First Period Closes Tomorrow

Next Saturday, May 10, is an import
ant day for all candidates in the Journ-
al and News Scimitar's great tour cam
paign, as it marks the closing of the
first regular voting period. Subscrip-
lions turned in by Saturday night will
not only earn the largest regular vote,
but will also apply on the special ten
dollar club offer, which is explained be-
low This fact is apparently realized
by all participants and the remainder of
this week is ure to be one of great
activity. The young lady who realizes
the advantage of turning in her sub
-scriptions before the vote decreases
will in all probabilitary be the happy
representative of the journal when the
party assemblies at the Peabody Hotel
in Memphis on the evening of July 26,
ready for the most wonderful tour ever
offered in this locality.
Besides the regular votes given on
each subscription, a special prize of
100. 600 Extra Votes will be given on
each and every ten dollars in subscrip-
ton money secured by Saturday night
May &c After this date the votes,
either regular or extra, will be much
smaller, therefore it behooves all candi-
dates to endeavor to complete at least
one ten dollar club by the above date.
Those who turn in subscriptions this
week will not only have them apply or
this offer but will also ecure the bene-
fit of the first voting period, which
closes this coming Saturday night.
This great our campaign is really
just starting. There are over seven
weeks in which to secure the necessary
votes. The closing date is July Z.
Any young lady who will put forth the
right effort, can enter today with the
positive assurance of an equal chance
with all others. Look over the list ol
candidates and figure out your opport-
unity.

SCOTTY SMITH ENDS
LONG WINTER HIKE

Completing round trip to the Arctic
coast, by way of the Koyukuk country,
a journey which Consumed the greater
part of year; Scottr Smith, we'll known
oldtiner of Ruby and other Interior AL
askan camps, arrived III NensiIa during
the eaty part of the week. Scotty start
ed for the kovukuk from Rub$. and after
arriving at the northern digeings. decid-
ed to cross over to the Arctic side. Witt
a companion he portrayed a polling boat
and small outfit across the EndIcott
range and dritted down the Colville river
to the Arctic ocean. They reached the
coast just in time to be caught in the ice
and were carried eastward with the drift
to Herschel island, where they ran
across the geological party OF the Stetans-
son expedition.
After short stay at winter quarters OF
the arctic whaling fleets, the two rnush-
ers started OIL their return, picking their
way along the coast to Point Barrow and
around to Kotzebue sound. From that
point they nIuslled up the Kobuk river
crossed over into the Koyukuk country,
and thence down to Ruby and MP the
Yukon and Tanana rivers to Nenana.
Much cold weather and numerous
storms were encountered during the trip.
but no serioas mislap befell tire mushers
until their return to the interio: country.
On tire way NY the Kobuk river Scottys
companion frosted his hands and feet SO
severely that 1t was necessary to leave
him at Shungnak.
The Arctic coast, as many oldtimers
know from experience, consists of vast
tundra, the distance from the ocean TO
the nearest elevation of consequence being
frequently upwards of one hundred miles.
The water along the coast is very shah
low. On one occasion, Scotty says, they
were ont of sight of land i'll their polling
boat and the water was only ankle deep.
The only fuel obtalnable was ali occas-
ional piece of drift wood, and for the
most part the men cooked their meals
over an oil stove. They slept wherever
mite overlook them and only occasionally
were they so fortunate as TO find a cabin
or other less pretentioIs shelter to pro-
tect them from the weather.
