SQUAW SEEKS MASTER
WHO CAST HER OFF

Ellensburg, Wash, Dec. 25.-After
having walked alone and unsheltered.
the entire distance of ~ miles from
the Yakima Indian reservation to FL
lensburg, old Julia George, the third
squaw of Big John Kitsap. hobbled
into the city, her feet bistered and
frost bitten and her wrinkled face
drawn and wan as the result of the
exposure to the bitter winds while
crossing the snow drifts of the Um-
tanum hills. Cast aside and aban-
doned by her former lord, old Julia
has spent the summer months with
friends on the reservation, living off
the bounty of Uncle sam, but last
week the longing for the Hitttas and
her lord and master became too keen
and the aged woman set out on foot
for Ellensburg.
Big John Kitsap recently appeared
before a priest with Mrs. George
Smith, widow of Kittitas Indian, and
was baptized and legally married and
now resides with his wife on her l60-
acre ranch, located on the river bot
Big John courted Mrs Smith openly
during the summer months, in spite
of the protests of his Julia, until her
ACCOMPLISHMENTS became severe. When
Julia. angry and hurt at her husbands
actions threatened to leave him, the
big buck bade her begone, and since
that time she has wandered between
the Kittitas valley and the reservation
making the long trip on foot. Early
last fall Julia came back to Ellens-
burg, and for several days waited
here to obtain sight of the man who
had cast her off, only to be disap-
pointed. At that time she confided
to T. w. Farrell that she would kill
herself unless John took her back
with him to his tepee. John failed
to come to town and Julia's visit was
without result. Now alone and
friendless Julia has come back, with
the avowed intention of making up
with John.

Edmonton, Alta, Dec. 25.--Work-
men digging a tunnel for trunk
sewer half mile north of the Sas-
kachewan river, which bisects the city
of Edmonton, unearthed at a depth

struction department, will invite sci
cntists of Canada and the United
states to give their opinions respect
ing the find. The discovery proves
that at one time the surface of the
land was al least 100 feet lower than
at present. However, it may be, ,ex-
perts say, that the river changed lts
course centuries before the coming OF
the white man to this country.

WATER SUPPLY FOR MINING.
Volume of Flow of Alaskan Rivers
Measured by United States Geologi-
cal Survey.


Since 1907 a special feature of the
Alaskan Investigations of the United
States Geological Survey has been the
determination of the water supply OF
the Yukon -Tanana region. Bulletin
52O-H, just issued, contains the data,
procured during the field season of
1911. The measurements by the en-
gineers of the Survey were made with
the regulation current meter, but as
water supply in minig districts Is an
important resource, and as rough es-
Inmates are sometimes of greatest VAL
ue, method of making flat measure
ments which can be readily under
taken by the prospector or the miner
is described in the bulletin.
The floats in common use are the
surface, subsurface, and tube or rod
floats. A corked bottle with flag
in the top and weighted at the bottom
makes one of the most satisfactory
surface floats, as it is affected but
little by wind In flood measurements
good results can be obtained by OBJ
serving the velocity of floating cakes
of ice or debris. In all surface-float
measurements the observed velocity
must be multiplied by 0S5 to 0.90 to
reduce it to the mean velocity, The
subsurface and tube or rod floats are
intended to give directly the mean We
locity in the vertical. Tubes give eX-
cellent results when the channel con-
ditions are good, as in canals.
In measuring velocity by a float
observation is made of the time taken
by the float to pass over the run
a selected stretch of river or creek
from so to 200 feet long. In each dis
charge measurement a large number
of velocity determinations are made
at different points across the stream,
and from these observations the mean
velocity for the whole section is de
termined.
The area used in float measurement
Is the mean of the areas at the two
ends of the run and at several inter-
mediate sections.

RUSSIA'S FOURTH DUMA
WILL BE REACTIQNARn

Berlin.-The result of the Russian
elections have surprised nobody Inc
fourth duma will be even more re-
dictionary than the third More than
one third of it's members belong TO
the extra wing of the reaction crea-
lures of the Holy synod, who IN con-
nection with the nationalsts Will con-
stitute the majority. The so-called
Octobrists will no longer hold the
balance of power and the opposition
parties do not constitute even one
third of the assembly. Under such
circumstances it is easy to believe the
general rumor that the chief procur-
ator of the Holy synod is to be Rus
sia's prime minister. This means
that the blacklist reaction will tri-
umph in Russia and do so even with
a certain right, as it controls the ma
| iority of the states in the duma.
! The reaction press and leaders, OF
/ course. are jubilant, while the MOD
crate and more sensible conservative
elements are greatly worried, as they
realize that this election will streng-
then the hands of the revolutionlsts'
This fear is justified when it is re-
membered that the victory of the
Holy synod is rue to the election
tricks of the most bareface kind. AS
an example of these, it is proved that
the polling places were chosen in the
most remote localities to which the
priests were sent at the expense OF
the government, while the electors OF
| the opposition had to remain away
because they could not afford the
heavy travelling expenses. The names
of people known to be liberal or rad,
ical were also stricken from the lists
in great numbers.

NApoLEoN's LIMITED LIBRARY.

In view of the recent talk about linz
ting the size of libraries il is interest
ing TO remember that Napoleon once
tried to make list OF all the books
i'm the World which were worth pre-
serving.
He believed when he sat down to
his task that a thousand volumes
would suffice. but the list grew under
his hands. and ultimately included 5000
volumes. Even so. however. there were
omissions of which Lord Rosebery and
Mr.. Edmund Gosse, as wen as the gem
eral reader, would have been likely to
complain. When the, Emperor came to
look over his first list he found that
he had unaccountably left out the BIZ
BILE. In his second list he forgot Ia
mention not only Virgil and Shake
speare but. very curiously. Moliere.
II was proposed TO print special
duodecimo edition Of the books on the
lcmperor's list and estimates were
called for The edition was to have
been expurgated by the omission of
"all useless parts" including ''all pass
ages I'm Greek or Latin" That OF
course was a grace addition to the cost
OF production, and IL was computed
that the undertaking would involve
the labor of 1875 compositors. twenty
five literary men and a director for six
years. and that the outlay for an edi-
tion of 100 copies would be not less
than c219,00O. Westminster Gazette.

Here is an extract from the article In
the Gazette long enough to reveal its
quality:
Cold is and always has been the
greatest enemy TO life. Life swarms
in the tropics, but leads n sorry exis-
tence at the poles: and this reminds us
of the chief argument of the all-bac-
terra biologists for colds. They will
say Immediately that Arctic explorers
do not suffer from colds until they re-
turn TO civilization. when they all
come down with colds" 1t may be
that the aiders and abettors of cold
in its production Of disease are absent
or in allegiance I'm the Arctic regions,
hut men who go into those regions
become so exhausted during their pro-
longed exposure that they are rem
dered upon their return TO warmer re-
gions an easy prey to the bacteria.
Even the Indians know enough to keep
themselves warm. and especially TO
guard against refrigeration of the eX-
tremities. A hunter in the Canadian
woods who, Notwithstanding his abb
sonce from civilization, took severe
cold, asked his sole companion. an In
iian guide. how to keep from taking
cold. He received the laconic reply
Keep your feet dry"
But this essavist does not go into all
the phases of the subject He empha-
sizes the undoubted fact that chill

little stress on other things that have
