very finest in the land,
It's got a thousand pipes or more, its

And when we sit on cushioned pews

INDUSTRY is LOOKING UP

preston.

The fluctuations Of the whaling in
dustry In Newfoundland are most
amazing. A little over ten years ago.
on June 25, 1908. the first whale was
killed by modern methods in these
waters. and yet within five years the
fiotilla grew from one steamer to 18.
and the annual kill from 43 to 1.478.
The result was slump. after condi-
tions akin to those of the South a
Bubble" or the Dutch Bulb mania

dustry went to pieces in single year
or two, nearly all the steamers were
sold OF. and $1.5Qp.O0 was hopelessly
lost.

operation of these for two years and
never killed whale at all, says P. j.
Magrath in Canada. Another lost a
similar amount and had a catch of but
four fish; third caught only eight.
when 1t required at least sixty to
make the venture pay, and 1t had paid
so well year or two before that divi-
dends of 35 to SO per cent. were real

again, and the few concerns that have
survived stand to make a substantial
profit
Scientists tell us that the whale is
not fish. but an aquatic mammal that
can remain below water only a brief
period. as 1t must relieve its respira-
tory organs. 1t suckles its young as
do the beasts of the field; 1t is warm

whale family consists of two groups
the toothed whales and the bone
whales. OF the former are the cache

spermaceti or cetaceum, and the orca

The bowhead inhabits the arctics

and frigid waters Of the globe have
been hunted remorselessly by whale
men for centuries. but the rorouals
which are much speedier, have enjoyed
comparative immunity. Some thirty
years ago the Norwegians utilized
steam vessels for hunting them.

There is one canyon where the su-
perstitious guides will not go, saying
that those who venture there never
come back. 1t is said to be inhabited
by wild tribe of Seras, who live in
burrows like animals. They are per-
fectly nude. and are accredited with
being cannibals. One authentic record
which proves that this tribe really in
habits the valley came to our knowl-
edge. A Spanish gentleman with his
young son were making the trip to a
small town called Alamos. Losing
their way during heavy storm, they
found themselves in this valley. While
returning to the proper course they
saw numbers of nude Indians of small
stature, and very dark. emerge from
the cave-like dwellings. However.
they appeared to be very much fright
ened at the sight of carriage. some
thing which undoubtedly they had
never seen before. and quickly disap-
peared from view. giving no evidence
of their supposed bloodthirsty charac-
ter. and showing every sign of fear
at the apparition of strangers in their
territory.

For long time children's lies have
been made an object of study, and by

brief accounts of things that were
actually seen. It is such interesting
work and we get such funny stories
sometimes. You know lie is not
just plain lie. There are lies and
lies.
For instance, there are the lies that
are nothing more than the workings
of fancy. A little boy comes home
and tells his mother that he heard his
kitty talking to his neighbor's kitty.
"A child hears fairy story and will
go on with it. There are any number
of these childish fancies, which are

"The mother who does not recognize
this and who spanks her little boy
for saying that his kitty talked to

Then there is another kind Of lie
that is very interesting-when the
child tells you what he would like to
have happen instead of what really
happens. For instance. you ask:
What occurred out on the walk?'
And he will tell you that kitten
was playing with ball.
Then you say and? as II asking

you about another kitten. II you

BUT FIND NO EVIDENCE OF

HIS MAPS DISCRED|TED
ONE MONTHS TIME WAS Ex.
PENDED IN AScENT-HEIGHT
OF PEAK 2o,4e4 FEET.

Fairbanks, Alaska.-The Fairbanks
expedition to Mount Mckinley. the
tallest peak in North America, reached
the summit April 8, after a climb of
one month from the base. No traces
of DR.. Frederick A. Cooks alleged as
cent were found.
Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedi-
tion, arrived here Tuesday night. His
companions were Daniel Patterson,
w. R. Taylor and Charles McGonigle,
and all reached the top of the great
mountain.
The expedition which left Fair
banks December Is, while the contro-
versy over DR.. Cooks disputed ascent
was still raging, was financed by Gus
Peterson and William McPhee of this
city. The plan was to go into camp
on the mountain as high as possible,
and probably about the middle of May
made a dash for the summit. The
obstacles encountered were not so
great as had been predicted. Four
| camps were established during the as
cent and trail was blazed all the
way to the crest. Up to 1900 feet
the climbing did not present unusual
difficulties. For the next 1000 feet
the way led over steep ice field
which at first seemed to forbid fur
ther progress, but through which upon
exploration, it was found possible to
locate path.
The final dash to the top was made
from the 1G,O00-foot camp.
| Mount Mckinley terminates in twin
peaks of equal height. one somewhat
rounded and covered with snow, the
other composed of bare and wind
swept rocks. On the rock peak the
Fairbanks climbers placed an Ameri-
can flag in monument of stones.

with DR.. Cooks maps and book, en-
deavored to follow his alleged route.
his story of an ascent.
The expedition is made up of
Thomas Lloyd, Robert Horn, Harry
Karsten and Charles McGonigle, all
experienced mountaineers.
Word was recently received from
the party that it had reached an ele-
vation of $4,000 feet without great diff
ficulty. At that point the men were
confronted by an almost perpendicu-
lar wall of ice that stretched more
than 1000 feet to the summit. The
men stated that they found gap in
the ice wall and believed they would
be able to reach the top.
The expedition was equipped with a
dog team and supplies and with the
latter they established base at the
foot of the mountain. They planned to
make the dash for the summit at the
break of winter in May. The men,
bers of the party agreed to forfeit
$4,000 II none of them reached the
summit.
One of their objects was to verify
or disprove to their own satisfaction
the claim of DR.. Frederick A. Cook
that he reached the summit in the
fall of 1906.
DR.. Cook claimed to have ascended
Mount Mckinley and to have reached
the summit September 10th. He said
he left at the top of the mountain
proofs that he had been there.
