FIRST WHITE WOMAN TO
 ENTER kLONDlkE NOW IN
 JOHANNESBURG, AFRICA

Mrs. Ulstra Mcdonald, former res ident of Dawson, writes the Dawson News from Johannesburg, South Ali rica, where she and her husband have been for the past twenty years. The letter recites the experience of the writer (she was then a bride of less than IS years old) and her husband in reaching the Klondike by the Teslin trail, leaving the steamer at Wran gell and going up the Stikine. Five months were required to reach Daw son from Wrangell. The writer tells of how Swift Water Bill' Gates gave her the glad hand on her arrival at Dawson early in the summer of '9S and makes inquiry for many of the oldtimers, a great number of whom are now dead. Mrs. Mcdonald was the first woman to enter the interior via the Stikine Teslin route.

BODY OF MISSING
 STEWART MAN
 FOUJNDIN WATER

The mystery surrounding the dls- appearance of Norman Mckenzie, who had been missing from his usual haunts in Stewart for several weeks, was solved last week with the ind ing of his remains by Chas. Knipple in the headwaters of Portland Canal, a short distance below the mouth Of Bear River.
 The body was lying in shallow water near a float located short distance from the end of the old wharf.
 Despite the long emersion, the body was in a good state of preservation and easily recognized by those who knew him in life.
 The remains bore no marks indl- eating violence and it is the general view that the unfortunate man was the victim of accidental drowning.
 Mckenzie was last seen close to month ago, when he left the cabin ot d ITl0Uu III SlcW dl NlII Nlioiii AAC Ahe"N been visiting to go to one of the stores to make some purchases. He intend ed to return to spend the rest of the evening with his friends, but he fail ed to make his appearance. So far as could be learned he was not seen afterward until his mud covered body was discovered by Knipple.
 When the body was taken from the water it was found that the pockets and other openings in his clothing were packed with mud. This is be- lieved to indicate that the deceased met his death by falling into Bear River, the remains being carried down stream to tide water.
 Mckenzie was a carpenter by trade and well-known in Hyder and Stewart.

(1E0L0CIST SCOPES !AT IDEA CINTINENTS
 WERE OCEAN BEDS

CHICAGO, Jan. 12-The contin- !ents Atlantic and Gondwanaland. which scientists have said spanned the space now covered by the waters of the Atlantic, connecting the west ern hemisphere with Africa hun dreds of thousands of years ago, are little more than geological fantasies, according to Prof. R. T. Chamberlain, University of Chicago, geologist.
 And, what is more," declares Prof. Chamberlain, ''the present continents were never ocean beds, as has been supposed.
 ''Our continental areas have been continental areas several million years,' the Chicago geologist con- tends. He sattes there have been changes, but such changes have been slight. The Atlantic ocean, he cites, for example, was but little farther eastward three million years ago than it is today.
 Prof. Chamberlain, however, finds that the numerous disconformities in the records of rock strata show that these submerged areas have been transient and shifting
