BACK To CIVILIZATION.
ARTHUR CALHOUN RETURNS FROM
KLoNDIKE DISTRICT.
Was Once Famous Football Player
on varsity Team-says NJ. Har-
rias, Old U. of w. Center, IL Worth
sec, OOO-Gone Over Three Years.

Arthur Calhoun: the famous full-back
OF the 1896 football team OF the Uni
versity Of Washington. has returned to
Seattle after a sojourn of three and
half years in the Klondike region. He
intends entering some college, probably
the local university. and IL he does so
will practice for his old position. He
SAYS there is very little prospect OF his
going north again. In talking OF his
experiences yesterday, he said to a Post
Intelligencer reporter:
II don't by any means regret my stay
in the Klondike. | went there in the
early spring OF 1897. when the rush was
at It's height. and this is my first return
TO civilization. Naturally appreciate
the change greatly. The northern coun-
try undoubtedly possesses almost mex
haustible mineral wealth. and VIII con-
tinue TO draw large crowds for several
years to come. believe that the ship
ments of gold to Seattle will be very
heavy this season.
Martin Harrias, who played center on
the varsity football team for four or
FIVE years. and who was captain in 1894
and 1895. has made the biggest stake OF
any of the u OF w fellows who went
north. He has taken out more than
10000 from his claims. and has large
force of men working for him. F. f. 3.
