 STORY ANGERS LANE.

The Cordova Times states that Captain Lane. the Arctic explorer, branded most of the statements in the Seward Gateway's story discred- iting Valhjamar Stefansson as un- worthy of consideration and down right untruths.
 The statement that anyone who knows anything about the coasts up around Herschel Island could have known that Stefansson could not have let it be known long ago that he was alive is foolish. Vihjalmar Stefans- son was not near Herschel Island. No man has ever gotten to point uf communication with the outer world from the spot where Stefensson was. It would necessitate a long. hard. expensive sled trip and would mean the sacrifice of too much grub to make the trip.
 ,"I have been in the Arctic for a great many years and l have never heard a single man deny that there are blonde Eskimos there. They all claim, every man who has been there, that there are a small percentage of the Eskimos, some with very blonde hair and light blue eyes in that part of the country.
 "The article says that men. Whal- CTS who have been where Stefarsson was, say there were no fair-haired Eskimos there. Where the blorde Eskimos live there are no whales. and there are no whaling grounds ih 2oG miles of the place Tn all my eX~ perience ] have only seen one whaler who has been in that part of the Arc tic.
 "The statement to the effect that Stefansson should have known that the Karluk could not be frozen in solid at the point where she was stuck on the 20th of September is foolish. I was stuck at the same time and was stuck for the winter. Stefansson was in shallow water and he did not think that the ice would move again where the Karluk was. The ice run changes every year. you cannot follow any set course or make any definite plans in the Arctic ocean Captain Bartlett may be an ex- perienced navigator in the eastern ice foes; there the water is deep and the ice heavy, but things are diff ferent here. The water is shallow and the ice heavy. Captain Bartlett was warned to stay toward the shore 1 but he started to drift with the foe, It is a wonder he did what he did. The Karluk is one of the only three
 boats I know of that ever drifted around Point Barrow in an ice foe,
 without being crushed.
 Every prospector, whaler, trader, trapper, Royal Northwest Mounted policeman and native in that north ern country have nothing but words of praise for Stefansson. He made
 the longest sled trip ever made in I
 the world on ocean ice and got his
 food by his own gun and neither his
 men nor his dogs missed meal. He is the greatest hunter l ever heard of, and will live where the natives
 will starve. Why two trappers who have been in the Arctic for years made the trip with him and one of them had to quit. He is now on the Arctic coast trading and trapping. It
 was too strenuous for me- was what he told me. That is the best proof that stsffansson is on the square. He is the greatest man in that coun- try that the world has ever known" A Dutch inventors life boat Is cov-

AS NEUTRAL COURT
GOLDFlELD AND MILLERS WILL
CONTEST IN GAME OF
BASKETBALL

The next game of basketball will
be the long looked for contest be-
tween Goldfield and Millers on the
Airdome court, which is a neutral
court. The manager of the Tonopah
team has been asked by both Millers
and Goldfield to arrange a date in the
near future when both teams could
compete, and Tuesday evening, De-
cember 2S, is the date arranged. In
addition to this contest, which should
be worthy of the price of admission
by itself, the local squad under Cap
tain Dynan will play a picked team
composed of players home from the
different colleges for their Christmas
vacation.
Any of the local fans who have
seen either Millers or Goldfield per
form on the Airdome court are Ger
tainly assured of some game for
while both of these teams have gone
to defeat under the hand of Tonopah,
they put up such strong defense that
the contest next Tuesday should be
well worth seeing as neither team will
have any advantage over the other.
The first pig game for the local squad
will be played in the Airdome Janu
airy Is against the strong squad from
Austin, who have so far this season
won every game played by them. The
dance after Tuesday nights game viii
be under the auspices of the Tonopaf
basketball team and the music will
be furnished by six-piece orchestra
and the floor will be in the best con
dition possible.
