Five of the ten baggage carts of hunter's gear await loading at Hawk Junction. Note cart at car door on which were ten cases of beer. Moosehunters WendWay Through Fall Exhibits The moose was in season. We had not planned it this way;. It was a serendipity, (nice word that, it means you bought one thing and got two without knowing it). Our train of leaf color hunters wended its way north through nature's fall exhibits. Station platforms and open spots in the woods blossomed with sportsmen. They were fishermen and Moosehunters. They got on and off our train from the Soo to 200 miles north of it. In one station there were ten baggage carts loaded and waiting for the train. Sometimes a party of hunters flagged us down along the railroad right of way. The parties of hunters numbered two or three to near a dozen persons. Their piles of gear contained bed rolls, suit cases, ice boxes and chest, small refrigerators, canoes, row boats, oars, paddles, outboard motors, gas in cans and drums, fishing rods, a small jeep, an almost golf cart, cots, guns, am­ munition, food and paper products and cases and cases and cases of beer, beer, beer plus whiskey and gin. I guess it is considered proper to get the moose good and drunk before you shoot. When we made a stop the baggage man would signal the engineer back and forth 'til the piles of plunder were opposite the baggage car doors. Then b a g g a g e m a n - - h u n t e r s - hangers-on, the brakeman, John Turner, et al, would load baggage. In it would come. Each party's pile was kept separate. At one stream a party got off. They had a woman with them. She hollered long and loud that they had nineteen pieces and there were only eighteen. There were nineteen, though. The lady got very vociferous. An old guide who was riding the baggage car muttered, "The world could get along without women." His education was m i s s i n g s o m e w h e r e - inexperienced. Mr. Turner, the brakeman, gouged a thick slab out of his thumb on a canoe. It was hurriedly bandaged and we kept on. Several of the hunters had cuts. One lad had ripped his jeans badly and had a long gash in his thigh but this slowed him no way. The train stopped anywhere to pick up passengers, (flag with a bath towel or colored rag). At one stop, miles from anywhere, about 4 in the af­ ternoon, we unloaded a party of six. One man said, "Now we paddle sixteen miles into our camp!" Once we missed a man standing along the road. One of the train crew spotted him, pulled the cord and we backed up a piece and picked up our passenger. So some one observed, "Just like milk train, stop, stop, stop!" Two men got off the train- with them went TWELVE cases of beer. Observation by a passenger, "Guess the water must not be much good up here!" To which some other wag gave reply, "They're not going to hunt moose; the moose are going to hunt them!" When we made this trip in 1962, as we returned from Hearst to the Soo on a Monday morning, Lumberjacks were getting back tp work after a weekend in Hearst. One brother gave the crew quite a time. They worked a ruse to get him off at his camp. When he hit the ground the train crew slammed the doors shut and left the befuddled woodsman to his pals. He had insisted they could not put him off-but they did. Along late afternoon, well out of the forests, we came to the town of Oba. It is not much of a place. Its importance lies in the fact that a main line of the Canadian National R.R. crosses the Algoma Central here. In this remote hamlet there are always people waiting for one train or the other. Here is Brown's General store--hard by the tracks. Those who are familiar with the Halloween Party Substitute For Trick -Or-Treat The Pistaqua Heights association is planning a Halloween party Oct. 28 at the pool recreation area at 1 p.m., to include all children in the subdivision. The party is in­ tended to take the place of trick-or-treating in this com­ munity. Foreign substances found in candy given children the past two years prompted plans for the party. There will be judging of costumes for funniest, most original and best. Age groups are pre-school and first grades, second to fifth, sixth through place hop off the train, run across a street and get cigarettes, a candy bar or some odd bit of merchandise they need. One of the passengers in our party going to Hearst hopped off the train, into the store and out in a twinkling bearing a case of beer for his family and some of their friends. He was so quick I asked how he got it paid for. The eternal jokester spoke up "Probably got a charge ac­ count in there." A squaw went by in purple slacks. We came to a town called Duberville. It is a large place for the woods. Twenty years ago a man and his mother borrowed money to get their belongings sent up. Today the huge plant is worth several millions. It has houses, school, church, stores, hospital. It takes all kinds to make up the North Woods. *.

THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT CONSERVING ELECTRICITY Using a dishwasher can save you 416 hours of work a year. Using it more efficiently will save you something else. Money. The best way to conserve electricity doing dishes is doing them by hand. But that can make you a prisoner of the kitchen for what amounts to 52 eight-hour days a year. Most people agree that the cost of the electrical energy to run a dishwasher is well worth the human energy it saves. But that's no excuse to let the cost-- in energy and in money-- be more than it should be. The aim should always be toward getting the most effective use out of any appliance. For dishwashers, that primarily means using full loads, because a dishwasher is most economical at full capacity. So do dishes from several meals at once. Follow the manual for correct loading instructions. Use the proper amount of detergent to avoid having to do dishes over again. Scrape excess food from dishes before washing to keep debris from clogging the dish­ washer pump. When possible, use partial load cycles that allow you to use less hot water. These dishwashing tips are among many energy-saving ideas included in our booklet, "101 Ways to Conserve Electricity at Home."
