DAWSON*. — Toothless, emaciated
and wasted to the bone, a warrior of
the frontier who had gone up against
the gaunt horror of scurvy made his
way into Dawson, coming hundreds
of miles from the wilderness, and is
here today to tell one of the.strangest
tales of hardships of the pioneer ever
brought to light. All last winter he
fought the scourge of scurvy, and
was down until he could not walk,
and the flesh began to peel and his
teeth drop out. This is the story as
he tells it himself, and he is Jasper
William Corning, of the upper Felly
and the distant Liard river.

| winter together. Most of the winter
we both suffered intensely. Many a
day l thought it would be the last for
the boy and that the next sun would
see me in that silent wilderness put- ¥
ting the boy to sleep in the frozen
earth. But we both had endurance, I
and pulled through. How we sur
vived after getting so low is a mys
tery.
•‘In the spring of 1914 we went up
the Polly with a three-year outfit and
dropped down the Liard some dis
tance and made camp for the winter.
We hud what was considered a good
outfit.. We had only enough apricots
to last us a few weeks, just part of a j
box, and consumed them soon after j
going into the coun'fy. Then we had j
only figs, raisins, currants and sweet ;
canned fruits. The absence of fresh
fruits and vegetables or something j
seemed to bring on the scurvy. We
were taken sick last fall. I am 56 j
years of age, ami have been in the
Polly country since 1902, ami the fcoy
is 20 vears of age and has been there
seven years. We thought we knew j
how to take care of ourselves, but
something was lacking and our ex
perience was frightful. The thought
of it is as a terrible nightmare.”

j VALDEZ RAILROAD COMPANY
LOSES RIGHT OF WAY
'
The local land office yesterday re
ceived a long letter from the ,
commissioner of the general land
office, in which he declared forfeited
the right of way und all holdings of .
the Valdez, Marshall Pass & North
ern Railroad Company.
The decision was rendered because
j the company had failed to comply
| with the conditions necessary to pre
serve its rights in the right of way *
of the proposed railroad.
The road was started about the
time of the Copper River & North
western and was to run from Valdez
over Marshall Pass to the interior.
Surveys were made, but financial
backing was lacking and nothing look
ing toward actual construction work
: was ever started.—Dispatch. i L

tions now being so hastily manufactured in England are
being given to the Servians and Montenegrins.
