There Is considerable fishing through
the ice ON Lake Wantastiquet on the
Vermont side, although only a ccmpar.
atively small number Of fish are
caught. Occasionally, however, a seven
or eight-pounder is landed, and the
chance Of catching large one seems
TO lure the fishermen. I is hoped that
the season on the New Hampshire side
will soon be extended SO as to permit
fishing until March /.

Cheshire County Pomona grange met
with Wantastiquet grange Wednesday,
The morning session was well attended
and intensely interesting and helpful.
The question for discussion was The

shire. Il. II. Buffum OF Winchester and
Merrill Mason of Keene. George Il.
Newman of Keene, and other visiting
grangers, aside from members Of the
local grange, ably discussed this ques-
ton, and advanced many helpful ideas.
The Pomona master pronounced the
meeting one Of the most interesting
and profitable held for some time.
At the intermission dinner was
served to about 80, including local
members. In the afternoon the session
was open to the public, the address Of
welcome was given bv Master q. r.
Slate, which was responded to by ID. z.
Stearns Of Winchester. This was fol
lowed by recitation by Mrs. Ada IL.
Jennie Wellman of Keene; song by s.
J. Crowninshield Of this town; read
ing. Mrs. Imogen Flint of Marlboro;
and piano solo by Harold s. Martin.
Then the question, Along What Lines
Do State Departments of Agriculture

Farm and Farmeri was considered.
Sherman l.. Rice of Spofford opened
the question and was followed by many
Others who expressed their opinions.
Clifford Stearns. who is at home from

interesting talk relative to agricultural
teaching. The meeting was closed with

for there was keen distrust Of my
camera as well as of our guns and
other strange gear.
THE non-Eskimo appearance of the
Victoria Land people is to me an eX-
traordinary thing. ! have seen over
forty children and adults who are
known to have Eskimo mothers and
fathers of European blood and none
of these resembles a European So
much as do at least three men and
two women of this small group of
seventeen individuals. / should have
thought, a priori, that it would take
at least seventy-five per cent. of North
European blood against twenty-five
per cent Eskimo to produce a group
of seventeen people so European in
character, and yet these Eskimos told
me, as did the whalers, that further
north blond heads are more common
than here.
: These facts call for an explanation,
and several possibilities suggest them
selves, of which l set down the fol.
lowing;
81. The Eskimo physical type var
les considerably from Greenland to
Siberia. 1t may be that all these vart
ants are due partly to blood mixture
and that the earlier, purer type was
more European in character than We
have been thinking. These peculiarly
isolated Victoria Land people may
have been preserved from blood mix
ture by a hedge of their surrounding
countrymen, and may represent this
,, earlier, purer type.
2. Different environment may
have caused them to vary from thei
race in the direction of Europeanizin,
them.
g There may have been direct ad
mixture of European blood.

There are many things of great in
terest about the Victoria Land people,
/ but the one thing shall not omit here
is the matter of their appearance in
face and figure-their peculiar physi-
cal characters.
81 had been told by the whalers who
wintered north of Prince Albert Sound
the schooner Olga in 1866 and in
19O7-S-that the Victoria Landers diff
fered strinkingly in appearance from
the Eskimos of Mackenzie in Alaska
they were said to have fair complex
ion, light boards, brown hair in some
instances, and blue eyes in two OF
three cases noted.
81 can now corroborate these &C
counts (as relating to a group far from
those ever seen by whalers) in al
matters except that of the blue eyes
The general appearance of a group o.
these people is markedly differen
from any American aborigines l have
seen-they suggest, in fact, a grOul
of scandinavian or North European
! peasants.
/ Perhaps better than my character
n cation of them was that of my Alas

:. mos, they are fo'c's'le men
a Two of them had full chin beard

MAY Be new RACE OR DESCENDANTSOF FRANKLNS PARTY


Suppose all of Sir John Franklin's
party seeking the Northwest passage
in 1916 were not lost, contrary to the
belief held for sixty years?
Suppose it should be found that in
stead of perishing from cold and hun
ger on their way south from the ice
held ships a few miles north of King
William Land to the outposts of the
Hudson Bay Company a considerable
number of the 1O5 who deserted the
Erebus and Terror on April 26, 1S4S,
following the death of Sir John nearly
year before, found a small but
friendly tribe of Eskimos in Victoria
Land, short distance to the south
west?
Suppose after waiting long for the
rescue parties which searched for
them for many years, and which found
the graves of the dead but no signs
/ of the living, these survivors, fair
haired Englishman and Celts, should
have given up hope of seeing their ma
| tive land again and settled down to
become part and parcel of the rude
people who had saved them from Ger
tain death, marrying the maidens of
this hardy people, and raising up fam
lilies of their own?
The thing sounds more fantastical
than it really is, according to V. Ste
fansson, whO with DR. Rudolph NJ. An
derson, is heading one of the most
important and successful arctic expe-
ditions ever sent out by the American
Museum of Natural History or any
other American institution.
Eskimo Child and Mother.
Mr.. Stefansson himself has found a
strange new peOple in Victoria Land
we'll within the arctic circle, with few
of the physical characteristics of the
Eskimos, and far more closely r.
sembling Scandinavian or Celtic peas
ants. These people have light hair
brown boards, and some have beef
seen who even had Llue eyes, all char
acteristics wholly unknown among thu
whole-blooded Eskimos.
The explorer can account for thei
presence in Victoria Land on two the
cries only-as descendants of the SUI
vivors of Sir John Franklin's party
or, what is possibly even more inter
esting, as last remnant of that his
toric Icelandic colony which disal
peared as utterly from Greenland L
