JS 9r.SAHF0RD'S flOSTETTER'c P CELEBRATED The l.arkof FJaiiizati t'amjia'jd 'A'lia: It "Ijirked" Like Howthp Lumbpniu-K Work and Feed A Ii:uH'okiT t'am;iiiz on Hemlock. Here is the telegram tlmt caused the whole trip: Ford Stjirrinj,': Survey lint 22 AVrito dailv. unms.linlulv. T. Y. PA1.JIEB. The ea-e with which those few words could be written was in sharp contrast to the labor involved in car rying out the directions. The first requisite for such an ex pedition was a surveyor. He was secured. Then a couple of chain bearers, of which I was one. There was no use in getting clethin: in Detroit, The outfit necessary for wrestling with the arctic climate had to be purchased further north. The train brought us to Cadillac. Here tho lumberman's outfit was procured. It may astonish those who live in tho effeminate regions of civilization to know that those who tramp the north woods wear no over coats. They drag in the snow and are in the way. Here was the fit-out. 1 roin four to ten pairs of socks. Tin ulside pair was a German sock a quarter of an inch thick reaching nearly to tho knee. Into this tho legs of the pantaloons were shoved and the whole arrangement securely strapped to prevent snow from pene trating. We offered as high as S10 a pair for snow-shoes, but they were not to be had. Iustead were a gigan tic pair of arctic overshoes so heavy that when they once got the swing on a person's feet it was almost im possible to stop them. A person was carried along like that man with the steam cork leg. Coats and vests were discarded and blanket suits adopted. Three Mackinaw shirts encased us i and round the center of liter of the grand tied a flaming red tuuiuiudiuu whs ueu u naming reu oaou. -must: bun is wem ui iu cuurs-i est horse blanket stuff and our suits! were striped red, yellow and black. Stirring, who is slightly under seven ' feet high, looked like an animated: barber pole searching for a hair-cut-' nug estaunsument. Altogether wo were the most chromatic Starring troupe that over took to the road in "T " - J f i -i "Quarters till daylight, when work be conple of pairs of mitts aud a knitted I mns. and fulled Mackinaw cap. Ion could I Now about our work. The first pull the fulled cap dowu over your; thing to do was to find the "square Bhoulders almost, aud the thirty de-j stake." This is the stake that marks grees below zero never fulled with the junction of four sections of land, your ears while that fulled cap was it was pat in by the government years over them. Some cynics may doubt ago. Four trees were selected as wit that any cap could covi'r our carsjness trees. Thev were marked B T but I am stating facts. i or bearing lrees,"and since tlmt time . Accoutered as wo were, we plunged 'they have borne witness of tho pres mto the wood with the assistance of euce Gf the hquare stake. Thev are a team and sleigh We drove miles situated somewhat in this fashioV im.u wiu wuuua, uiiu. jJiiascu iwu Juui ber camps. At last we pulled up at Camp Flanigan. At this spot a couple of weeks ago there was naught but a howling forest Now Camp F. consists of five great shanties made out of logs that wero standing a fort night since; now they lie low, and none so poor to do them reverence. The cabins were the cook house, tho men's shanty, tho office, the blacksmith's shop and tho stables. Our headquarters were in the office. Flanigan's Camp is M 22 7. There be those who don't understand this S. T. 1860 X designation. It means that the camp is located in section 14, of township 22, north of range 7 west Now you know just where it is. While we made our fastidious toilet in the office there came a terrific and long-drawn out blast like a schooner's fog horn. We rushed out to see if a schooner were running into ns and found a six-foot man in the door of the cook's house blowing a six-foot tin horn. Gabriel's trumpet could not have had a more startling effect at least, out mere it couldn't When Roderick Dhu's whistle sounded shrill there came from everv bush and hill clansmen stern and that sort of thing, but here from behind everv pine tree there seemed to start out a lumberman, and each lumberman was a living chromo no two of the samo stripe. What a scene it would have made on the stage of a theater in an opera bouffe! Tho men went to their cabin and washed and combed. Ev ery man smoothed himself up. There were seventy of them, and, as our din ner costume was the same as theirs, we attracted no attention among the crowd. The men were mostlv Nor wegians. Swedes, Canadians, half breed Indians and a few Irish. At the long pine table each man had his piate ana uis place. ine men were served by the cook aud a counle of uoys called cnore boys. ouirnug uuncu a uoy aim saitt: "Bill of fare, please?1' 'Ain't got none of that" VWell, bring me a napkin." "Ain't got none of tint, either." "All right; bring me what von have got." The table was bare pine. There were crockery plates, iron knives and forks and a pint tin pan to drink out of. The spread was simply sumptuous and the north woods furnishes you a beautiful appetite to do justice to it There was lots of Chicago beef stew ed and boiled potatoes with their jackets on. Then there was meat pie with delicious crust Fried sauer kraut was good and in great demand. The bread was excellent and as while as possible, and was supplemented by the lightest of biscuits. Both bread and biscuit were sweetened with su- Pork and beans were plentiful the intcrcfitini: eeremouv w:is rounded off with stowed apples and mince pic. There wa tea 5mt no milk or butter. There