RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
Interesting Relics Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land
Where He Persisted.

After being in the possession of the
thrifty natives of King Williams land
for three-quarters of a century.
large number of interesting relics of
the Inflated Sir John Franklin polar
expedition have been brought from
the frozen north by Joe Bernard, who
is here after n four years stay along
the northernmost coast of the North
American continent, says a Vancouver
Oh. c. dispatch.
Though priceless from a collectors
point of view, the utilitarian value of
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Bernard for Il piece of
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged 10
the distinguished leader. though there
is as yet no positive proof of this.
Bernard also obtained a number of
primitive scientific Instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer-
stiles for which the explorer has been
collecting chronological specimens and
data since 1910. He also brought a
collection of furs worth approximate
ly So, 600.
Sir John Franklin, with 154 COM
panions, sailed into the Arctic In 1915
to find the northwest passage, and
was never heard of again. After many
relief expeditions had failed, his fate
was ascertained in 1859, when bleached
skeletons were found on the trail to
Hudson bay.

A unique automobile advertisement for

steering wheel enabling the driver to
steer, while sitting in the saddle. The
brakes also were elevated so that the
