A memorial celebrating the
achievement of Captain Bernier in
taking possession of a vast portion
of the great archipelago for the
Dominion of Canada was placed
upon a huge rock on Melville
Island with the picture of the ex-
plorer's ship, the Arctic.
The Arctic, formerly in COM
mand of Captain Bernier and en-
gagged in Government service, is a
vessel celebrated in the history of
Northern exploration, and with a
notable record for adventurous
voyages to the Polar regions. It
is conceded that she is the most
powerful craft ever built for Arc
tic service, and may be described
as an improved Fran. The Arctic,
her active service ended, is now
anchored as a lightship in the most
dangerous part of the St. Lawrence
and all mariners are glad when they
succeed in passing the ship safely.
When voyaging in the Arctic the
vessel was painted white, but now
she no longer wears her Arctic
dress, but is respondent in red,
the emblem of danger, and sur
rounded by black buoys in the
river, off Saint Rock.
The Captain takes a pardonable
pride in his staunch ship, the
Guide, which has replaced the
Arctic. Yes indeed" he said, Il
am proud of the Guide, and be-
lieve she is almost invincible, but
l am prouder to believe in the Su-
preme Guide who ever watches
us ALL"

5000 Miles to Meet the Draft

When a Seattle, WASH, draft
board ordered Llenad Hudson, of
Paxson, Alaska, to take the first
train or be classed as deserter, !"
says the Pathfinder, little thought
was given of the possible hardships
the young man would have to ov-
ercome in order to meet the call.
Hudson received the notice on
May %. Two days later he was
on his way, travelling from then on
by dog team, blackboard. mail
barge and steamer to Skagway
where he secured a berth on boat
bound for Seattle, arriving there
July 8. His expenses for the
whole trip totaled nearly $500.

"When | Grow Old"

When have gathered all the fresh sweet
bloom of youth,
And stand upon life's hilltop, look
ing back;
When I have sounded deeps of clear un-
fettered truth;
Have left some hopes, some dreams,
along my track;
May peace her cloak of white about me
fold,
And Love hold fast my hand as grow
old.
When down the western slope of time I
take my way,
And leaves of autumn rustic meath
my feet;
May recall with quiet joy life's glad
young May,
When dreams were real, and days
were long and sweet,
Keep me, o God, from growing hard and
cold.
For, obi I would be young, when I
grow old.

While in America the Norwegian
explorer had a long conference
with Bernier, accepting from the
Canadian numerous charts and
maps and valuable data, which he
carries with him on his Polar voy-
age. Some of the most recent
charting of the Polar map repre-
sents the work of Captain Bernier,
and doubtless will prove of great
value to Amundsen.
The Maude, sailing up the coast
of Norway, and proceeding along
the Siberian coast, will come into
the drifting currents of the Polar
seas, toward the great magnet of
the North which has lured many
fearless navigators to their doom.
It is the kinship of the North
that has led Captain Bernier to aid
many explorers-more than any
other navigator of the Polar seas.
Some years ago while cruising
through the waters of the great
archipelago he established cache
at Winter Harbor, Melville Island,
with the thought that it might per-
chance prove a relief station some
day-a means of sustaining the life
| of Arctic wayfarers after long
jaunts through the frozen wastes
of the North.
His foresight was justified, for
Stefansson and his companions, who
experienced hardships in that re-
gion, we're held at Melville Island
only last winter, and almost FAM
ished. happened to spy the cache
built by Bernier years ago.
Stefansson and his mates owe
their lives to the provisions found
on Melville Island, thanks to the
efforts of mariner who knows
we'll the perils of travel in that
desolate region.
It is Captain Bernier's intention
as he voyages through the straits
of the Arctic Archipelago to estab-
lish more caches along the route
with view to extending aid to
Amundsen, should the Norwegian
meet with reverses. or by chance
need provisions upon returning
from the Polar regions.
That the exposition will proceed
as far westward as Melville Island
this year is indicated by a remark
made to me by the commander of
the Guide while discussing his
plans. He said:
II shall establish a cache on
Melville Island which will be at the

