HUDSON BAY FUR BUYER RETURNS FROM LONG
 DIFFICULT TRIP

Frank Martin, Northern Manager of the Hudson Bay Sur Company of Seattle has just returned from a long fur buying trip and reports a successful trip. but one attended by many hardships and difficulties.
 Mir Martin left Nome early in March and proceeded as far North as Point Hope returning on May 9th, having covered 140O miles of coun- try. From Nome to Kotzebue the trail and weather were favorable and unattended by any particular difficulties, but beyond that point storms made travelling a thing most difficult. Some days the blizzards were so severe that only twelve miles in five hours with 13 dogs could be accomplished. As habita- tions were few and far between it often became necessary to make camp and stay in the open, an ex' perience that has it's attendant un- plea asantnesses.
 Natives in the Point Hope country are not in the best of condition. food is scarce and where obtainable many times is prohibitive in price, as high as two dollars per pound being charged for pound of tea.
 On May 6, learning that some purchases had been overlooked ir the Teller district. Martin. without resting further. proceeded to outwit his. competitors. Hitching up hi. team he started on his way to Teller making the trip n one run, dist, ance of 90 miles in IA hours and obtained one of the finest assort, ment Of white and red fox brought into Nome this winter.
 The results of his trip to Point Hope and Teller netted this intrepid fur buyer lot of furs numbering about 800 prime skins, including white and red fox. wolves. polar bear and many smaller skins.
 As soon as navigation opens Mir !. Martin will ship this lot of valuable furs to his Seattle firm. Those wht are admirers of unmounted or un. tanned skins will be able to see an assortment of furs seldom seen in Nome. MT. Martin will besspleased to show his stock. As wide awake hustling business man Mir. Martin has set mark that his competitors find difficult to meet. and estab- fishes him as the foremost fur buyer in the district.
