CHAPTER v.-(Continued.)

"WhO,"
"The very men who robbed me-"
The reaction which came over the
old man was terrible to witness. he
Realized that after all he might lose
his beloved captain whose life was
still in danger, for lie was once more
prisoner.
well, well, all may yet be LOST!
he sighed. "Crack-lash, let's go and
hunt him. Now that we know he is
alive, we got something to hunt for,
and We'll hunt him. Come, Crack
lash!"
After considerable persuasion Paul
induced him to wait until next morn
ing; so they built a camp fire and
prepared to pass the night.
Next morning they were early astir.
They had packed their knapsacks
and were about ready to start, when
Paul suggested:
perhaps the walrus hide will tell
something about this mystery. Let
us take look at it,
He unrolled the walrus hide, and
the ex-sailor, who had long studied
the picture writing Of the Alaskan
Indians, bent over it and began to
slowly and carefully decipher the pic
lures.
The old man had to put all his
knowledge Of picture writing to the
severest test to read He made out
that the captain had discovered rich
gold diggings, but the walrus hide
could give them no hint as to the
whereabouts Of the three men and
their prisoner.
Paul suddenly rolled up the walrus
hide and stuffing it in his knapsack,
said:
THAT piece of hide is key to mil
lions, have no doubt, and il all prob
ability the scoundrels were trying to
make him give it to them
Lets go, Crack-lash. Let's go, fur
I itch to git my fingers about the
threats of the cusses."
They hastily packed up, broke
camp and were soon on their way up
the mountain, engaged in dangerous
search, the result Of which they knew
to be doubtful.

CHAPTER vi.
Berry'S Success,

We will for the present take leave
of Paul Ralston and return to Berrys
party on their way to the Klondyke
They arrived first at F'orty-Mile
camp, but here found nothing to do.
Clarence staked out claim and
went to digging. 1t was slow proc
ess and the reward was poor. He
took out a little sold, but not
nearly enough to pay him for the
hardships. Then came reports of the
wonderful finds in the Klondyke dis
| trict.
"Now is your time, Clarence" said
Ethel. GO at once and make all you
can, while there are so few in the
country"
What shall do with your" he
asked.
"Leave me behind
ethel, I cannot think Of doing
that" he declared.
"You must, Clarence. l will follow
as soon as possible, but hasten on
now and stake out claim for us.
Stake out two, one for you and one
for me- I feel that this is the turning
point in our careers.
And so it proved.
It was the saddest day of his life
when Clarence Berry babe adieu to
his young wife and started alone for
the distant mining camp. The part
ing of the husband and wife, as the
reader may imagine, was affectionate,
but there were no tears. Ethel re-
strained them and smiled cheerfully
as long as she was in sight, to run
into her shanty and have little cry
the moment she could see him no
| more.
The river, which must be crossed
before she could reach the Klondyke,
was already beginning to show signs
of floating ice, and she knew it would
only be a short time before it would
be completely frozen over. So she
worked with will and got everything
packed and started on the little steam
er 'Arctic" for the new land of gold.
Her husband and his party joined her
on the way up the river.
IL was ldIO III CuS SCdSOu WuSu ILLS
devoted, daring couple struck gold of
any consequence. Then it came in a
torrent. All through the winter Clar-
! ence Berry was piling up wealth. His
wife was at the mines every day, and
as the great chunks of frozen earth
were dumped on the ground her fair
fingers were busily at work picking
out the nuggets. During the season
she picked out ten thousand dollars
worth of golden pebbles with her
! fingers.
Though absorbed in gold digging
she never forgot Paul, who with Glum
Ralston had not been heard from
since those two persons left in search
for the bold men who had robbed the
youth.
One night as they sat about their
cheerful fire, there came rap at the
door of their shanty, and they found
Dick Ronold asking admission.
''Come in, Dick. What brings you
out such a night and in such q
Storm" asked Clarence.
Didn't I hear We say somethin
once about KNOWN the Teller called
Cracklash Paul, who used to live back
there In Fresno?"
Eyes, Paul Miller" cried Ethe
eagerly. 1--WE know him. What Of
him?"

