HARDSHIP IN THE FAR NORTH
A Students Terrible Experience in the
Wilds Of Alaska
BURIED DEEP IN SNOW FOR MONTHS
Struggles 10 Preserve Life in n Cold
Cabin with the Frozen Body of
His Father Lying on
the Floor.

An experience that would wreck the mind
Of any ordinary mortal, If IL did not bring
death at the end was that Of Clinic y. Hill
OF Seattle who accompanied his father,
FORMER President Eugene X. Hill of the
Washington State university, to find new
route from the coast of Alaska to the head
waters of the White river. through the un-
explored valley OF the AlsaC. Hill, who is
an athlete, returned home on the steamer
Topeka, relates a correspondent OF the st.
Louis Globe Democrat. HE fathers terrible
death from disease, $50 miles from the coast,
in a wilderness untracked by man, has been
told 1t occurred last January. but so re-
mote is the Hill cabin from human settle
ments that the story only reached his friends
a few days ago The detailed story of young
Hill's terrifying experience is one of hard
ships privation and death unequalled in the
story of Alaska's horrors. For weeks the
boy sat in the cabin in total darkness with
the frozen body of his father lying stim in
a corner, no light, no fire and all his pro-
visions frozen hard as stone and he him
self near unto death with seurvy,
That he survived the terrible ordeal OF dis
ease and loneliness was due at once to his
superb constitution and the iudomtable will
inherited from the father, who died in the
stick 1t out until help would come"
81 had been in Alaska some months when
father reached there in February, 1898 My
party was camped at Yakutat, aud father
was leading what was known as the Norman
party from st. Paul Hs party started
across the glacier about month before our
party started, and when they got to the sum
NIT the majority of the party got afraid and
turned back to Yakutat to get more provis-
ions, leaving my father and one man with
five days provisions to work on ahead and
blaze trail They promised to return at
once but they never went back, and father
and hs companion, finding they were run
ming short of provisions, turned back them
selves, expecting to meet the returning party
on the trail.
Poor father. He seemed fated TO lose his
life in that desolate land, even after a hand
to hand fight with death for twenty
days, for he was lost that long, he and his
companion having missed the trail going
back. The story of his sufferings starvation,
freezing and rescue when just alive, has been
told as we'll as words can tell it. Our party
reached the summit of the glacier few
days after father had been found. He was
able to sit up when | got to him, and urged
me to go ahead. We went on to Alsac river,
father resting all summer and joining us on
the river in September 1898.

Winter Quarters.

II had just returned from scout up
the river, and found that it ran through
canyon forty miles long, through which we
could not pass, so we determined to find
road around the canyon over the glacier,
so that in the spring we, could again ascend
the river. We made our winter camp where
we were and cached all our supplies and
then took turns hunting road across the
glacier. Dick Layhe and found way
that led down into a SaHey. We named
it Paradise valley. 1t seemed paradise
when we found it, after all the snow and
ice of the glacier but 1t proved an inferno
before left it.
at was now agreed that two men with
provisions for the winter should stay in
Paradise valley, so as to be there early in
the spring, and get down timber with which
to build boat The rest of the party was
to remain at the original camp and in the
spring bring the entire outfit over the
glacier to Paradise valley. Father and I
agreed to stay in the valley.
I'VE took over a fine outfit, and bid the
rest goodby about the middle of September,
they returning to the big camp.
Winter was nearing us so fast that the
first thing we did was to build us a tight
log cabin with two windows and a door.
There was no floor to the cabin but as we
made the roof out of sawed lumber, we
saved the sawdust, and there was plenty
of it to cover the floor to depth of four
or five inches. We also built a stone fire
place in the cabin and connected it with the
roof We had stove with the pipe run
ming out of the top of the roof Knowing
that the snow fell to a great depth in that
part of Alaska, it was our plan to allow the
cabin to be showed in except for a tunnel
at the door, which we could easily keep
clear. This would allow lis to get out on
our snow shoes for wood or TO hunt game
or clear the snow away from the stove
pipe.

Testing of Children's Strength.

Testing of Children's Strength.
A scientific investigation of the
physical strength of the Chicago
school children is to be undertake
en- by the Board Of Education Of
that city, and the results which
they obtain will be used as a
standard for the treatment Of
pupils as to their capacity for
mental endurance and physical
exercise. 1t is thought that the
results would be very important
and serve to revolutionize the
methods which are now in vogue.
The theory of the test is to de-
termine what is known as the
fatigue period" of a child, Or
that period of it's life at which it's
energies are at it's lowest ,,ebb,
and, therefore, the time when it's
school work should net be press
ed. The scheme will be put in
operation at one of the largest
elementary schools, in which at
least one thousand children are
are taught. The pupils will be
weighed and measured and will
be examined, for the purpose Of
determining their physical condi
ton. A test will then be made
of 1.-THE strength and endurance
powers of the muscles of the child.
This will be done by the special
