INDIANS MAKE
CANOES OF BALLOON
Airship That Carried u. s. Aviators
Into Canada Furnishes
Material.

COCHRANE, Ont, May 13-Some
wonderful canoes appeared mysteriously
recently in the James Bay region. They
were constructed not of birchbark, but of
strange material the North had never
seen. As light and swift as swallows on
the wing, they skinned the water. Moose
Factory Indians marveled.- Had the
Great Spirit come from the Happy Hunt

The big balloon that carried three of
Uncle Sans naval aviatOrs into the will
dcrnesS several months ago has since lain
collapsed on the spot where it descended.
Officials of Moose Factory, one of the
earliest posts established on American
shores by the Hudson Bay company, had
given orders to all the Indians who owe
allegiance to the ancient fur company, to
leave the great gas-bag undisturbed.
| These orders had been strictly observed.
But a band of outlaw Indians, whose
| home village is go miles northwest of
Moose Factory, found the balloon. Old
| Hudson Bay company,s order meant
nothing to them. As for Uncle Sam
they had never heard of him. But they
knew good canoe material when they saw
! it and Straightway with their hunting
knives they sliced great blanket pieces
/ from the sides of the fallen monster and
| from the magic fabric fashioned canoes
| that rode the waves like thlStledOwn
The air had given the Northland their
most marvellous craft.
| The Indians who wrecked Uncle Sans
gas-bag are known as plutOcrats of the
| wilderness. While on a recent visit, the
| chief of the outlaws was asked if he were
not afraid of getting into trouble for cut
ting up a balloon belonging to the Great
| Republic across the border. With 3
| shrug, he drew from his pocket a roll o.
money that would have made a rent hog

indifferently. Me buy the tam thing
