Another Victim of Blizzard

The Nome Nugget of January 26 says th9t reports reaching Candle from the >tla- Tik section tell of another victim done to death by the deadly blizzard that blew over the uttermost reaches of the peninsula about the first of the year The unfortunate one was George Blaine, whose name is not un- known to many of the old timers, as he has long resided in the district, and particularly in the kotzebue sound country. According to the story reaching Candle, ths budy of Blaine was found lying a short distance outside of his trading station, some i5taEcc north of Selawik, a short time after the storm had blown over, cold and sGd in death Investigation revealed that the un- fortunate man apparently had left his cabin during the height of the storm for the pur pose of replacing log which had been dis placed by the wind, and was caught by the whirlng snows and hurried into etcr- nity. The details of how he came to wan der away from the cabin will probably never be known. as there Is no apparent ex planation of why he went so far that he ccrld not locate the cabin again. It was evident that he had no intention of going far. as his feet were encased in a par of light house slippers, and he wore no heavy clothing. Blaine was once before the vic tim of the Arctic blizzard while cerrying the mail along the Kotzebue shore. On this occasion he was caught while scarcely a mile from bis destiration and compelled to stay out all night in snowdrift with the result that portions of his hands were amputated and his days of mail carrying ended Of late years he has been engaged in running trading station for Tom Barry man at the point where he met his death. He was brother-in-law of A. Dietrich, for merly of Council and was employed by the latter at the time of his first unfortunate experience with the blizzard He is sgit to have been 6 member of the Arctic Brotherhood

PARIS. Feb. l-"Do not be under any misapprehension" Lloyd George Is quoted as saving by the newspapers reporting an m terNiew given recently in London to the Milan Soccolo. Great Britain is determined to push the war to the end. We may make mistakes. but we never give in It WAS British stubbornness which overthrow Ma poleon after twenty years Of war. Our allies then fell away one by one, and England alone held on. This time our allies gre as staunch and resolute as we are,

waters, it remained for r. A. Turner of Cordova. secretary treasurer and geneGi manager of the Cordova Packing Company, to limp into port on board the steamship Northwestern on her last trip nursing a badly frozen toe says the Seattle Post InteIligencer of January 30. Turner did not freeze this appendage by standing out cn deck in the teeth of gale or lashed to the rigging as a lookout in search of ice cakes. No, nothing romantic or poetlcal at all. He froze his toe while wrapped in the drapery of his couch in q cozy state room, and to tkiS hour has not been able to figure it out, unless it was that during the night he kicked the porthole open and hung his foot out where the wild waves were hay ing their rcputed conversations.

THERE ARE NO MEN ANGELS

The Centralia Hub has often worried about the absence of man angels in the pictures and paintings, and after some in vestigatcn it gives the reason for the dis crimination to its readers as follows:
 Always was a bit puzzled as to why the picture books and artists and story-tellars always depicted an angel as something with for mand face of feminine fetchingness. sur rounded by snowy wings of wondrous win someness. and in an attempt to get at the bottom of the puzzle 1 started out in the Sherlock Hclmesing business on my own hook, and l found out that when the church needs new carpet the pastor calls on the Ladies Aid Society for it. and when the deacons get behind with the pastors pay check they call on the Ladies Aid So- ciety and when the mortgage on the place of worship falls due 1t is the Ladies And Socetv that comes to the rescue and beats the sheriff out of job, and on Sunday when the pastor goes into the pulpit to point the way to the land of angels and perpetual life he usually faces an audience of mostly women, and the mid-week meet ings are the same thing, only more so, and I have deduced that the reason no one paints a man-angel is because there amt no such animal and now what DuzzleS me

A contract has been let in San Francisco by the Alaska Packers Association for the installation at the earliest possible date of six radio stations. The contract involves something more than $12,000 for instru- ments. Two of these stations go to Nu:h- agak bay, the locations being Snag point and Clark'S point; two go to Bristol bay, at kichak and Naknek; at Larsen bay, on Kodiak island and at Chignik, on the Alaska peninsula.
