spaces near prominent h~eadlands.
The scene of the real hunt changed
from the sea to the land. We had as
yet no caribou meat. The little auks
gathered In nets during the summeI
and elder duck bagged later disap-
peared fast when used as steady diet.
We must procure hare, ptarmigan and
reindeer, for we had not yet learned
to eat with a relish the fshy, hver-like
substance which Is characteristic OF
Mi marine ma llmals
Guns aud ammunition were distrfb-
uted. and when the winds were easy
enough to allow one TO venture out
every mar sought the neighboring
hills. Francke also took his exercise
with a gun on his shoulder.
The combined results gave a long
line of ptarmigan. two reindeer and
sixteen hares. AS snow covered the
upper slopes the game was forced
down near The sea. where we could
still hope to hunt in the feeble light of
the early part of the night.
t No Anxiety FOR winter
With a larder fairly stocked and
good prospects for other tasty meats
we were spared the usual anxiety of
a winter without winter supplies, and
Francke was just the man to use this
game to good effect, for he had a
way of preparing our primitive pro-
visions that made our dinners seem
equal to a Holland House spread.
In the middle of october foxskins
were prime, and then new steel traps
were distributed and set near the
many caches. BY this time the Eski-
mos had all abandoned their sealskin
tents and were snugly settled In their
winter igloos. The ground was COW
cred with snow. and the sea was near
ly frozen over everywhere.
Everybody was busy preparing Tor
the coming cold and night. The tenn
perature was about 20 degrees below
zero. Severe storms were becoming
less frequent, and the air, though
colder. was less humid and less disa-
greeable. An ice fort was formed, n
the winter sledging was begun by
short excursions to bait the fox traps
and gather the foxes.
All these pursuits, with the work OF
building and repairing sleds, making
dog harness and shaping new winter
clothing. kept up a lively interest
while the great crust which was 70

many months thickened and closed.
Last Glimpse Of the Dying Day.
During the last days of brief sun
shine the weather cleared, and at
noon on Oct. "a everybody sought the
freedom of the open for a last glimpse
of the dying day. There was a harm
of color and glitter, but no n seem
ed quite happy as the sun sank under
he southern ice, for it was not to rise
again for 118 days.
The Eskimos took this as a signal to
enter a trance of sadness. In which

the Young Turks did so believe, they

while they had won over large pOr-

CARLSON WILL Be
ARRESTED AGAIN
Convicted of Crime of Passing Worth
less Checks In Pasco, Is Wanted
On Similar Charge In
Spokane.

John Carlson, who was arrested in
Pasco last fall charged with passing a
worthless check on a business man,
and subsequently convicted and sem
fenced to three months in the county
jail, is to be arrested as soon as his
term has expired, which will be some
time the fore part of next week, the
new charge being forgery committed
in Spokane prior to the Pasco offense.
Carlson was brought to the county
jail here for safe keeping, and is to be
released within a few days. Word was
received here today, however, from
Spokane, to the effect that a warrant
has been issued for his arrest on the
forgery charge and would be served
as soon as he was released. The forg-
cry consisted of attaching the name
of E. w. Olson, an employe of the
Washington Printing & Book Manu-
featuring company, to a check for $25
drawn on the Third National bank.
The paper was passed on L. r. Dolby,
a clothing merchant of the Falls City,
who has issued the warrant for Carl
sons re-arreSt.

DUG DITCH ACROSS
THE C0UNY ROAD
Canadian Did Not Understand Laws
of United States and Distracted
Thoroughfares in His Own
Fashion.

Paying no attention, it is said to the
board of county commissioners and
not thinking of asking them for per-
mission, George Hines, proprietor of a
new feed mill which has been built
about five miles below the city on the
Wallula road, has been busily engaged
for the past several days, digging a
ditch across the main county road for
the purpose of conveying water to his
mill.
Only yesterday was this discovered
and when Commissioner Fred Green
vile paid visit to the place he found
that no time had been lost by Hines,
but that he had a flume across the
road that was rapidly assuming large
proportions. When questioned by Com
missioner Greenville, Hines remarked
that he was not obstructng traffic as
he had constructed a fine bridge. Upon
investigating the matter, it is said
that it was discovered that T. small
plank affair had been thrown across
the flume, resting upon 4 by A stringers
that were not capable of Withstanding
a heavy load.
The f1ume. it is said, has been con-
structed in such a place that in case
high water should arise, the whole
flow of Mill creek would run into the
ditch and would endanger the entire
valley in that vicinity.
Mr. Hines is but recently returned
from Canada and it is thought that
his unfamiliarity with laws pertaining
to digging up the county thoroughfare
for his own purposes. is his excuse for
doing so. but in the future he was in
formed all such cases must come
before the commissioners.

1t is a very good plan for the bust
ness woman when she comes home at
night to devote a few minutes-if pos
sible before she eats-to complete re-
taxation.
l know a girl who works hard as a
stenographer all day and yet comes
home at night five nights out of the
week, sits down at her typewriter and
works hard all of the evening.
All her friends have cheerfully
prophesied that she would break down,
but up to the present date she has not.
She observes all the laws of health
most carefully, has her cold bath of
morning. eight or nine hours sleep
every night and very regular meals,
and never fails each day to devote a
few minutes to complete relaxation. It
is to this last fact that she herself
especially credits her ability to disap-
point her friends kind predictions.
When she comes home at night, in
stead of picking up a book and read
ing story while she waits for supper
to be ready, she goes straight to her
room, 1oosens her clothing, throws ner-
self upon her couch and lies there fiat
on her back. with every muscle, as
far as she is capable of having it,
completely relaxed. She even says
that in those few minutes she relaxes
her brain and does not think.

Relaxation is a fine art and requires
