purpose only, and who in that man.
ner relieve the banks of a great deal
of that class of paper, which is not
considered liquid Asset. We find
the sales of the better class of prop
erty for home purpose bringing very
good prices today, this is proven by
the many inquiries and fairly good
demand for loans through our As

ALL ISLANDERS

 TO REGULATIONS
Recent Orders of Island Health Board on Wear ing of Masks Strictly
 Observed.

DOUGLAS, Nov. 12.-Everyone on the island this morning was conform ing with the recent rules of the health board relative to the wearing of masks on the streets and in public places.
 That Mayor Smith and the health board mean business. in this matter is evidenced by the swearing in of J. D. Bagley as special police officer who will assist in the wharfinger and regular police officials in the carry ing out of the new regulations.
 Yesterday several passengers from Juneau, who were without masks, at tempted to get by the officers at the wharf, and at the time, some did get by as the cannery tender Monaghan landed at the float at the same time and the passengers on board claimed to know nothing of the quarantine rules. Everyone is acquainted with the regulations, now however, and there are more officials on hand to see that they are enforced.
 There are many who are opposed to the wearing of masks, but it will not be we'll for them to appear on the streets or public places on the island without them for if they do, they will certainly be arrested

HAVE WHITE FEATURES
Bowers Tells Some Addi- tionaI Details About the Strange Race in the
 Great NOrthIand.

SEATTLE, Nov 12. - Sure, they're blond Eskimos. They are aborigines living up in the white Arctic on Victoria Land in their primeval state absolutely untouch- ed by the outside worlds civili- zation. They are completely out of contact with everything and, con- sequently, have none of our i'm provements and also none of our evils"
 w. J. Bower, known along the Arctic coast as Levi" Bower, one of the very few men who have gone from the outside into the far north ern almost fabled land of the "blond Eskimos,' thus described them wher he was here recently.
 And I don't think it was Stef ansson who first found them." Bow CT asserted. Vilhjalmur Stefansson returned 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 it's existence.
 According to Stefansson and Bow CT, Captain Klinkerberg, master of the 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 Stefansson, then at Herschel, heard Klinkenberg' story and immediate ly went to Victoria Land where he made study of the natives.
 Bower claimed the "blond Eski- mos" are really blond. Stefansson does not go that far but says they have light gray, almost blue eyes and few have light hair and eye blond" native have round, full eyes while the other Eskimos of the far north have the slant eyes of Asiatics.
 Tt looks as if the blond Eski- mos come from early Greenlanders or Scandinavian stock of some kind" !" Bower said. q know they are no half white and half Eskimo because the half breed Eskimos have blaci eyes and black hair. These whit ones have light eyes and light skin and hair. The old men of the tribe have the same white features as the young.
 Bows and arrows are used by them, they know nothing about to- baccO and liquor, they make their fires with a sort of flint, they dress in skins, they spear their reindeer and club their fish, they won't eat outsiders food and they speak a language similar to that of the Es- kimo

 We left a gun with them. h. stead of using to kill meat. the men seemed to think it was a plaything for when left they were shooting their ammunition away at targets and wildly into the air. When they ran out of shells they probably turned the gun around and got some real use out of IL as a club"
 Bower said he thought there were over 250 blond Eskimos' on Vic toria Land. It is not very proba-
