TOW sraoms of RH TO* KTOWSSf STSXAHS Qaivtnity of Michigmn Pro- 'r f«s»oronTiip Collection and classifications of new sped** of fish heretofore unknown to the scientific world is the aim of a motorixed expedition now enroute to northwest and Pacific coast regions, headed by Professor Carl L. Hubbs, Curator of Fishes of the University of Michigan zoological museum. A specially designed Chevj^et truck, donated to the University by the General Motors corporation, is being used by Professor Hubbs foi the transportation of equipment and the members of his party from Ann Arbor the home of the university, to various coast and inland cities where investigations will be made.. Free service will be rendered by Chevrolet service stations during the trip, which will take five months from June 1 to October 1. Automobile tourists frequenting Michigan and other central states will especially benefit by the program of Professor Hubbs, which calls for 'the introduction of fresh water game Ash from Washington and Oregon streams. Motorists find fishing one of their chief diversions, and in order to keep pace with their demands, new species must be introduced. State fish commissions throughout the country will , follow Professor Hubbs' experiments in restocking of streams, as inducements for the motor tourists to visit their localities. Other regions where specimens Will be collected are Wisconsin, Lake Superior, Minnesota, North Dakota and California streams. Specimens of fish collected will be preserved in the compact truck laboratory for future study by students in zoological courses. Professor Hhbbs it a well-known figure in the scientific world for his original work in inve*tienating fish life. He studied fish propogation in the Au Sable, Mich., river drainage area and Cheboygan County lakes for the Michigan Department of Conservation and in several of the Pacific coast and northwestern states. Two hundred different kinds of fishes are now known to science as dwellers in the shore waters of Washington and Oregon, according to Prof. Hubbs, and many others there have never been classified. Use of the Chevrolet truck will allow a Wide territory to be covered at a minimum fijyenif, Prof. Hubbs says. ---------------- PISTAKEE BAT <#«SSf ' V , JULY 1, 1926 mmmmm By SHANNON MUCH Mr. and Mrs. E.

The bustle of preparation to move forward was going on along the opward trail, and wheeling Into the tortuous course was many a covered wagon, whose driver, bent on urging his team to its execrable task of surmounting the. insurmountable, forgot for the moment his dreams of wealth. The trsgons, composing the largest camp on the trail, had one by one been driven forward from their camp tag ground on their journey up the mountain aide axcept one, whose owner, left alone, mounted his wagon, and, without hesitation, took the trail down the mountain. The train soon discovered his secession, and the leader of the camp rode hastily back and soon Overtook the recalcitrant, who failed to give any explanation of his departure. As no camp rule had been broken, he was permitted to move on down the mountain side, and arrived In the middle of the day at the last camping place next to the one where he had separated from the train. Arriving at this point the traveler unhitched his team, with the evident desjgn of remaining in his location. • • ' • • • • • Thomas Wickershtm had long been a cltlsen of Grass Vatley, In the new country, before he began to depart from his customary habits of slumber and dream, time after time, that he was engaged In felling a giant tree whose decayed Interior was the receptacle of an Immense hoard of vlrtte gold. Beyond the fact that his uream occurred vritii great persistency, Thomas Wlckersham was unable to go In explanation of this phenomenon. His auriferous dream must have aroused in him an adventurous spirit, for he was possessed at once with a determination to try his fortunes In the gold fields, and the expiration of a few short weeks saw him rolling westward in company with other emigrants, in a train of canvas- •overed wagons, bound to the Eldorado of Aladdin Creek. It was Thomas Wlckersham who returned to the abandoned camp, because it was the place of his dream, every feature coinciding with Its detail. The discovery had been unexpected. Chosen to ride ahead to locate the place selected for the camping ground for the night, Wlckersham had suddenly found himself face to face with a place as familiar to him as the country lying around Grass Wiley. During the night he determined to move with the train a day's Journey up the mountains, beyond the Hear of inquisitive companions, and then return to probe the mystery. Hie day on which he arrived back, and more than half the following day, were spent In preparing- for effective investigation. First the great tree was to be failed, and if no shower ef gold Cftme of that, then something else tttght be done. Having selected his point of attack, he swung his ax, that fell, biting keenly into its trunk. While regarding the situation in this contemplative spirit, he caught sight of a covered wagon driven down-trail toward his camp. The wagon, instead of passing on, as he exeti, drew in and came to a stand- The driver dismounted and apgtajiciag curiously at the as extended from the tree.

"I find that 70U have proceeded here to the same extent and practically in the same manner I had designed to do. even to your beginning to fell the tree before us. You have preceded me here, and are entitled to the rights of a pHor possessor. I will state my ease," and we can then decide to what extent It interferes with any claims yon may have and desire to retain: "I am a farmer, as you may conjecture, and my home is at Rapid JfcCk, la Nebraska. The gofd fever that has swept the West found me distracted from my usual routine of duties by the frequent occurrence of a dream that presented each time the same features, never deviating, of a mountain scene, crossed by a ravine In which stood a huge tree, that 1 faded and found hollow, but filled with gold that flowed out at my feet.