whatsoever to figure in the score
column.
Brad's three-base hit and home
run drive was the principal hitting
feature of the day. Jams showing
was also good: four times at bat,
resulting in four single hits. One
of them, however, went for naught
when he tried to stretch it into a
two-bagger. and another was sim.
ply thrown away when he took too
long lead from first base and was
thrown out, Theis to Smell.
Odenwald's pitching ability is
we'll known to the local fans, as
he pitched a game for the Hudson
team against the M. S. P. early in
the season. the locals winning by a
score of 6 to O. On that day he
allowed six safe hits, while he and
his team mates could only gather
in three safe bingles. Wells and
Lee we're his pitching opponents,
Wells being credited with winning
the game. In passing judgment
upon the merits of this former
game, Odenwald had nothing on
the local twirlers. We must, how
ever, give him due credit for the
work he did in Saturdays game.
In the second frame he passed the
first man up on balls. This man
stole second and went to third on
wild throw by Berger to Brad. He
then demonstrated to the fans
what he could do, by striking out
the next three batsmen. He prac
tically pulled himself from the
same kind of predicament again in
the fourth. The first man up in
this frame got a safe hit and ad-
vanced to second on a sacrifice and
stole third, with only one man out.
Any kind of a hit meant a score,
but he frightened up and struck out
the remaining batters, which
brought him generous applause
from the fans. In six innings
pitched by him he allowed three
safe hits, passed four on balls and
struck out ten men. In three in
nings pitched by Schauer, he al
lowed one hit and struck out
four men.
Farnham, who opened the game
for the visitors, pitched but one
inning. He allowed five hits and
struck out one man. Theis, who
relieved him, allowed six scattered
hits, passed two on balls and struck
out eight men.
There was large congregation
of fans both from the outside and
within. All were eager to get a
full view of each and every play.
Mr.. Tolen acted as official UNI
pire and his decisions we're in per-
feet accord with the plays.

All boys who registered for the draft Junue 5, last, and were placed in Class One, will be in uniform by Labor Day, it was said in Washing ton Thursday. Four hundred thous- and drafted men will be called out in August, and it is said this number will be chosen from the new class of registrants who are in the first class. This would indicate that Class One is practically exhausted. Secretary Baker will in short time, it is said, make recommendations to congress for the raising of bigger army, and probably will ask that the age limits be extended. This will be done with out hindering industry if possible. Some congressman are in favor of a general reclassification, which they say would place enough men in Class

TWO HURT WHEN
 BRIDGE BREAKS

George Jackson, aged 25, and H. Morrow, aged 37, both of whom are colored men, were injured late Thusday afternoon when tram road engine on which they were riding fell from the Holden steel bridge over Village Creek, five miles east of Newport. Jackson sustained serious injuries which consisted of a cut on the head two inches long, a cut on the jaw two inches long and two ribs fractured on the right side. Morrow, who was in charge of the engine, re- ceived only slight injuries, consisting of cuts on the hand and wrist. The men were brought to the office of Dr. c. R. Gray late in the afternoon and given medical aid Jackson will recover. The injured men live at Diaz.
 The accident occurred when the en- zine was driven onto the bridge drawing several car loads of gravel, which was to be placed on the New port -Grubbs road, in the construction of which the engine and several workmen were employed. It appears that the frame work on the right side of the steel bridge gave way just as the engine pulled onto the end of the bridge, the engine tumbling over to the ground, distance of about six feet. Several persons on the gravel cars were thrown to the ground, but none was injured. The cars did not get on the bridge. The injured men fell to the ground with the engine.
 The tram engine is the property of Gregory < Wilson, who have the con- tract to build the Newport Grubbs

road, the work of which is progress ing splendidly. The engine is used to haul gravel over a narrow track, which can be placed anywhere de- sired for that use, in consequence of which the work of placing gravel on the new road is quickly expedited.
