Mother and Children Perish in Fire.

Coroner H. A. Hamre was called to
Candy Monday night to inquire into
the death OF Mrs. Sander Peterson
and her two children, three and four
years OF age. Shortly after six o.
clock neighbors discovered that their
house, located five miles southwest Of
Candy, was on fire. When they ar
rived they did not Immediately dis
cover that there was anyone within
the burning building.
Mr.. Peterson had driven to his
mothers place about five miles north
on an errand and Was absent at the
time. 1t is supposed that the woman
had been to the barn doing chores and
that the children had been left In the
house and that they had had some
mishap with the fire and that the
mother, when she discovered the fire,
rushed into the house to rescue the
children. The fact that the door was
open leads to this conjecture. The
result evidently was that in her ef-
fort to save the children she was ov.
81 come. Her body, burned to a crisp
was found in the cellar, evidently hav.
ing dropped thru with the burning
floor. The remains Of the children
were found near the wall Of one OF
the rooms clutched in each others
arms.-Granite Falls Journal.

NOTES OF THE TRIP.
It was a tired bunch that pulled in
to the Valley shortly after $3.50. The
trip is a most tiresome one, but as
luck would have it. the train was on
| time.
The game was not called until 9 o.
clock, in order that the Wllmar team
might have chance to rest up, and
become accustomed to the gym before
game time.
In order to accommodate the crowd,
a space Of about four feet on one side
Of the gym was rOped of, and two
tiers of planks put down for the spec
tators to stand on. The stage, at one
end of the hall was TANNED with hu-
manity.
In order to insure enough money to
pay the expenses of the visiting team,
the admission charged was IS and SO
cents. In addition only limited mum.
Der OF tickets we're sold, thus insur'
ing a chance for each ticket holder
to see the game.
Eight minutes of play elapsed be-
fore a point was scored, when Os
mundson sent the ball thru the net
from near the foul line. Fifteen min
utes of the first half went by before
the Valleyites scored, after which
Morril dropped in two In quick sue
cession.
Too much credit cannot be give1
> the crowd. It was most orderly
gathering, not a single protest beinl
> registered during the evening, which
is little short Of wonderful, when on
considers what was at stake, ant
I, how close the score was during thu
entire contest.

present at the game, but tho the.

Tell me something about the game
of the Kobuk?"
1T is of many varieties, and we are
SO far north that no one bothers abou:
getting a license for hunting. There is
excellent fishing. The streams Of the
delta are such that you can travel
hundreds Of miles in gasoline launch
They are deep, but the water is so clear
that you can see the bottom almost
everywhere.
1.-The whole valley is full of wild
birds There are great flocks of wild
geese, ducks and sandhill cranes that
come 20 feed on the berries that grow
on tn banks Of the lakes. These birds
arrive about May /, sending out their
scouts in advance. The natives watch
for the first goose and then prepare for
the hunt.
We have two species of ptarmigan,"
Judge Moran continued. one of these
IL the size OF quail and the other that
of prairie chicken. These birds are to
be found the year around. and, strange
to say, they change their color with
the season. In the summer the feathers
are brown, the color of the tundra In
the winter they turn to snow white, 50
that il is difficult to see the birds
against the snow. This is a protection
Of nature. 1t is the same with our rab-
bits. They are brown in the summer
and in the winter snow white. We
have millions of rabbits. They feed on
the bark of the willow trees, and they
will eat the bark as high as they can
reach. standing on the snow as they do
so. This kills the trees, and you often
see dead willow thickets of vast cx-
tent"
Have you any big gamer
I'VE have moose here and there and
thousands of caribou. The caribou go
about in large droves in the winter. AS
to fur animals. we have otter and musk

fur"
How about foxesT

There is no doubt of It," said Judge
Moran. I'VE have the ideal climate for

was once the natural home of the

extinct. During one year we shipped
