The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-03-26

A few weeks ago the Miner print
ed an item telling how DR.. Suther-
land with Aviator Rhodes made
trip to Sagnaga to administer to a
sick Indian girl.
Some writer, imbued with the
spirit of the occasion has enlarged
on the tale and has reproduced
events in a true movie thriller style.
While slghtly(?) overdrawn, the
story is good. Here is the tale as
printed in the Sunday News-Tribune
under Virginia date hne:
Through 70 miles of frigid sky,
high over an impossible wilderness
of forest where one halt of the mot
or would mean certain death; then
a daring ruse to foil an attacking
pack of ravenous wolves during a
forced landing on an ice-bound lake
and on again to little cabin in
the lonely borderland country where
the life of a young Indian girl is
at stake. Such was the race staged
recently by a lone aviator of the
Northland and frontier physician.
'The scene of this romantic cpl
sode of the Arrowhead country lies
in the primeval section of Mime
sofa north of Ely and Winton, bor-
dering upon, Canada. Its principal
characters are G.. H. DUSTY"
Rhodes, Virginia aviator ard stunt
flyer, DR.. II. N. Sutherland of Ely,
and "Paulice", 17-year-old redskin
maiden.
Containing all Of the elements of
a movie thriller or James Oliver
Curwood tale of the frozen north,
facts of this adventurous expedition
would put to shame the vivid imagi-
hetion of the most lurid fictionist.
Death Imminent.
''As the last hours of departing
year were slowly ebblng away, a
little Indian maiden prepared to
face the Great Spirit in a + ioe cabin
bordering Sagnaga lake.
"The nearest doctor was 10
miles away in Ely, 70 long mlies
through the bitter cold and deep
snow.
"Around her stood her parents
and a few trappers. Their crude
knowledge of medicine had failed to
restore the bloom to her cheeks.
Outside aid seemed impossible to
expect, the snowshoe trek through
the forests would occupy two days
of arduous toll. Death seemed i'm
minent.
Physician Receives Call.
The telephone bore the message
from Winton to Ely where DIR. Suth-
erland heard the news.
This was by no means the first
call for aid which had come out of
the wilderness to this veteran physi-
clan. But, perhaps, it was the most
urgent.
Realizing that he would be too
late to help if he attempted the trip
by foot, the kindly doctor enlisted
the aid of his friend DUSTY" Rhodes
who, with his airplane, had been

Birds as Prophets

In early days superstitiOus people
paid considerable attention to the
birds and their different cries, which
were believed to foretell events Thus
comes the old saying, "a little bird
told me-" Traces of this belief are to
be found in our own Old Testment,
where verse 20, Of chapter 10, Of Ec-
clesiastes, speaks of "fOr a bird of the
air shall carry the voice and that
which hath wings shall tell the mat.
ter" 1t is generally agreed that it is
from this belief In the universal
knowledge of birds, which, of course,
are supposed to see everything from
the sky--that we get this saying.

hole at the big end. Next day she
found a frog on the nest, its tongue

Unlike toads, frogs boast teeth, but are
not usually reckoned among egg

says that the art of making arrow

against the flint, which is accom-
plished by a quick pressure, not a

Cleaning Leather

A bandboX or satchel Of undressed
kid, when soiled by usage, may be
easily cleaned. The secret of restora-

over the surface. A very fine grade
OF sandpaper is required When this

material. Many kinds of feathers

way.

One of the numerous paintings
of the smaller size recently done
by the Coral Isle Studio is now
attracting much attention in the
windows of what was formerly
the Jefferson hotel on north Du-
val street. It is about 15x24
inches in size and is done in oil
colors. The subject is marine
or beach scene, with a young wo-
man in distress, as her canoe is
capsized in the surf and some
articles of feminine wearing APP
parel drifting toward the shore.
A few cocoanut palms in the fore
ground and vessels on the horizon
complete the picture, which the
artist says goes to show that paints
and pigments applied in the right
shades, besides skill and study,
may produce a marked effect on a
plain canvas, board or other sur
face.
