perturbed by SO
gigantic sale of the Governments

OYSTER SEASON IS
NEAR AS MELONS
BECOME SCARCER
Fish Market Steady, But
Some Varieties Are
Not Plentiful.

Although the oyster season is not yet
In full swing, each day shows an in
crease In the bivalve business on the
local wharves, and within ten days or
two weeks the season will be running
full-fedged. So far the only men doing
business are those whose establishments
are devoted exclusively to oysters, but
other dealers who also handle fish are
getting things in shape to take care Of
a goodly supply.
1t Is believed the weather will grow
considerably cooler within the next
week, and II so, the oyster business at
once will assume larger proportions
Oysters in the shell were worth from 40
to 80 cents a bushel, while those that
had been shucked brought from 90 cents
to 81 a gallon.
Watermelons are almost gone. Dealers
said today that only two more boatloads
are expected, and these will arrive early
next week.
The fish market is somewhat steadier
than usual. Both Jersey and Norfolk
trout have risen a little and are now

about normal. jersey Is selling at Ss
today, as against 81 a week ago. while
Norfolk is worth IS instead OF 50 last
week.
The season for soft crabs is almost
over. Thirty cents a dozen is the quo
tation today. but very few are selling.
Hard crabs. however. continue steady
at l.5o barrel. Catfish have slumped
badly, and there is almost no market
for them. Bluefish had dropped from
10 cents TO cents. with sales slow.
while rockfish is down from 10 cents to
cents.
Butterfish has been scarce for the
last few days. and is worth SO a bar
rel today. nearly twice as much as the
normal price of this fish. The other
varieties are about the same as last
week. Halibut is worth II cents. croak-
ers 8 cents, Spanish mackerel 121s cents,
Goldfish cents. pollock, cents. and
sturgeon Is cents, while clans are still
worth so cents a hundred.

THINKS THE WHITE
ESK|MOS Of ARCTIC
CIRCLE LOST TRIBE
National Museum Authority
Believes Stefansson Can
Prove His Case.

The lost tribe of Europeans, the white
Eskimos whom Vilhjalmar Stefansson
found in the Arctic circle, are 'old
friends" of the scientists of the Ma
tional Museum and the Smithsonian In
stitution. Whether these lost tribes ex-
isted in some fastness of the North IL
point OF controversy among ethnolo-
gtsts.
DR.. Walter Hough, of the chronological
department Of The National Museum,
Is one OF the greatest living authori-
ties on the American aborigines, and he
believes the explorer will be able to
demonstrate the truth Of his statements.
There are three important. features
or Stefanssons announcement" says
Or; Housh. He speaks OF finding many
Esklmos with blue eyes. reddish hair,
Esklmos are In reality descendants OF
the lost colonlsts OF Greenland 1T is
most interesting to know that this type
pas pa wnlte at,na man has has survived so long and
teristics. Very few Eskimos are ever
found with blue eyes.
The second important %phase OF the
announcement, in my estimation, is the
statement that Stefansson took measur-
ments of a large number OF the males
and found that the facial index was the
same as that of the Eskimo Scandi-
navian half-bloods of Greenland, and are
not typically Eskimo.
The third important thing about this
discovry is the fact that Stefansson has
evidently located a tribe that had prac-
tically no contact with white men and
civilization for some centuries There
are very few places in the world today
where such tribes may be found free
from the influence of visits from the
so-called civilized white man."
According to the Government scien-
lists. DR.. Charles Rink. of Copenhagen,
has written an interesting book which
discusses the mysterious disappearance
of the ancient Scandinavian colonists
of Greenland
According to the sagas Of the Ice
landers," says DR.. Rink, they met the
Eskimos on the east coast of Greenland
about the year 1000, and at almost the
same time on the south coast of the
American continent, In the so-called
Vinland. In 1866 an expedition was sent
out for the purpose of exploring the
abodes of the Skraelings, as the Eski-
mos were called by the colonists.
I'm 1439 the northernmost settlement
was attacked by the Eskimos. About
1450 the last accounts were received from
the Scandinavian colonists, and the way
to Greenland was entirely forgotten in
the mother country. II is the evident
theory of Stefansson. as of other scien-
lists that the white Eskimos are de-
scendants Of the lost Scandinavian col
onists of Greenland, who disappeared
before 1850"

Here's job big enough for the
Troy Chamber of Commerce.
There is no use to ask the trans
portation companies of the country
to direct a stream of newcomers
this way unless we have lands to
offer them when they come. 1t
will be ell accomplishment second
in Importance only to the through
road to get the lands of the large
foreign corporations of the county
in the open market.
"The forest reserve is throwing
open land to settlers. But govern
ment land is interesting only to
homesteaders. Farmers with money
to buy land for fruit orchards,
dairies and general farming are in
terested in lands that can be pur-
chased. There are thousands and
thousands of acres of privately
owned land in this county, much
of it near Troy, but these lands
are in the possession of the corpor-
atoms, and they are. not selling
them. The building of a through
road and bridges will be one great
step in the right direction. If the
Troy boosters clnb could prevail
upon the land holding corporations
of Lincoln county to place their
lands on the market in small par
cells that would be another great
step. 1t would be a mighty
achievement by the chamber. Once
we have roads to travel and large
tracts of land for sale then we will
be ready to flood the east with lit
erature describing our resources,
and ready to bring in trains of
homeseekers such as have been
brought into other parts of Mon
tana. Then an era of great and
rapid settlement should set in.
This is work that should be initia-
ted by every chamber of commerce
IN Lincoln county, and there is no
way by which this organization
could so signally distinguish itself
as by assuming the lead in such d
movement
