RETURN TWO ESKIMOS

FELLOWS ON RETURN. i
EDMONTON, Alta., Canada.—Back
¢rom the land of the Blonde Eskimo,
with an insane tribesman, Staff Ser-
Seant Clay and Constable Cornehusl
r;‘ the Royal Canadian mounteg po-.
Yicv pave safely completed a thrilling
ourney of several thousand miles
Jfi'om the most northerly outpost of
the white man in Canada.
Two Eskimos were brought to Ed
monton some Years ago to be tried
for the murder of a missionary in
the far north, and were held at Ft.
McPherson for some time as punish
ment. These two men, -Alusak and
Senniak, formed part of the party
under Sergeant Clay, and were taken
grom McPherson just a year ago and
returned to their tribe on the Coro
nation Gulf. , |
Establish “Farthest North” Post.
Leaving Ft. McPherson the pg?tyi
proceeded down the MacKenzie river
to Herschell Island, where the Hud
son Bay company’s gasoline boat,
«Ft. McPherson,” was used to trans
port the police and their charges to
their Jestination. ;
The journey on the Arctic ocean
occupied about ten days. The party
finally arrived 1,000 miles to the
east of Herschell Island, establishing
a police post at Port Epworth, which
is the most northerly outpost of the
white man in Canada. Constable
Brockie was left in charge here while
the sergeant and Constable Corne
lius proceeded farther east to deliv
er the two Eskimos to their relatives.
Prior to the advent of the police
the Eskimos had staged a big hunt
and had slaughtered far more of the
animals than they could possibly use.
Muskox meat, Sergeant Clay states,
is cood, but slightly strong in taste.
Returned Man Awed Others. -
The two Eskimos who ~returned
from Edmonton were regarded with
much awe by their compatriots, and
in every ingloo held the floor for
hours telling of the wonders of the
white man. Strange to say what in
tercsted them most was the packing
plant in Edmonton, and on this sub
ject they would dilate for hours, but
for the street cars or trains they did
not profess much wonder. The un
usual interest in the packing plant
was explained by Sergeant Clay, the
manner in which it appealed to the
Eskimo’s mind being that the white
man when in need of food went to a
bie house where there was an abund
ance of food and all that was neces
sary for him to do was to carry it
away, whereas the Eskimo had to
hunt for his.
Having returned the Eskimos to
their people, a start was made for
the “outside.” Port Epworth being
left on. March 15 and Edmonton
reached on Aug. .13. Sergeant Clay
and Constable Cornelius had the dog
teams and equipment and proceeded
from the mouth of the Coppermine
River, south, across country to Great
Bear Lake; the lake was crossed on
the ice, the Bear River being followw
ed to Ft. Norman on the MacKenzie,
from where they started up the river
on a small scow, but running into
an ice jam between Ft. Norman and
Ft. Good Hope lost the dogs and all
their equipment.
The jam took them into the cen
ter of the river, which is a mile
wide in this neighborhood, and when
it scemed a certainty that the scow
was doomed the dogs were cut loose
and never seen again.
Scow Carried Away.
[he scow was finally brought to
the shore, but was caught in another
jam and carried away, leaving the
two members of the force with noth
ing Ihm; the mail sack and a little
From this point the men started
to walk to Ft. Good Hope, a distance
of 130 miles, but luckily they found
an Indian canoe in a cache on the
river hank which was utilized to 8o
to the fort,
After two days at Good Hope a
start was made for Ft. McPherson,
where Inspector Woods of the Arctic
sub-district was met. Leaving Me-
Pherson the usual route was follow
¢d by Ft. Smith, McMurray and the
rallway to Edmonton.

Fertilizer Injury to Young Peach
Trees When Set.
On the third day of March, 1920,
a number of young peach trees were
set at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion, and different kinds of fertiliz
ers mixed with the soil, and allowea
to come in contact with the roots in
filling up the holes, so as to deter
mine the effects on the newly set
trees.
The trees set were fertilized as
follows:
Trees Nos. 1 and 2 received two
pounds of cotton seed meal each.
Tree No. 3 received no fertilizer.
Trees Nos. 4 and 5 received two
pounds of a fertilizer made by mix
ing together 134 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 1% pound of nitrate of
soda, and 2 pounds of acid phos
phate. :
Trees Nos. 6 and 7 received one
pound of nitrate of soda each.
Trees Nos. 8 and 9 received two
pounds of acid phosphate each.
Trees Nos. 10 and 11 received %
pound of sulphate of ammonia each.
On the 15th day of May all the
trees which had been fertilized with
either nitrate of soda or sulphate
of ammonia singly or in combination
with other fertilizers were dead;

