The inhabitants of these villages en-.
gagged in whaling, judging from the

Cape Boxley, last May, the explorers
came upon a village Of about forty
snow houses, which apparently had
recently been abandoned. Sled trails
led north toward Victoria Land, which
is visible across the strait eyervwhera

"As the explorers of the last cen.

in the middle of Dolphin and Union
Strait. One of the members of the
expedition then approached the newly
discovered people and after a narrow
escape of being knitted by one of the
party, friendly negotiations were un-
dertaken.
There were thirty-nine members of
the group, a small part of the A-Ku-Ii-
A-Kat-Tag-Mi-Ut. According to the ex-
plorers neither they nor their fore
fathers had ever seen a white man.
The winter home of these people is in
the middle of the strait north of Cape
Bexley, but in the summer they hunt
inland south of the cape.
1t was discovered by members OF
the expedition that of the one thous-
and Eskimos on the two sides of Coro-
nation Gulf and Dolphin and Union
straits, not more than twenty men had
ever seen white man, thus repre-
senting less contact with the white
race than the people of any part of
the explored Arctic.
The Cape Parry region, full of game
sixty years ago. is now gameless and
deserted and the Copper Mine region
has not 10 per cent. of the number of
caribou of Richardson's time. 1t is
estimated that in ten years it will be
practically impossible to live on the

Stockholm, July 1.-The finals in
six events were completed at the
Olympic today and of the 80 points
the United States scored 10, England
6, Germany 6, Canada 3, Australia, 8,
Finland and France 2.
The United States and Germany had
the honor of making a clean sweep in
the weight-putting and 200 meters
swimming, back stroke, respectively.
England won the greatest race of the
Olympic so far-the 1500-meter run,
in which the Oxonian, jackson, broke
the record by more than six seconds
Finland won the 5000 meters in a
splendid struggle against France,
while the Canadian, Hodgson, brought
glory to the Dominion by his victory
in the 1500-meter swimming contest,
in which he hung up three records.
Perhaps never before have there
been two such contests as the 5000
meter and 1500-meter runs on the
same day.
In the latter it was gruelling con
test from start to finish. Abel R
Kiviat and Norman S. Taber, tn,
American representatives, came int
the stretch together. Jackson all tn
way round the last lap went at ter
rife pace, passing the four men in or

Kiviat slightly in advance ten yard

FLOOD HITS DENVER
Wall Of Water Gets Two Lives and
Does Immense Damage.
Notorious Cherry Creek Goes On
Rampage, Flooding City and
Stopping All Trains.

Denver, Colo. A wall of water 25
feet high, carrying death and destruc-
tion with it. swept down Cherry creek
here Sunday night, ripped open the
concrete walls and in a twinkling had
marooned hundreds of persons. Two
persons are known to have been
drowned.
Mayor Arnold stated that the prop
erty damage would reach at least ST.
600, 900.
Anything like an accurate esti-
mate of the damage would be out of
the question for several days." said
Mayor Arnold. "Thus far we have
learned of only two deaths from
drowning, bat there may be several
more"
An infant boy was drowned when
his mother, terror-stricken and up to
her waist in water, dropped the babe
and the little boy was swept down the
stream.
The second known death was that OF
8-year-old Christopher Jensen. The
boy was standing on the bank watch
ing the rushing water when the bank
caved in and he was carried to his
death. At Longmont, south of Den
yer. and at Cripple creek and Victor
northwest of here, the rain fell heav
lily, blocking traffic.
Word of the Cherry creek flood was
conveyed to the city hall by telephone
shortly before the crest reached Den
yer, and not a moment was lost il
warning those within reach. Thu
fact that the message was received
} early was the means of saving per
haps hundreds of lives.
