RESCUED FROM EsK1Mos.
Exploring Party in Northern Canada
Discovers EnEIishman who was
BciRg Held by Natives.

Prof. j. w. Tyrell, the celebrated
explorer of Canadian wilds, has re-
turned from an expedition through
the barren lands of northern Canada.
He Travelled over 5000 miles on the
tour. His expedition, which was sent
out by the Canadian government,
met with many perils in the long
journey to the northwest of Hudson
bay.
Prof. Tyrell made the important
discovery that the barren lands gem
orally supposed to be treeless prairie
were covered in many places with
rich northern forests and there were
stretches of timber land 200 miles in
extent
In August Prof. j. w. Bell, of the
geological survey, who was second in
command of the expedition, went or
side tour of 500 miles up one of the
branches of the Thelon. There he
rescued an Englishman named
Charles Bum, who had been held in
captivity by the Eslimos for five
years. Prof. Bell was in the lead of
the party when they entered village
Just before nightfall and was amazed
to see a tall, well built man, dressed
IKE an Eskimo, come running up and
ADDRESS him in English. Bum told
marvellous story. He said that he
had gone out from Edmonton in 1896
and had wandered far into the
interior, shooting and trapping.
He ran short of provisions and
applied to an Eskimo family.
ihey took him to their village, where
he was compelled to remain, living
as one of them. He had several thou
SAND dollars worth of fur. He Joined
Bells party and came out to Edmon-
ton with the explorers.

Jamaica.

Prof. Millspaugh, curator of botany
in the Field Columbian museum and a
professor in the University of Chicago.
returned the other day from a six
weeks stay in Jamaica, where he col.
lected flora and studied methods of
raising and exporting tropical fruits.
Specimens for the museum and in
formation for a course of lectures en-
the banana industry prompted the trip.
He said:
Il have brought back 500 specimens.
many OF which are very rare. BY far
the most wonderful thing about ia.
maica is its banana industry. The Gull
ture, growing. gathering and trans
portation has been brought almost to
a state of perfection. Banana raising
Is the chief occupation, and few or.
anges or other fruits are expected.
The whole northern portion of the is.
iand is controlled by the United Fruit
company. an American firm. This COM
pany contracts for the whole cron
raised by the island farmers. 1t owns

GOOD FOR FARMING,
Alaska Affords Promising Outlook
for the Agriculturist.
Pros. GeorFeson, Special Agent OF
United States AgricuituraI De-
par. ment, Says That Grains and
Flax Grow Well There.

Prof. c. c. Georgeson, special agent
OF the United States agricultural de-
partment in charge of the experiment.
al station in Alaska, at Sitka, has re-
turned from the north for the purpose
OF making his annual report to the
government. He has proved that Alas
ka will ultimately be as promising a
field for agriculture and stock raising
as it is now for mining. He was sent
to the north in May, 1898, and his first
work was to ascertain what could be
produced there in the way of vegeta-
bles. He succeeded in raising choice
barley and oats. Speaking of his exper-
iments in Alaska, Prof. Georgeson said:
There is not the slightest doubt
that grain can be matured almost any-
where in Alaska. / have obtained this
year samples of perfectly ripe barley,
oats wheat and rye from several points
in the interior as far north as Eagle.
These grains were grown and matured
there this year. With one exception
they were volunteer products from
seed accidentally scattered and grown
wild. If grains will grow and mature
without culture. it stands to reason
that they will grow and improve with
culture.
II also grew fax at Sitka the first
year. 1t attained height of more than
three feet. matured seed and produced
fiber of excellent quality. There is no
doubt that flax can be made a success
ful crop in the coast region of Alaska.
My instructions the first year were to
examine the coast region and reserve
lands for experiment stations at suit
able places. With this end in view we
started station at Kenai, on the Kenai |
peninsula. in Cook Inlet. We made |
reservation of 320 acres there. some of
which has been cleared and has ma
tured grain successfully"
