WILD HORSES ROAM BRITISH COLUMBIA

EDMONTON, Alta - More thaa 5000 wild horses in herds of from 30 to 100, are roaming over the hills and valleys in the interior af British Columbia. according to a report brought to Edmonton by James Bradley, who, with Gustav Richmond, a yetrean prosocctor and miner known throughout the bonan- ga gold camps, has just returned from an extended exploration tour of the coast province.
 Indians and white prospectors ard pack train freighters value these untamed animals more than high bred horses" said Mr. Bradley. "Thev are the progeny of horses turned loose on the trail by discouraged or dying men during the famous gold rush in the Cariboo country. Thous- ands of the veriest tenderfeet' stam- peded to the new fields in the early sixties. Most of them were incom- petent, and in fact utterly helpless In that wild country, and the horses either broke away or were aban- doned when the fortune hunters gave up on the long trail.
 "The horses made their feeding grounds in the vicinity of Barkers- vile for several years afterward and their offspring wandered north ward as the bands increased They made trails in the mountains and timbered country much after the fashion of buffalo in the early days and deer at present.
 The Indians and freighters work ing in the timbered districts catch them with snares such as are used for lynx. In most cases the animals are easily broken and they are better for the rough country than high-grada horses on account of their stamina and sureness of foot on the mountain trails. We lost horses from our train from time to tim; and replac- ed them with wild animals.

 POLAR REGIONS

ROME, ltaly-"The United States of America and AnJarctlca." That's what it may be in the distant fu- ture for, according to Maj. Gen. Adolphus Greeley. U. s. A. retired recent explorations of Prof MaWson at the South Pole tend to vindicate and corroborate American Antarctic explorers who, 70 years ago, found another continent at the bottom of the earth" Gen Greeley, himself was a famous Arctic explorer. and following Prof. MaWson's recent dis coVeries. he recently declared he would present to the polar congress here what he claims are irrefutable proofs that Americans led the world in discovering new land at the South Pole.
 The news sent north by Prof Mawson from his wireless station on Adelie Land, telling of the discovery of new lands," said Gen Greeley today, will be heartily welcomed by all persons interested in the thrill ing story of American expeditions and explorations. The dispatches in dicate the Australian explorers under Prof, Mawson have proved the con tinuity of the continent of Antarctiea through 80 degrees of longitude from Victoria Land of Ross to Adelie Land of Dr. Neyele and Termination Land of Wilkes. Mawson and his compan- ions have thus permanently placed upon the maps of the world the dis puted area of Antarctica. This conti- nent was discovered in 1921 by an American. sealing captain named Palmer, and more fully explored by another American, Charles Wilkes,

NIGHT LETTERS
 CAUSE SAVING

Many people there are in Fair banks and surrounding camps who have occasion to wire to the Out side, and all are "bluned" hv the high rate charged over the cable. For almost two years. however. although there are many who are not aware of the fact. the govern. ment telegraph lines have been ac- cepting Night Lcttcrgrams" where. by messages Of over fifty words can be sent to the States cheaper than under the ordinary day mes sage rates.
 The night messages are not sent over the Alaska cable. but are transmitted by wireless to Eagla and from there sent over the Do. minion telegraph line to Ashcroft. where they are taken mp by the commercial companies. For these messages the full day rate is charg. ed as far as Eagle. the rate being 6o cents for ten words. and six cents for every extra word.
 From Eagle. however. the mes sage of fifty words. or any parr thereof, is sent at the same rate as an ordinary ten-word day mes. sage. A person can. therefore. send a night letter Of fifty words 10 Se- attle for $G.65. while the same mes sage sent at the straight day rate would cost $16.50.
 All night lettersrams must be filed at the local telegraph office not later than , o'clock in the evening.

 The creature is not classified in natural history and is proclaimed by scientists to be the most remarkable specimen Of sea life ever captured. During the fight it lowed a yacht at rate of forty-five miles an hour about the bay in an effort to seek the open sea. Its throat IS large enough for a man to crawl in. and there is sufficient room in the mouth for two men. A fish weighing 1.500 pounds was found in the monsters stomach. J. S.