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.
1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-f1ve thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly immigration to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Ameri-
can citizens signifed their intention
Of becoming settlers on Canadian
lands, the general public were pre-
cared for the announcement of large
numbers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when it is made
known that predictions Of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
in the fact that tee Spring movement
Canadaward is greater than it has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, st. Paul, Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
ed Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their own resources, sat
also be done by them. This year
much new territory has been opened
UP by the railroads which are extend
ing their main lines and throwing out
branches in their march across the
best grain and grazing lands on the
continent This new territory has
attractions for those desiring to home

acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage Of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that if Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre Will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels Of corn to the acre,
the lands of Western Canada at seven
TO ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of a
superior wheat to the acre should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres
of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
vited the cattle and horse producer
of the North American continent.
What is particularly evident in West
ern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands.
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable. The agents of the
Canadian Government, who are al
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that

NORsk SINGERS COMING.
Famous Chorus That Has Won Praise
THROUGHOUT Europe.

Famous Chorus That Has Won Praise
Throughout Europe.
The students chorus of the Univer-
sity of Christiania will sail Tor Ameri-
ca May /, for two months vacation,
during which they will give concerts
in the larger cities. They are due in
New York May IA, and will leave, on
the return, June 81. This chorus has
had an international reputation for
nearly half a century. Time and again
it has attended worlds fairs and has
made many tours in Norway and
abroad, and at Paris and other capt.
tails of Europe has won unstinted APP
plause. This will be it's first visit to
America, and there is no question but
it's triumphs in the old world will be
repeated in the new.
The chorus will be accompanied by
Rolf Hammer, tenor, and Johannes
Berg-Hansen, basso, as solOists. 0. A.
Groendahl, the composer, who has
long directed the chorus, will Weld
the baton. He is recognized as one
Of the most capable musical conduc-
tors in the North, and has trained the
chorus to a degree Of excellence
which will be revelation to Amerl-
cans, who think they know what good
chorus work should be. Mr.. Groen-
dahl mas composed a version of "For-
an Syden's Kloster," which many pro-
nounce superior to Griegs. The ia
vorite male chorus, "Ung Magnus," is
also Els work.
There will be fifty carefully select
ed voices taken from the student body
and the graduates. They have pre-
pared about fifty songs for the coming
tour, and among them will probably
be Grieg's Den Store Hvide Flok,
with which the Lund students made
such hit year ago.

A GENTLE HINT TO THE
ROSWELL DAILY RECORD

From Santa Fe New Mexican.
Delegate Andrews is to be con-
graduated upon making a settlement
of the claims against him in Pennsyl,
vania. Let us hope that he may now
be able and willing to work as hard
for the interests of New Mexico in
Congress as he has worked to keep
out of jail'.-RosweH Daily Record.
The above is not only, uncalled for,
but is entirely too small for a paper
that enjoys the reputation of the Rec
ord. Absolutely no facts have been
en- against Delegate w. H. Andrews
in connection with the failure of the
Enterprise National Ban in Pitts
burg, Pa. Yellow Journals in Penn
~sylvania, enemies of the Delegate
and his friends, have made sensation
al charges with not a scintilla of evil
dence to support same. After the re-
cent election and after they attained
their object these dirty fabrications
and sensational fakes were dropped.
The Delegate owned the bank a
large sum, which he borrowed in the
usual course of business, and of
which he had paid part and is paying
the remainder. No criminality what
ever on his part has been shown, de-
spite the foolish reports of the Bank
affairs of the defunct financial insti-
tuition. There were threats of indict-
ments but no indictments have as yet
been found. The Delegate, as far
as any one here or in Pennsylvania
knows, has done nothing for which
a criminal action can be laid against
him. The people of New Mexico are
under great obligations to Mr.. An
drews.
Owing to his exertions principally,
50, 900 of capital have been invest
ed in railroads, coal mining and 9TH

more than amply sufficient to main
tain the State. But Mr.. Rodey goes
further and points out that under pro
per the new State need
never levy any school tax. He con-
tends thai the income from sale of
lands, timber and coal belonging to
the State and from rentals of pastur-
ing privileges will bring into the
school fund a million of dollars an
nually, and that the five millions of
dollars which he secured to be put
in liz bill which we get from the
United States treasury will create an
! additional school revenue of 5000, 900,
per annum, and that if about one
fourth of the licenses and fines &C
cruing in the new State are turned in
to the school fund the income per an
nm CT the schools and institutions
VIII amount to about a million and a
half dollars, which will more than
maintain the entire educational sys-
tenn of the new State without the nee
essity of resorting to any tax levy
at all. He also contends that a mod
crate franchise tax will almost main
tain the government itself. These
are broad claims and if even partial
ly correct, the state of Arizona will
be a blessing to its people. State
ments and arguments like this have
a good deal more weight than senti-
mental ones with the thinking people
and the constitution will surely be
adopted under the enabling Act.
