LA SALES ASSASSINATION

LA SALES ASSASSINATION
On March 10, 1857, Rene La Sale,
the greatest of the French explorers,
was shot by two of his followers while
exploring the Mississippi.
La Sale came to America at the
age of % and became a trader in furs
and the possessor Of a tract OF land
in Canada. After a voyage of explo-
ration from Lake Erie to Lake Supe-
rior and down the Mississippi, he took
possession Of the land around the
Gulf of Mexico, called it Louisiana
in honor of the French king, and
went to France to get men and means
to coloniZe 1t.
On his return, La Sale failed again
to find the Mississippi, and wandered
from place to place until nearly all
his followers were dead. At last Civ
ing up hope of reaching the land he
was seeking, he set out for Canada
with a small company in 1857. On
the way. two of his men shot him.
La Sale was the d~iscoverer of the
Ohio and the first explorer of the
greater part of the Mississippi.

Q. DO magpies chatter as much as
that phrase indicates? r. H.
A. The Biological Survey says a
maybe does not talk very much. This,
however, depends on the individual
bird and its training.
O. What is the Chinese word for
blessing, or good lick? A.. G.
A. It is a word pronounced "fu,"
and the Chinese character express
ing it is a favorite one with the
Chinese people for embroidering on
linen, or having placed on the walls
of their houses. It should be borne
in mind that the word "fu" means
blessing only when written in this
way-there are dozens of characters
having this same pronunciation, all
written differently and having utter
ly different meanings.

@. Why do pine trees stay green
all winter? d. r.
A. Pine needles are in reality
leaves, and contain chlorophyu as
other leaves do. The surface of pine
needles is tougher than that of other
leaves. Thus the chlorophyll is pro-
tected during the winter and remains
green.

@. Was Saturday made the school
holiday in Difference to the religion
Of the Jews? A. J..
A. An official of the New York
City Department of Education says:
1T is my understanding that the orr
gin Of Saturday never began in the
cities but in the rural sections of our
country. Tt Is my understanding that
it originated in the colonial days,
when there were very few Jews in the
community. I believe Saturday be-
gan as a holiday in schools, because
the children on the farms had to
help with the work, 81 that Sunday
might be observed by the family.
They had to bring in provisions for
the Sabbath and help in the home
so that they might start out to the
nearest church which was usually
miles away"

To End a Surplus
(St. Paul Dispatch

"U Z UU1 0OP0UVIV
II there Is any way of beating the game" in the
present surplus problem the information deserves to be
widely distributed. g
Not SO long ago q group of California orange growers
raised a fund OF 100000 to buy the surplus crop, de-
stroy 1t, and prevent a break in the market. The wanton
destruction OF food Is a common practice nowadays and
a symptom OF times that are sadly out of joint. It is a
method Of handling the surplus hard to reconcile with
breadlines. These particular fruit farmers, however
must have had q second and SOLDERING thought. They
decided instead to add the money to their advertising
appropriation for this year and will therefore spend more
than two. million dollars proclaiming their product in
1881.
That is one way of ending a surplus that might well
be copied by many other producers.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Liniment
Question:. K. w. writes: II am
badly troubled with rheumatism, so
much so that my right arm is slightly
crooked. Would rubbing the joints
with coal oil be of benefit?"
Answer.-There are many kinds Of
linimentS which temporarily relieve
certain cases Of rheumatism through
the counter-irritating effect. Coal oil
used in this way will have the same
effect with some people who have sem
sitive skins. OF course, there is no
cure in such a treatment, but if it
even temporarily relieves there is no
harm in using the liniment treatment.
Fruits and Nuts
Question.-M. M. S. writes: please
list in your column the fruits and nuts
which are most fattening If eaten
continually"
Answer Avocados and olives are
the fruits containing the largest
amounts Of fat. The fat in different
nuts varies slightly, but all true nuts
have. a large amount OF fat. I con-
slider that almonds and pecan nuts
are the best to use for their fat con-
tent. Peanuts and coconutS are not
true nuts and contain large amounts
of starch.
Choral Hydrate
Question.-H. A. M. asks: What are
the symptoms of poisoning by choral
hydrate? How much may constitute a
dangerous dose to a full-grown adult?"
Answer.-Chloral hydrate causes a
muscular relaxation, followed by sleep
and coma, respiration and pulse slow.