was no time lost over the nifil. xVfter dinner thtMneii went into th-:r cabin for half an hours suuAe and then to the woods again, aud the lively camp was silent once more. There they worked nt making roads, building skids and felling tree until dark. Now as to the cabins. The cook house contained two great ranges of the most modern pattern. There were barrels of Hour aud all the furnishings of a general grocery store -a whdlcsale store at tint. In a box four feet square was the day's setting of bread, requiring about a barrel of Hour every lay. The men are fond of' bread anil eat a great deal of it. The meu's shanty was like a French man's farm, great length and small width. A big box stovo kept it warm, and the stove and most of tho pipe were red-hot, consuming piue worth SO a thousand. Two tiers of berths ran the Ifiigth of the building, and two men occu pied each berth. The bed consisted of several layers of marsh hay and ail tue blaukeLs required. Here at night the men amused themselves j telling stories or dancing to the music oi a name, it is found that any game oi cuanco causes quarreling, so all such gamfc are prohibited. On Sun day tho morning service is meuding cioiucs and tue ntternoon service cut ting hair. In tho office rubbers, matches, aud, in fact, all the men want, are sold. The cutting of trees is no longer uone wiin an ax. A cut is made on tho sido that the tree is intended to fall, and from tho other side a couple of men cut in with a saw. In the woods aro heard the eries iu all dia lects, "Stand clo-e-e-ar." Sometimes an answeriu' erv w heard, "Which way?" (No reference to Ingersoll's lecture.) The direction is shou The direction is shouted back. Then comes the call: 4,She goe3" " And go she doe.-?, with a crash that shakes the earth The trees are about 130 to MO feet high. At 3 o'clock in the morning the bugle blows. At 330 the men have breakfast They then smoke in their B. T. 0 B.T. 0 Square stake. B. T. B. T 0 0 -lwo woodsmen with axes went anead and cleared obtrusive branches and underbrush. Then came the sur veyor. After came Starring and mv self like slaves bearing our chains or rather the chains of the surveyor. Starting with tho square stake, Star ring put the end of tho chain on the end of the stake and I sloshed through the snow till the chain was straightened out. Then Starring sheuted: "Staxk." I would then thrust an iron pin down at my end of the chain and re ply: "Stuck." We would tramp along the next cbam length and repeat the process. During the two mile tramp through tho woods the following interesting dialogue took place between Starring and me: "Stike." "Stuck." "Stake." "Stuck." "Stake." "Stud;." "Stake." "Stucli." "Stake." "Stuck." ' f "Stake." "Stuck." "Stake." "Stuck:' The rest of the conversation was private and of no interest to the gen eral public. The ground was hill aud swamp bometunes the snow prevented the swamp from freezing and several times Starring experimented to find out the depth. It was sometimes up to his shoulders. These swamns are awfully deep. Once I thought I had lost starring but I congratulated my self too soon. We came to a windfall. The wind had slashed trees down in discriminately and with a reckless disregard to the comfort of ex plorers. "I can never climb that," I said. It seemed an impassable wall of snow and branches nnd tree trunks. "Oh, that's easy enough," said he, and he climbed succssfully to the top, showerinc snow in all directions. Unfortnnntely, Starring stepped on a log tnat wasn't -there and down he went, for the first time clean out of sight I clambered up and on get ting to the top fonud him just appear- ing between the tree trunks. "I thought there was a northwest passage down there and dropped down to sec. There is no use in you going down. All roads are blocked there." Notwithstanding this excclleut ad vice I went down a few steps further on. It was very exciting. A little tiresome, perhaps, but most inter esting. The trip sscross some lakes in a blinding snowstorm was an episode. They make a road for hauling logs across the lakes in this way Tho snow is scraped off so that the ice will freeze thick. Theu they go over this with a spriukliug cart and the water freezes on top while it is also freezing below. This makes a strong ice road that will bear up any load. In the wilds we met a lone man on snow shoes. He was a land looker. He had come all the way from Mar quette through the trackless forest. He hunted out laud that wa3 over looked or of whose value the owuer had no idea. This laud he bought and refold. Not long before ho had picked up 1G0 acres of govern ment land at Si an acre, and had sold it so as to clear 7,000. He was a keen judge of pine, and he was an en cyclopedia on snow shoes. Ho knew all about the mineral and topograph ical features of the countrv. and all about the habits of birds and beasts in that wilderness. When we told him the particular square stake that we were going to find miles away he told us just in what position "that stake was, that a hemlock was one bearing tree and a birch another. We fouud it just as ho said. He car ried what is called a half axe with him and at night built a fire and chopped hemlock boughs for a bed. It is said that no one can catoh a cold who sleeps on hemlock boughs. They seem to exude a sort of moisture sweat the woodsmen call it that keeps you warm and comfortable. The land looker carried a compass aud made his way like a mariner over the seas.- -Told by thf f'liain Jiean r. Absoluteln rrccfrom Opiates, Emetics and l'oisoiis.
