RELICS OF French

HEARTHsToNE BELIEVED TO BE.
200 YEARS OLD uNEARTHED p
NEAR TAYLoRS FALLS.

ST. Paul, Aug. 22.-The hearthstone
of the early French voyageurs who
made their headquarters in the stone
house at Taylors Falls, was uncovered
Yesterday by workmen digging up the
foundation in search of early relies. A
fireplace about four feet square, with
a. wide hearthstone in front Of it, was
found in the ruined wall deep beneath
the turf. It was built of rough rocks
cemented apparently with mud. The
chimney is gone.
Hazard in Charge.
George H. Hazard, commissioner of
the Interstate park, where the ruin Is
located. has been experimenting the
unearthing of the old foundation.
Bones, probably of big game eaten by
the early dwellers, and a quantity of
ashes and charcoal were found about
the hearth. Bits of baked clay that
appeared to be fragments of clay pipes
were found in the ashes.
The ruin is located near the foot of
Folsums island. 1t was ruin in 1881
when Joseph Brown went into the st.
Croix district to trade with the Indians.
Mr.. Hazard thinks it is fully 200 years
old.
A large blackberry tree is growing
over the ruins.
Knives of evident French make were
dug up at the ruin forty years ago.

Ter to borrow money from banks than
to dispose of our bonds at any rate

taking. The banks holding these

We do not feel justified to answer
your question as to whether or not
the city would be in a position to
raise s250,000 to make this requir-

be defeated in its efforts to secure
municipal ownership of these proper

method of securing the properties is
successful would necessitate the rails

cure information from the companies
that might lead to a mutual agree
ment on our utility problems but we
have been unable to make any pro-
gress whatever further than hereto

while the city cannot build a plant
TO compete with the electric company
IL can compete with the gas plant If
it so desires.

]. II. Rankin introduced a peculiar
phase into the discussion when he an
nounced that the city received into
its park fund under the electric and
gas franchise three per cent of the
gross receipts of these utilities. He
said that this represented an annual
business of $4,000 which he declar-
ed to be in excess OF the valuation
placed on the plants of the two com
panies by the assessor.
John Wolf suggested that mas
much as many people objected TO
taking the profit-producing electric
plant away from the company and
leaving II only the deficit making
railway that the city take over the
electric plant as IS now planned and
then appropriate money to keep the
interurban running.
Bucklin. in speech No. 5. declared
his belief that the interurban and

condemned. He said that If II did
that the city could then purchase or

than could be done now.

TANNING SKINS

The following method of tanning
skins for mats and rugs, recommend
ed by a South African farmer, may
be useful to some of our readers:
Make strong lather with hot wa
ter and soap-but use 1t when cold
and wash the fresh skin, being care
full to get all the dirt out from the
wool or fur. II is best to plunge the
skin right into the lather. After
well washing in the lather rinse clean
in cold water Dissolve one pound
each of salt and alum in two gal
Ions of hot water (of course II skin
is very large 1t may take more, nut
these are the proport ons of the mix
ture. } Soak the skin in 1t for Twelve
hours, and hang It on pole, flesh
downwards, to drain. When well
drained, stretch IL several times dur
ing the process of drying Il nail 1t
fur downways and wire nails so that
the air can pass underneath it,. Be
fore 1t is quite dry sprinkle 1t on the
flesh side with one ounce each of
powdered alum and saltpetre, and rub
it well in. If the fur or wool is then
found to be firm on the skin, 1t can
then be folded up and allowed to dry
thoroughly turning 1t over from day
to day; then scrape the flesh side with
blunt knife and rub It with pumice
stone or fine sandpsper. ! have found
this recipe excellent for sheep, goats
and small animals skins. -Australi-
