may have railway connections with the
rest OF Chile.
Nevertheless, Punta Arenas is an up-to-
date municipality. Fifteen years ago the
greater part of IL was still In the woods.
Stumps still stood IN the principal streets.
and In the rainy season the roads were
rivers of mud Today the town is well
paved and It has a plaza surrounded by
good houses and stores. The streets are
lighted by electricity, and there arc
churches and schools. The government
has recently erected a wireless station,
and the navigation Of tho straits Is being
greatly improved. The value OF the city
property Is now estimated at more than
$1OOO0.OOO.
The people of Punta Arenas are of a
dozen different nations. and they come
from all parts Of the world. There ars
English and Germans, and also many
Danes, Nerweglahs and swedes, who
have large share in the navigation Of
the straits. There are Australians and
Italians. and also Chileans and Indians
Some Of the most successful business
men are Scotehmen. and the Scotch have
large interests in the sheep industry.
Indians Dying Out.
The Indians of the strait of Magellan
are fast dying out. l doubt whether
there are now, all told. more than 1000,
although they numbered three times as
many q decade ago. AS 1t is. the onas
and Yaghans the largest tribes, have
almost disappeared, and the canoe In
dams, or Alacalufes. are fewer than ever.
have seen all of these various Indian
tribes. The Alaoalufes I met when l
Travelled through smythes Channel some
years ago. These Indians are seldom seen
by theStraveler. They live in the islands
about smythes Channel and in the west
ern parts of the TERRA del Fuegan archi-
pelago. They go about in canoes and
subsist on what they can get from the
sea and on the roots that they dig up on
land, They sleep sometimes in their
canoes and sometimes on land. In the
latter case they build wigwams about q
yard high, made by bending over the
branches Of low trees and tying them to-
gether. The wigwams are used only for
sleeping. They are so low that the In
dams have TO crawl in on their hands
and knees. and the cooking must be done
on Il fire built In the canoe or on the
ground outside Of the wigwam.
The Alaoalufe canoes that saw were
well constructed. and some OF them were
fifteen feet long. a yard wide and about
two feet in depth. They were made OF
strips OF bark sewn together with sinews
and fastened to ribs which ran across
the canoe. Each boat had its fire. which

permanent homes he would surely destroy
them. They are much taller than the
Alacalufes, aithossh they are not giants,
as they have boon described The men
are about six feet In height and the
women perhaps six Inches lower.
Now Dress Like whites.
In the past the most OF these onas
went naked. save for a coat Of fish oil
and n Euanaco skin. which they wrapped
around their shoulders Today they are
almost all clad like the whites. although
they stir use the skins "a an extra pro-
lection, I am told that they have be
come subject to colds and consumption
and pneumonia since they hogan wearing
clothing. and that those diseases have
killed them OFF by scores They are also
no better for tho foreign food that they
have now and then, and their normal
death rate IL now so great that the race
wifi soon disappear
The Onas are found principally In the
northern part OF TERRA del Fuego, They
are plains Indians, and are hunters
rather than fishers The Yaghans aro
found moro in tho southern portions OF
the islands. They are Fishers rather
than hunters. and they have been mis-
represented as associated with the
Alacalufes. and some travellers have de-
scribed them as the most miserable
specimens of humanity ON the western
hemisphere. This Is, not so Mr. Bridges.
n missionary. who has been living
among them for something Ike fifty
;ears, says they have excellent quail
ties. He denies that they are cannibals
and that they eat meat which is not
cooked. Before the missionaries came
the Yaghans had several wives, but the
intermHrTlage OF relatives was looked
upon as abominoble. They lived in
groups OF twenty or thirty families, and
at night sat around the fires In front of
their wigwams. DR.. Bridges describes
tho Yaghans as good-natured and not
unintellgent. He says they have O.
language OF their own, which contains
no less than 5000 words. This IL in
striking contrast 90 the Eskimos, who
are said to use less than 10000 words,
and TO the Bible, which has altogether
only 400 different words.
These Yaghans have also been injured
by the wearing of clothing, They for
merry numbered about 5000 souls. but
smallpox. the measles. pneumonia and
tuberculosis have cut them down until
there are now only a few hundred.
They may have gained in civilization,
but they have lost their rugged health.
and are physically on the road to de-
struction. The missionaries say that
some OF them have learned to read and
write, and above all ito fear God and
keep His commandments. AZ the pres
ent death rate, however, the best of
them will soon be in heaven.

and some cooked the while over the Goals.
The Alaca,ufcs arc perhaps the low
est OF all the human race. They are
more like beasts THAI men Those I
saw were almost naked. although there
was snow On the ground and the winds
were bitter cold A few II them
had on guansco skins. which half Gov

