Handy Life Insurance. Policy


A curious festival takes place an
nually in the village Of Isobe, in the
southern province of japan. The festi-
val is called the Omita. and attracts
large crowds from neighboring dis
tricts. The young men, stripping of,
their clothing, take their positions in
a rice field, where they struggle vio-
lentlv with one another for possession
of a decorated bamboo pole. The man
who succeeds In pulling the pole down
promptly cuts 1t into pieces, which he
distributes among his less fortunate
competitors, retaining a portion for
himself. 1t is believed that IL any one
meets with a storm out at sea he can
easily save himself from a watery
grave by simply throwing portion OF
this pole into the sea. With a handy
life insurance policy. Of this kind to be
obtained at the price Of little effort
1t can be understood that the struggle
for the pole is distinctly strenuous

Skagway, Alaska.-Thomas Riggs,
chief of the United States boundary
survey party, which completed this
year the marking of the line dividing
Alaska and Canada, left here with
his party for Seattle.
I'VE left Seattle April 20 with 26
men and IS horses" said Mr.. Riggs.
AT Coffee creek on the Yukon river
we picked up AZ more horses. which
had wintered at the head Of the White
river, and May rs we landed at Ram
part house on the Porcupine river.
65 miles north Of the arctic circle,
where w. F. Reaburn, one Of our sur
veyors. had wintered with FIVE men
and had laid out a line of caches as
far as the boundary crossing of Old
Crow river, so the party could take
the field without delay.
u. d. Craig, chief Of the Canadian
party. with a similar outfit, had Joined
US at White Horse, l. T., and travelled
with Us to Rampant house, where sub
parties were sent out. The American
and Canadian parties did not work
from the same camps, but divided the
work The only exception was a party
OF six, headed by Mr.. Craig and my
self, who Jointly projected the line. By
using Old Crow river as base sup
plies were carried by water within Is

with the ceremony of breaking out
flags of the two countries. Mac Pope
Of Baltimore. big game hunter, took
moving picture of the scene. After
ward all of us took a plunge In the
Arctic. but we did not remain in long.
THE Arctic coast is entirely barren.
Twelve miles back of the foot hills
the mountains rise to an elevation OF
from 5000 to 1000 feet, but there is q
pass six miles east of the line. The
only fuel north Of the summit of the
Arctic range is found In a few scat
tered clumps Of willows and on the
beach driftwood from the Mackenzie
river. There is grass in plenty for
horses along the streams and in
patches on the tundra. / believe our
horses were the first to travel to the
Arctic coast. The Indians and Fa-
KINDS called them big dogs
Storms, especially in winter, are
severe. In the summer. when the wind
is not blowing or is of shore. the
mosquitoes and flies are almost unen
durable. They attacked our horses
which dared not go out to Craze
Game there was in plenty. The largest
herd seen consisted of about 5000
caribou. Herds of from 100 to CSC
were frequently met We also found
sheep in the mountains. A @. Mad

sance north from Rampant house, and
reports few indications OF gold north

Major Melton left his brother In

first the people were afraid to buy

that it probably was gotten dishonest

But in a week Elijah Melton had sold

Plan Big Tennis
Season At Hilltop

The executive committee Of the
Georgetown University Athletic Asso-
citation has Officially decided to award
the athletic insignia of &c. 7. T" to
the members of the Blue and Gray
tennis team, which will be brought I'M
der the supervision of the executive
board. This step of the Hilltop ath-
letic authorities marks the beginning
of the plan to boom minor sports on
the heights, and tennis will hereafter
be recognized as one of the established
branches of athletics at Georgetown.
The old courts at the Hilltop have
been leveled and RENTED, while new
courts have been constructed on land
adjoining the original equipment; an
extensive intercollegiate schedule has
been arranged and plans for cham
pionship tournament nave been praC-
tically completed. AS Manager Nc
CULLEN does not graduate from the
Hilltop school until 1913 he will in all
this spring, and the game should be
we'll established and popular when he
leaves the West End college, as a re-
cult of his clever handling of the man
agerial reins.
Although it has not been finally
agreed upon, it is practically under
stood that the Blue and Gray athletic
association will award tennis letters
only to those men who have played in
collegiate matches which resulted in
victory for the Hilltoppers.
Captain Brosseau, of the tennis team.
will issue a call for candidates for
places on the team next week. and 1t
is expected that large squad will turn
out for the initial tryout.
