The ruling which compels the inves- tigation of each final entry made ontside of the district land ' office by the special agent, will work hardship to many settlers. The result will be that the special agent - will be unable to take _care-of-his-~work and-it will get twoor three years behind. The settler will become discouraged calms the air and the woods that hush the winds, signifies rest and peace. And this is the mood of the desolated old claim cabin. COUNCIL MEETING. Feb. 8, 1904.

GREELEY THE DESERTED CLATM SHANTY. Deserted, neglected, a hope- less wreck, the old cabin stands. Ghostly it stands, an unburied corpse, an untuned instrument, a withered witness of the fron- tier’s wasted days. The win- dows glare with sightless eyes, and the doorway yawns with toothless mouth. Winter, with its shroud of snow upon the skeleton trees and the evergreens, is more in harmony with the old ‘‘shack” than any other Season. i When spring brings the wild geese on their northward wing, the old lut knows the tall, lea.ni willows soon will grow green with life again, the wild -cucum- ber vine will blossom gay once more, and the saucy cowslip will parade to shame the staid solemnity of the cabin they sur- round. ’ | The shrubs in flirting with the wind and the bees in courting; the flowers of the summer time will rob it of its dignified serious- ness. They are too young, too thoughtless to sooth its shat- _ tered soul. It better likes the silent night which throws the| willow shadows long across the obbing brook, and calls the owl o hoot its solemn prophesy. .~ Autumn turns the tamarack to - yellow hues and makes the maple tower high in burnished gold. he monotone sung by the wind | _among. the gloomy pine does ' voice the lingering sadness of house, revives its cracking memories.