OF rags that only accentuate1 their
nakedness / remember one man who
wore rag apron as big as woman's
handkerchief tied to u string about his
waist and excepting this only short
vest open at the front and hat THIS
man padded the boat. aud his wife sat
at the stern and steered. The woman
was naked to the waist and she was
sucking baby clad In little more
than string OF beads and breech
cloth. Che held the naked baby to
her breast with one hand and steered
the boat with the other. Another wife
near the PROV aided in padding. She
had u guanaoo skin tied around her
waist but the upper part OF her body
was bare. She bent beck and forth as
the oar rose and fell Ia the water.
Navigation ~. Dangerous.
During our stay in the straits We had
to tie up every night as tho navigation
was too dangerous TO risk after dark.
Al every anchorage number OF these
canoe Indians came to cur steamer. All
were understood. but the most OF them
were plump and fat. and not few had
paint on their faces and. bodies. Their
faces were something like those OF the
North American lnlans. They had
black hair and brown skins, and their
teeth were white and apparently good.
They had skins and furs to sell, or
rather trade. for they knew nothing OF
money They snapped them for knives.
food and beads. They were evidently
afraid OF us, and would not come on
board. We dickered with them over
the side of the vessel, they staying In
their canoes the while. They were
shrewd and they often got the better Of
the bargain. The things they most
wanted were tobacco, candy and cake
They we're ready to trade for biscuits
or cigars or tobacco In any shape, and
they seemed quite as anxious TO get to-
bacco as food.
The Onas and Yaghans are the Indian
tribes of the island OF TERRA del Fuego,
They are of higher civilization than
the AlacaIufes, and OF late they have
been 40 changed by the missionaries that
their savage traits are fast passing away

Oklahoma City, Nov S.-Fifty out
of seventy seven counties have sent
returns to the State Election Board,
and official canvass was made today.
These counties show that the West
initiated amendments. including thu
legislative and judicial reform, are
probably defeated.
Each of the amendments received
a large majority of the votes on
those questions, but they all failed
to get anything like a majority of all
the votes polled, which is required by
the constitution in case of initiated
measures. The largest affirmative
vote was on the gross production tax,
81 ,754. The total vote cast was 15S,
916, showing an overwhelming ma
jority against the amendments

GAS WE'LL NEAR McALESTER.

McAlester, Okla, Nov. S.-Late
Friday evening a gas well was
brought in at Scipio, on the western
border of this county, twenty miles
from McAlester. The volume is large.
Gas was found there during the sum
mer. at the same depth, 500 feet,
but it caught fire and the plant was
destroyed Later the company went
to a depth of 1000 feet seeking oil,
abandoned the we'll and started the
present one This is on line di-
rectly north from the Ashland dis
trict, where it is claimed several
large gas flows were found and the
wells capped There are two fran
chises which have been granted in
this city which will expire in a
short time if the proponents do not
get natural gas in here. They have
much hope in the Scipio discovery.

his reserves here for any campaign
that might become possible south
toward the City of Mexico. All
trains have been suspended and all

Villa has ordered all of his troops,
even the reserves, who have been
working their ranches, to report at
the various central cuartels to pre-
pare for another battle if it comes.
Many of the troops that fought at
Torreon and Zacatecas and Saltillo
were permitted to return to their
families, taking their arms with them
and often their horses, which they

A general mobilization order has
been issued from the headquarters
here and Villa will have his full
force of $4,000 seasoned campaign
ers in the field at once to accom-
pany Gutierrez to Mexico City. How
many of these will be brought here

IN LAST TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
MORE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT
FOR THIS PURPOSE THAN
THERE is IN THE WORLD.

There is no escaping taxation
abroad. 1t is driven right into the
vitals of the people, rich and poor
alike. Like death, it has to be. In the
last twenty-five years the six great
military nations, England. France,
Germany. Austria, Italy and Russia,
have spent about $4,000, ,OO0O 900 to get
ready to fight one another. None of
them has had single war with any
of its neighbors during that time Just
stop and think what S4O,0OO,OOO, 900
means. The farms of the United States
are worth only $40 O,O0O0OO. The to-
tai wealth of England is only about
$50 ,O0O, 100000. Forty billions is ap-
proXimately three times the money in
the world. Yet every dollar has been
spent merely getting ready for war
that good people really thought
would never come II did come more
swiftly, suddenly and murderously
than the widest jingo had conceived
possible, and it is going to cost some
thing, too
Now, you can't raise 100000, 100000
without going after it hard. \ great

tors OF Europe to the French Cham

There is no limit to the financial
resources of a European power, be-
cause there is no form of wealth that
is left intact 1t may be only little
annoying and mostly amusing to the

Aguas Calientes, Mexico, Nov s.
All factions are apparently turning
to Villa as the only one who can
bring order out of the chaos which
the three years war has wrought.
Even Carran2a's own generals, eX-
cepting his brother, and Jesus
Carranza are ready to turn against
him, according to reliable informa-
tion brought to the headquarters here
from the Carranzista territory.
Villa, who probably could have
been named president by the peace
conference if he had wished it, in
sists that he does not want office,
and that Gutierrez will have his sup
port. Gutierrez is already wayering,
however, and may yet resign before
going south to Mexico City. The
only thing villa has ever considered
has been the position of national
chief of police, which would give him
command of the rurale forces in
restoring peace in the rural dis
tricts. Such position would be to
his liking, and it is believed could
be had for his asking from Gutter
