Fifty years ago Wednesday. Febru-

lumberman had gone across lake

been lost. Sewell Immediately start
sd to find them. The crew tried to
stop him but he was determined to
go and the biggest lumberman in the
camp volunteered to go with him.
When they were but a short way from
the camp the big lumberman realized
that he was freezing his face and told
MIR. Smith that 1t would be impossi-
BILE to go further. Mr.. Smith, though
suffering severely from the cold, yet
was determined to keep on. AT times
they had to lie down on their faces
in order to get their breath. They
were obliged to rub one others faces
to keep them from freezing. After a
most severe struggle they worked
their way across the lake and with a
great deal of difficulty found the two

SOME WALKER

H. NJ. Ayres has accepted Nigel
Jackson's challenge to walk him a
mile and the race will take place next
Saturday afternoon in connection
with the fleet sports.
Jackson claims that he was 100
yards ahead of Ayres in the race last
Sunday when two-thirds of the dis
lance had been covered and that had
he not been obliged to slow down on
account of cramps he would have de-
feated the winner.
Jackson was certainly in good form
on Sunday. His first mile was fast
one and he should be able to negoti.
ate the mile on Saturday in fine
shape
Ayres will put in a good mile or
two between now and the end of the
week and the struggle between the
two toe-and-heel men should be a
very interesting one.
