HEINIE EsTABRoOK KILLED

F. H. Estabrook, better known as Heinie Estabrook, was run over ana killed by the northbound local at Mile IA on Saturday afternoon.
 Estabrook and his partner, who have been doing assessment work on their mining property at Mile lo9' were walking to the section camp at Mile IA, and were on the bridge just south of the camp when the train came in sight a short distance be- hind them. The partner was ahead Of Heinie and got across safely. Esta- brook stepped off of the track to platform alongside, where he was safe, evidently intending to let the train pass him. When the tram was but a short distance from him, he stepped back on the track pos- sibly thinking he could get across ahead of it as if was going at very slow speed at the time. AS it hap pened, he was run over and almost instantly killed.
 The body was taken on to Chitina

an idea he had for making white
coat for he very much wanted nice
chicken for his dinner.
At noontime he knew the hens
and chickens would be let out of
their house up ut the farm for din
ner, and he made up his mind To try
To get one before the farmer or Mr..
Dog saw him.
Flour is white" thought Reddy. II
could jump into the flour barrel and
get my coat thickly covered with
white and then off l can run and be
back before father or mother finds IL
out, and / guess they will be pleased
when bring home Il chicken or fat
hen for dinner.
Grandpa Fox dOZed and Reddy ran
to the pantry to carry out his plan
and in little while ont he came SO
white his own mother would not have
known him. Out Of the house and
across the fields he went. arriving AT
the farm just as the poultry came out
OF their house for dinner.
Reddy took care to keep close to the
Snowdrifts near the stone wall, but
he did not know that a good part OF
the flour had been shaken from his
fur coat by running so far.
There was enough of it left, how
ever. so that when he grabbed at a
plump hen her wings tapped so that
the -four flew out of his coat and got
into Reddys nose and he had To drop
his dinner and run.
Mr.. Dog had heard the cOmmotfon
and out he came barking loudly. He
leaned over the wall and after Reddy
he ran.
But lust as Mr.. Dog was upon him.
Reddy passed a bush and as his tail
struck 1t. out flew the flour straight
into the face of Mr.. Dog.
He choked and he banked and by
the time he could breathe Reddy Fox
was nowhere in sight.
When Reddy reached home his
mother was ut the door, and though
he tried to explain why he jumped
into the flour barrel, she would not
listen but beat his coat until there
was no flour left in it.
"AIotner was very rough cleaning
my coat" said Reddy. rubbing his
back as he sat by the fire beside his
grandpa later. Il wonder if | had Il
coat like my Arctic cousins if she
would try to beat the white out Of
that"
"She might" said grandpa. with a
twinkle in his eye. You better not
try any scheme for changing the color
of your coat. for it will soon be spring
and you want to feel real spry for
the hunting season"

LATE HOURS

The wee small hours ayant the twall-
Burns
WHY is it that the dances you
w dance-or once danced-after
one o'clock always seem SO much more
stimulating and joyous than the
dances that you dance while the night
is still young?
1t may be that it is only after we
have been dancing for some time that
we get really into the swing of it, or
perhaps we can find the explanation in
the old truiSm that stolen sweets are
best, and that ii is only because we
have feeling that we are robbing
ourselves of our sleep that we enjoy
these early morning dances.
The fact is that while the war lasted
our dances We're shorter. And some
people went so far as to predict that
we could never go back to the old-tine
custom of dancing or allowing our
daughters and SONS to dance until "all
hours" of the, morning. But the
armistice- had not heen signed many
days before dances were lasting long
er and now all the Old-time enthus-
iaSm for dancing till dawn seems to
have been revived. AT least sucn seems
To be the case in many parts of the
country and in Washington and New
York more than one hostess has
served breakfast to her late dance
guests at about five i'll the morning
after dance. And this breakfast. be
it known, consists of nothing less
hearty than coffee, rolls and sauSageS
During war days the dances began
earlier, but now the hour has been
set on to ten O'Clock III good many
cases. This means a supper at mid
night or somewhat larer. OF course
many people feel that they have tar
ried long enough if they linger until
after supper, but the dance enthuS-
iasts-the young foIk-linger on in the
good old-fashioned way.
Whatever your own taste for laIe
hours may be, however, you should al
ways make sure that you are not out
staying your welcome and Just because
Il company of young persons become
more interested in their dancing as
the hours advance is no reason why
they should impose on the good nature
of hostess who has not planned for
such late breaking up of her party.
In general, it is safe to assume that il
your hostess is expecting her guests
TO dance till very late hour, she will
set the hour for the beginning of her
dance as late as nine or ten. If the
l,om is earlier, then the guests should

