Humbug!!  Are there no prisons?  Are the workhouses closed?

Oh well, I guess we shall just continue our travels down historical trails
as the new year greets us, and leave the mean-spirited Scrooges of this life
to their own ill will.

God Bless us each and everyone.

From Texas, Where Men are Men--and drink their water from Hoof-prints; Women
can be Governor--briefly; and now, Praise the LORD, a place where we are
finally getting some honestly cold weather so needed to put the vermin and
critters that bite into an even meaner mood come warmup--those that survive.

Merry Christmas.  Pablo the Ever Humble

The quality of discourse on this line is subject to variation, coming from a
bunch of reprobates "who do not scruple to break wind in publick", but it is
the holidays and we all seem to be getting a little frivolous -- Ho Ho Ho
and all. We'll get back to our usual discussions and occasional flame wars
after the break, I'm sure. Meanwhile, welcome aboard, stay warm, and don't
be afraid to use that delete control on threads outside your area of

Thanks to you all for the responses - I got on this list because of similar
interests.
Thanks Hardtack ( what is a Long Spanish Pause ? ), Randy, Pat, Lanney and
Capt. Lahti.
Question: when Lewis and Clark spent five days at canoe camp near Orofino,
Idaho, the Indians there showed the Corps how to burn out the canoes as this
was a faster process then hacking away at them.  I know the burning process
involved water to cool the canoe/tree but how was
all this done and what kind of trees were the best to use?
Does anyone have an answer?
Thanks

Don,

A couple years ago the "boys" in that area made quit a spring project of turning
out several dug-out canoes for a recreation of L and C's trip on down the
Clearwater from that location. They had a boat yard set up in Lewiston and when
the canoes were done, took them up near Orofino to launch. I and the wife
watched them going down stream the Sat. after the Viapon Park Western broke up,
on our way home. I know that Vern Illi was involved and Lee Newbill may have
some insight too. In Lewiston, I watched them use axes and big augers to take
wood out of what they called Yellow Pine though it may have been Ponderosa. They
also were using fire to burn some of the wood away after boring some serious
holes down into the logs. I don't recall seeing them needing to use any water
for the operation and from my experience playing with fire as a fireman I don't
see it as being needed. I would be curious where you got that idea from. If Vern
and Lee are on line maybe they will wade in? I remain....

Don,  The corps of discovery made the canoes out of Ponderosa Pine.  I
believe that cotton wood is prefered, but it was not growing at Canoe
Camp.  The trees were green.  A small fire was built, and monitered, then
coals were moved to allow chopping with axe.  I'm not sure were the water
came in.  A Spanish Pause is slang for 'taking a breather'.  It has been
suggested on this list to take a Spanish Pause before replying to a
message, so as to not say something one may regret later.  It's like
counting to ten...    The others provided good responses to your comment.
 I thought the comment about the buffalo foot wear was right up this
lists alley.  We are all friends here, There is lots of good info. flying
around, as well as friendly chat.  Welcome to the list, I look forward to
swapping info. with you in the future, as well as friendly chat.   Take
Care,  Hardtack

Thanks Capt. Lahti' and Hardtack
I heard that the Indians would cool down the fires/coals with water when the
burning was all done so they could control what they wanted burned!
Does that make sense?

List members,

I have tried cottonwood for a dugout and I think Wes Housler told me was
using the same wood, as the wood dried it has started to get some pretty
healthy cracks. Wes was going to try and seal his to prevent this ? Crosby
Brown at Ft. Charette in IL has an original dugout and keeps it in the water
most of the time, sinks it during the winter to prevent cracking, not sure
what the wood is.

Anyone have any ideas on a better wood that won't have such a problem of
cracking, (my wife's fish pond isn't big enough to hold a 17" dugout unless
its cut in half !!!!!!)

Buck
