it a little rounder with the heavy |
handle of his hunting-knife, and put |
it in his pocket again. The other an-
telope was shot through the heart, just
as he had Intended.
On our way back to the trail with
our load of meat we crossed a ereek
which had been recently dammed by
beavers, and Beauchamp remarked,
“There's a muskrat in the dam with
the beaver.”
“1 didn't see any muskrat or beaver,
either,”
“No more me."
“Then bow do you know there's a
muskrat?’ .
“By the sign”
“But how ean you tell beaver sign

“Well, you can tell one man's writ-

difficult problem. Of the fifteen water
calculate upon continuous supply from
a river (the Onon); all the other rivers
the line passes freeze to the bottom
during the winter. Long pipes in the
ground being always frozen; also most
of the lakes freeze to the bottom, and
their water is also too salt. The few
fresh-water springs would likewise
necessitate long pipes; consequently it
has been necessary to sink wells as
close to the water towers as their
safety will allow. The pipes from the
wells to the towers are so cased in that
they ean be heated from the engine

either by steam or by special stoves,
The water which these wells supply is,
however, also frequently salt, and,
even apart from thie drawback, the