White Foxes, and they are about the

he is sort of blush gray. Some of

when it was purchased through the
instrumentality of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. In a coming
publication on Illinois parks and
memorials the state says this:
Fort Massac offered the opening
wedge by which George Rogers Clark
entered and conquered from the
British the expansive Northwest terri
tory, composing the present states of
Illinois,, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and
parts of Michigan and Minnesota.
"This intrepid explorer navigated
down the Ohio to Fort Massac, cap
tured the garrison and then proceeded
overland many miles with handful
of hardy woodsmen, soldiers from Vir-
ginia, to kaskaskia and Vincennes,
wrestling from the English those posts,
and hOisted the American flag. His
torical accounts have 1t that the site
was first visited by DeSoto in the year
1912, when 1t was used as temporary
fortress against the Indians. Aaron
Burr also stopped at this point in
1905, while en- route to the south to
establish an empire which was to have
uDSOIDSu lhC AhlCLlSdh iSpubilSs WIN
Burr at its head.
"The fort itself was built by Capt.
Charles Phillips Aubrey, sent into the
Illinois country in 1856 from New Or
leans, to care for French interests
against encroachments of the British.
Leaving Fort Chartres on May 10,
1857, Aubrey reached Massac the same
year and drove the first stake on AS
cension day; hence the stronghold
first bore the name of Fort Ascension.
The fort was recaptured in 1765 by
the English, who held 1t thirteen years
until it's fall before George Rogers
Clark. In 1904 the old blockhouse and
palisades were rebuilt by order of
President George Washington as a
protection for American settlers who
began pushing westward in great num-
bers.
The origin of the name, Fort Mas
sac, has not been determined. A
legend recounts massacre by In
dams during French occupancy and
the taking of the name of Fort Mas
sacre. which later was abbreviated to
Fort Massac.
The park has been landscape-gar-
dened, with roads and walks carefully
laid out, and custodian's cottage and
recreation hall for the use of visitors
have been built. To Clark and his
brave men there has been erected u
monument.
Fort Creve Occur.
More than twenty years of investiga-
tion has been ended by the announce
ment at Springfield. ILL.,, that the his
toric site of Fort 'Creve Occur. on a
bluff across the Illinois river from

interest and warmth. All actual re-
mains of the fort, built 241 years
ago by the French explorer, LaSalle.
had been lost long ago. Many con-
tenders still maintain their land holds
the sacred remnants of this Illinois
fort.
Owners of the land on which the
marker will be placed are Mr.. and
Mrs. c. H. Wagner. They have decided
the land to the state. Among their
most energetic contenders was the city
of Peoria. which desired that the
marker be put on the Peoria side of
the river.
Maps from official archives of the
French government at Paris put the
fort on the Tazewell side. With that
decided, the controversy was still
warm. Land owners up and down the
river laid their claims.
'The search for the truth as to the
exact site," says an announcement by
the department of public works and
buildings, "was pursued over many
years. An examination of all the Illi-
nois histories, both translations and
originals, of French writer's on the sub.
ject and many other books have been
made, in order to make the collection
of opinions as complete as possible.
The Illinois State Historial society
finally selected as the actual location
of the fort spot situated on beauti-
full bluff overlooking the Illinois river
in Fond du Lac township, Tazewell
county, south and east of Peoria. This
is the site selected some years ago by
the Peoria chapter of the Daughters
