DAMAGE BY WIND

That wind which came up last Thurs day afternoon and continued until the next morning was the worst in the recol- lection of the "oldsst inhabitant." At the sswmill lum Der was blown from the piles and thrown promiseuously around the yard; two joints were carried away from the smoke stack of the electric light plant an5 the big woodshed was slmost divested of it's roof; the steamer Antelope was carried away from her anchorage and blown high and dry on the beach; the spruce tree which stood in the garden at the custom house was blown down. thS landscape. as viewed from the residence of b. N. Coulter, wac changed by the obliteration of small structure which had stood overhanging the beach fof many years; the heavy sea carried away the approach to the floating dock, leaving that convenience in a useless condition. Other minor damage was done, but as everybody es. capped reing injured by flying boards and shingles they considered them selves fortunate.

TALENT DISCOVERED
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste it's sweetness on the desert air


 During the past week there has been discovered in Wrsngell e man whose artistic ability is almost phenomenal. The work which brought this remarka- ble talent into prominence was large sign, painted with a making brush on a long sheet of wrapping paper, and bear. ing the following legend:
 Buy your goods at the small store that sells at reasonable pricei. We di- Vide obt pfotts With oui customers in- stead of paying for advertising In the wrangell Khoeker."
 The above was displayed in the vin' dow of one of the small stores.
 It is reallya shame that such won- derfdl talent was not developed in youth, instead of being hidden, ss 1, were, "beneath bushsl," by being confined ih a sawmill or tailor shop ol selling cabbage and tar.
 And then just think how discoltaging it must be- after euch sn effort, to have good customers withdraw their patron. age, and also to get the hee:hes from passers by. It must be hesrt-rendingly hnmilisting.

As no foul play was indicated an inques. va, not deemed necessary. Erie PetefsoH was suppoSed to be about fifty years oi age, was 6 boat Builder by profession, and had no known enemiss.

 The approach to the floating dock, which has been such convenience to small craft for a year, went out during the high wind and heavy sea of last Thursday, and has not been repaired up to the time If this writing. However, we hear that heavy mooring cables are ordered, and that repairs will soon be
 made: It is intended to widen the ap- proach, which will be great improve: ment over the old one.

ish navy. Other navigators followed,
most of them with scant success, until
1873 when. Admiral Sir John Franklin,
then a lieutenant in the British navy,
made his first voyage toward the north
pole In this trip, the Franklin party
Travelled $500 miles by land and water,
and returned with a story of starvation,
murder and cannibalism which filed
the world with horror. Franklin made
his second voyage in 1925. For his
achievements he was knighted and
made lieutenant governor of Van Die
mems land, holding that position until
1S45, when he started on his third and
last voyage. He was then so years old.
The fate OF Franklin was for many
years one of the worlds great mys-
teries. Many of the later voyages were
for the double purpose of finding the
north pole. and discovering what had
become of Franklin and 1874 men who
went into the frozen north with him.
In six years following the disappear
ance of the Franklin party, there were
fifteen expeditions into the Arctic re-
gions, but it was not until 1854 that DR..
John Rae found traces of the missing
explorer For this information he was
paid $4,000 by the British government
Lady Franklin, believing that her hus-
band might still be alive. in 1857 sent
out the yacht Fox, under Sir Leopold
McClintock, who found conclusive evil
dences that Franklin and all of the
members of his party had persisted
McClintock's expedition was the for
tieth that had been sent to the north in
search of Franklin.
Captain Amundsen and his hardy fol-
lowers did not have the terrible expe-
riences of the earlier explorer. There
mos No cannihalisru and there were nC
murders. The faithful crew aided the
navigator and student in his great work
and when they sailed at last into the
waters of the Pacific ocean they Were
rewarded with the knowledge that they
had, with their leader, done some
thing that had never before beer
achieved by men.
