Tha hut became a relic It habitant forgot ten. Many, many years a ft en tha eomlng and passing of tha settler and tha old log hut, F. C. Sharkey waa born In the olty that grew where tha settlers first gathered. He la a brother of tha coun cilman of that name and la secretary of tha Lucky Boy Mining company.

Smaller logs are used to cloaa up tha crevices. Inalda, of course, there will be laths and plaster. Outside there win be nothing but the logs.

If a tariff would only be provided which would permit thla product to be sold m the United States the development of tha lalanda would be rapid. "Preliminary steps to accomplish this have already been takea after eeveraT years of waiting and urging.
