It is believed that Labrador was so named because Portugnese explorers thought the natives would make good Iaborers,. or because of the labor re- quired to make a living there. The name is connected with the old Span- ish name for labor. The ' Labrador coast was discovered in the Tenth cen- tury by Leif, the Norseman, but no ex- plorations were made. It was again discovered in 1497 by John Cabot. Ex- plorations and settlements were made and the peninsula was named. Subscribe tur Ios Lauy Ploneer. Crude Methods of Defense. Pueblo Indians were never warrlors, but in the old days they were subject to frequent attacks by the wandering tribes, such as the Apaches and the Navajos. Therefore many of the crude adobe houses were built with port- holes up.near the roof, which the oc- cupants - used to defend themselves from the attackers. Many of these old houses are still standing, and port- holes are still there, just as they were years_and.xears ago.. Of course. they are all occipied, for no new houses are buflt unless there is an-absolute necessity for them, STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF PEOFLES STATE BANK, PINE- ‘WOOD, MINN, AT CLOSE OF BUSI- NESS ON OCTOBER 6TH, 1921 RESOURCI Loans ‘and’ Discount, Overdrafts ..
