MANY USES RECORDED.
Birch Tree Has Been Utilized for Sew
eraI Purposes in the Past

From furnishing material for a
canoe in which to hunt whales some
hundred odd years ago to supplying
New England factories of today with
1900 cords of wood annually for
shoe pegs, and shanks, is according
to the Department of Agriculture, only
part of the services the birch tree
has rendered and is rendering the
people of America.
Sir Alexander Mckenzie, the de-
partment tells us in a bulletin Just
ISSUED on the uses of birch, hunted
whales in a brich bark canoe The
animals were found at the mouth of
the Mckenzie River. He failed to
strike the game, and concluded that
it was probably for the BEST While
the canoes are frail, it is pointed out
that the bark of which they are made
resists decay longer than any other
part of the tree.
1t would be difficult the depart
ment goes on to say, to estimate the
value of the service of the birch bark
canoe in the discovery, exploration,
development and settlement of the
northern part of the continent. From
the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes,
and southwark, for a century and a
half, that light but exceedingly SER
viceable vessel threaded the lakes
and rivers, bearing trade and carry
ing civilization wher no other boat
could go. The French explorers and
missionaries made journeys of hun
dredS of miles in these canoes, often
carrying cargo which would seem be-
yond the capacity of such frail YES
sells
Their ange of use to which the
! birch is put is surprisingly large. Ac-
cOrding to the department, the arti-
cles into which it goes range from
church pews to kitchen tables and
from organ pipes to newal posts. We
may have our first sleep in a birch
crib and our last in birch coffin.
! The SpOolS on which we get our cot
ton and silk thread are birch spools,
! and the lasts on which our shoes are
made are likely to be birch lasts. The
! largest of the SpOols hold $4,000 yards
and the smallest twenty yards The
woods beauty, strength and rightly
make it prominent as. a material for
musical instruments, and the same
qualities bring it into expensive use
| for flooring.
! Many people have an idea that shoe
pegs have nearly passed out of use,
/ but the amount of birch previously
mention as made into pegs and
shanks yearly in New England seem
to disprove this notion. Birch, the
department says, is often put on the
market in imitation of other woods,
and we may open many a door, sit
on many chair and write on many
a desk which we imagine to be ma
/ hogany, but which is really birch
stained to resemble the genuine ar
| ticle.
Nine species of birch grow in the
sUnited States, but sweet, yellow,
paper and river birch are those most
used. About 100000 board feet Of
F. the wood finds its way to the market
yearly. Paper birch, is one of the

village marshal and the deputy sheriff
located at that place. A few days ago
the marshal undertook'to make an ar
rest and it seems that the deputy sher-
iff did not approve of the manner in
which the marshal was handling his
prisoner, and demonstrated against the
proceeding. The marshal came back
at the deputy and there was mix up,
resulting in charge and counter
charge Of assault being filed, and
necessitating the sheriff and county
attorney making trip to Elk River to
settle the difficulty. just who is to
blame we are unable to learn and will
leave that for the court to settle.

Man Ordered Out of Hospi-
tai Passes Away in
Police Cell.

The second death to take place at

during the past year occurred yester-
day afternoon when Charles Thomas,

morgue, where the remains are being
held awaiting funeral arrangements.
About a week ago Thomas was taxi
en- to st Margaret's hospital suffering
from a severe case of pneumonia, and
with high fever. he became raving
maniac. After tearing a hole through
a partition with a piece of wood which
he had broken from a toilet. the sisters
ordered him taken TO the police station.
There he was given all the care and
medical attention that was possible,
but his condition became critical. as the
police station affords no suitable quar-
ters for a person as sick he was.
He was last seen alive by officer
Bunde. who talked with him about 800
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Think
ing he was sleeping the officers did not
disturb him until o'clock, when he
was found dead by officer Calvin.
The sisters of st. Margaret declare
that they could not handle his case. as
they were afraid the half-crazed man
would do more harm. After he had
| been removed to the central station
he gave the police officers but very
