On the other hand the high prices
demanded by cafes and business
houses make the high pay neces-
sary. He said it was impossible to
buy any sort of meal for less than
dollar. A T-bone steak dinner
costs around $3.50 and prices on
clothing and other articles are about
on an even par
In speaking of the particular prop
erty on which he worked he said
the machinery had been moved in
only last summer. It had been
shipped as far north as possible by
boat and then taken inland by
cats. All of the canned food
which the men eat is transported
overland by this method and fresh
meat and mail are brought in by
plane. Men are all transported to
the job by plane, too A great por-
ton of the time the men use rein
deer for meat. Mr. Fitzpatrick said
the meat is not exceptionally good
for the deer have nothing except
moss and branches to eat during the
greater part of the year.
When asked about the fish and
game situation in that section Mr..
Fitzpatrick replied, I'VE really didn't
have much time to spend hunting or
fishing for we kept busy on the job
every possible moment. Just be-
fore leaving this fall we did have a
few hunting trips but bagged
nothing of consequence. There are
great herds of reindeer but there is
little thrill in killing them for they
are more or less domesticated and
it is practically the same as going to
a pasture and killing a COW. There
are quite number of bear in this
region and it is good sport to hunt
them. A person who has never seen
an arctic hare would be surprised
at the size of them. They average
about the size of a large spaniel
dog.
The fishing is nothing to speak
Of for the water in the creeks and
rivers is usually filled with mud
for IT is used in the placer mining
operations. The largest fish | saw
caught was only about IA inches
ong and was a grayling."
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said the drinking
water was very poor, for it tasted
# bones and other decayed ma
.erial.
In the mining operations there are
many strange things unearthed. He

Man prides himself on his intel
hgence, but many important things
are not done by man until he is fore
ed, by pressure of circumstances
and necessity, to do them. Man has
wasted wanton ly the timber of this
country and has tardily awakened
to the fact that reforestation is nee
essary. He has mined the soil until
much of it has, or soon will be, I'M
able to produce enough to pay the
taxes and operating expenses. He
has destroyed, by various means, the
water resources of the country. He
has ruthlessly destroyed wild life,
until it is in danger of extinction.
With all this he struts about and
brags upon his intelligence. He
seems to forget that if this country
is going to escape drouth it must
have water stored in the soil. If it
Is going to store up water in the soil,
conditions must be favorable for
this. There must be forests on the
hill sides. There must be some
marshy places. There must be some
streams that wind and meander
their way to the rivers. Man is GO
ing someday to discover that he
cannot drain the water off the sur
face and at the same time hold it in |
the subsol. He is going to discover
that he cannot straighten the |
streams that the water may rush
to the rivers and thence to the sea
and then expect much water to be
held IN the soil. He is going to dis
cover, some day, that when there is
no moisture in the subsoil, the re-
lief that comes from rain lasts
only a few days, and vegetation be-
gins to wither because there is no
reserve moisture in the soil upon
which 1t may draw.
