BLONDE EskIMOs OF The FROZEN NORTH
Or. Rudolph m. Anderson Visited
Them-Have No Hopes or Amb'
tion-Just Simply Exist.

San Francisco, Cal-Corroborating
| in every essential detail the story OF
the discovery Of the blonde ESKIMO
tribes, recently announced by Nllhjal
mer Steffansson, Dr. Rudolph Martin
Anderson of Forrest City, Iowa, his
partner in Arctic explorations, arrived
Saturday on the whaler BelVldere
after four and half years in the fa1
north. He was accompanied by Pro-
fessor E. Dekoven LeffingWell OF Pasa
Sua, Cal, who spent three and hall
years making observations in the vi.
cinity of the Flaxman islands and sur
veying and mapping about $50 miles
of the coast line.
1T was ever on tha Cana Re1lsy
territory on the mainland and on
Prince Albert sound, across and to the
south of the Dolphin and Union straits,
that Steffensson in the summer OF
1910 first got in touch with the blonde
aborigines," said DR.. Anderson.
'In December of the same year we
started out and were thirty-one days
crossing 300 miles of the worst strip
of land we ever encountered. We
made the last seventy-five miles over
the ice before we found these strange
people.
First we came on a deserted snow
village and finally an inhabited vii
lage with population of forty.
MANY of the men had light nous
taches and boards and light hair GOV,
cred the heads. The eyebrows of the
men were light and their eyes were
light. Some of the women-not all
had fair skin and rosy cheeks; but
their hair was dark, oily and tangled.
Their features bore the characteris-
tics of the Caucasian race. They do
not know where they came from and
no one else knows.
"They have no records, no history,
no legends, and their language, pc
culiar tribal dialect, was extremely
hard to detect. AS to their origin,
there can only be guess. They may
be survivors of the expedition Of Sir
John Franklin, lost to the east of their
present locality in 1910 or thereabouts,
or they may be descendants of the
inhabitants of an early Icelandic col
ony.
Among these people there is no
hope, no thought worth registering, no
ideals, nor particular purpose in life.
For six months of the year they sim
ply exist, living in snow houses and
eating seal meat. In the summer they
move to the mainland and subsist. on
caribou meat. They have no religion
and no marriage ceremony, although
there is fidelity as a tribal character
istic. Through other Eskimos they do
some trading, but precious little.
"Steffansson had seen about $50
more of these people in his summer
trip. He found conditions about the
same asI have observed. The people
we discovered are extremely primi-
tive, having no modern implements of
any kind and no modern weapons.
"They hunt with crude bow and
arrow and spear fish through holes in
the ice They cook their food. In
kindling fire they strike two crystal
lized stones together"

