fresh cold wind pursued us, and the
ever seen it before, even on the 18TH
mus. To our right some great rocks
were covered with seals and sea lions,
and back Of them were hills of yellow
sand. A beautiful great mountain rose
green to our left, and the water be-
meath us swirled and eddied in numer-
GUS whirlpools made by the tide.
Everybody was on deck and close to
the rail. We strained our eyes ahead
and saw two islands and beyond a
shore of green hills None Of us knew
where San Francisco was located, nor
could we find out The ships COM
pany were much too busy to pay at
tention to our questions. The great
opening out of the bay beyond the
long narrows was therefore surprise
to us. 1t seemed as vast as an inland
sea. We hauled to the wind, turning
sharp to the south, glided past the bold
point Of rocks.
Then we saw the city concealed in a
bend of the cove. 1t was mainly of
canvas, hundreds, perhaps thousands
Of tents and canvas houses scattered
about the sides of hills. The fiat was
covered with them, too, and they ex-
tended for some distance along the
shore of the cove. A great dust borne
by the wind that had brought us in
swept across the city like. cloud Of
smoke. Hundreds and hundreds of
vessels lay at anchor in the harbor, a
vast fleet.
We were Immediately surrounded by
small boats and our decks filed with
men. We had our first sight of the
genuine miners. They proved to be as
various as the points Of the compass.
Big men, little men, clean men, dirty
men, shaggy men, shaver men, but all
instinct with an eager life and energy
| have never seen equaled.
They addressed us eagerly, asking
a thousand questions concerning the
news of the outside world. We
could hardly answer them in our de-
sire to question in return. Were the
gold stories really true? Were the dig
gings very FAR away? We're the dig
gings holding out? What were the
chances for newcomers? And so on
without end, and the burden always
Of gold, gold, gold!
We were answered with the enthu-
siasm of an old timer welcoming a
newcomer to any country. Gold, plen-
ty Of it. They told us In breathless
snatchcs the most marvellous tales.

We shook our heads and waved our

We screamed something back at him.
"Go get it! he repeated and with

We rowed back to town. It was no

but Talbot refused to show curiosity.
"He's there, and he's evidently Ell

aboard to claim it," said he, land
that's all we can know now. and that's
enough for me-
Yank met us at the top of the gang

"Tm going to be seasic6, as usual. But

He lay down in one Of the hunks and
closed his eyes.

Johnny.
"Well," said Yank, when | drew
that steamer ticket it struck me that
somebody might want it a lot more
than l did, especially as you fellows
drew blanks. SO | hunted up a man
who was in hurry and sold it to him
for $500. Then I hired one Of these
sail rugged fishing boats and laid in
grub for a week and went cruising out
to sea five or six miles,"
Johnny opened one eye.
"Why?" he demanded feebly.

ship that came along a little before
the crowd got at her, said Yank.

Yank grimly.
"Why didn't you let us in on it?"
asked.
"What for? It was only one man

got aboard her after a little trouble
persuading her to stop. There wasn't
no way Of making that captain believe
we'd sleep anywhere we could except
cash, so 1 had to pay him a good
DEAL"
"How much?" demanded Talbot.
"It came to two hundred apiece. I'm
sorry"
"Glory 5e.' shouted Talbot. "We're
ahead of the game. Yank, you long

begged Johnny.

rector of the committee. land are try

IRENE Importance of bringing their
children to the hospitals before the
paralysis becomes permanent. 1t is
not necessary for parents to be
wealthy to give their children the
treatment they require. They will re-
ceive free the required orthopaedic
treatment and muscle training by the
best orthopedic surgeons in the coun-
try"
The general committee has so ar
ranged it's work that every child will
receive individual treatment by sur
geons and nurses experienced in mus
Gle training work.
The treatment for the first two or
three years consists largely of massage,
the use of electricity and muscle train
ing and corrective gymnastics. Much
value is placed by orthopedic special
lists upon muscle training, by which
the child is taught to regain control
over the affected muscle groups. Prac-
tically every nurse in New York ex-
perienced in muscle training will be
at work in one of the orthopedic insti-
tutiOnS or clinics.

 The testimony of the Indians was con- tr2ojcted by Campbell in only few minor instances that were wholly ImmatcriaI iii the case, The discrepancy in the testimony did not begin until after Little Waska heard the two shots which are supposed to have ended the lives of the Nelaons.
 Mir Boden says be has given the case much consideration and has tried to satisfy

bis conscience that he had no share in the conviction of an innocent man. He has considered tie facts from all angles and tried to find an excuse under which he might help to secure executive clemency for the convicted man, but has failed to find such an excuse. If there is any evi- dence that can be secured in Alaska which tends to show CampbelPs innocence, even though there be some expense connected with it, he has offered to secure it and de fray the cost himself. It is hard to believe he concluded that circumstances have woven a net around Campbell from which

CONVICT JOSEPH CAMPBELL STILL PROTESTS INNOCENCE
 OF MURDER OF WILSON'S

The Pioneer is in receipt of a letter from Joseph Campbell convicted in 1912 in thla city of the murGer of the Nelson brothers in the kuslokWim country. It WrI be re membcrcd that a year ago District Attorney Roth set on foot an Investigation into the facts connected with the case, as strong rep resentations had been made to him of the possibility of CampbeNs innocence. Noth- ing has appeared in the public prints, how ever, to indicate what were the results ot that investigation. A portion of CampbeIl's $ letter which is dated April 10, 1916, IS as follows:
 T received a letter some time ago from Jim Fullerton at Dikeman. He also sent me a copy of your paper, in which there WAS printed a small article about myself l have read the article over time and again since, and perhaps l have weighed the con tents therein mere carefully than any other one person on earth l took particular no tice of the few words in the beginning of the article l will quote them:
 Many express doubt aS to Joe Camp bells guilt. Did Joseph CampboN who was sentenced in Iditarod in 1912 to life i'm prisonmpnt for the murder of the Nelson brothers in the KuskolWim district in the year 1911, really commit these murders, or is he enduring the misery of penal serVl- ture WrorgfUlly?'
 "Nou can tell the world that l did not commit those murders, and that l am en- during the misery of penal scrvltude wrong fully, and for crime which l never had anything to do with and did not know any thing about mtit shortly before l was ar rested at Ruby which was about a year after the crime was committed l have learned Of several witnesses since l have been down hNa that would have h.l"ed me a great GeI ii could have had them a. the trial But aa that time ] didn't k.@" anything about jhcn And there were soy- eral others that would have helped me d great deal bat ! was unable to locate them, lha full names If some of whom ,hu not kn " much less their addresses. And for that reason had to take the witness stand without single witness in my defense l have never been able to locate Billy Barnhart yet although l have done everything in my power l have written hart and addressed them to different ,Iacos. but so far 1 have not received an answer. You can take my word that a man without money in a case of this kind is q man with cut luck l an. not altogether discouraged, though"
 Campbell speaks of letter received from Henry Ro@en, who acted as prosecutor i" the case in which N!r. Roden said that h" would not oppose pardon for Campbell, b,:t that hc wo'id lend him no as istan"a to that end Il; appears 10 lot. continues Campbell, that if he really thought l wa~ guilty Of that crime he would oppose 1s.y getting a pardon'
