drive REVEALS
deer DECREASE
Figure Cannot be Determined
Accurately Because of
Mild Weather.

Deer in the Ely territory have de-
creased considerably in the last two
years, according to tallieS taken by the
U. S. forest service. Just what the de-
crease is, however, cannot be gagged
accurately because this years count
was conducted before cold weather had
driven them out of the deep woods.
This year only As were seen as COM
pared with 48 year ago and lib in
1887. The drives were conducted over
five areas. all near highways, where
deer are not found in great numbers
until real winter weather arrives.
Following is a tabulation of animals
seen:
Bucks Does Fawns Total
Year 1899, 16 81 8 As
Year 1888, 16 % 9 48
The results of the drive apparently
bear out the contention of many local
organizations and people that there are
less deer now than several years ago,
although the state conservation COM
mission and the U. S. biological survey
declare there is an actual over popula-
ton in this section of the state as a
whole.
The open season this fall on grouse
apparently took many of the birds, a
comparison of the 1888 and 1899 count
reveals. This years count, taken i'm
mediately after the season closed, was
1O6 as compared with 1872 last year.
Twenty-one ducks were spotted this
year and none year ago. The mild
weather this fall probably accounts for
the presence Of the water fowl. Three
rabbits were seen during the last count
and three year ago. In 1898, three
porcupines and one skunk were chased

FEMININE RAnsPLITTERS

Early Minnesota feminists did not
confine themselves to the lecture plat
form and the press, according to ma
terial found by research workers. Near
Cokato, in 1870, an invalid man with
seven daughters faced the task of clear
ing land for farm and putting in
his crops His daughters marched into
the hardwood forest with saws and axes,
cut down the trees, split rails and fenced
in 40 acres which they planted and
cultivated. The fields produced good
harvest" according to contemporary
newspaper account.

ERSATZ" COFFEE

Residents of Germany where so many
synthetic staples have been introduced
recently, might be interested in a
pioneer Minnesota substitute for coffee
1t was barley coffee, description of
which was found in newspaper of the
early Sixties by a research worker
Barley coffee, said to be as good as the
real mocha, was made by first soaking
the grain to soften it. 1t was then
dried, roasted and ground. A little
coffee extract was sometimes added to
give it flavor, and if this was done it
was said that an expert was unable to
distinguish it from the imported pro-

SPEEDY MAN FROM MAINE.

Staunch workers came to early Min
nesota from many states and countries.
However, they had to be on their toes
to keep pace with a man from Maine,
according to an item found by a re-
search worker in Minneapolis news
paper of 1871. It stated: "A man from
Maine arrived in this city yesterday
morning. He bought a lot, purchased
some lumber, built house and took
tea in it last evening. He'll do for
Minnesota"

PRINTERS PUN

The pun, that form of humor as
popular as it is deprecated, was not un-
known on the Minnesota frontier in the
Fffties. A newspaper of 1854, accord
ing to research workers, related:
One of the compositors in this Office,
who has since been carried down stairs
on shutter. perpetrated the following:
why is my pocket-book like the
initials of Minnesota Territory" Be
cause it is NJ. T; empty"

POOR RELIEF

The panic of 1857 caused widespread
suffering among Minnesotans, accord
ing to material found by research
workers. In one instance, a contem-
porary newspaper reported, 300 sacks
of wheat were shipped up the river from
Iowa to be distributed among the suf-
fering people of Stearns County. The
situation was so acute that the steam
boat company made the trip free of
charge.

STRICTLY BUSINESS

The hospitality man received was
sometimes measured by the size of his
pocketbook, even in the good old days,
judging from an advertisement found
in a newspaper of the Fffties by re-
search worker. The advertisement, for
a restaurant, stated: Cash customers
are allowed to sit at the table Is minutes
after eating. Credit customers, whose
notes draw 5 per cent a month, 10
minutes after eating. Credit customers
who have book accounts only time
