OLD INDIAN- VILLAGE
TO GET THE TORCH
Prince George, Oct. 14—The en
tire Indian village on the site of
Prince George is to be burned down
within a few days to make way for
the new town.I The torch will be ap
plied ruthlessly and thq ancestral
homes of the tribe will be swept
away to the last bailding. Even the
churches of the natives will not be
spared. I
The Indians are moving their
property to two new villages built
for them on the reserve in the Goose
country, fifteen miles up the Eras
er, and on Duck lake, twelve miles
up the Nechaco river When the
railway company purchased the In
dian reserve which is the site of
Prince George it was agreed through
the Dominion government that new
villages should be built for the tribe.
The town to be burned down is
one of the oldest Indian settlements
known in British Columbia. It has
been an Indian village from time
immemorial. The tribe is known as
the Carrier, from the fact that early
discoverers found they carried char
red bones of their ancestors constant
ly with them. They are also known
as the Western Denes. I
ALASKA EXPERIMENT STATIONS
The U.S. department of agricultur
has recently issued the Annual re
port of Alaska agriculture experi
ment stations for 1912.
In the winds of many Alaska means
a land of snow and ice with only
the scantiest of vegetation; to such
a reading of the report named a
bove will be found worth while. Of
especial interest are the pictures
showing fruits grown in Alaska.
These pictures are reproduced photo
graphs and clearly show that Alaska
is by no means a bleak and barren
land. I
The Alaskan farmer is more de
pendent upon the sunshine than the
farmer in the states; indeed the
success or failure of his crops is de
termined to a large degree by the
abundance or lack of sunshine dur
ing the growing season. The work
of the Alaska experiment stations is
largely concerned with efforts t<r
adapt crops to the peculiar climatic
conditions. i
A feature or especial interest m
this report is tho account of the re
sults of the eruplion of Mount Kat
mai. It will be remembered that
from June 6 to June 8, 1912, there
was a fall of volcanic ash from Kat
mni Volcano. This volcano is about
90 miles west of 'Kodiak where a
station is maintained for experiment
in live stock breeding. As a result
of the eruption the station herd had
to be brought to Toppenish, Washin
ton, to pass'the winter, since it was
found more economical to bring the
cattle to a food supply than to take
a food supply to the cattle.
While the first effects of the vol
canic eruption were disastrous, the
report states that it will eventually
prove a blessing in disguise, since
the ashes have made cultivation of
the land much easier.—Juneau Dis

ITie Price of a
Week's Board
By RUTH GRAHAM
Tom Hums, a farmer's boy, who
didn't like farm work, went from Illi
nois out Into the wild west. There lie
wandered about, making a living as
best he could, but there was little for
him to do. except kill the animals of
the wilderness either for their meat
or their skitis. During his wanderings
Tom married the daughter of a settler
who had come from Ohio. She wished
to get back to that state ns much as
her husband wanted to return to Illi
nois. But instead of drifting eastward
they drifted farther westward, for as
civilization encroached upon thein the
wild animals, by which Torn made a
living, became scarce, and they were
obliged to find new bunting grounds.
So at last they found themselves in
a gulch where game was plenty and
neighbors .vere few. It was a deso
late life, especially for the woman
Tom offered to take his wife east, but
she knew he had never fitted himself
for the work to be done there, and she
preferred to remain where they were
rather than run the risk of starving in
her former home.
One day a man came trudging up the
gulch and. stopping at the Burns cab
in, nskell Mrs. Burns if he could be
accommodated for a short time. She
told him that her husband would be
home soon and then she could give
hu answer. The stranger said he
would pay well for his board. When
Tom returned It was agreed between
bim and his wife that they would take
the stranger in. though there was only
one room in the Oibin. and they were
all obliged to sleep in the same room,
divided into two parts by a curtain.
The man went out every morning
prospecting for something—he didn't
say what—and every night returned to
the cabin. lie remained with the
Burns couple a week, then said to
them:
"I ill going away innu nere, uuu i
can't pay you any board. I liave been
told that an article Is to be found In
this region that is very valuable. Had
I found it I could have paid you thou
sands of dollars for my keep. As it is
I can't pay you anything."
"That's all right, stranger," said
John. "We wouldn't have felt war
ranted in charging you over $4 any
way, so it doesn't-iuatter much."
"It matters more to me than to you.
It may be that I've missed the deposit
I've been looking for, and some day
you may stumble on it But you won't
recognize It If you do I'm going to
leave you some chemicals, and if you
ever come across the article I refer to
and mis it with the chemicals and burn
the compound it will give a green
flame."
He gave them some idea of what the
substance looked like In its crude form
and, pouring the chemicals from his
stock into bottles, left them with him,
with Ills address, telling them if they
ever found the article to write him
and he would make them rich.
A month passed after the stranger's
departure and the Bnrnses would have
almost forgotten h s coming had it not
been for the bottles he had left them
that stood iu the cupboard. One day
Johu. instead of hunting in the gulch
and the region thereabout, went down
to its mouth and, rounding a mountain
spur, entered a valley. Ho encounter
ed a trapper, who told him that noth
ing could live tiiere, not even animals,
and there was no use for him to try to
get any game there. So desolate was
the place that it was called Death
valley. Johu had heard of it and con
cluded to have a look at It before go
ing home. So he wandered about in it
He hadn't gone far before he saw
scattered about a substance that an
swered the description his boarder had
given him. He gathered some of it
and took it home with him.
After supper, while his wife was
washing the dishes, he took a piece
of the substance he had brought from
Death valley and, putting it in a tin
pan. poured the chemicals over it and
set lire to It. As he did so his wife
paused in wiping a dish and watched

him. As the flame burst forth the two
looked nt each other with surprise and
pleasure.
It burned green.
The couple talked that night ovei
various plans lo secure what value
there might he In their find to them
selves. They thought of presenting a
claim for the ground where they had
found the substance, but realized that
they were too poor and too ignorant
of the subject to handle It themselves,
so they wrote to their lodger that they
thought they had found what he had
been looking for. He came to see them,
and John showed him a specimen ot
his find and also that It burned green.
The stranger uttered an exclamation
of delight.
"That is borax," he said, "used.for
washing purposes In every household
In America."
He told John that if he would tell
him where it lay he would form a
company to take the ground, work It
and would give John half of all hi
made out of it himself. John accept
ed Ills proposition, and an agreement
was written out and signed by both ac
cording to the terms.
Jt turned out the stranger had a large
borax company behind him with un
limited capital. A company was form
ed/and he retained 20 per cent of the
stock. Of this he assigned one-half to
John, which gave him more money
than iie and his wife could spend.
They went hack to the east, where
they lived in comfort for the rest of
their lives.
