lack of small animals and birds. The
foxes and bears probably have re-
treated into the mountains, since the
coastal plain once was a great Eskimo
hunting ground. Formerly these Eski-
mos lived along the banks of the Col
vile. Their old, broken-down igloos,
pieces of clay pottery and broken bone
implements We're found. These peo-
pie probably migrated to the coast
many years ago, to be nearer the
traders and missionaries.
A curious fact noted by Fitzgerald
was that great stretches of the coun-
try explored by himself and his COM
panions was totally unknown even
to the most adventurous of the native
hunters. The members of the party
this Summer probably are the only
persons living, either white or Es-
kimo, who ever have looked upon
thousands of square miles of hill and
tundra.
On June 13 the work was tied in
with a previous survey of the central
part of the Colville Valley and the
party turned south up Etivluk River,
a large tributary of the Colville, which
is the. Mississippi of the American

Over white rapids and angry whirl-
pools and beneath undercut snow
banks the little group floated on,
through scenery never witnessed be-
fore by the eyes of white men. They
never knew what was around the next
bend. The current was treaCherouS.
There was no physician with the
party. An accident of any kind would
have meant disaster. Sometimes the
boats would strike rocky bar and
have to be lifted across. The dogs
followed along the bank, but in trying
to keep within sight of the boats they
would swim across the river many
times each day.
1t was a dreary E~ctic country dur
ing May, a place of great wastes of
snow and scrub willows. About the
middle of June came the Arctic sum-
mer with it's everlasting days, its great
masses of tiny flowers carpeting the
wastes, its long stretches of grassland
and its pleasant sunshine. Later there
were mosquitoes, never missing in the
Arctic summer, to take something

A low, broad pass was found at
the head OF the Etivluk, and a pOr-

explorers on the Aniuk River, one Of
the main tributaries of the NOatak.
The party descended the Aniuk about
80 miles and closed the new surveys
by tying in with earlier surveys OF
the Noatak.

While the Fitzgerald expedition was
the most adventurous of the Summer

parties. il was only one of six Alaskan
explorations in which new country
was discovered and mapped amid
thrilling adventures.

The explorers took to their heels
The wolf followed. 1t was nearly fiye

Yea, how thrice blessed is she that

Of its shocks and surprises.
Behold, by the Lord is man created.
by his mother is he modelled. But, by
his FIRST wife is he RE-modelcd,
tanned and civilized.
Lo, a mans First Wife Is the
steam-roller which straightforward him
out and smootheth down all his ways
the vacuum-cleaner which remoyeth
all his spots and blemishes and
bringeth out his natural color.
She is the ice-bag which reduceth
his egotism and subdueth his self
complacency; the mirror which
maketh him to see himself without
rose-colored illusions.
She spongeth out his past and dis
infecteth his record: she mappeth out
his future and establisheth his speed
limit. 60
She unsnarleth his digestion and re-
deemeth him from dyspepsia she
putteth the brakes upon his temper
and ironeth out his Impotence.
She weedeth out his clothes and
partcth him from his moth-caten col
