Wyoming City 100 Miles
From r. r. Gets Phone

Pinedale, Wyo.-A hundred miles
from a world Of Incompatible speed
and uncertain destiny, Pinedale, alone
in it's nook Of vastness, has refused to
be longer without proper telephone
facilities.
A hundred miles away steel tracks
reach out to either coast. Mighty
steel trains roll along the. way. The
whistles of locomotives announce their
movement upon the plains. The sound
dies away. Pinedale never hears it
a hundred miles away.
So blissfully detached this tiny In.
corporated town could not remain for.
the residents ask, how would they
know If the President died?
Connections from the old telephone
line had been poor, and long distance
calls were all but impossible. The
telephone company recently completed
a new copper circuit line. Communi-
cation with ali long distance points
will be immediate and clear.
In another desperate effort to link 1t
to the world officials of Pinedale have
announced the completion of high.
way from Pinedale to points both
north and south.

ESKIMOS EXECUTE
PURIFIER OF RACE"
Drown Youth Who Set Out to
Kill His People.

Ninnlpeg.-Believed by the North
west Mounted Police authorities to
have been a victim of a recurrence of
the wave Of religious mania which
swept over this lonely land about ten
years ago, a young Eskimo inhabitant
of the interior Of the southern portion
Of Bafin land became demented and
shot and killed his parents and a
young woman relation.
He shot at but missed his brother.
The Eskimo tribe of which he was
formerly law abiding member kept
him In close confinement through a
long winter, but in the spring. after
he had twice escaped their vigilance,
they pushed him through a hole and
drowned him beneath the ice Of the
subarctic.
Sergt. j. r. #. Wight, in charge Of
the detachment at Lake Harbor, re-
ported that last winter, accompanied
by Constable P. Dersch, he made a
long patrol through a section Of south
ern Baffin island, where white men
were unknown before the great war.
He learned the story from the tribe
in which the tragedy occurred.
The report stated that Mako Gliak,
a young man, became obsessed with
the idea he was purifier of his race.
He told his relatives he had heard a
voice from heaven telling him to kill
all his people. He promptly proceeded
to put his mission into operation.
As Mako was obviously under a
spell the Eskimos did not know what
to do with him. The nearest post,
Lake Harbor, was 500 miles away, and
they had no means Of making such
long journey with a mailman.
They bound him up with thongs Of
sealskin and kept him under guard in
an fgloo all winter. About March of
the following year members Of the
tribe decided that they could not keep
him any longer. They told police that
the men Of the tribe were all worn
out by this time in maintaining
sharp vigilance lest Mako should
escape and continue his crazy plan.
They summoned him before meet
ing Of the whole family one day and
told him he had to die. They gave
him his choice Of the manner Of
death. He could be shot, stabbed or
Observation-Disclosures he preferred.
But Mako did not wish to die, they
told police. However, his end was
decided upon, and hole was made in
the ice. He was pushed through this
and river currents carried him to his
death.

Alaska Believes Wave
of Arctic Rodents Near

Fort Yukon, Alaska. About once in
a decade a wave Of Jennings, small
Arctic rodents, sweeps across a part
Of eastern Alaska and northwestern
Canada. The last large number noted
was in the winter Of 1918, but there
are indications that they are again
numerous between here and Point
Barrow, especially in the region be-
tween the Chandalar and Porcupine
rivers.
Ten years ago jennings migrated
northward and near Point Barrow
thousands were drowned when they
followed leaders off the ice into the
Arctic ocean. Rivermen passing here
declared southwark movement met
similar fate in the Yukon river,
which the jennings attempted to
cross. The rodent Is about seven
inches long, with round gopher head,
black rat-like eyes, rich red-brown
fur and a stubby tail. A feature Of
the periodical increase of Jennings
noted by trappers is the abundance Of
lynx In the same localities.

He discovered q beautiful plot OF
land at Juan les Pins on the Riviera,
overlooked when the Riviera was
built up, but suited for the site Of
the Americans first casino. His wife
designed the large hotel there, and it
is estimated that Gould's profits were
at least $4,OOO,OOO. Then on his way
to Deauville he stopped at restau-

it. It has become the most famous

He went to Bagnolles-de-L'Orne for

vile smelling from sewage, but Gould
bought the lake and the hotel. He
dredged the lake, beautided it, built

by publicity brought the elite Of
French society to Bagnolles. 1t paid
him 200 per cent on his investment.
He expects the Mediterranean palace
