however, it necessary to leave approximately
200 700 feet on sideways which could not be haul

to render sleigh hauling impossible
The following is the amount of timber cut and
hauled at this camp:

Norway Observation-Disclosures. 4,542 457,9O0
Mixed Logs .. 80 1890
Total Observation-Disclosures 1920 1,197,840
Over half of the employed at the Govern
ment camps were Indians; many of whom remained
on the job until the last log was hauled. These
Indians worked in various capacities, such mani
pulating cant hooks where they outshone their
white brothers, teaming, kitchen work, road mon
key, scaling, ETC.
On the 23rd the entire operation was completed
and the boom secured from the elements until such
time as A. c. Goddard can ''yank'' tow it
the lake to the agency sawmill where the logs will
be sawed into lumber. Harry Moore visited the
camp the last couple of days and checked out the
logging outfit to be returned to the agency to be
stored during the summer.

Dick took advantage of lull in the
conversation to draw the knife slyly
across the table, out Of the old mans
reach.
A moment later, however, and the old
man leaned over the table and grabbed up
the knife again. He brandished it. He
plunged into dramatic recital Of some
sort. The words leaped caeklingly from
his wrinkled mouth. He pulled off his
black, colossal brimmed hat and shook his
thin gray locks. He swung the knife
through the air and touched it to his body.

Dick no longer feared the knife. The
tragedy was too full of truth and sorrow.

from a piece he carefully unwrapped

Up winding white street We went. 1t
was street warm with sunshine and wav-

crowded close and bright at our elbows,
with ample easements and shining lodges
on which leaned many happy, sad eyed
woman. Most of the women looked at
once happy and sad eyed: happy TO see
us, and sad eyed with the visions of those
they would see no more. Many wore the
simple black garb of mourning. They
waved greetings and then looked away
far awsy-abstracted.

It thrilled the men in the regiment to
hear spoken at last the words they had
been studying in the French books on the
voyage Dick, who is something Of an
apple knocker himself, was frankly
astonished.
"Why, Even the kids can rattle it
off, he exclaimed.
The sight of so many friendly taverns,

grew. green hillsides dotted with bushes
on which clothes we're drying, and women

At length We came to halt. We
thought we we're going TO barracks. But
what we got was field. There We pitched

sooner had we been established in this
