proceed leisurely along the Alas
kan coast to Ihe Aleutian islands,
landing at various poiufs en

the Aleutian islands the vessel
will proceed across Bering sea to
the Siberian coast to Kamchatka,
and from thence cruise along the
shore line northward to Indian
Point, northeast Siberia, from
whence Ihe ship will sail for
Nome, planning to "reach I here

the Abler will again return to
Seward, reaching here the latter
part of September, and the mem
bers of the expedition will devote
considerable time to gathering
specimens native to the Kenai
peninsula—moose, mountain
sheep, bear, etc. Four of the best
guides on the peninsula—Ben
Sweazy, Andrew Simons, Charles
Einsweilep and Andrew Berg, will
be employed to aid the party in
their quest for game.
Mr. Kleinschmidt has with him
a complete moving picture ma
chine, which he will use for ob
taining picture films during his
voyage.
Mrs. Kleinschmidt and three
children, who came on the Abler,
will remain in Seward until the
vessel’s return in the fall. Mrs.

Far Away Alaska.
Our order seems to thrive ill
any kind id' soil or climate. In the
torrid zone, around about the
Panama Canal and also in the
frigid zone of Alaska, we read of
new lodges being instituted and
older lodges growing. Some one
sen I us a copy id' the “Valdez
Miner,” published Sunday, April
ti, at Valdez, Alaska, which gives
a glowing account of the installa
tionn of Valdez Lodge No. 0,
which was completely organized
and went to work on Monday pre
vious. It starts out with a char
ter list of about in members and
has purchased an out lit at a cost
of .$951, and titled up a hall at an
expense of over $300. This lodge
would make some of the new
lodges in North Carolina turn
pale if they were to see it at work.
Thd reason they succeed and
“make good” is because they “do
things.’’--North Carolina Odd
Fellow.
