KERR'S ILLUSTRATED
 LECTURE WELL RECEIVED

The illustrated lecture on Alaska and the Yukon by Adjutant Kerr last Friday night drew a full house. The audience were highly pleased with the many beautiful pictures of the Northland.
 The lecture was in the nature of a traYelogue from Seattle to skag- way by steamer, thence over the White Pass Railroad to Whltehorse, thence down the Yukon to Daw- son. Fort Yukon. Panama, return ing via Mt Mckinley on the Alaska Railroad.
 The pictures are all very enter taining and a number of them pos sess scientific value. The outstand- ing views shown in connection with the lecture were those of the midnight sun as seen at Fort Yu- kon north of the Arctic Circle.
 If the people throughout the United States could hear Adjutant Kerr's lecture and see his wonder full pictures it would go a long way toward dispelling the erroneous i'm pressions which people outside have about the Northland.

PAT MCBRIDE KILLED
 AT STEWART, BIG.
(From Portland Canal News.
 Stewart, B.CD

One of the most likable and best known old time miners and prospeetors of the camp, Patrick Mcbride, lost his life at II o'clock Thursday night by being buried under a quantity of snow that sloughed from over the portal of the Extenuate tunnel Mcbride and his partner. Alex Abrahams. had come out of the tunnel with a car of rock and dumped 1t. The latter had returned underground ahead of Mcbride and he. not appearing, Abrahams went out to investigate. The night was very stormy and the wind blew his light out. He could not dig through the snow single handed in the darkness and when he had aroused the camp and re- moved the snow, McBrides life was extinct
 Coroner Williams and Constable Potterton went up and brought downthe body No inquest has yet been called, nor funeral arrange ments made.
 Mcbride came here in 1919 and located some valuable mineral claims, among them being the present Munro group in which he had J. D. Munro and A. N. McDon- aid for partners. He was born in the north of Ireland and was about 53 years old.
 Pat Mcbride was well known i'll Wrangen, and his many friends here will learn with deep regret of his untimely death.

CIRCLE CITY, Alaska Two malamutes with their feet cut and bleeding appeared at the cabin of Ginnis Solomon, an Indian trap per on the Black River about 100 miles northeast of Circle. The dogs had notes tied to their collars but the stormy weather had rendered the writing undecipherable. The Indian fed the malamutes, and then hitched up a team of his own dogs and started out with thetwo mala
 mutes leading the way. After trav- cling for 12 hours he came to the cabin of Roy Fulter, a white trap per. Upon entering the cabin he found Fulter dead. The weather had not been stormy in the vicinity of Fulters cabin and the Indian could see where he had started out with his dog team and sled and then turned back again before sending the dogs out with mes sages calling for assistance. Full ter undoubtedly died from illness the nature of which will probably never be known. He was 33 years of age and a World War veteran.

MEXICO CITY-Along with the report of the diplomatic rupture, came a statement, that bars will be let down soon and shipment of arms permitted into Mexico. This would give the rebels a chance of success against the government of President Gales.
 The underlying reasons for the present crisis, are described as cen tering around two points. One, the discovery that President Gales of Mexico, is persisting in his en- deavors to help Doctor Sacasa gain control of Nicaragua. Second, the uncoyering of propaganda emanat- ing from New York, and apparent ly supplied by the Mexican consul, Arliro Elias. This propaganda is radical and opposed to the inter- ests of the American government.
 With so much secrecy maintain ed over the notes being exchanged by the two governments, full facts are impossible to obtain, but it is admitted in private conversation by the high officials, that America is near the end of it's diplomatic rope with Mexico.

A NEW INVENTION

It is said that a small machine has been invented which will an swer the telephone while the house wife is absent. This little machine answers all questions concerning the whereabouts of the lady of the house during her absence, provided that she will tell the machine be- fore she leaves. All it takes. so they say. is just hook up the little machine and tell it what to say when the telephone rings. During her absence each time the tele- phone rings it repeats what was told it. Some might think this would be a good way to tell just where the wife was, but no truth is vested in the machine It is all in the wife who dictates to it. It only tells what she told it to.
