Mr.. WAILAoE's trip down the coast OF
Labrador from north to south may add
some facts Of Importance. to u geographic
cal knowledge, II he and his two companions
with their dog team travelled far enough
back OF the coast to bring to light the UNI
known interior at a considerable distance
from the Atlantic. The least known part
Of Labrador is now that which lies between
the coast and the George River, a belt ex-
tending from the north to the south OF
Labrador from 100 to 200 miles wide. Most
Of it is still u~nexplored. The course OF the
Hamilton, or Grand, River ia we'll known,
and Mrs. HUBBARD was the first to follow
and map the entire COURSES of the Naskopie
and the George rivers, q good piece OF ex-
ploration that will be fully appreciated
when her results are published.
Outside the explorations along these
rivers we know very little OF the geography
of this part of Labrador. The journeys
by white men have usually been by dog
sledge in winter on the ice along the coast,
though some Of them may have made short
trips in the interior. The Esquimaux have
routes through this country and have fire.
ouently travelled across IL, but Mr.. WAL
LACE is the first explorer to traverse the
region between the northern and southern
limits of Labrador. The geographical im-
p~ortance Of his journey will depend upon
whether he followed the coast from settle
ment to settlement or tracked through the
unknown interior. He would not have to
20 much back Of the heads Of the fords to
get into it, The possibilities OF such a
journey we're demonstrated by the Della
barre expedition Of 1900. when Professor
DELABARRE, one Of his comrades and two
Esquimaux travelled in the interior from
Hebron to Nakvek, about 100 miles by the
winding route followed. The trip was
through the mountain region, very striking
In it's rugged and scenic aspects, and giving
new opportunities for exploratory work.
II Mr.. WALLACE, when he left Ungava In
August, pushed through the peninsula to
the east Of the bay, he may have settled
the question whether. as has been conjeot-
ured, the highest points Of the eastern part
of the continent are situated here. The
very little we have recently learned OF this
mountain region does not strengthen the
supposition, long thought to be probable,
that some Of these submits out-top any OF
the Appalachians.

WAS DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Mrs. Wilson'S Hotel in Albany Had a
Close Call.

From the Albany Herald.
Another close call for the New AL
bany hotel was recorded last night,
when fire gained dangerous Roadway
close under the roof of the annex and
gave Chief James and his men an un-
usually anxious half hour.
The fire was discovered little be-
fore $50 O'Clock. At that hour vol
ume of grayish smoke was seen pour
inc from the caves of the building i'm
mediately over the main entrance.
The firemen went with line of hose
through the Office and up two flights
of stairs. 1t was apparent that the
seat of the trouble was between the
root and the ceiling of the third floor.
There we're no vents in the roof, and
the firemen found that the entire space
above the third floor apartments was
steaming hot besides being filled
with a dense volume of smoke.
There was comparatively slight
damage to the building from fire,
though the loss from water is quite
heavy, as was to have been expected.

of fine carpets were almost ruined, and
bedding was soaked before it could be
removed. Furniture received drench,
ing, and the woodwork was badly
: stained.
The damage was confined to the
front portion of the building, erected
only a few years ago.
At the New Albany it was stated
this morning that it was not yet pos
sible to estimate the damage, though
| it was the opinion of the representa-
tive of the owners, Wilson & Bald

tive conferred, that the loss would be
between So, 600 and 81, 900. The loss is
