husbandry by that of civilized man.
The very soil, the streams and the
woods which skirted them, seemed
conscious, sitting up of nights and
watching by day for the coming
events that cast their shadows before
the bear, the elk, the deer heard all
too frequently the crack of the back
woodlands rifle. He was trespassing
on the domain of the Winnebago, Sac
and Sioux. The Great Spirit had
packed up his airy wigwam, converted
it into balloon and sailed westward,
reckoning his children to follow
'Hard-fisted miners, men of mighty
bone and bold enterprise, hid built
their tenements of sod, palisades and
mud at different places. Galena, Nep-
tune-like, had reared her awful head
above the mud in which she founder
ed, and was visible for a considerable
distance. Patches of corn and pota-
toes showed that Il race of men were
pressing into this region who could
work the surface of the Mother Earth
as well as gopher-like, burrow in her
bowels. These were the scattering
drops, that earnest of that human
flood that has swollen into millions,
rolling westward on foot, on horses, on
wheels-until the locomotive and the
laundering train behind commands.
"The highway to California has
changed the frontage of the continent,
has completed the American section of
the thoroughfare that encircles the
globe, and the direction of commerce.
howl was heard only too
All this since 1894"
DepradatiOns BY Wolves
"The VOLTS long howl" was heard
only too frequently by the early in
habitants, as the loss of many a fine
porker or fat eve bore testimony.
Dogs were secured, kept and fed, to
protect their masters property from
these depradations, but in the major
ity of cases, the owner awoke when
too late, to find that he had been
| "hugging a fond delusion to his
breast" as his much vaunted guardian
of the flock was found gaily gambol-
ing with the foe ne was expected to
| destroy. A good wolf dog 40 years
ago was literally worth his weight in
gold. Wolves when caught were often
partially disabled and then turned
over by the settlers to the dogs, in
order to accustom the latter to the
sight of their foe, and many were the
disappointed looks that crossed the
weather-beaten countenances as it was
found that "Tige" or Watch would
| instead of boldly attacking, drop their
caudal appendage and incontinently
quit the field. One of these wolf bat
ties which has become historical, is
given by an active participant of the
scene, as follows:

these fenceless prairies. We didn't
cut the year into weeks and Sundays,

Much Flour Came Up the River
The mining camps, however, still
in a great measure depended for their
supplies upon flour which was con-
yeyed up the river from points below
But as the country became settled up
mills improved and grain became
abundant, this dependence upon for
eien supplies was reduced to a mini
mum. Yet it was many yeare before
the wished for time arrived. For
many years the country lowered pc
tween frontier barbarism and c1Vlll-
cation, with the question an open one
as to which side of the balance II
would ultimately incline.

FLOOR TREATMENT
How to Obtain Best Re-
suits in Restoring
Waxed Polish.

Unfinished wood surfaces absorb
grease and dirt more readily, are more
likely to stain and are harder to keep
clean than those in which the pores
of the wood are filled with varnish, oil.
paint, or other finish. In general, a
house should contain as few untin-
ished wood surfaces as possible. In
abe kitchen. for example, labor may
be saved by finishing or covering the
floor. by covering the table with oil
cloth. linoleum, or zinc, and by paint
ing or vanishing the rest of the fur
niture.
Unfinished wood surfaces may be
scrubbed with the grain of the wood,
using small quantities of water and
a mild soap, rinsed with Il cloth
wrung out of clean water, and wiped
dry. Strong soaps. alkalis, and too
much water darken wood and may
soften it.
If the dirt cannot be removed with
soap and water, a sCOurer, such as
fine steel-wool or powdered pumice,
may be used. Unfinished wood can be
bleached with oXalic-acid solution,
which is poisonous. The wood should
be covered thinly with the solution,
allowed to dry, and then thoroughly
washed until all traces of the acid are
removed. If grease is spilled on un-
finished wood cold water should be
applied at once, if possible, in order to
harden the grease and prevent its
spreading. then as much grease as
possible should be scraped off with a
knife, and the spot scrubbed with
washing soda or lye solution.
If the spot appears dark, a paste
made of fuller's earth and water
should be spread over it and allowed
to remain overnight.
Use Water SparingIy.
Oiled floors should be swept with
a soft brush and busted with a dry or
oiled mop. Occasionally they may be
washed and afterward wiped with an
oily cloth. Water should be used
sparingly, and care should be taken to
rub the oil in we'll and not to use so
much that a surplus is left on the sur
face to hold dust and be tracked onto
rugs.
Varnisih and shellacked surfaces
should ordinarily be busted clean with
a soft brush or cloth and polished
with an oiled mop or soft cloth mois-
tened with a few drops of light lubri-
eating oil, lemon oil, or furniture
polish. The oil or polish should be
we'll rubbed in and any surplus re-
moved with a soft cloth. In general,
vanished and shellacked surfaces
should not be touched with water.
However, if badly soiled they may be
wiped with a cloth wrung out of
warm, slightly soapy water, wiped
dry at once, and then polished with
oil The appearance of badly worn,
vanished woodwork may be improved
by rubbing it with a good grade of
floor wax.
Waxed surfaces may be cleaned
with a soft, dry duster, or in the case
of floors a soft brush or a mop free
from OIL The film of dirt and wax
which darkens the surface may be re-
moved with q cloth wrung out of
warm, soapy water, or, better, with
one moistened with turpentine or

gasoline; the latter method brightens
as well as cleans the surface, whereas
water dulls and whitens wax. Both
turpentine and gasoline are highly in
flanmable and should never be used
in a room where there Is fire or a
lighted lamp or candle.
Restoring Lost Luster.
If a waxed surface has been dulled
by water, the luster and color tmay be
restored by rubbing with warm
woolen cloth or weighted brush.
Many spots on waXed surfaces may
be removed by rubbing with a little
turpentine and refinishing with little
wax; iron rust and ink stains may be
bleached out with oXalic-acid solution
as from unfinished wood. After all
traces of the acid have been washed
off and the spot Is thoroughly dry, it
should be rewaXed and polished
If a floor needs rewaxing, 1t should
be thoroughly busted, washed, or pref
erably rubbed bright with q cloth
moistened with turpentine or ga soline.
and given "A thin, even coating of
liquid or melted wax rubbed in 1eng<h-
wise of the grain of the wood. first
with a soft cloth and then with a
weighted brush. When the wax is
we'll rubbed in the brush should be
covered with piece OF neaVv mate
rial, such as carpet or burhp, and
the floor polished until 1t has the de-
sired luster.
Painted woodwork should, as far as
possible, be kept clean by busting
rather than by washing, since the lat
ter is harder to do and wears the
paint much more rapidly. When
washing becomes necessary it should
be carefully done. 1t pays to wipe off
dirt, such as that around door knobs,
as soon as 1t appears.

LUMBER MILLS OUTPUT
GREATER THAN YEAR AGO
Figures From $50 Plants Show
Increase Over Same Period of
1924-Prices Low.

Reports from $50 of the larger soft
wood mills, producing about 40 per
cent of the national total, show chat
for 1925 to date a greater volume of
business was done than during the
corresponding period of 1924. During
the week ended May 8 they shipped an
amount equal to their cut, and had
orders for 95 per cent of 1t. Soft
wood, however, tends to be in over
supply, and prices are generally low
and weak, though undoubtedly they
have reached the bottom of their de-
cline, for manufacturers realize that
