ALASKA N THE POLE.

An army composed entirely of poor

hundreds of ambitious and sturdy

their comrades staggered, stumbled.
crawled onward, benumbed, hungry,
almost exhausted, persuaded to con-
tinue by the lure of gold, some of
them succumbed, others reached the
goal. Over a trail blazed by gruesome
heaps of bones other armies followed.
Reveling in the fruits of their priva-

camps soon forgot the days of hard

left behind. The steady stream of
gold dust that had its source in the
far north and emptied into the chan,

The search for the north pole has
levied its toll of death. The call of
the yellow metal likewise has exacted
its toll on the frozen plains of the

AMERICA SHOWS THE WAY..U

Helena Independent has recovered

caused by reading free trade dope
dished up by an irresponsible polit.
icai writer. The Independent was un-
der the influence of this dope to such
an extent that it was moved to re.
mark: "Score one for England and
free trade!" but in a late Issue it de.
clares that "America shows the way"
and describes the situation as follows:
at has been proven that a man in
the United States has working power
twice as great as the German or
~Frenchman; three times that of the
Austrian and five times that of the
Italian. America ranks first place to.

greatest competitors. A few years
