the impending election for County
Judge:
GAS the election approaches, it
becomes evident that much depends
on the city Of WatertUwD. Reports
from WatertCwn would indicate that
Mayor Mulberger will receive the
greatest number of votes Of the local
candidates there. If the city cf

idea of the above. trCA ~i,.~L. -
the editor has been able to obtain,
and from personal interviews. there
is no question but that the great
body of the voters of this city are
for the election of Mayor MuIberger
for county judge. Whlie Watertown
has three candidates in the field. and
while we recognize the merits OF the
other gentlemen, who are Candidates,
it is nevertheless our judgment that
the vote OF this city Will be PRAC-
TICALLY united for Mayor MuIberg-r.
The voters, here, from what we gather
IN our interviews, realize that to
secure the election of one of the
candidates from this city, the citizens
must concentrate their vote upon one
man; and that the man who is
strongest throughout the county and
this city, is Arthur MuIberger.
1t is our opinion that Mayor Mul-
berger is gaining strength daily in
the northern part of the county, based
upon opinions We hear expressed from
citizens of neighborng towns. With
this support and a united support in
the city, Watertoun man can be
elected. That Watertown will stand
loyalty by Mayor Mulberger and will
not divide the voting strength of this
city is our opinion.
The vote should not be divided,
and 1t will not be divided, in cur
opinion.
Mr.. Mulberger has been a faithful,
conservative, highly efficient public
officer of this county and city for the
last six years. AS mayor he has
made splendid reputation for fair
ness and care In the performance of
public duty. Watertown deservedly
takes pride in him and in his record.
and it is our opinion that the voters
of this city Will stand practically
united for him on election day.
This paper appreciates the merits of
the other local candidates and our
columns Will be open to them and to
their friends, for we recognize that a
newspaper is public institution.
Still it is our opinion that the best
interests of the city lies in uniting our
strength on one candidate, and that
candidate, other things being equal,
who has the greatest chance of being
elected; and in our opinloon We state
unqualifedly that Mayor Mulberger is
that candidate. and it will be the
policy of this paper to urge his cam
didacy and to urge united vote for
him on election day.-Leader.

AN ECCENTRIC EXPLORER
Rev. Noel Got Started to Descend Mackenzie and LiaPd Rivers
 and His Fate Unknown.

The route planned by the lost ex- plorer inquired for in the circular printed below would have led by Rampant. From Fort McPherson to the mouth of the Porcupine it would lie in region twice traversed by the distinguished Norwegian, Amundsen, in the early spring of 1906, and also twice by s. J. Marsh in the summer of the same year. MT. Marsh is now United States com missioner at Caro, Alaska. Messrs. Kinney Mcleod and Archie Campbell, prospectors from Rampant, spent the winter prospecting between the head of the Porcupine and the Arctic coast, and me twith natives from Herschel Island. There is trading post at Rampant House Lapierre House? and there is occasional communication between that point and the Yukon river and also with natives from the Arctic coast. If an ex- plorer had been seen by natives or whites anywhere between the Yukon river and th. Arctic ocean 1t is very probable the fact would have become widely known.
 1t ia therefore most likely that the man either changed his plans or was substance oi the circular iollowss

Yukon Valley news., 1907-06-26

The express purpose of Rev. Noel Got-as explained in his letters from Skagway in May, 1905-was to make a solitary trip down the Liard and Mac kenzie rivers, and thereby via Fort Me- Pherson and Lapierre House reach the Porcupine and Yukon rivers, St. Michael bay aud Boring strait
 It is now an ascertained fact that he returned from Skagway to Vancouver, and alone, from the Pacific coast through British Columbia, via Hazleton and Manson Mines, reached the Peace river and Fort St. John. There he lived from October, 1905, till February, 1906, when he left, proceeding in q northern direc- ton toward Fort Nelson.
 It is likely that he succeeded last spring and summer in following the Lizard and Mackenzie rivers, then in reaching the Yukon and Alaska territo- ries. Possibly hunters, trappers, min CTS or Eskimos nave met him.
 In 1906 Rev. MT. Got had the appear ance of a man about 10 years old. He had beard and his black hair was in- terspersed with white or gray. He trav- eled as an Italian and was very sparing of his words, fearing he would be pre- vented from proceeding on his journey. In his possession would probably be found several letters from home, which might prove useful clue to his identity. His whole behavior may appear some what ecentric--though the surgeon of Fort St. John stated he was not crazy and we should he very much obliged to any person for dctaining him and in the meantime communicating with us. Even II he is only heard oi having passed such or such place we would be obliged io you for letting us know. All necessary expenses to our charges.
