PICTURES OF ESKIMO LIFE
Paul J. Raneys Lecture at the OPP
era House Thursday Evening

Many men have sailed past the
outlying settlements Of Greenland in
the vain hope OF conquering the inn
penetrable North and gain for them
selves wealth and fame. These men
met with opposition on every side.
The dark fur-clad Eskimos crawled
from their Ice-huts with scowling ia
ces at the intruders. The mountains
of ice frowned down on the intrud-
ers and few ever returned to tell
the tale. The wrecks Of their ships
and the trail OF their skulls alone
tell the sad, sad story.
However, one man who was not
seeking either fame or fortune but
merely on pleasure bent was Paul J..
Rainey, the world famous explorer
and huntsman, who formed an ex-
petition composed OF sixty men and
ventured into this frozen country for
the express purpose of taking pic
lures of the wonderful sights and
scenes to be found there. When he
set out on his journey from Brook
Ign on the yacht "Beothic" he took
with him a protographer,-not the or
binary kind,-but what we are now
so familiar with, known as THE
Moving Picture Man" Pictures We're
taken of the Eskimo, showing him in
his home with his family and his
dogs: than an encounter with a saw
age Polar bear; then fishing for the
seal and walrus, in fact everything
of interest that the party came
across was photographed so that
every reel of pictures is a positive
revelation In itself. The pictures al
so are not without beauty, as they
show the woods of Northern Canada
and the Ice fields OF the North. Bird
life in the far North, and one of the
most interesting subjects of all-Sal-
mon Fishing-is shown so dealstic-
ally, that one imagines he is right
on the ground.

this perilous trip, and as the pictures
are shown on the canvasses, he will,