The team was unhitched and provided for, the rider map drew from his wagon an ax, and the two men approached the tree where the bandio of Thomas Wicfcerthsm's ax still stood out at right angles to the trunk. The elder one said: "I observe by your ax that you chop left handed; I am a" right-handed chopper; I will stand opposite, so we can double team and strike time about" The youager maa, assenting, drew oat his ax and simply exclaiming, "Chip In!" struck the tree a blow that was followed by a stroke from the other, alternating until a considerable notch was hacked la the trunk of the tree. Then the elder suddenly exclaimed, "Chip!" and followed this by sinking his ax above the notch, so as to chip out between. The elder at once withdrew bis ax as that of the younger sank In the ga^h, but the yoang&t- failed to withdraw bis Implement--failed even to attempt to draw It--and, crashing upon the bead of the one in the tree, showering sparks of fire, fell the edge of the descending ax of the elder, who looked quickly up, to be met by an unaccountable look on the face-of the younger, who staggering fbrwar& shouted: "Bob!" The younger was almost Instantly met by the elder, with the Joyous cry: "Tommy 1" , • • • « • Salathial Wickarsham had settled early on the Mississippi bottom, in Illinois, and had, with the Indoor aid and assistance of his spouse, Louisa Ellen, literally hewed a farm from the primeval woods, when Robert and Thomas, their sons, arrived, respectively, at the ages of twenty and seventeen. Salathlel Wlckersham had settled prosperous land owner, and his family shared with him his prosperity. Louisa Ellen's hospitality and Salathlel's abundance were famed for miles around. The boys, Robert and Thomas, worked about the farm, and apparently never knew discontent. Much of their labor had been expended on the clearings that from time to time turned the forest Into plow land, and they would attack the largest trees and fell them. Robert chopped with the right hand nearest the ax while Thomas was left-handed. This arrangement enabled them to "doubleteam," standing opposite while striking alternate blows, one lifting his ax as the other sunk his in the trunk of the tree. The boys were Inseparable In work and play, although there was a difference of^tnree years In their ages. Robert was slow, like his father-- Thomas. Independent and Impulsive, like his mother, Louisa Ellen, whose baby and ewe lamb he always was. It was on a notable September day, as Robert snd Thomas were double teaming on a sturdy hickory, that Robert, In response to Tommy's "chip In, fell to and the two soon notched a base away from the chip. Then Robert, following his cry of "chip!" sunk his ax above the notch, followed by Thomas' ax, that fell in the gash made by Robert's sx. and remained embedded there, for Thomas had suddenly formed a resolution--had reached a mental climax--and forgetting the time and place, allowed Robert's descending ax to fall on his, and throw around a shower of sparks. Tommy, without further ado, and without withdrawing his ax, ceased work and went to the house. This was the last time (for the next morning Tommy was gone) that these brothers raised an a* togethef until twenty years had expired, and s sudden thought again stayed the arm of Thomas, and again smashed down the ax of Robert, in the mountains of Col orado, where they were led to see again the long ago, and to remember that they were brothers.

OLD Of OX.iJ&AWK CART brawl Back the Curtain of History No automobile body has a mors inspiring history' than the Seaman Body Corporation of Mil waukee, esehisive builders of Nash enclosed bodies and owned in half. by the Nash Motors Company. Bide beyond the memory of the fimssnl generation, over seventy-five faprs ago, the house at Seaman was foanded. A photograph of an ox-dnrkrn cart bearing the inscription, A. D. Seaman 4 Co, taken hi 1SJ1 and recently unearthed by Mrs. Christ Behrens of Milwaukee is a pictureaque testimonial to the years of service that have been experienced by the Seaman organisation. Mrs. Behrena, whose husband was the driver of the ox -cart, eiylains that during the year 1871 a severe epidemic of Mflnw>« among horses made it necessary to replace those animals by oxen which were still, however, in fairly general use. The photograph taken on East Water street, Milwaukee, near the city hall, shows a background of buildings long since replaced by modern sky-scrapers. But even at that time the house of Seaman was twentythree years old. Back in the days prior to tile Civil War, A. D. 8eaman, graiidfifther of the present heads of the business, engaged in the building of fine furniture. In later years as the automobile industry grew to major importance and the demand for automobile bodies that would worthily represent the woodworking art, Seaman turned its specialized ability to this field. Today the immense Seaman shops are entirely utilized by Nash enclosed body products and as indicating the growth of this organization, founded back in the days of the prairie schooner and the ox-cart, the Seaman Body Corporation in 1922 produced 9,120 enclosed bodies for Nash Motors, in 192S the production was 19,388, in 1924 the figure was 27,040, in 1926 it was 78,599, while in the first six months of 1926, Seaman built 71,060 Nash enclosed bodies. Each- process in the production of Seaman bodies is carried forward with infinite car* and scientific accuracy, for quality has been a basic principle with Seaman since the day the company was founded in 1848.

He looked for him soon, as he knew It did not take an age for Tommy to get hungry. Any remarks, however, about Tommy's hunger were kept from Louisa Btlen, who dreamed of nothing else from one bhklng to another. Within two years Salathlel was called to his fathers, and his last thoughts were of Tommy. Louisa Ellen remained with Robert, and gently hoped and prayer for Tommy's return, until six years more hsd passed, when she, pining for Tommy, died. With her last breath she urged Robert to find Tommy, and Robert promised. At the expiration of two years more --ten years In all since Tommy departed-- Robert sold the farm, and moved West, never ceasing the search for Tommy. Time went by without results until Robert had been In the West ten years, always looking for Tommy. Then came the dreams, and the meeting that spanned the River of Years, and achieved in a twinkling the realization of Louisa Ellen s gentle hope.
