We arrive ! at Wost Superior, Wis., at 10 a. m., after a twelve hours jour- nay from Chicago. D wight Kennedy was at the depot to meet us. He is the same "Bolley" that used to duck us in the mill pond and hold our heads in snow banks. We went over to the machine shop to see Harry who is making his $50 per month. This is the best machine shop in the city. "Uncle" Sim nearly stuck his head through the window glass when he saw us. He misses 'McHenry badly but as he is here to stay has made up his mind to like it Mrs. Kennedy taas just moving into her new home across the street from Dwight ~ Charley and I helped her "stake" down the car­ pets and then, accompanied by Harry, we visited Duluth, Minn. There is lit­ tle interest in descriptions of cities so I will lay my own personal adventures be­ fore yon. ' Charley's foot-ball leg "got game" on him and although he wanted to go to the woods anyhow we made him see the folly of it. We talked it over and de­ cided that I should go into a lumber camp wad see what it was like. It had to be a case of "vini, vidi, vici," sol hired out to Clark & Jackson, millionaire lumber kings. Three o'clock in the afternoon found me with my "turkey" on my back at Foxboro, Wis., on the state line. It be­ gan to snow and a cold raw wind made me think that the saying of "Far fields are Green," was a lie. There were seven in our party and the employment agent had told us it was a six mile journey. Six miles over an eld '%ote" road brought us to damp one where we halted for the night. The camp of seven log houses looked pictur­ esque and dreary in the twilight. The far-away how] of a wolf made me think of the frontier stories that I had read. Three rows of narrow bunks, one above the other, line the Valk of the "men's Camp." Two big box stoves stood in the center of the room. The roof and gables are made of. rough pine boards covered with tar paper, and the walls are of logs closely fitted and the outside chinks plastered. Two windows in the roof for ventilation and one in each epd *urnish light. Daylight in the "camp" is of lit­ tle use to the men except Sundays, for they are out before day-break and get back after night-fall. The "glim is dowsed" at 9 p. m. and the men, weary with the day's wor<t,are glad to go to bed. I slept with a good-hearted "lumber jack,"for the camp was full and we were told to go to camp Three--another six miles. As we walked along the road I was puzzled over one of my compan­ ions. 1 had seen him before but couldn't place him. Presently! I saw him take a cigarette paper and fill it with tobacco. He laid it beside his nose and gave it a twist. I had him, for no man ever rolled a cigarette with such skill to my know­ ledge, save one,and that was near Coun­ cil Bluffs five years ago. Both "friends" were red-headed, freckled and stout. They were one and the same and 1 found a partner. He is a queer charac­ ter and,'ye gods! I thought that I could hold my end np but he is the biggest liar I ever met. I figured his age at about three hundred and eighty once when he was telling about himself. We reached camp Three, before dinner. Lumber-camp grub is good but the "Jacks" call the corn beef "red horse." It made me grin. They detest corned oeef. >n the afternoon I was sent ont with ttate road cutters. • That is the hardest and meanest job of all, grubbing out out trees. We got back to camp after dark alid after supper ground our axed. Scandinavians, Germans, French Cana­ dians, Polls and Danes are in the great majority. Thev are very clanish. Little English is spoken. At night, after all are asleep, a sort of roar, coming from the men's camp, can be heard for, prob­ ably, half a mile. Sunday is spent in grinding axes, reading, smoking, etc. Monday morning "Bed" and I were sent ont to saw down and get as many sixteen foot logs as we oould. I found it much easier but it is a long way through a five foot tree. It fills one with awe to see * a huge - pine, over one, hundred feet tall, fall slowly at first, faster and faster and then a prolonged crash, as it sweeps everything to the ground with it. We had to walk two? aud-a-half miles to our work and were supposed to get there at day break. The talk of the camp was a black bear that made regular visits to the slop bar­ rel. One Mght I heard some one pump­ ing lead with a Winchester and nex$ morning the bear was brought i$ta, d&uip. There are plenty of deer in the woods* and during the seasqn,tl\e iqeat market* are bountifully supplied wHh venison. Vermin is one of the greatest pests ol camp life and their variety and abun­ dance is astonishing. This is not to be wondered at knowing that jail birds, hobos, fugitives from justice, in fact the very scum of humanity are to be found in the woods. A woodsman in the complete uniform ot his craft is a very ludicrous spectacle. They wear bright clothes and pull their •SpSsSj! socks over their pants or foil their pints baKW to the knees. the main excitement. Every morning several unfortunates stand in the middle of the floor and curse Mid swear and challenge the man ,to fight who stole his socks. Of course no one reapowb. They generally keep every­ thing In their "turkey " The whole thing makeo me think of what I have read on prison life in Siberia. Well, I stood it !or about a week-and-a-half and wont and got tny time and again turned my face toward West Superior. A big buck bounded across the road as we were on the way back to the railroad. My companion looked for his revolver but it had been stolen. That night I stayed at Foxboro and in flie morning took tfee train for West Su­ perior where I am now firing a steam plant in a large hotel. - ' Frame: W. Bennett. '• Weekly School Notes. The school wish to thank Mrs. Covell, thro' the Plaindealer for the mgwiHtlfti given to the library. Lulu Byrd has returned to her school duties in the third room after a siege of mumps. Lncile Byrd is now absent for the same reason as is Delia Beck with, a pupil of the fourth room. Several have expressed their desire to join the book-keeping class which will soon begin. There is room tor more. The public school system is one of the foundation stones upon which our gov­ ernment rests. Here the boy or girl not only gets a good common education but is taught the principles and traditions of our form of government, and that which is instilled into us in youth rarely be­ comes blotted from our memory as we graw older. So, all through our lifetime the principles we learned in the public school go with us and we are better Americans for having attended. For this reason if for no other let us foster our public schools. Encourage the teachers and scholars.
