Capt Robert Bartetts Remarkable Trip From cebound
Wrangel Island Gain Aid for His Comrades and How
the Survivors Were Saved by the King and Winge

favorable winds remained close To the
Alaskan shores from Icy Cape 10 Point
Barrow and well to the eastward as far
as HcrsChcl Island. The ka~luE and the
other vessels of the expedition man
aged to reach Point Barrow and go to
the eastward for a short distance only,
being continually harlssed by heavy
Arctic ice. The smaller vessels of tine on
petition, being of lighter drausht, were
able to keep close to shore and seek
shelter in the numerous laEoons to be
found on the north coast of Alaska.
The Karuk however. keeping IN
shore off the ice as much as poSsi-
HE. continually got aground. 50 Capt.
Bartlett, being anxious to get Stefans-
son and the karluk to Herschel Island,
kept off shore in deeper water. No bet
ter progress was made because Of the
northerly and northwesterly winds.
While the Karluk was caught in the
ice off Colinson Point Mr. Stefansson,
accompanied by his secretary, Bert VI.
Mcconnell; wilkins, moving picture
man. and several native Eskmos, went
ashore over the ice for a caribou hunt.
While they were on this hunting trip
a strong southeast gale sprang up on
October 6. 1918. and the Karluk, with
al, those remaining on board, was
caught in the heavy ice and carried
helplessly out to sea with II.
Stefansson and his companions
worked their way along the coast TO the
westward to Point Barrow and sent out
news Of the disaster by the first winter
mail over the trail. Ships caught in
the ice in this part Of the world are
seldom heard from. and II was thought
by many that Capt Bartlett and his
mon never would be heard of again.
Being experienced in Arctic work Capt.
Bartlett took every precaution to pro-
"an- the Earluk from being crushed and
l.ept his shipmates in fairly good spirits
ly letting them know there was a pos
sihie chance Of their being released
from the pack in the spring.
The first part of the drift Of the Kar-
LUX was to the westward by Point Bar
row When off Point Barrow the ves-
sci drifted off to northward and west
ward at a considerable rate and those
on board saw the possibility Of the Kar-
lux drifting across the north pole. In
about latitude 73 degrees north the drift
Of the Karluk changed to the south
ward and westward, hut in a general
way always to the westward January
10. 1914, observations showed the Kar-
lux to he about sixty miles to the north
ward of Wrangell Island and sure
enough it could he seen when the
weather was clear
Without warning n slight pressure
of the pack crushed in the port side Of
the Karluk at the water line. An ex-
animation was hurriedy made and II
was found that the damage was beyond
repair and that the ship was slowly
sinking. Pumps We're manned, but
without avail. Capt Bartlett decided
that he and his men must leave tho

fathoms of water.
During the drift Of the Karluk the
scientists Of the expedition on board

Booked Tor Saturday Night.
Jan 18th.

Next Saturday evening at the
Grand will be devoted to the first
presentation of Bought and Paid
For" The play was written ty
George BroadhHrst and produced by
William A. Brady at his The Play
house in New York, and comes with
a record of fifteen months uninter-
rupted run there. 1t was also seen
in Chicago, at the Princess Theatre
for six months; and at the New
Theatre in London, England, for ov-
err six months. Mr.. Broadhurst S
treatment of the theme on which he
builds his play is daring in the ex-
treme.
1t is the story of a marriage be-
tween a poor younS girl and a rich
man. The girl does not love the
man at the time of their marriage
but she does later on.
The husband Is drunkard Drink
affects him in one of it's peculiar
ways, that is-when he is full, he
becomes very loving. He is one OF
those fellows who, when he gets a
jag, comes home, puts his arm
around his wife, and says, "Dearie
you are looking very sweet tonight. >
His are the Gee but l love you
jags.
The wife rebels, of course She
claims that though she is married
to the man it does not necessarily
follow that she must be degraded
whereupon the husband says, You'll
find that the law says" and the wife
meets him more than half way, thus:
the law" Remember this-the
moment the husband mentions his
legal right, he shows he has lost
his moral right.
1t devolves upon a question OF
whether the husband owns the wife
A fourteen dollar a week shipping
clerk and his wife, the sister of the
girl who marries the millionaire, are
big factors in the story.

Catarrh of the throat is not only an
annoying disease of itself, but it ex-
poses the victim to many other dis
eases. We are constantly breathing
into our threats numerous atmos-
pheric germs. Disease germs of all
sorts. This cannot be avoided. If
the throat is healthy the system Is
protected from these poisonous
germs. But if the throat is raw and
punctured with numerous little I'LL
GERS, by catarrh, then the disease
germs have easy access to the system.
Keep the throat well and clean.
This is the way to protect yourself
against contagious diseases. Gargle

One Sunday diminutive preacher
exchanged pulpits with a pastor who
was a giant in stature. The pulpit
was unusually high and was reached
by a winding stairway. He ascend
ed very slowly and for some time

the congregation saw a little bald
head raised above the pulpit, so that
only the eyes were visible, while the
preacher announced his text in high

NEW LAND OFFICE JOBS

The fact that there is no neces.

to the expense of making the trip
to Phoenix in order to file their land
proofs, when such work is done here
by r. w. Smith, Clerk of the Su-
perior Court, or A. T. Cotton, should
be reason enough for the people of
Graham county to be in favor of
the land office at Phoenix and against
the proposition to put in new land
Office at Tucson.
The land Office at Phoenix can
handle all the land business of the
State and give all the attention to
the records and filing of claims, with
the least Inconvenience to the peo.
pie. that is necessary to expedite

ing all these years the Indian had
to be content with what seepage
water reached the reservation. In
this connection it is we'll to state
that the building of the San Carlos
dam will reclaim $4,000 acres of
land owned by the Indians.
If an investigation, such as was
proposed by the Stafford meeting,
will not delay the construction of
the dam, it will, no doubt benefit
the valley. A rigid federal investi-
cation would result in an equitable
distribution of water in the GiIa
valley. With such distribution con.
siderable water would be turned
down'the river channel in low water
season. which, of course, would
reach the dam. For instance: There
are large number of Incorporated
canals in the Gila valley, the par
value of the stock of most of them
being S25, yet the stock in the one
highest up on the river sells at from
81 900 to 81 400 per share, while
canal, twenty miles lower down,
taking water from the same river,
cannot sell its stock for more than
par. Should a government investi-
cation do no more than regulate
this irregularity, it will be worth
the time and expense. Florence
