French Scientist Points to Proof That
Norsemen Visited America In

IL Henri Cordier in the current num-
Der of the Journal des Savants calls
attention to a proof of the discovery
Of America in the eleventh century
which has hitherto passed unnoticed.
In the Saga of Eric the Red 1t is said
that when Thorfln Karlsefne returned
from MARYLAND" or Newfoundland, in
1905, he took back to Greenland with
him two children from the northern
land OF the Skraelings, and four words
Of their language are preserved in the
Saga. These words were thought by the
Greenlanders to be the names of the
children's parents or chiefs; but NJ
Cordier shows that they can be traced
to Esquimau phrases of the present
day, two of them meaning something
Ike "Wait moment" and 'the North

joins the statement of Prof. Waldemar

In the reservoir. The spillway will
act automatically. The reclamation
service has installed one of the fin
est electric plants in the Southwest
to construct the dam and to operate
It when finished. More than 1900
kilowatts of electromotor force are
generated and used on the project
each day.
The aerial railway or galloway be-
ing operated at the dam Is one OF the
most unique labor saving devices yet
invented. 1t has three 2 Id inch
steel cables and two-wheeled car
riages to carry material for the con-
struction of the dam across the cam
yon. These aerial transports are now
being used to place the cement In
the dam. There are three transports
and each carries about a ton of con-
crete. 1t will require many months OF
work to complete the laying of con-
crete in what now looks like an al
most bottomless pit.
When this work Is finished land
in the New Mexico-Texas project
will increase In value to from 5000
to $500 per acre in a remarkably short
time. The principal products that will
be raised on what Is in many places
now a barren desert will be alfalfa.
corn, wheat, melons, fruits and vege-
tables. The land will yield high av-
erage values per acre, under in
tensified cultivation. II will be one
OF the richest farming countries in
the world and will naturally be a
great benefit to FL Paso and be a
principal factor in making this a
city of 100000 within few years.
The completion Of this dam and
the irrigation Of the valleys will
bring millions OF dollars Of products
into this city each year. Business men

Miners WITHOUT
PICK OR shovel
Twenty Rarges Of Coal Wrecked
Three Years Ago-Interesting
Sight to be Seen.

Stanley, KY, June 25. )Specia1(-
At the head of French Island, in
the Ohio river, a few miles below
Greensboro, there is being carried
on a rather novel industry that
seems to reward, in a modest way,
those engaged in it. 1t is coal min
ing without pick or shovel or der
rick or car.
Three years ago Pittsburg coal
fleet of about twenty barges was
wrecked in a storm here and many
thousands of tons of high-priced
coal was emptied into the river
near the head of the bar that in low
water stretches several miles above
the island. This is the third sum-
mer, I believe, the coal cleaners
have combed the bar for the prec-
ious black diamonds, but the floods
of winter wash down a fresh sup
ply for the summer find. When the
spring floods are over and each
days decline of the river lengthens
the bar, these coal cleaners come In
their joboats early in the morning
to comb the shadows produced by
the nights fall. To see, early in
the morning, dozen or a score Of
these little boats sktmmine over
the CLASSY waters. gathering for the
days task, the spectacle reminds
the observer of stories of the old
days when the Indians swarmed
about the rivers in their frail Ca
noes.
These pickles. coal miners an
Choir their little boats up In the
shallow water and with a sack
strapped about their shoulders
wade out to their work. Little Of
the coal is ever uncovered by the
receding~ waters at night, so closely
are the shadows combed through
the day. From early morning until
the last boat is loaded to the guard
rail these folks wade back and
forth in the shallow water around
the sand bar feeling with their feet
for the sunken coal and when they
find a piece, they bend down, pick
1t up put it in the sack and go-on--
for the next strike. When the sack
grows weighty it is emptied into
the boat and this process is repeat
ed until the boat Is loaded. am
told these people make good wages
at this work and that they have lit
tie organization and no strikes.

Indians Mt Hartford July 5.

The greatest athletic novelty In
the world is the Nebraska Indian
Base Ball team which has created
so much comment by its brilliant
playing and wonderful success 1t has
achieved during its seventeen years
of travel throughout the United
States and Canada. II is a rare and
novel sight to see team of ball
players all of whom are marvellous
ly expert and also who are genuine
Indians. When they come to the
field with scowling faces and savage
warhoops some of the timid people
In the grand stand grow nervous
but the Indians are only showing
their irrepressible spirits and never
have trouble with anyone. II will
be a great treat to see them play
the Hartford team at East End

STATE UNABLE To
NY C0NFED. PENSIONS
Delay Is Caused Because State
Of KY, Has No Money for
Pensioners.

Frankfort, KY, June pa pro-
vision in the confederate pension act
that "the auditor shall issue the
warrants on the treasury for the re-
spective sum and the treasurer for
ward treasury checks to the address
of the pensioner" has given rise to a
problem which the auditor. treasurer
and pension agent have yet to solve.
A total of 504 pension claims has
been allowed and 1890 are ready to
be passed upon by the pension board.
II these claims are allowed before the
August pension day. 1t is estimated
that the state treasury will have to
be prepared to meet a disbursement
in August of 100000.
1t is the belief of the pension de-
partment that these claims will have
to be paid In checks and not In state
warrants. II this theory proves cor
rect. the state not having so much
money in hte treasury, 1t is possible
that it may be necessary to postpone
all payments of pension claims until
tn Legislature meets and makes a
special levy for the purpose. 1t Is
estimted thaat a levy of two and one
half cents will take care of the an
nual pension disbursement.

day arrives, how much satisfaction
will the matron derive from casting
a ballot which may be offset, three
or four to one. by ballots cast by
her maid servants? Will she find in
the mere act of public depositing OF
her vote sufficient compensation for
hours and days taken from the pre-
ferred society of her children to be-
stow upon political committees and

ments?
