ed on foot for the mainland. During
their absence the Karluk was crushed
by the ice and sunk, eight members or
the party losing their lives in an at
tempt to reach Herald island. Nine
men made their escape.
Despite this disaster, Stefansson
continued his work in the far north.
making arrangements to journey on
foot over the ice to unknown parts
Of Beaufort sea. After extensive ex-
plorations, he returned to Prince Pat
rick Island in 1915. but with Kellet as
his base, he went on with his re-
tsearches within .the arctic circle thru
1915, being Joined in May of that year
by a party on the Polar Bear at Cape
James Murray.
Fort Yukon, where Stefansson Is
reported to have arrived, is trading
post and station Of. Alaska on the arc
tic circle, and on the great bend OF
the Yukon river, in about longitude
|145 degrees 20 minutes west.
Stefansson's arctic Journey was not
Ia pole seeking expedition. He accom-
plished one Of hisNmain purposes when
he discovered a large island or CONT
nent northwest Of Prince Patrick
island. Another objective was to sail
thru the northeast passage but Ice
conditions blocked this.

srEFAhssoN ASSENT I YEARS
Has Thrilling Experiences During stay
in Far North.

Seattle. Wash, Dec. 2s.-Arrival OF
vilhjalmur Stefanssonf at Fort Yukon
apparently ends q voyage Of arctic ,ex-
ploration that began when he left Vic
toria. B. G., June 1898, at the head
Of Canadian government expedition
aboard the steamer Karluk.
Word brought from the explorer in
1916 said Stefansson hoped to reach
the Atlantic ocean late in 1917 and
end his adventures with an ascent OF
the ST. Lawrence river to Montreal.
His plans probably were changed by the
fact that the ice broke late along the
Arctic during the summer OF 1917 and
made navigation almost impossible.
The expedition was divided into the
northern and southern divisions. Ste
fansson, in. charge Of the northern, set
out to explore unknown parts Of Beau
fort sea and to search for new land.
His party started ON the government
steamer Karluk. Near Point Barrow
the vessel was Ice bound and carried
eastward to Thetis island.

trees, series of timely woodlot con-
| servation lectures has been been add
ed to the program. In addition, the
| forestry department will give definite
directions as to how to market the
surplus wood
Other forestry talks and demonstra-
lions will deal with the shelter belts
and methods of locating them with
reference to farm buildings, orchards
and feed lots. The proper species for
different localities will be taken up.

A LIVELY ENCOUNTER
WITH A RABlD BULL

Frank Childress had nencounter
with rabid bull last Wednesday
morning that was brief but very ex-
citing while 1t lasted. Frank was
following a band OF cattle up Mill
cayon in his Ford car and was COM
PEELED TO stop for a time TO allow the
cattle to get out of his way. He no.
ticed bull off to one side of the
road. but paid no attention to II, and.
as he thought, the bull was paying no
attention to him. but there was where
he was mistaken. AS soon as Frank
started the engine on his auto his bull
ship made a charge at the machine
Frank met the charge with trusty
old 45 and put five bullets out of
six into the bulls brain, bringing the
contest TO q close.
The bull demolished the windshield
on the car and was trying TO climb
over the radiator when the bullets
stopped his advance. The car shows
the result of the encounter with the
rabid bcast.-AuStin Reveillc.

MILITARY DEPT.
ELKO HI SCHOOL
Fundamentals of Military
Science Will be Taught To
Our Boys

In answer to a persistent demand the
boys of the high school are today be-
ing organized into a voluntary depart.
ment of undergraduates. II isn't in
tended or feasible TO make training
school of the high school but IL seems
highly wise at this time to provide
some logical means for developing and
making use of the present high spirit
of patriotism. The great good to be
gained through the establishment OF
a military athletic department may be
seen from the nature of the organiZa-
ton outlined below:
i. The company proper. in the
course of three weeks, the boys them.
selves will select, (from a list of boys
who have successfully passed the re-
quired tests and are sufficiently ad-
vanced in all their school work) the
sergeants and corporals for the COM
pany. Faculty recommendation for
such honors will be based upon: Eff.
cheney in school work, conduct as
gentlemen, bravery, character. etc.
etc.
2. First Aid TO the Injured: There
will be red cross division of seven
or eight boys. chosen because of their
special fitness. This squad will see
that red cross principles and proper
sanitary conditions prevail wherever
the company goes or whatever il does.
instruction will be given each boy re-
garding bodily care and health: the
care of the injured and sick: respect
for the health of others etc.
3. Signal corps: Wigwagging, mir.
ror signals and fire signals lin so far
as such are allowed by government)
will be carried out that all sections
of the company may be in constant
touch with the other sections.
4. Color sergeants. buglars, and
drummers.
5. Commissary department. 1t is
proposed that the company take week
end trips, camping out and fishing
etc, and gaining instruction in the
rudiments of proper camping.
AS soon as possible suitable uni
forms will be provided. Probably
military ball will be given in the near
future for the purpose of raising
money to provide equipment for the
troop.
Judge Taber has already volunteered
as has Morley Griswold; the former
has been promoted to the rank OF
official guide; the latter has been
assigned to the commissary depart
ment, naturally. Many other Elko
citizens are kindly Offering their assist.

TERM OF TRIAL
COURT POSTPONED

Sheriff Harris and District Attorney
Caryille returned from their attempted
trip TO Jarbidge yesterday morning.
They were obliged TO turn back at
Rogerson, as the stage driver at that
place refused TO give them passage
owing TO the impossible condition of
the road. AS there is no hay in the
section all the horses have been taken
TO the desert. and they had no choice
but return.
When the situation was made known
TO Judge Taber today. he made an
order postponing the date of trial Of
the three men charged with murder at
Jarbidge. also the trial of NJ. l.. We'll.
charged with forgery, until September
18th. The sheriff was directed to no
ufy the witnesses and jurymen from

cused until that date. About forty
jurors will be brought in to try the
Moore case. which was set for April I6.
