seen enemy, with no chance to defend
himself would surrender. But the
pistol shots warned them Of their error
almost at the cost Of their lives, and
they had fallen to the ground only as
means Of getting out Of the way of fur
ther bullets. Outsiders afterward had
a good deal Of fun over the incident;
but 1t has never been any fun for the
young men who participated, and as
for the kind hearted chief, he seldom
thinks Of the episode except with a
shudder.
A gentleman Of an inquiring turn OF
mind who had occasion to make a
through -the-woods trip over portion
Of Broad River township not long ago.
was impressed among other things
with the frequency with which he ran
lupon what was evidently the remains
of ancient charcoal kilns. He was not
especially familiar with the history Of
that part Of the country and he re-
marked to Here and There In the hope
of getting q little information. 1t hap
pened that the newspaper man was
able to throw some light on the sub
ject; but not as much as he would
liked to have been able to furnish. He
told 1t about like this: "Yes. The time
was when coal burning was tbs princi-
pal industry Of all the country around
Cherokee Falls for distance Of a doe-
en- miles or more. That was In the OLD
iron making days, during the first half
Of the last century and until after the
close Of the civil war. The iron COM
panies owned thousands Of acres OF
land in that section and they imported
hundreds Of families Of whites, many
of them from England and various
European countries to serve as char
coal burners. At one time the country
was filled up with these people. They
lived to themselves in log huts, brush
shelters and even in caves. employing
themselves almost entirely in cutting
wood, building coal kilns, or pits, burn
ing and hauling charcoal, which was
generally sold at so much per bushel.
With their money they bought rifles,
powder and shot, a few rations, plenty
Of whisky, and some clothes-not
much. Because of the unlimited mar
ket furnished by the coal company,
and because also Of the demand by
blacksmiths and other workers In iron,
MANY of the surrounding farmers also
made more or less coal with the labor
of their negro slaves. 1t used to pc a
custom of these farmers to offer their
slaves a quart Of whisky for each
stick of four-foot cordwood that they
could bring in completely charred and
unbroken. Some Of the slaves had the
business down so fine that they were
able thus to earn all the liquor they
could drink. Ali the land within a ra-
dius of many miles Of the iron WORKS
was cut over for charcoal and most OF
the timber in that country now Is Sec
ond growth

Mexico was not admitted to the
peace conference probably because she
has no government. And also. 1t may
be that 1t was deemed just as well to
leave the subject of Mexico for further
consideration. Sooner or later the
United States will have to take Mexi-
co and it is not desirable to embarrass
the league of nations about the matter.

After it has all been figured out, II

After it has all been figured out, 1t
will be found that the principal cause
of the high cost Of living Is to be
found in the high taxes. Manufactur-
ing and. industrial enterprises Of all
kinds have simply added the govern
ment taxes to their overhead expenses
and placed the burden on the public.
There are very few concerns in the
United States that are paying income
on excess profit taxes that are not
making as much clear money for
themselves or their stockholders as
they ever made.

BRING THEM NORTH

Yukon and Alaska have an opper- tunity this year to get vast share of the world tourist traffic, be- lieves the Dawson News. They should go after it, and start now
 Europe eventually will be the goal for the world tourist traffic of the generation. Everyone will want to see the historic battlefields.
 But the Europeah field, points ;t the Dawson paper, will be no place to visit this year, and possibly not for several seasons. Europe is yet chaotic. , It is in want. It needs food and it needs housing accommo- dations. Atlantic tonnage will be occupied for "a long. time adjusting the situation in Europe, bringing back troops and carrying emigrants from congested European fields to the western world, and taking the much. needed supplies to Europe. Atlantic steamers also are not m condition for giving the comfort able service the opulent sight-seer wants.
 On the Pacific it is different. Ocean travel is more normal. Most of the Alaskan liners have ample accommodations for the usual nor thern traffic and for handling tour jsts and no doubt few more ships will be available this season than for some time. Further, when com ing North the tourist does not eX
 pect the unusually luxurious apart
 ments he. demands on the Atlanti'
 route. However, he gets in thu
 North what is first class service, an:
 all desirable.
 Yukon and Alaska will be Niece,
 this year for the peo le who wan
 to get into northern fields of eX
 ploitation. They also should b

MADE IN ALASKA

While digging through frozen gravel on Horseshoe creek, in the Kobuk country, prospectors unearth- ed the skeleton of what is claimed to be a prehistoric mosquito. The skeleton was about the size of an eagle of our day, but conformed to the Alaskan mosquito of today in general appearance. The bones were all dug up and the insect has been reconstructed and will be sent Outside in the spring to museum. There is no doubt but that flock of these prehistoric mosquitoes, re- marks the Douglas Island News, could make life miserable even for the mammoth animals that roamed the country in prehistoric days.

The formation of na- tional bank of Mexico. to be the center of a new currency system and take over the old banks also is being discussed by the Council of Ministers and may be sent to the legislature for decision.
 Among the constitutional reforms to be decided is project to revise Article 27 of the conStitution in such way as will give the presi- dent authority to take over and ad- minister. in the national interests, any private industry when strikes or any other means result in the Interruption of its service to the detriment of the public interest The proposed reform is directed principally at wire, rail. postal and maritime systems.

WAR-CHANGED APPETITES

Wartime food conservation cam paigns in the Canadian Northwest have changed the appetites of the people. Hundreds of tons of fish and game, once deemed unfit as food, are being consumed each month throughout the Dominion. Whale and flatfish seem to lead as sea foods, while beaver and other fur-bearing animals, hitherto un- thought of as table delicacies, like wise are given prominent places in the food lists.
 Whale meat, which failed to win recognition until last summer, IS being sold by the ton from Van couver to Halifax. The Dominion Food Boards success in the cam paign to market Pacific flatfish is indicated by the official estimate that 3,5O0,OOO pounds have been consumed in six months. Fisher men formerly threw away this fish.
 Until 1918 trappers retained only the pelts of beavers. The Mime sota campaign in behalf of beaver flesh as food attracted attention in Manitoba and hotels in that prov ince added beaver meat to their q,,u us. .e, as.~ ,.. |, t, tier someone discovered that TKickens "went wild over beaver" and resulting experiments indicated that diet of beaver meat improved the egg-laying qualities of hens ,n cold weather.
 Wild rice that grows in abund ance in the Northern Lake districts also was ignored until American and Canadian commission men in East ern cities began making steady de- mands for it. Canadian people started eating it after it had gained popularity in hotels.
 Odd outfits resembling sail boats have been constructed to thresh the fields.
