One Of the unusual things about the
princess debut is that though she has

In order to supply the demand for pho

thousands OF masses Of ice which must be
accounted for in some other way than that
II came from the sea
The underground ice that is due to sand
covered snowbanks either inland or along
the beach, lie so Insignificant that 1t merits
little attention. 1t can be easily distin-
Euished from the great areas Of other ice
formed in various other ways.
North flowing streams thaw at theii
sources first, the ice rushing down and
forming jams in the lower valleys. The
Red River of the North and the Colville
river in Alaska are good examples.
The Ice that Is crowded out of one of the
jams on the Minnesota farmers wheat field
melts and is unnoticed. But the ice thai
leaves the bed of the Arctic river and
piles up in the depressions in its flood plain
does not melt so readily.
II over It sand and debris be piled It will
never melt. Not until the meandering of
the stream has exposed It in its cutting
bank will It's presence ever be suspected.
This was Just the kind of ice that Mr..
s~tefansson found in a cut bank of the Col
Vile over a hundred miles from its mouth.
Movement of River Beds.
When rivers form loops the ice naturally
jams in the loop, especially when the loop
is frozen when the freshet comes down
upon 1t. The downcoming Ice is piled upon
the frozen river, which here freezes from
seven to eight feet ordinarily. Detritus is
lAlso deposited among and over the foreign
ice at the entrance to the loop.
Under his load the frozen river cannot
melt. But the part Of the loop not SO COW
cred ,inelts and forms a lake. an oxbow
,ol,.. o., tho accommodating river finding
the loop damned, soon makes q cutoff and
deserts its old bed.
Such an ice damned old oxbow loop with
its accompanying lake can be seen about
twenty miles inland from Wainwright, and
others on nearby streams, that meander
over the tundra. The ice in these old jams
is covered very deeply with clay, sand and
gravel.
There are instances, too, of whole river
beds being thus covered by sediment and
deserted by the river, which has cut a
channel beside the old one whose Ice It ex-
poses from time to time.
Sand blowing over ice may also preserve
Il from melting. There are also other ways
in which these underground Toe beds may
be formed. But the facts now brought to
light seem to indicate that In almost every
case the Ice along the shore can be traced
to the icepack that has plowed into the
land, while the inland Ice is simply due to
fragments of frozen rivers that ave been
covered up by sediment from upstream.
It is safe to say that some of this ice is
not very old, but it is certain that some
Of It has slept through unrecorded CEN
turtles.

ALASKA'S FUR CROP LIGHT
Traders Find Few Skins to Buy This
Year.
HUNTERS HAD BUT LITTLE LUIGI
white, Black and Red Foxes ScarceI
Than UsuaI-NO Good Lynx
Skins Secured and Little
EPmine.

WAINWRIGHT, Arctic Alaska, March
s.-By Reindeer Man Service.-Tha there
is going to be a very light fur catch all
through the north this year seems a GER
tainty. The best of the trapping season
is now over. and traders and trappers are
discouraged over the outlook.
White, black and red foxes are very
much scarcer than ever before. The beau
tiful silver fox is entirely missing this
year. The richly furred red fox of the
Arctic is also scarce, as is also the snowy
white fox, which was formerly abundant.
No good lynx skins seem to rave been
taken this year at all. Only a few poor
summer skins of this animal will be sent
to market from here this year.
A trader who deals exclusively in fox,
lynx and ermine skins has just reached
here from the Kotzebue country. In this
trip Of over 300 miles through what was
once the richest fur producing region of
the Arctic he was table to buy only eight
fox skins and very few ermine skins. He
visited every Eskimo village and every de-
tached igloo on his way, offering good
prices either in cash or barter.
Not only are the finer furs very scarce,
but the trade In polar bear skins. which
has until now been extensive, rs also
threatened. Very few of these great ami
mals have been killed this year on the
ice, where they are usually found in great
numbers, coming to the land only TO rear
the young.
High Price for Polar Bear.
Even when plentiful large polar bear
skins, when properly dressed, have brought
over 500 In Boston and other eastern cities.
But these large skins, which sometimes
exceed eleven feet in length, are not to be
seen in the Arctic this year.
Nothing Is known at present concerning
the fur situation on the Siberian side owing
to dangerous ice conditions across Boring
strait, but the catch in Arctic Alaska
threatens to be less than half that Of last
year.
This fur shortage comes as the result Of
recent changes that have begun to make
themselves felt here. The discovery of
rich gold fields at Nome and at other
points on the Seward peninsula by bring
Ing in a relatively large fur buying pop
ulation greatly stimulated the trapping
Industry by giving the native trapper a
market in which money was plentiful and
prices some times abnormally high.
The Eskimos fitted themselves out with
the latest type Of rnes and the country
was covered with steel traps. These super
seding the crude affairs OF former times
soon produced quantities OF furs.
In 10000 tons Of furs were shipped out
of the Arctic to Nome and elsewhere. In
lsO0-O6 the fur industry evidently reached
its elimination. The phenomenal catch of
that year has never been approached.
On the contrary, there has been a rapid
decline in the number Of skins taken each
succeeding year. 1t seems as II the mod
ern methods which the white advance to-
ward the Arctic made possible and at the
same time imperative might eventually re-
suit in the practical extinction Of fur bear
ing creatures.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The holiday trade Is active and busi-
ness seems to be adjusting itself to an
era of high prices according to the
trade journals. Dun's says to-day.
That the people have money 10 spend
and are willing to spend 1t IS proved
by the active holiday trade reported at
most Of the large cities Of the country.
The year Is closing with the volume
OF business back to more than the
normal point and with confidence fully
restored. The prevailing high com
modify prices indeed produce consider
able irreguiarity. But the business
would seem to be adjusting itself to
the conviction that an era Of high
prices has set IN to continue for an
indefinite period. Railroad earnings
continue 10 expand, the gain for the
first week of December being 8 per
cent. and advances in rate of dividends
by two important systems are an event
Of the week. on the other hand the
railroads are still between the double
FIRE of popular effort by shippers to
secure lower rates and the demand Of
employees for higher wages. Bank ex-
changes outside New York are 1T per
cent. greater than in 1908 and ia per
cent. better than IN 1906. while the
liabilities Of defaulted firms as COM
pared with the total of clearlngs are
at nearly the low point
