This is q story OF a thousand men who
dropped out OF the world nearly three years
ago. While a few have come back to civili-
satlon some others will never return and
most Of them will be away from their fell
lows for years yet to come.
Few explorers have endured more hard
ships andhave been in more perilous places
than the thousand men who have been
spying out the wilderness OF northern
America and laying out the route OF the new
tran~Bcontinental railroad In Canada They
have penetrated into regions where the
face Of the white man was never before
eeen save for an occasional fur trader or
agent OF the HudsonAs Bay company.
The thousand are not honored with the
name OF explorers. They form merely
a surveying corps. 1t is not likely that a
hook will ever be written about their adj
ventures, although 1t would make as in
teresting reading as the average volume
Of travel, for their work has revealed a
great country which has been practically
a mystery to the people Of the civilized
world-the wilderness OF far Canada.
Glance at the map and you will find that
the little dots and circles that mark the
towns and cities OF Ontario and Quebec
are cluSUofOQ In inc SOuJnern part OF tneBe

Railroad forms the northern border Of the
settlement OF most OF this territory.
Run a line northward across Ontario
from the shore of Lake Huron to the waters
of James Bay. 1t measures nearly 500
miles, while Quebec, ever from the st.
Lawrence River, stretches away as many
miles toward the Arctic. Yet the railroad
referred to traverses only the extreme
southern portions Of these provinces. and
nine-tenths OF their area is a region which
has been familiar only to the occasional

1t is called the Office OF the Canadian Trans

planned this invasion of the wilderness
and who directs every movement of he

The Strong Belt means a strip OF America

the strongest work horses in the world

NEW PEAK is THROWN UP.
Volcanic Disturbance In North Caus-
es Change In Chart.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 25.-Captain
A. j. Henderson, of the revenue cut
ter Thetis, on arrival here, from the
Arctic, confirms with official reports
accounts of a violent volcanic erup-
ton OF Mount Makushin on Septem-
ber l., and the existence of a new
peak raised from the sea forming a
part OF the Bogoslov formation. The
la'est addition Is the fourth, and
with It's appearance the bottom of
the ocean has raised until channels
formerly sufficiently large for the
passage of ships are now dry land.
The Makushin volcano was threat
ening for six hours, and ashes heavi-
ly impregnated with sulphur fell TO
depth OF three-eighths of an inch.
The mountain Is 20 miles from
Unalaska. Reports made to Captain
Henderson states thre eother similar
volcanic disturbances have occurred
along the Alaska coast during the
present summer.
