BLOND EsKIM0s LONG KNOWN
Old Revenue Cutter Captain Says
Stories Of Burning Mountain
Were Laughed At.

Tacoma. Wash.-Captain Francis
Tuttle Of the revenue service, retired,
says that for thirty years or more
stories OF Stefansson's blond Eskimo
tribe have been told by old-time
whalers who were sometimes driven
into Bankland by Ice foes. Whalers
were laughed at when they described
Eskimos with red hair seen In the far
north.
In the early nineties Captain Tut
tie. commanding the cutter Bear. met
the whaler Ballene. commanded by
Captain Bert Williams, now residing
at rondale. Williams told Tuttle OF
strange tribe in Bankland which
came out to the whaler. Some of
them went aboard. Williams could
not understand their language and
learned little about them. From his
winter quarters Williams could see
a burning mountain of coal. The na-
tives led him to a place where he OBJ
tanned enough coal to supply his YES
sci that winter. BY signs they made
Williams understand that the great
mountain had been burning for 200
years. Captain Tuttle believes VIII
liams is the man Of whom one tribe
told Stefansson.
During his thirty years OF service
on the Alaskan coast Captain Tuttle
heard OF blond tribes from other
whalers. but the stories were general
ly given little credence.

prospective purchasers among whom

The indications are that the sale,
which is probably the last Of its kind
that will be held here, win be more
largely attended than were any Of
those previously held. Surveyors and
locaters have been going over the
lands gathering information regarding
each tract and from these authorities
comes the report that about onehalf
Of the entire area can be cultivated
and that virtually all of the remainder
is suitable for grazing purposes and
will be sought after eagerly, particu.
larly by persons who have homesteads
and who are anxious to get some of IL

Under government regulations, any
purchaser cannot take more than $40
acres. Persons who secured lands at
any of the former sales may buy more
at this auction until their total acre

Montana is still very young in the

agricultural development of this state
is in its infancy, together with the fur.
ther fact that in Montana can be found

In the Disaster.

London.-The terrible experience of
party of shipwrecked sailors who
spent a week in an open boat in the
icy neighborhood of Cape Horn are
described in a letter which has just
been received from Port Stanley,
Falkland islands. The men were &C.
companied by the captains wife and
