ALMOST BLIND TRAPPER ENDS
 LIFE IN CABIN

My eyes are useless for hunting, the rest of my body also is useless, l believe my time has come," are the last words written in the diary of Victor Swanson, whose skeleton, with a 44-calibre bullet hole between the eye sockets and the top of the skull missing, was found in his lonely cabin 60 miles up the Alsek river says the Empire.
 The last entry in the diary was made on April 22, 1918, but the date April 24 was scratched off the cal endar, indicating that he must have lived at least two days after he was 1 too weak to write, according to Charles Johnson, who is making his first visit to Juneau in more than three years and who brought a copy of the diary here with him. MT. Johnson was in the Dry bay district at the time of the tragedy and knew the victim.
 Almost blind, starving and with only three cartridges left, Swanson is believed to have planted a bullet in his brain to end an existence that had been a torture for months after he had been halted by sickness the previous fall in his trapping trip up the Alsek river toward the interior. I The Alsek river empties into Dry
 bay, which is on the Gulf of Alaska
 more than a hundred miles west of
 Juneau. The country is wild one and little frequented but it presents an opening into the Yukon river country, if the rapids of the swift running river are negotiated safely. According to Johnson, Swanson ar rived at the bay and proceeded to go inland. He was man-shy, he says, and seemed to be trying to avoid people. When men approached his cabin he had no desire to meet or speaking to them. Nothing is known of his history other than that it is | thought he came from ketchikan.
 STARTS HIS DIARY
 Swanson's diary was started on October f. 1917, when he had reached spot about sixty miles from tide water on the Alsek The first entry said: "Getting sick. Packing down. Looking for camping place. Cold in the lungs with high fever On October 10 he wrote Going to build a house. Will not be able to pull that canoe this fall Going to wait for ice."
 October 13 he said he shot a glacier bear and on the following day two goats. Swanson finished his house and also built smoke house. Before the end of the month he had shot two more goats, one lynx, a wolf and a bear cub.
 MAKES BEARSklN PANTS
 On November Swanson wrote that he made pair of bearskin pants and on the eighth he said his sugar was all gone. Between the thirteenth and eighteenth of the month, he made two pair of mecca sins and a fur coat The coat was
