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 thlrty-nlne members Of
the group, small part OF the A-Ku-L-
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.
It 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 a white man, thus repre-
senting less contact with the white
race than the people OF any part Of
the explored Arctic.

sixty years ago. is now gameless and
deserted and the Copper Mine region
has not 10 per cent. of the number OF

began to use 1t. Although II was In

The handsome new hose wagon, built
for the Ellsworth fire department by
Elmer E. Rowe, has been delivered to the
city. 1t is credit to the builders, and as
product of an Ellsworth factory, a
credit to the city. The wagon is OF full
patform gear, with Timken roller bear
ing axles. The running gear is painted
red and the body brown, with gold strip
ing and lettering. On each side are the
words: senator Hale Hose Co., No. ="
and in front, under the drivers seat :
ellsworth" On each side of the seat
are the letters: "E. F. D." The rail and
trimmings are of nickel. The brake is of
the New York fire department pattern.
The wagon is built to replace the lighter
ones now in use at Ellsworth, which,
built for 800 feet OF hose, have been over
loaded with 800 feet, causing frequent re-
pairs. The new wagon has capacity of
1900 feet, but will carry only ], 900 feet as
the regular load. The equipment is practi-
cally the same as ON the old wagon-two
chemicals, tools, etc.
hief-Engineer Goodwin has personally
inspected the building of the wagon, and
expresses himself as pleased with the
workmanship and the wagon.
