A TRAGEDY UF There is a saying that one-half of the world does not know how the other halt lives. How true this is few ‘of us really know because but rarely do we have an opportunity to invest!- gate “the other half.” , Eenjoying all the comforts of civilization, keeping warm in winter by means of many modern inventions in our homes, hav- ing the best of food, Little? can we appreciate, for instance, ous, hard, soetimes dangerous life of the trapper in the Northland who with dog team or else backpacking penetrates a wild, desolate, unpopu- lated region there to build a cabin and pit his skill against the wild animals that he may secure a few dollars. Hunger,cold, extreme hard- ships, long winter nights, loneliness, sickness are a few of the things that this hardy frontiersman may have to combat and of these you and I per- haps. will know but little during our Ufetime. ‘The Northland sees some great dramas, some terrible tragedies each year. One‘ot them, which I stumbled ‘pon while in Alaska, I want to tell you about. ‘The details of this tragedy come from the diary of @ trapper who died. in @ littie known and rarely vis- ited reg’on called Drv Bay, which is off the steamer routes lying between Junea ind Yukatat Bay. This is a sreat “game country, but a hard one. There are practically no settlements. A giant {ce field estimated at hun- dreds of miles in length runs along this coastal region. Bear, lynx, goats, wolverines and other animals abound here. It 1s a section of primeval wilderness, beautiful {n summer with flowers at the foot_of the glaciers, salmon tngghe ) and a warm sun over! . In the winter it is a different story, as you shall see when you read th’s diary of a man who lost a fight against sikness and one of these winters. This secluded region is the setting for our story and into 't comes V. §., alone, the trapper whose diary will give you some idea of:the fights outdoorsmen sometimes, make in the far north. Picture him with. his packs of irzps and food, weak from illness, pushing his way up the river in Dry Bay. Then read the following excerpts from his diary found’ by two rescuers four months after his death, - The Diary. Oct. 4—Getting sick packing, now looking for a camping place.

Joe Moore, New York, international Indoor titleholder and former national outdoor champion, is skating in bet- ter form than usual and also will be a strong contender for the title. Moore is a great sprinter, but lacks the stamina in the long races, The rest of the field ts selected from among the best skaters of St. }Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, Milwau- koe, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, Montreal, abd Quebeo, all of the cities having representatives in all the events.