the summer before. to their greater profit and ~glorifica-
ton.
In the latter connection, there is a remark in Charles
j. Fingers recent book, Adventure Under Sapphire
Skies" that Is very much to the point. Every town in
America that hopes to attract tourists ought to heed it,
and it IS worth reprinting here.
MI. Finger remarks that every town has its boosters
club" that tries to attract the visitor; and he continues:
But how do they set about attracting him? BY max
ing pictures Of the beautiful places near their town? BY
seeing to it that natural beauties are undisfigured? Not
a bit of 1t.
I'm nine cases out of 10 they will tell you about the
factories and the banks and the churches and the good
water and the schools in their community. Now to do
that Is every bit as silly as If a business house should
advertise that it had safes and cash registers and type
writer's and ledgers. Such things are necessities and
rightly taken for granted. So are schools and good
water and bank necessities. and it should be taken for
granted that every community has them.
But what the towns might do is see that no local
high board advertisements disfigure the landscape. They
should search out their beauty spots and clear ways to
them. They should look to the Identification Of their
city of bennington in England has beautified its streets
and made them gay with flowers and potted plants.
ITO put matters in a nutshell. the active minded ceo-
pie who would do the right thing by their town should
give some consideration to the tourists point of view.
But that they do not do.
Neither we, nor you who read, were ever, or are ever,
likely to visit a town because it has an overall factory in
full blast, or because there is a coal dealer and a paint
and wall paper merchant in 1t, no matter how much OF
a citizen of credit and renown the advertiser might be-"
Would that civic boosters might ponder deeply over
the advice! It would make automobile touring in the
United States infinitely more enjoyable. ~>

 VARIED SUCCESS

Eleven outfits operated on Cache creek and tributaries during the past summer, most of which emerged in the profit column, ac cording to Albert Murray, who with Charlie Harper, is in Seward enroute to California to spend vacation.
 MesSrs. Murray and Harper are operating the Jim Murray holdings under lease. The property consists of 12 miles of side pay on Cache creek and Nugget creek, where Jim Murray operated for number of years before the dredge passed be- yond the mouth of Nugget, per mitting him to work the lower end of the creek. It was near this point on Cache that Charlie and Albert took cleanup of such di- mensions to justify Albert's fath- CT, Jim Murray, to cut the royalty $1 ,OOO as his part of the expense of moving the hydraulic outfit.
 Speaking of the seasons oper- ations, the lessees said: Tt was en- tirely satisfactory"
 It is known that irl several sue cessiye seasons before retiring from fortune, Jim Murray took from $2O,O0O to $25,0Oo annually from the ground. Subsequent operations showed the pay streak to be still in evidence and that Harper and Murray, lessees, are in the money
 Among other successful opera tors is Matt Hamburger and Mike Trapke who are leasing on Dollar creek. It is reported that they av- eraged something like s16 per day per man.
 Five young men leasing on Falls creek failed to get into. the money, while carrying a load of 25 per cent royalty

 The message was heard last Wednesday night and it is feared that the tug may be lost on the storm tossed seas of southern Van. couver Island. Coast Guard cut ters are patrolling the waters but have not found the Roosevelt: it became severed from the sailing schooner Commodore, which the Roosevelt was towing to Seattle.
 The Commodore. winner of the sailing race from Honolulu to Pu- get Sound became severed from the Roosevelt twice but they were unable to get a line aboard the third time.
 The Roosevelt, previous to the last word from her, reported she was flooded and not a chance for us"
 The Commodore ran up its sails and stood out at sea and thus avoided the storm which the tug encountered. When last heard the Commodore was safe at place B miles of the coast of British Col ulnbia.
