TORTY-EIGHT years ago today a
- gaunt Army lieutenant observed
what he thought would be his
Il last birthday anniversary amid
the desolate and tragic sur
roundings Of an Arctic camp which
had become, for several of his men, a
rendezvous with death.
1t was grim birthday dinner that
Lieut. Adolphus w. Greely consumed
that year. Instead of enjoying re-
past, he munched a precious morSel
of food as he conferred with his top
sergeant, David L. Brainerd regarding
the rationing of the meager residue
of food which separated the survivors
from starvation.
Today Greely and Brainerd, both
long since retired as general officers
of the Army, and now the only living
members OF the half-dead band OF
seven survivors of the Cape Sabine
tragedy, will meet again for birth
day feast under gayer conditions.
In the cozy dining room of Gen.
Greely's quaint old Georgetown home,
at 313l o street, the two veterans of
one of the saddest epics of the frozen
North will turn their thoughts back to
their joint adventure of half CEN
tury ago.
Brainerd to Be Only Guest.
1t will be Gen. Greely's 88th birth
day anniversary. His old friend, Gen.
Brainerd, will be the only guest present
at the dinner, in addition to members
of the family. The noted officers will
have ample opportunity to hark back to
what Gen. Greely characterizes as that
hideous dream"
1T does seem just like a dream-a
Gen. Greely declared yes
terday in an interview. Still the pic
ture of good health, the white bearded
explorer bears his advanced years well.
Leaning back reflectively in COM
Portable chair, the general continued:
"Of course, 1t was q long time ago
nearly fifty years-and one is apt to
forget some of the things. As I look
back on it now, the whole thing seems
unreal, as if it never happened"
1t was nightmare that really hap
pened, however-that fateful trip into
the then unknown fastnesses beyond
the Arctic Circle. Greely, with a party
of rs hardy men, set out to estalish a
Far North base in connection with an
movement to open a path
to the North Pole. He started out in
1881 and succeeded in reaching what
was then the northermost point visited
by white man, SO degrees and "a
minutes.

SEWARD |s UNDER OBLIGATION ID KODIAK
 CITIZENS, NOW HERE

Seward will, on the 27th day of the present month, be under Obli- gation to Kodiak in the sum and amount of $850 On the 18th day of this December month there arrived here from Valdez the following persons whose names are:
 Mrs. Mary Gable, Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson and son; Mrs. Hartman and son; Annie Heitman, Jimmie Heitman, Patrick Hughes Chris Matsen, Ernie Vogen, Chas Cook, and A. F. Stowe.
 These people were all, excepting the last named, witnesses in cases tried in the U. s. District Court. They were given mileage from Ko- diak to Valdez and return and the per diem compensation from the time they left Kodiak, Nov. 12, un- til their return home which will not be sooner than Dec 29.
 Their pockets are fairly bulging with money and they are spending it in Seward with reckless prodi- gality. They are buying presents for belated Christmas. They are attending every show, renting apartments and hotel rooms, eat ing at restaurants and even re- ceiving hospital treatment for minor ailments to say nothing of the many other ways by which one can separate himself from the "coin of the realm"
 Now, the only way Seward can return the favor is for ten of it's good people whose pockets also bulge with cash, to take a trip to Kodiak, remain over a boat or two and enjoy the balmy atmos- phere, gentle zephyrs and the rad iant sunshine of the famous island. A Kodiak citizen

 Reference was made by the speaker to the fact that the Ana conda, Kennecott and Phelps Dodge organizations now own fab ricating plants capable of consump- tion of nearly as much copper as normally is produced within the United States. He stated his ex- pectation that by means of the tar if the normal demand within the nation will warrant operation of it's mines.
