PROHIBITION A
 GREAT SUCCESS

William Allen White, ting in a reform journal of the success of the prohibition law in Kansas, says:
 "I have grown from childhood to the age of forty-two years in Kan sas and l probably am greatly preju diced in favor of prohibition. As a young man. from the time l was 16 years old until l was 22, l never saw an open saloon. I know of thou sands of children in the state who never saw saloon. The law was adopted in 1881 and has been enforc- ed ever since. Of course it is en- forced better now than it ever was before because generation has grown up under the law that knows nothing else The state never was as clean as it is today.
 We have never had any trouble at all to keep our town and county and state going. The town of Emporia is paved from one end to the other with brick and asphalt, without dollars worth of liquor money in it. The revenues of Kan sas for nearly thirty years have been raised without liquor licenses and we have built the best system of schools in the world Taxes are low because the average working man owns his own home and thus taxes

LARGE POPULATION
 OF ESK|MOS

NOME,-That nearly 5.O00 natives live on Seward Peninsula is fact gleaned from the reports obtained by Dr. Neuman government health of ficer from the various officials with. in his province.
 Dr. Neuman. when questioned re gently. stated that he is now al most ready to send to the govern. ment report compiled from the Eskimos. These statistical facts are comprehensive and contain some In teresting facts hitherto unknown The exhaustive examinations made of the natives and their physical conditions have resulted in showing that some old ideas concerning them must he discarded.
 It has been found that the white people first brought tuberculosis among the Eskimos, and that the disease did not exist and does not now exist among them except in places where they come in contact with the whites. In most cases the coughing so prevalent among tho natives is due to bronchitis and not to tuberculosis as most people be lieve.
 
 Among the fatalities a large per centage is caused by ptomaine pois oning. Ten deaths occurred here from this cause alone last winter It is due to the custom of hurying the heads of salmon In the ground for several months before using the heads for food. It Is a favorte fish with them. and Dr. Neuman accounts for this peculiar fact by saving that it is somewhat similar to the white mans liking for limburger cheese.
 The sight of the native diminishes more quickly after the age of 9, than it does among the people Of any other race.
 Four thousand five hundred ma tives is the number now under the supervision of the bureau of edu- cation on this peninsula.

UPTON WOULD GIVE UP
 HIS RICHES TO LIFT CUP

LONDON. Oct. l2- Sir Thomas Caronia for New York with the frankly aVowed hope Of getting an opportunity to challenge again for the Americas cup-under up-to-date conditions.
 II feel" he said recently. as happy as schoolboy going home for holiday"
 There is nothing farfetched in this comparison of himself to a schoolboy and to America to home, The perpetual boyishness of his nature solves the riddle of his many challenges and is the inspiring cause of his return to America.
 As an English baronet he is noi at all anxious to deprive America of the well won trophy or to brin" 10 this side of the Atlantic what properly belongs to the other, but he does think with mischievous youthful glee that it would be fine fun if the blue ribbon of the sea could he won by a man who when a small boy worked aboard a Missis- sippi river steamer, and who gainc by manual labor in America the ex- perience which made him one of the greatest merchants in Europe
 Underlying this touch of hc sentiment there exists an amazing tenacity and determination. No statesman. soldier. sailor or scientist in Europe or America is more wrar- ped up in the single purpose ot one idea. His is ito lift that cup Lipton said recently:
 T would willingly sacrifice every penny have and start life over again"

M|KKE[SEN HAS
 BEEN RESCUED

NOME According to information plorer Mikkelsen, known to many here in Nome. has been rescued from Greenland. after being away for over two years and not word heard from him nor his crew during that time
 According to the information at hand a whaler cruising along the east coast of Greenland this summer, noticed tall flag pole, and went ashore to investigate They reached the flag pole. and discovered the in scription 1912" upon the mast. This excited their curiosity, and they commenced to look about for some sign of habitation. and discovered buried in the snow hut
 Tapping upon the door it was flung open and the crew from the whaler found themselves looking into the muzzle of two rifles held by what they believed to be two wild men. Inquiry found the men to be the long lost Elmar Mikklesen, the explorer. and his engineer lverson, who had started North on an expedition of the east coast of Greenland in 1909 to try and findthe records and body of Myluis Erichsen. who was lost near Denmark fjord, while returning to his ship.
 The story related by Mikkelsen and his engineer Iverson. is filled with hardships the two explorers had put up with. for the men found no records. only one lone grave, and Mikkelsen was taken sick during the search and his companion Iver- son hauled him for one hundred miles on a sled to the coast and es- tablished the hut where they were found by the whalers.
 The men were taken to Denmark, and decorated with gold medals by the king. and the two men lost and believed to be dead are now the heroes of the hour back in their own country. Explorer Rasmussen is in the Greenland country at the pres ent time trying to find out some thing about the Mikkelsen expedition but he is crossing from the west coast over to the east coast of Green land.
