is the point Cook made on his voyage
to discover q north west passage, failing
in which he remarked to his party, we
will "tnrn again" and therefore the
name given 10 this point of land.
While on a trip to Seattle he was in
troduced to several prominent men of
affairs AID among them were a few
ne wspaper men who solicited an inter-
View with the request that he give
them something original. The most
novel thing he could think of was an
incident that occurred neal the town
where he was born, in the north of
England. There, he said, the fisher
men had TO ecure a license to fish. A
number of these people are poor and
cannot aft ord to comply with the law,
hence they resort to p%oaching. Mr..
Marlindale related one incident of q
fisherman, who having located the
abiding place of some large fish, went
by stealth to the stream which flowed
between large rocks and running his
manu- 0O"h uhuCi ObC VI tllO lOChS lClt
for the head of a large fish whose body
he could see, and by vibrating his fing-
ers produced ar electric sensation
(tickling, Mr., Martindale described it)
and eventually caught the fish with his
hand. He says the newspapers wrote
a column on the subject, but as he left
town the day of the interview, he did
not see the at,.icle until some time
afterward when he happened to be in a
barber shop in another town and one
Of the patrons picked up the paper and
read the story related by Mr.. Martin
dale. The article created considerable
mirth and doubt was ex expressed con-
corning the veracity of the author.
The lecturer having finished his story
telling the lights were turned off and a
detail map of Alaska thrown on the
screen and he pointed out the various
places visited during his hunting trips.
"White Horse" was the name of a
town lying along the Yukon river and
from all appearances was a busy little
place. The next scene was an eight
horse team conveying a large boiler
over the rocky roads that abound there.
Next the town of Cardova was shown
and in this vicinity large deposits of
coppera are found. Several magnificent
mountain scenes were exhibited, also
a large steel bridge which spanned the
Copper river, and another picture
showed a copper mine at the base of a
mountain and the snow covered peaks
in the distance, also several washeries.
The lecturer said he and his guide
were continually bothered with mos
quitoes during the summe season
there and as a protection wore netting
over their heads at all times when they
were travelling about. These pests
Mr.. Martindale said were twice as big
as the Jersey product with three times
the striking power, Several snap shots
were shown of Mr.. Martindale while
in camp and on the trail. A most in
teresting picture was a hair seal and a
lynx which be had shot. Several gla-
ciers were exhibited and greatly ad-
mired.
"Turnagain," the town described in
the fore part of the lecture, was again
shown with some of Its inhabitants,
one of which the lecturer induced to
to have, her photograph taken.
Mrs. Pullen, a famous German horse
back rider was shown and her abilities
described, after which the entertain
ment closed with a large picture Of the
lecturer being thro wn on the screen.
Everyone expressed themselves as
we'll pleased with the lecturers after
noon entertainment and would heartily
welcome him to speak again.
