Ottawa, Ont, Feb. ll.-All Canada has
been stirred to an indignant pitch by the

Jumping an

Henderson had been Woodworking
man all his life, most OF the time on
the frontier, where II any one trait is
developed II Is courage. When Hen
derson was fifty he found himself in
possession OF some wild land that was
not worth dollar an acre, and his
title to that was imperfect for the
want of certain name on the deed.
One day somebody struck oil In the
neighborhood of Henderson's property.
About that time Ernest Deering, a
young recent graduate OF a mining
school, came along on his way to In
vestigate some property for parties in
the east. He stayed overnight at
Henderson's house and was about to
) proceed in the morning when Hender-
son told him of his oil land. Deering
had inherited some money year be-
fore, and Henderson offered him half
interest In his land II he would fur
nsh boring outfit with which to dig
for OIL Deering concluded to invest In
the enterprise, provided Henderson
would get the missing signature to his
title.
Henderson sent his daughter Marga-
ret off to hunt for the party and secure
the signature. Deering attended to the
work he had come west to do and re-
turned to Henderson's. Margaret
wrote that she was on the track Of
the party and expected surely to sue
coed in perfecting the title to the land.
Meanwhile Henderson had ordered the
boring outfit on credit.
One day a man rode up to where the
work was going on and claimed the
property, producing an old deed that
had been superseded by the one Hen
derson held Henderson ordered him |
off the premises. He went away, |
threatening to return with force suf- |
ficiently strong to drive away what he
called the jumpers of his property.
The force engaged was Henderson,
Deering and three hired men. They
were absolutely without arms, and If
attacked the person who proposed to
dispossess them would be well pro-
vided with weapons. And there was
no doubt that the attempt would be
made. The ownership to the property
depended on Margaret Henderson Sc
curing the missing signature. Mean
while everything depended upon hold
ing the well and especially the machin
cry used in boriag it.
Owing to the lack of arms Hender
son saw no possibility Of holding the

No, Norwegians generally declare
that the belligerents' money has gone
into few hands. Still, they say their
country's workers are better paid
than those of any other country in
Europe. They are hopeful that bet
ter adjustment between the classes is
not far distant. A concrete reason
why Sweden and Denmark have not
gained assmuch from the war as has
Norway, unquestionably lies in the
fact that Norway possessed the one
thing needed to take advantage Of the
situation, ships, and that Sweden and
Denmark did not.
Aside from this the Norwegians ap-

BOATMEN SEEK
NEW QUARTERS
No More Buildings Can be Con-
structed Between HIondeau and
Bank Streets on the
River Front.
TALK MUNICIPAL FLOAT
Suggestion Had Been Made That the
City Build One Just Above the
Bridge and Charge Rent
al for Use.

There have been several inquiries
at the city hall recently as to where
boat houses may be built along the
river front here. Boating promises tc
be one of the most popular sports OF
the summer season, but the space for
boat houses has been limited now that
the city is directing its efforts toward
providing river front beautiful, and
boat owners have been forced to seek
new quarters for their craft.
There can be no more buildings
erected along the river front between
Blondeau to Bank streets. The city
is only filling in the levee from Blon-
deau to Main streets at the present,
but intends to transfer its operations
to the other three blocks of front as
soon as 1t is able.
Below Bank street Is consider ed by
many as being too far away for a boat
house and most OF the new houses are
going up above the lock. There are a
number at the foot of Sixth street.
The land above the lock Is owned by
the Mississippi River Power company.
A suggestion has been made to the
city council, and 1t has received some
consideration, that the city build q
municipal float or boom between the
bridge and the lock and parallel to
both, to which Keokuk boatmen could
attach their craft and boat houses.
The city would charge small rental
each year for the use Of this. The
cost of such float would be several
thousand dollars, and this, in the
light of the city's financial condition,
may prohibit 1t being built during the
present year.
