 Found in North
Major L. P. Burwash Returns from Flying Expedition with Memen-
 toes of Franklin Expedition


 FORT MURRAY. Alta, Sept. Is "A pair of bearskin trousers, a blue jacket and part of tent coY- ering, relics of the Sir John Frank lin expedition of S5 years ago, were brought here today from King William Island by Major L.. T. Burwash, pilot, and w. E. Gill; bert
 The relics, the men reported, were found in rock caves, showing evidence of footing by natives. Nu- merous graves in orderly rows were found, indicating that the 169 members of the Franklin expedi- tion had died one by one and were buried by their companions.
 Scurvy and starvation were as- sumed to be the cause of the mems dying in the far north.
 Burwash and Gilbert flew over much land never before seen by white men. The purpose of their trip was to observe the shift of the magnetic pole and to seek the Franklin expedition. relics.
 The aviators said that when the plane crossed the magnetic pole, the needle of the compass dipped violently.
 The Franklin expedition set out S5 years ago in two ships to find the northwest passage. Major "Lockie" Burwash is well known to several former Yukoners who now reside in Wnangell. Both Capt. Sid Harrington and A. W. H. Smith were associated with him at various times during the Klondike excitement Burwash was mining recorder at the mouth of Stewart River in 1899. Burwash Creek, in the Kluane country, was named for him.

LAUGH AND THE WORLD
 LAUGHS WITH YOU

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote those words she expressed a great truth. We like and admire those who amuse and entertain us but have a natural antipathy for those who are grouchy and cheerless. This is especially true in the the atrical world. The long-faced crepe hangers are avoided and gen. erally die in poverty, while the bril- liant comedians like Charlie Chap lin, Harold Lloyd and others reap fame and fortune.
 Knowing that everyone enjoys fun and laughter, the entertain ment Committee of the Bills Club selected the comedy, "The Whole Towns Talking" for its forthcom- ing theatrical event. The play is a real genuine farce based on mod ern American life, and it's sole mis- sion on the stage is to make peo- pie laugh. The authors made it le- gitimately funny but never ridicu- lous. All the theater going public of this entire district will no doubt make arrangements to enjoy this excellent show, which will be pre- sented by an all-star cast of Wran- gell players next Tuesday, Septem Der 23, at the Coliseum at matinee and evening performances.

 Wealthy sportsmen who go into this country pay $2OOO a trip for one man and $35O0 a trip for two men on 40-day hunt, This in- cludes the services of a pack train of 16 horses. Ten parties were al- ready out when we arrived at Tele- graph Creek.
 The sportsman Is guaranteed "a shot at each specimen. There are two kinds of goats, two caribou. one moose. three bear and three sheep. The sheep are the most diff ficult to approach owing to the great height of their grazing lands and their swift sure-footedness, jumping from crag to crag.
 Caribou were unknown in that section 20 years ago, but today they are so plentiful that guides care fully select the largest psecimens, making enviable trophies for mil lionaire sportsmen who visit that country every year.

His Dream Mine

One miner on the river is said to have spotted his prospect after combining a dream with an actual occurrence. One day, while bend ing over a chart, small hair fell from his head, pointing to cer- tain spot on the chart. He is now working claim in that location.
 The Harrington Transportation Company has operated steamers on the Stikine River since 1916. They maintain four boats at the present time. Two boats left Wrangell up stream the day we did. The Hazel B. No. is the company's largest and newest boat, built in Wrangell. It is capable of carrying forty peo- pie and has spacious accommoda- tions.
 We were fortunate in having with us Captain Sid Burlington, of pleas ing personality, and Ted Sterling jovial skipper of Hazel B. No. 4, both former Yukon river boat oper- ators. Under their watchful eyes we were given the utmost in com fort and entertainment.
 Formality and restriction art thrown to the winds on these boats and everybody is captain" De licious eats were piled so high or the tabel it was sometimes difficult

