Route, Made Yesterday

Cut the weeds and paint up the

to farmers by Postmaster Theresa
Thoreson of the local postal depart
ment, following a tour of inspection
Of the rural mail routes made Friday.
Weeds along many of the routes
have not been cut, Miss Thoreson to-
day announced, and advises farmers
to cut these before snow time to pre-
vent drifting or the roads and prob
able blocking Of the roads for the
greater part of the winter. Mail car
riers will not be required to carry
mail over impossible roads during
the winter she announced. rs
Due to the fact that beginning with
the first of November, several new
carriers will go on duty who r IN
familiar with the route and the names
of the farmers, it was suggested that
an inspection be made by the owners
of mail boxes to make sure that the
names and numbers Of the routes are
distinct. Attention to this matter will
prevent any delay in mail delivery.

Seattle, Oct. ls.-An American ex-
plorer, Harold Noice, formerly a
member of Vilhjalmur S~tefansson's
party, is working his way eastward
on foot along the route Of the north
west passage on the northern rim of
the continent, according to word re-
ceived here. He expects to reach the
Hudson Bay country and civilization
some time next summer.
Storker S~tefansson, formerly second
in command Of the Stefansson party,
who arrived here recently from the
far north, said that Noice, accom-
panied only by Eskimos. is proceeding
slowly and mapping portions Of the
coast lines as he goes. A stretch OF
the coast line of Victoria Land, here
tofore unmapped, is being charted by
Noice.
Noice may visit the interior of
Victoria Land, which, according to all
reports. has never been explored by
white men. All explorers. traders and
trappers who have touched Victoria
Land have only journeyed along its
shores. rStefansson found the tribe of
"'blond Eskimos" in the Victoria Land
country.
Noice has NO ship md but few sup
plies. He depends almost entirety
upon his gun for his living. Stefans-
among explorers as being able to live
OF the barren white lands Of the
north. probably taught Noice how to
set about without carrying many
supplies.
Noice's parents live in Seattle. The
explorer is young In years, having
graduated from high school here
