that 4 layer of quicksand 80 feet in
depth must be. penetrated. To pre-.
vent the wet sand from flowing into

20 feet in diameter, was made round
the shaft, and by means Of metal

VIII Stand In Front Of the School
for the Tribe to Keep Fresh
Legendary History.

Portland, Ore.-ln these days Of
prOfiteering and wild scrambles for the
almighty dollar, 1t Is a consolation to
find one man In the world who Is not
money mad and who is working and
has been working assiduously for the
last five years all for an ideal and
with no Interior thought of pecuniary
gain squirting him on. The remark
able part of 1t Is that this artist, for
he is an artist of the highest type, is
full-blooded American Indian chief.
He answers to the name of william
Shelton, and when not busy perfect
ing his life work, monstrous and
skyscraping totem pole upon which Is
inscribed the history Of the Snoho-
mish tribe, he supervises the running
Of the Indian reservation school at
Tulalip.
Although Shelton is well educated
and thoroughly familiar with the world
OF business, he prefers to devote his
time and attention toward the fulfill
ment Of an ideal. Generations ago In
dians lost the art of totem carving, and
he is the only known totem pole maker
III the world today.
Five Years Consumed.
To date Shelton has worked during
his spare time more than FIVE years
on the gigantic post. This work has
been accomplished aside from his du-
ties as head Of the reservation school,
Early every morning before he begins
the duties of directing the functions
Of the schools he is at work on his his
toric pole. At the close of the school
session each day finds him again hard
at work with chisel and mallet. It
can be seen therefore that all Of
the many hours he has devoted to his
Pet project might be termed overtime.
When finished the pole will stand
more than 100 feet In height and will
measure nearly seven feet In diameter.
1t has been selected from the greatest
of the big cedars which grow on the
reservation at Tulalip. When the work
is completed the pole will stand in
front Of the school for the tribe, where
for generations to come 1t will keep
fresh their hereditary history.
"One of the principal reasons for
my devoting SO many years to the maxi
ing Of this gigantic history pole" said
Shelton recently, SIS to shatter the Fer

GHOSTS IN CORNISH MINES
Old Legend Concerning "knoekers" 10
Firmly Believed In by the Work.
ers Underground.

Some Of the best-authenticated cases
Of hauntings In England are those in
connection with tin and coal mines.
Many Of them come from Cornwall,
where there is profound belief in
what are termed "the Knockers" Ac-
cording to Charles Kingsley, "the
Knockers" are the ghosts Of the Jews
who crucified our Lord, and who, as
a consequence Of that crime, have been
compelled to remain earthbound ever
since. He explains the reason of them
haunting Cornwall by saying they
were sent thither as slaves by the Ro-
man Emperors, who obtained most of
their tin from that country.
Be this as it may, ''the Knockers"
are still heard, and II anyone wants
proof they should pay a visit one night
to one of the many disused shafts.
'The Knockers" do not confine them
selves to ancient mines. They are at
times in quite modern ones. There
is n story still current in Cornwall
to the effect that man who bought
a house that had just been built in g
mining district was awakened one
night by the sound Of tramping up
and down the stairs, as If by an army
of men in heavy boots. He got up
several times to attempt to discover
what 1t was, but the moment he opened
the door and looked out all was quiet.
He made inquiries of one Of the serv-
ants, who was local girl. "Those
noises?" she said. ''Why, heard
them too. They are the Knockers
and they came last night to tell us
there Is new lode under this house
that waits to be worked"
What she said proved to be an ect-
ual fact. There was a new tin lode
beneath the building, and very pro-
ductive one.

families settled down to live with the
parents Of the husband or wife, and
after short while suffered q great
disillusion, as things were not what
they had imagined. While they had
been away from their native land
they had thought Of 1t as picturesque
and beautiful, with an ideal climate
and congenial conditions. They for
got the discomforts of the old home
with its lack of running water and
modern improvements which these
1talo-Americans had grown accus-
toned 20 in the new land Of freedom.
The husband could put up with It,
but the wives could not, as in many
villages-in fact, in nearly all those
of Central Italy-the water must be
carried from the village fountain.
Whenever any washing was to be
done the clothes in most cases had to
be carried often mile to the river.
as the supply Of water in the villages
Is never sufficient for washing clothes.
Naturally to the many who had not
only become accustomed to running
water in their houses, but also to
modern washing machines, this way
Of washing did not appeal and they
would not walk down to the washing
place, but paid woman to do their
work. This meant a great deal Of
money every week, as Americans are
considered to be milllonaires or very
near 1t, so the prices asked were al
ways very high.
Then the cost of food now is some
times higher than In the cities, as the
produce in villages is generally what
Is left over from that exported to
town. Besides, plumbing in Italy, ex-
cept in the big cities. is absolutely un.
known; only primitive ways of bath
ing are indulgei in and bathroom
In village house Is unknown. This
Is due to the great lack of water in
villages all over Italy, although in
reality in out-of-the-way woods there
are wonderful springs, but the water
runs to waste. as these sources are
far removed from the villages and
towns.
In one small village, In the prov
ince Of Rome, called San Felice, near
ly all the male adult population over
twenty-five years old had been to
America, made little money, re-
turned to their families and bought
n little vineyard, which they worked

leave for New York. Some Of these
men have been four or FIVE times in
America, speak English and are long

Many Of them returned to Italy to
serve their time during the war. and
only now wait an opportunity to get
away. Emigration now is not so easy.
