WHITE ESKIMO cREolTABLE.
Scientists Believe Explorer Stefanson
Will Prove Claims.

Scientists Believe Explorer Stefanson
viii Prove Claims.
Washington. ID. C.--The lost tribe
OF Europeans. the white Eskimos,
whom .Vilhjalmor Stefanson found in
the Arctic Circle, are old friends of
the scientists of the National museum.
DR.. Walter Hough. Of the ethnolog-
ical department Of the museum, one
of the greatest authorities on Ameri-
can aborigines. said he believed the
explorer would be able to substantiate
his statements.
There are three important features
of Stefanson's announcement, said
DIR. Hough. "He speaks of finding
many Eskimos with blue eyes, reddish
hair and light complications. II these
white Eskimos are descendants of the
lost colonists Of Greenland. it is in
teresting TO know that this type of
white man has retained Scandinavian
characteristics 30 long. The second
important phase Is that Stefanson
found the facial index was the same
as that Of Eskimo Scandinavia half
bloods Of Greenland, and not typically
Eskimo.
The third important thing Is the
fact that Stefanson has found tribe
that had practically no contact with
civilization fer centuries.

Seward, Alaska-The salmon pack

scarcely an exception, taken their
guaranteed pack for the season. In
this immediate vicinity the Alaska
Packing company at Kasiloff has the
largest pack. amounting to 10, 900
cases for the season. Alaska reds and
plnks were plentiful, but at the close

large run of humpbacks. which were
packed largely for the foreign trade.

Northwest Railroads Break Records
In Handling Grain.
Chicago - Results of the bountiful
crop to be moved this year by the rail-
roads are beginning to show them
selves In the statistics Of car move
ment. This Is brought out strikingIy
In the case OF the Chicago 4 North
western railway, which Is breaking all
previous records In this respect. The
Northwestern on September Is moved
on the lines Of Its system $4,000
freight cars and on the following day
almost duplicated the figures with a
total OF 81, 034 cars.
This. II Is said by the management
OF the road, exceeds greatly any record
heretofore established for single
days business and the performance Is
made possible by extensive terminal
improvements which have been in
stalled in the past two years, enabling
a more expeditions movement of cars.
Other roads are also meeting with
constant increase In the demand for
cars and all indications point to one
of the largest traffic years In the his
tory Of the railroads. One reports no
surplus cars whatever at the present
time, while another lays stress on the
fact that the demand for cars west Of
the Missouri river is becoming strong
and grain shipments have increased
percepitbly in the last week. bringing
business as a whole above last year
by considerable margin.

GROWING FEET COSTLY.
Heavers of women's Stockings Must
Put In New Machinery.

Washington, d. C.-Young women
of Washington and New York have
bigger feet than those of any other
cities in the world. Department
stores in Washington and New York
are being greatly inconvenience by
the change that is taking place in the
young women. 1t is said that these
stores have asked stocking spinners in
New England to add three larger sizes
to their measurements, not only in the
feet, but also in the calves. Stocking
statesmen who have come to Washing
ton lately contend that the young wo-
men here have abnormally large mus
cles in the lower parts of their limbs,
due to athletic endeavors. 1t will
cost manufacturers about $500, 900 for
new forms for the spinners and knit
ters
