Mink, deer, otter, sable, beaver, bear and the rest, with here and there even brought now a “green” buffalo hide, are in this manner hundreds of miles. The enterprising American wagon maker, with the marvellously light and* strong products of h s shop and its woo l his working machinery, has not yet pushed wares into those desolate regions. In deed it would hardly pay him to do so, for the population rarely has any ready cash to expend on modern improvements, and moreover it has abundant time ou its hands to whittle pat ently away ou “fellies” and spokes until a vehicle w and produced that meets his requirements, is in many respects a marvel of in* genuity, considered though somewhat rude when ft o n the standpoint of artistic workmanship.
