willing to travel four hundred miles

That Jake Kirstan is a live member

piople os he came there at four
o'clock lu the morning and stayeu
tin hour ull of which time was spent
on the upper deck of the Sarah gath
ering data for his flno description of
• he place. It says that Carpenter's
statement that Kuby is 176 miles be
low Tatyana when the distance U
really 120 miles Is a fair specimen
^f the famous traveler's accuracy,
.'ftvertheless, the paper declares that
.he misinformation and inuccuracis
disseminated by Carpenter are part
ly the fault of the people who should
cave a representative committee ap
.o'nted :to welcome writers and in
estigutors from congress and others
who may have something to say of the
city.

The Borden Marathon race Is sche
duled to take place tomorrow at ten
o'clock If the weather conditions are
favorable. • But present indications
are that the conditions will not be at
all Ideal. The weather Is warm, sul
try, squally and no change for the
bitter 13 indicated. Billy Webb whose
string is reported to have covered the
course In 1.58 is so confident that
there will be no race tomorrow that he
diova his dog9 over the course this
atfernoon, a thing he would not dream
o' doing If he expected to race them
tomorrow. Other racing men are
dubious also. The committee will
make It known tomorrow morning hv
nine o'clock if they conclude to start
the race but Mr. Cole today did not
think it probable that the weather
would Improve sufficiently for the
race.
t. Klrstan who with Bud Welch
recently returned from a long swing
through the back country and along
the coast as fnr north as Cape Prince
o' Wales on a fur buying trip is loud
In his praise of the fine hospitality
extended to him evrywhere he wont.
He speaks in particular of Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Christiansen at York who
welcomed Klrstan and Welch after a
herd day’3 travel In a manner they
will never forget. Their dogs were
taken care of and they were provid
ed for In the most thoughtful man
ner. Mr. and Mrs. Coffin at Cape
P*>nce of Wales school house were
j nlso mentioned for their generous re.
| ception. They were very accommo
dctlng In every way.
Klrstan says that the natives at Cape
Pi ince of Wales are now doing very
well. They had caught three polar
beer and were getting plenty of «eal.
Me was able to buy a large load of
furs of excellent quality. He reports
that the lynx which are present In
unprecedented numbers are killing
reindeer at many points. Incredible
as it may seem he saya the big cats
Jump on the deer and attack the
thtcat so viciously that they kill the
laiger animal. It Is thought by na
tives and others that the lynx have
migrated from the Interior for some
reoson. In fact the unparalleled short
-.ige of rabbits and ptmarlgan, the in
flux of lynx and the reported migra
tion of wolves, moose, and caribou
fiom th clr accu.ttomed haunts is
thought by some to be duo to natural
censes not understood by human be
ings.

flics into a passion of rage and dis

by Vivian. Cat-like she literally tears
a sleeve from his coat. A much

Drugs! At last Esther knows all. She
is shocked and ashamed. In horror,
she throws the diamond from her.
