Experience Wild Thrills on Trip
 North EnrOute to Teller

pr. 0. A. Braafladt and Mrs. Braatladt experienced some wild thrills and narrow escapes on their recent dog team trip up the coast enroute to Teller. They return ed this week. not having reached Teller. due to storms and blizzards near Cape Douglas.
 While enroute up the coast they travelled on Boring Sea. but after several cracks were heard they inn mediately made for shore. While getting over the rough ice near the beach Mrs. Braafladt had close call when she went thru some thin ice She called for her hus- band and he helped her back up on the ice again.
 Later they ran into a blizzard and were forced to "sleep cut" in the open one night While crossing a river Dr. Braafiadt slipped and fell in up to his waist but held onto the sled and was dragged out of the icy water. They stayed in shelter cabins, and when it be- came apparent that the stormy weather would prevail they turn ed around and started home. For a short trip they had an exciting time, packed to the brim with thrills and dangers of the | trail. II has been several years since critical experience on the trail has been turned into tragedy. lLet us hope the days of danger ous dog trips are over. This is a | bad season of the year, with very
 little daylight in which to get any
 where and sometimes accidents oc- Icur. whereby man loses his life on the old-time dog trail, when. llater in the spring conditions are ideal for travelling.
