Trappcrs Dispute Claim to Discovery
of Blonde EsI1imos.

Edmonton, Alta. Aug. 2S.-The Fort
Simpson trappers, G. DeSchaneault, and
Joseph and William Hudson, who have
just returned from a long journey to
the far north, deny the claim of Will
jhalmur Stefansson, the Arctic explor-
er, that he is the discoverer of the
tribe of blonde Eskimos. They declare
that in penetrating the wilds of the
far north with an Eskimo guide. they
heard stories of a tribe of strange ESki-
mos, and that guided to the camp OF
this tribe they found Eski!nos whittier
than the white men who have spent
years in the cold and winds of the far
north. They claim they spent three
weeks with the strange tribe. which
numbered 300 and obtained many valu-
able skins. When Stefansson arrived they
declared they already were there and
the members of the tribe then told of
other and larger tribes similar to them
selves on the shores of the Arctic The
trappers claim to have pushed on
northward for some distance, thus de-
laying their return to civilization when
they learned Stefansson had claimed
the discovery of the tribe.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
If Public Control of Utilities Fail,
- =, - SAYS Gov. Dunno.

Colorado Springs, Aug. 29.-The
feature of the session of the confer
ence of governors today was an adj
dress by Governor Edward F. Dunno
of Illinois, who. spoke on the growth
of public control of utilities.
His address was an extensive treatise
on the development of the plan in the
various states of the union, more par
ticularly since 1905, when the move
ment began to show itself in definite
form. THE tendency is plainly in the
direction of the control of public
utilities he said. The movement is
advancing by leaps and bounds and 1
believe that within a few years there
will not be state in the union which
has not a public utility commission,
empowered by law to control the SER
vice and the rates of the corporations
of the state
In conclusion he took up public
ownership and operation of utilities a S
the only alternative in the case of the
failure of public control. IF the con-
troll shall fail, as 1 believe it will
not he said. then the only alterna-
tive left is the public ownership and
operation of utilities"

Washington, Aug. 29.-The degree
of health maintained at the army ma
Mowers camps at Texas City and Cal
weston. Tex, where 1000 men have
been under tents for the last six
months, has convinced army medical
officers that there will be no repeti-
ton of the sick camps which
marked Spanish war days. In the six
months since the mobilization of the
troops, there has been no case of ty-
phoid fever among the men, all of
whom Travelled from one to three days
on trains to reach the camp. There
has been no case of smallpox and but
few cases of measles and mumpS. Ty-
phoid and smallpox have been kept
away by the use of vaccine and ma
laria has been almost unknown, due
to local drainage of the camp to de-
stroy breeding places for mosquitoes.
A constant warfare is waged against
flies in camps. Before the causes of
camp diseases were all understood it
was known that a moving army was
a healthy army compared to one under
canvas, but the results in the Texas
camps convinces officers that troops
can be kept in the same camp for
months with no danger of epidemic.
The results are considered the more
remarkable as the camps are pitched
on rather unfaVorable ground Like
favorable results, due to what an army
surgeon termed "hygienic competence
have been obtained among the 1,400
troops in China between Pekin and
Taku. There among the natives, san
itary measures are unknown and cpl
demic diseases prevail and all drinking
water is likely to contain impurities.

veteran, died last night in st. Jo-
seph's Hospital this city. He had
been a patient there since Decoration
Day. At that time the old soldier
was found sleeping in Cedar Lawn

lice a story of having tried to gain
admittance to the Soldiers Home,

no papers he was refused admission
to the Kearny home.
Captain Richard Drever, who is
temporarily in charge of the home,
said today the old mans story was
untrue. I'VE never refuse an appli-
cant because of the claim he is with
out papers. At the present time we
have several old men here who APP
piled for admission and who had no
papers to show they are veterans OF
the war. We are always willing to
take in an old man and keep him, at

willing customer, a young woman,
they were fined in the Nutley Police
Court today
1t seems from the stories told JUS

pretty 1S-year- old Bessie Searle a few
kisses and a few hugs, in the kitchen
of her home on Franklin avenue, Nut

the house and notified the police.
When a policeman arrived, the two
men, satisfied, had made their de-

along the road a short distance
away. whistling a dreamy tune,
which was rudely shattered by the
heavy hand of the law.

pie raincoats. Business was poor
when they arrived at the Searle
home and knocked on the rear door.
The daughter of the house answered
the knock.
