GENERAL FIRE
INSPECTION To
Be MADE SOON
WITH A VIEW TO ELIMINAT1H0
FIRE HAZARDS IN CITY.
VIII Include Thorough Examination OF
AL Public Buildings

Fire Chief Burley Thompson announc-
cd yesterday that he will start general
inspection of tho city, with a view OF
eliminating fire hazards. in ten days or
two weeks.
The inspection will include thorough
| examination Of all public buildings. In
Guiding roomng houses and hotels.
where the chief promises to leave not
hing undone To uncover any condition
that mcnaces the safety of the city.
Back yards, too will come in for a
! thorough examination, as Chief Thor!p-
son Is firmly Of the belief that accuuiu-
! lations Of rubbish and trash are by no
means the least dangerous fire hazards.
Chief Thompson. with the assistance
. Of the firemcn. Is now making a test OF
all Of the citys fire hose. The test Is
bcinc made at the station at Seventeenth
! and Eoff streets
An innovation in the way Of SAL
wage system. inaugurated in the fire de-
partmcnt by Chief Thompson. was tried
out at the fire at VIII H. Colvig's milnn-
cry store Monday morning. with great
success. This innovation is simply tho
use Of heavy. waterproof paulins to pro-
tect store stocks from water which mus,
be poured into buildings 10 check the
flames.
When the firemen arrived at the Col
Wig store, a nasty blaze was we'll under
Roadway and 1t was apparent that there
was no way to check the fire but to use
a heavy volume Of water. Almost as
soon as the pumps were started. the
salvage corps broke into the store and
covered tho stock Of millinery goods
with these paulins. saving thousands Of
dollars in the way Of loss from water
| damage.

ESK|MOS"
ARE SAVED FROM
CIVILIZATION
CANADA ISOLATES THEIR PART
OF THE VICTORIA
LAND

FORT YUKON, May s. - Blond
Eskimos" discovered by Vilhjalmur
Stefanson, the explorer, in the far
northern Arctic, are to be let alone
in their uncivilized aboriginal state,
according to Leo Wittenberg, a
trader and whaler who stopped on
his 'mush' from the Arctic Ocean to
the states.
The Canadian government, Wit
tenberg said, has forbidden all white
people from the outside world to
trade, trap or even visit in the sec
ton of Victoria Land where the
strange white race lives. Even mis-
sionaries cannot go into the country,
he asserted.
Canada's orders are being en-
forced by the constables of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police from the
police station at Herschel Island, an
Arctic post at the mouth of the Mac
Kenzie River.
Wittenberg said he went among
the "blond Eskimos" a year after
S~tefanson's discovery and estab-
lished a post where he engaged in
trading, whaling and trapping. He
remained there, he asserted, until
Canadian authorities requested him
to leave.
Wittenberg's description of the
strange ace comedies with that
given by Stefanson. They have blue
eyes, light hair and European fea-
lures in general, he said. Authori-
ties believe the tribe descended from
early Greenlanders.
Reports brought out of the north
about a year ago by w. ]. Bowers,
n of Stefanson's companions, said
the Blond Eskimos' used bows and
arrows, dressed in skins, used fints
for making fires and knew absolutely
nothing of the great outside world
lying far to the south.

JAPAN ACTIVE IN
SECURING MEX.
CONCESSIONS
MANY FOREIGN INTERESTS ARE
ACTIVE IN EXPLORATION
CAMPAIGN

MEXICO CITY, May S.-A Japan
csc government commission headed
by Baron Dasegawa, captain of en-
gineers, virtually has completed in
vestigaaon Of the petroleum posi-
bilities of the Tampico region and
the department of industry and COM
merce states that the commission
plans to conduct surveys in other
parts of the republic.
Concessions for oil explorations in
the northern part of the country,
particularly in Durango and in
Chihuahua, have been secured by the
Japanese.
The Japanese activities constitute
only one phase of what apparently is
a frenzied campaign of exploration
throughout the republic of Mexico by
foreign interests.