to see the person sitting opposite.
 Bonfres on the Beach
 Each night the river boat tied up at a convenient beach where huge bonfire was prepared which sent it's flames skyward. Around the fire passengers and crew enter tained with stories of the river, its fascinating life and people. Now and then we heard the bark and howl of a coyote.
 In the old days on the Yukon it was necessary to stop for wood each night to keep the boat running. This has become a tradition, and riverboat men still follow the GUS tom of landing for the night al- though wood for fuel is no longer necessary.
 Dan McCulloch, native pilot, has perhaps made more trips on the Stikine river than any living man. He knew every sandbar on the riv- CT long before the steamers began operating regularly.
 In the old days under the leader ship of the famous Chief Shakes of Wrangell, native boys fought their way up stream in ten days Three boys in one canoe could haul load of 21a tons. Often canoes were ov- erturned with tragic results while endeavoring to negotiate the swift rapids.
 White Birch Trees
 The Hazel B. unloaded over 200 tons of freight at Telegraph Creek. Much of it was marked "C-10-261," l" indicating post No. C-10 and year of operation 261 of the Hudson Bay Company.
 Our party made a trip by auto to Tahltan, an Indian village 12 miles from Telegraph. This scenic route rivals any in Alaska and takes one through a beautiful for est of white-banked trees, through open fields and down a former lake bed.
 We passed pack horse corrals, outdoor caches and abandoned vil- lages. In places the land resembled a country road in New England.
 The road winds around the edge of a canyon from which we gazed down 1000 feet into fast flowing waters. This canyon is one of the longest in the world. It extends 50 miles into the interior.
 Guides Kept Busy

GOOD STIKINE STORY BY
 MISS FLORENCE T0BIN IN
 KETCHIKAN SUNDAY PAPER

One of the best articles ever writ ten about the Stikine country ap- peared in the Ketchikan Chronicle of Sunday, September 14. Miss Florence Tobin. author of the ar ticIe, made the trip to Telegraph Creek on the Hazel B. No. about three weeks ago, in company with MT. and Mrs. E. L. Fisher and Mrs. J. W. Cordell, all of Ketchikan. Her impressions of the trip are graph ically described under the caption; Up and Down the Stikine, Alas kan River of Rugged Beauty and Charm.
 Miss Tobin has an eye for beauty and a nose for news" If she has overlooked anything of interest be- tween Wrangell and Telegraph Creek we have not discerned it. Elk cerpts from her article follow:
 In the Gold Rush Days
 Wrangell was the first of the Al aska towns to experience the pres ence of stampeders in search for gold. About 1880 it was the out fitting point for 25,OOO miners en route to the Cassiar district in Brit ish Columbia.
 In 1898 there were 30 steamers, all stern wheelers, plying the riv- CT, of which 15 were operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. As boats could not pass each other go- ing through the narrow conyons, signal men were stationed in look outs to keep boats notified as they passed through one at a time.
 Today Wangell still handles all the freight which is shipped up the river to Telegraph Creek, some of which is trucked 72 miles overland to the mining section of Dease lake.
 In winter dog sleds haul the pas sengers and freight up and down the river. The dogs and dog sleds are transported by boat between the mouth of the river and Wran- gell.
 Jacksons lodge has the only fire side moose in the world. A pet moose has been around the home stead since it was but a few days old. She was out for a tramp in the woods and we did not get a glimpse of her, but Miss Moose of ten pokes her nose into the door of the homestead and even walks into the cabin when the door is open.

 Murder Will Out which com prises one-half of the bill for We'd nesday, Thursday and Friday, is an adaptation of The Purple Hero graphs by Murray Leinster.

 The picture has an unusually strong cast including Jack Mulhall, Lila Lee, Noah Beery, Malcolm MacGregor, Fully Marshall and Alec E. Francis.

 Zane Grey's stories are the out standing tales of Western life today.
