JOE IAST1NDALE
m SARD TRIP
Geo. F. Kilroy received a letter from
Joe Martindale on the last mail. The!
letter was dated January 10. and was
written at Tanana.
: Mart indale was unfortunate enough
to he traveling during the cold spell,
and some of his experiences were suffi
ciently st renuous to test the staying
power of the hardiest musher.
December 2^ he and Jim Haley pulled
out from Diskaket in4S-helow weather. !
They made the 40 miles to Lake Shore- ;
roadhouse that day, only to find the
j cabin occupied by an Indian and ,
squaw. It was bitterly cold, the cabin,
being frozen, and they had much diffi- 1
lenity in getting supper cooked and
sufficiently warmed up themselves to
s I e e p.
For days in succession the tempera
ture ranged near H below, and at Low
'den it became too much to stand, so he |
had to stay over at the Indian road
house there. The native surprised him
, with on excellent feed: he got a go id
! rest, and started off for Lewis’ road
1 iiouse next morning. JanuaryJhe left
Lewis’ for Ruby. Although it was
only 22 below :hme wa-> a strong wind,
and it was the hardest day ci the trip.
There being no trail he had to take the
lead all the way: the cold van tierce- -
the dogs being almost unable to face
it. He froze his face and arrived at
Ruby feeling very sick—his lungs sore,
'and with a bad cough Seeming hot
| liquid refreshment at Charley FToxiu’s,
i Mr. Mar:ioda!e fo't much better, but
i decided to stay over at Ruby for two
I days and rest up. lie made the jour
| ney from Ruby to Tanana (120 miles)

Washington, January 8.—‘’From *5,000 to 20,000 gii Is between j
j the ages oi 13 and 25 rears, a majotity of whom are native-born Amer- |
i icaus, ate the victims each year of the white slave traffic in the United I
j States. About 50,000 men and women make an ‘easy’ living every
: year selling, buying ami living on the earnings of these girls.”
Stanley W. Finch, for 29 years an attorney and official in the De
! partment ot Justice, made this startling statement here. When Mr. j
i Finch made the statement above quoted he qualified it by saying that it
i was a conservatitie estimate.
‘‘White slave traffic in some form or other has existed for 6,000
years,” said Mr. Finch. ‘‘In Europe it lias been carried on with
I fluctuating success for 3,000 years; in the United States, with varying
t but ever-growing success, for 100 years.”
De.siie foi fortune and “easy” living on the part of the dealers, anil
the susceptibility of young girls to fraud and deceit, are the causes, di
reetlv, for the startling growth of the traffic in the United States, Mr.
Finch said.
‘‘One million dollars will suppress the traffic, and for $250,000 a
year it can be kept suppressed,” said Mr. Finch.
Efforts are being made to have uniform ‘‘slave” laws enacted in all
the states, and with this law more criminals will be apprehended.

We will collect all of our energy in disposing ot the remaining
