MATTICE CITIZENS IN

Bets Laid on Time Of Arrival Of
Americans; Reports Say They
Are Holding up Well
Under Terrific Strain

Mattice. Ont. Jan. s.--The three
American balIoonlsts who are re-
turning TO civilization after their
record breaking flight into northern
Canada. are believed today TO DO
within 30 miles OF mattlce.
II IL believed here. from reports
brought In by the Indian runners
that tho three Americans are taking
a short rest at the camp OF John
Southorland. an Indian trapper, 20
miles from here. before making their
final dash for this place.
1t is known here that Switzerland
has good shelter and that his camp
Is amply able to take care OF tls
Americans, who ara believed to have
almost reached the point OF exhaus-
tion due to their long days and
nights of high tension since they
sailed away in the balloon from
Rockaway Point.
The citizens of Mattice and sur
rounding country have worked them
selves into frenzy OF excitement as
they wait for the arrival of the
American aviators There Is develop
ing an element of uncertainty as to
the actual time of their arrival,
which has furnished material for
much discussion among those wise
in the ways of the NORTH Bets ars
being posted as to when the bal.
loonists, travelling by dog trains,
will make this point.
Indian scouts, trarpers and run
ners who arrived here from the
north are being closely questioned
as to the progress the Americans
have made in their southwark Jour
ney and how far their average mil
cage day takes them over the
snow fields.
The prediction, when the first
news of their dog train trip reached
here. was that the constitutions Of
the Americans, unaccustomed to the
rigor of the far north would fail
under the constant strain of follow
ing the fleet dog. teams over the
snow wastes.
Plans were quickly formed for re-
lief expeditions and a number OF
such proposals were all but culmi-
mated, when other Indian runners
arrived here with the news that the
Americans were taking to their new
work like veterans Of the snowy trail
and that, in the opinion of the
guides, there were no dog teams in
Mattice that could make the trip
and keep up with the teams used
by the Americans on the southbound
trip.
There is nothing for the old tim
ers to do now but wait and lay
wagers. The former, they are doing
with impatience, the latter with
much enthusiasm and persistence.