'EXPRESS‘ AGENT AT

A NUMBER OF MISSING ARTI
CLES FOUND IN J. O. HOOD’S
| HOME. DRIVER ALSO HELD.
| e
| For some time the American Ex
' press Co. has been worried by com
plaints of losses of articles handled
:by it on the Central road (and per
“haps other roads) and has had its
~special agents investigating. These
' reached a conclusion that the failure
'of express to reach its destination
' was due to a band or ring. It was de
' cided to arrest all suspected parties
on a certain day and search their
| premises. The date was last Tuesday.
. J. 70. Hood, who has been express
‘agent at Cuthbert for several
‘!mon.ths, was under suspicion, and a
;speaal agent swore out a search
' warrant and had Sheriff Taylor to
serve it. The agent claimed to have
found in Mr. Hood’s home several
' articles of missing exbress, and four
| warrants charging larceny after trust
' were sworn out. He gave bond of
|slso on each charge.
| The premises of LaFayette Lowe,
| express wagon driver, were searched,
' too, and a suit of clothes and some
other things were found which. the
| special agent claimed to identify as
|having been abstracted from the ex
press company. A warrant charging
’ larceny after trust wa§ issued against
;him and he was placed under bond
' of $3OO. ’
| According to the de ective there
' are grounds for believ%ng that not
lonly express messengers, express
agents, express wagon drivers, but
‘railroad employes, including conduc
‘tors, were in the band that has been
‘swiping express.—Cuthbert Leader.

A GRATEFUL LETTER.
It is in trying conditions like that
related below by Mrs. Geo. L. North,
of Naples, N. Y., that proves the
worth of Chamberlain’s Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy. “Two years ago
last summer,” she says. “our little
boy had dysentery. At that time we
lwre living in the country eight
- miles from a doctor, Our son was
taken ill suddenly and was about the
sickest child I ever say. He was in
| terrible pain all the time and passed
from one convulsion into another. I
gent my husband for the doctor and
after he was gone thought of a bot
tle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diar
rhoea Remedy in the cniboard. I
gave him some of it and he began
to improve at once. By the time the
doctor arrived he was out of dan-

seed meal alone, acid phosphate
alone and not fertilized were living
and had made slight swig growth.
By June the first all the trees, ex
cepting the one receiving no fertili
zer, had died. This particular tree
had made approximately eleven
inches of twig growth and seemed
vigorous and healthy,
The above conditions are what
might be expected, for as soon as
enough of the fertilizer goes into
solution to make the soil moisture of
greater density than the sap in the
roots of the newly set trees the sap
is extracted from the roots—a pro
cess known as exosmosis—and the
tree soon dies. The more soluble
the fertilizer. applied the quicker
exosmosis begins and the quic?cer the
tree will die, as was shown by the
trees receiving nitrate of soda and
sulphate of ammonia dying quicker
than those receiving cotton seed
meal and acid phosphate. :
The practical point to be remem
bered is that in transplanting young
fruit trees do not use commercial
fertilizers in the holes as the trees
are being set,

EMMETTE E. DUNAWAY, ALLEG
ED MEMBER OF BAND THAT
* STOLE VALUABLE GOODS.
OGLETHORPE, Ga.—Emmette E.
Dunaway, agent of the -American
Ra?lway Express company here, has
beén placed under arrest, and his
bond fixed at five thousand dollars.
It is alleged that Dunaway, in con
junction with several express com
pany employes, had been systemati
cally robbing the company of valu
able merchandise for months, and it
is said several of the clerks confess
ed and implicated Dunaway, stating
that much of the booty had been
sent to him in Oglethorpe.
A detective for the company came
here and demanded that Dunaway
allow a search of his house for the
stolen goods. It is said this was re
fused, whereupon the officers broke
in the house, and found many valua
ble articles alleged to have been stol
en from the company. Among the ar
ticles alleged to have been found
were a grafonola and many silk
shirts and other wearing apparel,
and numerous other articles, the ex
press company claiming that they
traced all these articles, as well as
many others, directly to Dunaway.
Dunaway has been agent here sev
‘eral years, his family living here.
‘Mrs. Dunaway was visiting relatives
and friends in Newton, and was not
'here when her husband was arrested.
