THE AMERICAN INDIANS

The Indian is of one race but of many tongues and of many cultures or miniature nationalities. In the North
 west he lived entirely by hunting, fish ing. and the gathering of wild crops. That life is no longer possible, even the fishing opportunities being greatly curtailed. In the southwest the Pueblo or Village Indians are agriculturists living in the oldest towns in the Uni ted States, while the Navajo and Apache are nomadic peoples occuping the open spaces. On the Great Plains lived the buffalo-hunting tribes who practiced some agriculture along the larger rivers. East from the Great Lakes were woodland Indians, putting their main dependence upon maize and beans; and between these tribes and the Gulf the arts of life became much higher among the Cherokee and the Muskogee tribes, who retained consid-

BLIND INDIAN IS
 GUIDE TO OLD POST
Trading Center Founded in 1907
 Is Located By Explorer

MISSOULA, Mont, Feb. 2S.-(By Associated Press. .)-The site of trad ing post which, 800 miles inland from the Pacific ocean, was founded in 1897, at virtually the same time that John Jacob Astor was establishing his post at the mouth of the Columbia river, has been located by Duncan Mcdonald of Dixon, Mont, son of an early Hudson Bay company factor. A blind Indian was McDonald's guide.
 The heap of stones and wood ashes are on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille in northern Idaho. They are all that are left of the log barricades and cabins which were built by David Thompson in 1907.
 Thompson was an employe of the Hudson Bay company in eastern Can ada when Astor determined to send his son decided instead to head an expedl- expedition by boat around Cape Horn. Offered employment by Astor, Thomp- tion of his own to cross the continent and establish a post at the mouth of the Columbia before Astor's could round the Horn. -.-.
 But Thompson's expedition was forced by hostile Indians to camp for a win ter north of what now is the city of Spokane, and the Thompson party ar- rived at the mouth of the Columbia to find Astor's men building their Rocky mountain region and built his cabins. Thompson returned to the fur-trading posts on Lake Pend Oreille in what has become northern Idaho, on Flathead lake, in what is now western Montana, and near the present site of the city of Missoula.
 The recent expedition which found the site of the Lake Pend Oreille post, designated by Thompson in his diaries as Kullyspell House, was led by Me Donald, accompanied by the blind In- dian from the Flathead reservation, known as Old Aleck, who, in his boy hood, had seen standing the old stone chimney of Kullyspell House.
 By the location of a bears paw" rock, which Old Aleck remembered, the party found nearby two heaps of stone of uniform size, beneath which was dis integrated gray dust, the remains of the hearth fires of the fur trader of 117 years ago.
 Mcdonald said the chimneys probably collapsed some time after 1855, but be- fore the early white settlements began in the sixties. He added that the prin- cipG importance attaching to the dis GOV Kullyspell House was that it fixet she spot of Idahos first trading post.

TRUCK OWNERS

How often do you test the wheel alignment of your trucks?
 One operator of 150 vehicles checks the wheels over once every two weeks, because most of them are do- ing 450 miles week.
 He finds that at least 40 per cent of the machines require attention in this respect, and by attending to them so frequently he undoubtedly makes a big saving in tire wear
 Speeding, running oser curbs in making deliveries, and other rough treatment very quickly cause wear in the several steering connections and joints, and this matter would appear to well repay methodical attention.

CHASSIS CLEANING

CHASSIS CLEANING
 Chassis cleaning at regular inter- vals will prevent the accumulation of grease and oil on the tires, either of which, if permitted to accumulate these are considered solvents of rub Der. In many sections of the country mud and dust contains such cle- ments as ammonia and lime, which, if permitted to remain on the chassis for any length of time, will cause rapid deterioration of the painted sur face and corrosion of the metal,
 In cleaning small parts of the chassis, such as oil holes on the brake cross shafts, brake connection, carburetor and ignition control con nections, etc, an oil can filled with kerosene and stiff brush will be found convenient This permits di-

QUICK WITTED. RuT-

Afraid to breathe, almost, the re- turned reveller crept quietly into his bedchamber as the gray dawn was breaking. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he cautiously undid his boots. But, with all his care, his wife stirred in bed, and he presently was all to6 well aware of pair of sleepy eyes re- garding him over the edge of the sheet.
 Why, Tom," yawned the little wom- an, ''how early you are this morning ?"
 "Yes, my dear," replied Tom, stifling a groan, I've got to go to Montreal for the firm today"

NO REASON FOR COMPLAINT

A large part of the indignation over violations of the prohibitory law is be- cause of the statement that the rich can get whisky, and the poor cannot. Since we all hate the rich, and love the poor, why this indignation? I say let the rich get all the whisky they want, and drink themselves to death, as most of it is poisonous. And in the name of the Great Jehovah, if the poor cannot afford whisky, is not de- privation a good thing for them?-Ed Howe's Monthly.

LOOK BOTH WAYS

Nine-tenths of all accidents to pc destriai1s on the streets would be avoided if everyone followed this one simple rule:
 When you start across the street, look to the left-when you reach the middle of the street, look to the right. The reason is simple.
 When you start, all traffic is com ing from your left. After you pass fhe center is coming from your fight.
 Why do people continue to take chances?
 Because their minds are on sonie- thing else.
 Some are young and thoughtless and others have never grown up in this respect.
 Some don't know; others don't y :.

still be made a profitable crop in
