The past week has been one Of the
most pleasant I ever enjoyed was the
statement made last night hy Governor

after having spent a week IN the Valley.
The last two days of his stay were spent
ON the southern part of the King ranrh
east of Raymondville nj the hunting
camp provided by his host. :. &. Tucker.
and a party Of Brownsville gentlemen.
The party succeeded in baasing two
fine bucks. and the governor is assured
Of n venison Christmas dinner as re-
suit of his hunting trip to the "wilds Of
the King ranch" The hunting camp
had been very comfortably arranged and
the governor enjoyed the trip immensely,
being i'm the best of health and spirit :
when he left for Austin after his weeks
sojourn i'm the Valley.
Well Impressed With the Valley
Governor Neff has been in the Valley
several times. but this was the first
time he ever remained more than one or
two days. Dn this oc,nsi,n he had an
opportunity to thoroughly explore the
lower part Of the Valley. visiting Point
Isabel. the palm grove NJ Haib'S ranth.

FRAZER FOUND DEAD-FROZEN
 IN HIS BUNK
Trapper's Dog, Nestled Under His Masters Arm, Also Frozen
 To Death.

Lying fiat upon his back in his bunk with the blankets covering his head and his dog nestled under his arm against his side. the body of James Holden, trapper, was found March 23, by Godfrey Anderson, an other trapper in a lonely cabin in the Bowser Lake trapping grounds ir the wilderness. Both bodies were frozen solid and death had occurred some time between February 10 and March 27, according to news receiv- ed at Prince Rupert.
 son left the body and contents of the cabin as he had found them. British Columb bia officials are Investigating the affair. The body will be buried at the scene of death.
 According to Anderson S story he left Steward on August 4. 1921, and arrived at the trapping ground about the middle of the same month. Jas. Holden came into the country about the same time and put up a camp about 10 miles south of his camp at Bowser Lake The last time he had seen deceased alive was on Decem- ber 10, when he had visited his camp. Holden was then in good health and spirits. Between Feb. 0 and March 8. while Anderson was away from his camp, deceased evil dently had visited his cabin and took a little tobacco, his tracks being plainly evident. On March 3 it be- gan to snow heavily and quite three feet fell.
 On March 23rd Anderson went to call on Holden at his cabin and when he got near he noticed that no man s tracks were visible and he conclud- ed that Holden had left before the heavy snowfall of March 3. He lat CT noticed, however that deceased $ snowshoes and pack saddle were hanging on the outside wall of the cabin. He then suspected that all was not right and, on opening the flap of the tent. made the discovery,
 There was food in the cabin and il is believed by Anderson that Hoi- den. became sick. and, unable to move was frozen to death. The dog was evidently alive some time after his master. for tracks of the animal could be seen outside, Holden and Anderson were the only men in the country,

PREDICTED TIME OF
 TIDES AT NOME,
(By John A. Wilson)

The tides at Nome are more or less diurnal. that is, only one high water and one low water occur dur. ing a lunar day. The predicted times of high and low water will not always exactly correspond with the actual occurrence of the tides, as the water levels are sometimes moro de pendent on wind than on tide. For this reason no accurate prediction of the height of water at high or low tide can be given. The average height of higher high tides above mean lower low water for Nome is given as 6 1t in the government tide tables. All water levels ara referred to Mean Lower Low Water, A monument in the southwest cor ner of Barrack Square is 14 fl. above this datum An extreme range of IS it. in the water levels has been noted at Nome.
