BLOND EsKlMos FOUND


tAssoc5ated Press C~orrespondence)
SEATTLE. Nov. 6:-"Sure they're
blond Eskimos.' They are aborigines
living up in the white Arctic on Vic
toria Land in their primeval state
absolutely untouched by the outside
worlds civilization. They are COM
pletely out OF contact with everything
and, consequently, have none of our
improvements n also none of our
evils"
w. J. Bower. known along the
Arctic coaS as Levi Bower. one of
the very few men who have gone
from the outside into the far north
ern almost tabled land of the blond
Eskimos" thus described them when
he was here recently.
"And 1 don't think IL was Stefans-
son who first found Them" Bower as
serted. vilhjalmur Stefansson, re-
turned Canadian Arctic explorer, who
has been credited with discovering
the strange tribe, agrees with Bower
that he did not find them first. He
does. however. claim that he made
the first study of the tribe and
brought back to the outside world
the first report of its existence.
According to Stefansson and Bow
er. a Captain Klinkerberg. master of
tho whaling schooner Olga In 1905,
pushed northwest to Victoria Land
where he found the blond tribe. On
his return to the whaling base at
Herschel Island, an Arctic ocean
point. he told of his findings. Stefans-
son, then at Herschel, heard Klinker-
berg's story and Immediately went to
Victoria where he made a study of
the natives.

a supporting Democratic Congress the
people OF this city wen still further

candidate on the ticket. national.
county and local. a large majority.
Congressman Scully's majority OF
six hundred and ten came as a sur
prise to the Democratic leaders in this
city, who figured on a large majority
but not as large as was polled. Con-
trary to expectations Frederick Del

thought by both parties that Deibert

The voting in this city was very

city entirely since the explosion. The
fourth ward was hardest hit. there