All the members OF the lWMedAAte
family were witnesses to the final
scene. In addition to Mrs. Sherman
there was in the death chamber their
three sons, Sheriff., Richard o. and
Thomas M. Sherman, and their respec-
| tive wives; R. M. and Sanford Sher-
man, brothers of Mr.. Sherman, and
Mrs. L. B. Moore and Mrs. H. j. Cook
ingham, sisters of Mrs. Sherman.
Soon after Mr.. Sherman's death DR..
| Fayette H. Peck, the attending ply
sician, issued the following statement:
"The vice president died at 9:42
p. m. without regaining consciousness
for a moment. He was perfectly quiet.
He died in the presence of his wife,
her brother and sister, his two broth
ers and his three sons and their wives.
He had been entirely unconscious
since Z o'clock, when he had a period
| Of partial consciousness lasting for
about fifteen minutes. He died in a
uremic coma, as result OF Br1ghts
| disease, heart disease and arterioscle-
rosis."
DR.. Peck remained at the Sherman
| home for time and notified several
| of Mr.. Sherman's friends by telephone
that the end had come.
The announcement of the vice pres
| ident's death spread quickly through
| the city.
James Schoolcraft Sherman was one
of Fate's favored children. His ca
| reer began in comparatively luxury,
passed to it's meridian through the
wellsustained flight of enduring pop
| ularity and ended in the loftiest office
but one within the gift Of the Ameri-
can people.
AS the scope of mems public lives
| widen, their prominent characteristics
become the common knowledge of the
people they serve, and their eccen-
tricities of habit or action many times
form the popular perspective through
which the public views and knows
| them. So it was with Mr.. Sherman.
He was known throughout the nation
not so intimately as James School
| craft Sherman, but rather as Sunny
Jim Sherman, the smiling vice presi-
dent of the United States. His per-
petuaI smile became celebrated long
| before Mr.. Sherman was selected as
the running mate of William Howard
Taft by the Chicago convention in
1908. 1t came into public life with
him and accompanied him throughout
his steady ascent up the congression-
al ladder and into the senate of the
| senate's president. His friends say
the smile was Sherman, or, more ap-
propriately, that Sherman was the
smile, in that the smile reflected the
happy, carefree, generous inner life
| which, his friends declare, was the
crowning glory of his career.
James Schoolcraft Sherman was
born in Utica, N. Y, October "a, 1855.
He was graduated from Hamilton Col
| lege in 1878 and was admitted to the
| bar two years later, beginning the
| practice of law in his home town. He
| formed partnership with his brother.
| in-law, Henry J. Cookingham, a rela.
ton which continued until January /,
1907.
Mr.. Sherman was mayor of Utica in
1884, chairman of the republican State
convention in 1895 and 1900, and from
| 1887 until his election to the vice
presidency he served in the national
/ house of representatives.

END COMES TO ERIcAN
STATESMAN AFTER SEVERAL
WEEKS OF ILLNESS.
HIS CAREER BEGAN IN LUXURY
Was Popular Through Life and Gained
Lofty Position With Ease-His
Family Was With Him
When End Came.


Utica, N. Y.-After long illness
Vice President James Schoolcraft
Sherman died at his home Wednesday
night Of uremic poison caused by
Bright's disease.
He had been sinking since early
morning and it was realized that death
was question only of a few hours.
There was slight relief shortly after
Z o'clock, caused by. an apparent i'm
provement in the kidneys, but it did
not prove real or lasting and at best
gave only temporary hope.
At 9 o'clock the patients tempera-
ture rose to 106. From that time his
condition rapidly became worse until
the end.
Mr.. Sherman was unconscious when
the end came, and had been in thai
condition for hours.

PROUD AND GLAD"
Because Mother Looked So Well
After Quitting Coffee.

An Ohio woman was almost dis
tracted with coffee dyspepsia and
heart trouble.
Like thousands Of others, the drug
-cafeine-in coffee was slowly but
steadily undermining her nervous
system and interfering with natural
digestion Of food. (Tea is just as in
furious as coffee because it contains
caffeine, the poisonous drug found in
coffee.)
For 80 years.. she writes, Il have

NO RESIDENCE REQUIRED.
New Ruling Of State Land Board Will
Benefit Settlers.

The Today Carey act residence
clause was sent into obscurity by the
state land board at it's meeting this
afternoon and in lieu thereof there was
substituted the provision that final
proof can be made when residence is
established. Under this provision,
which is but the incorporation into the
rule Of the federal law, residence may
be made on Carey act entry at any
time prior to making final proof, pro-
viding it is done within the three-year
limit. In other words, it will be pos
sible to reside the entire three years
on the land after making entry and
following the delivery of water, or a
settler may reside on the land but Il
few hours before final proof. The en-
tryman or woman must, however. have
habitable and somewhat substantial
house upon the land entered, for it is
not believed that residence can be es-
tablished without house, and the land
board decided to keep this provision in
the rules. The board went on record
as favoring the Borah three-year
homestead bill.
S. H. Hays appeared before the
board with regard to the question OF
| giving notice to settlers that water is
| to be ready to be delivered from the
pumping plants on the Jerome project
and was granted permission to send
out these notices prior to the official
notice that water was ready for de-
| livery. He raised the question of the
| elimination of the ten-day clause from
the rules, on the grounds that the
! federal authorities at Washington
might take the rule as an infringement
upon their authority. The suggestion
was considered a good one by the mem
