MAY STAY
Roald Amuudseu Might Not
Come Oat
Capt. Roald Amundsen, who is in
Dawson, might not come out this win
ter, but may return from Dawson to
his Tessel, theGjoa, in which he sailed
through the northwest passage and
which is now frozen in in the Arctic
ocean. It is claimed that Amundsen is
the drst man to ever sail a ship through
the northwest passage from ocean to
ocean.
A special dispatch of December 8,
from Dawson to the Pi^at-lntelligencer,
says:
"The Yukon government and the
Yukon Polar i-s itute are preparing to
send an icvitation to Capt. Amundsen
to be the guest of Dawsoa for several
days. Gov. Mclnnes and the police
commander tomorrow will send an in
vitation to Capt, Amundsen to come to
Dawson and make the return trip to
his ship in the Arctic ocean with the
Northwest mounted police patrol, which
will leave here Dec. 20 for Fort Mc
Pherson and Herschel island
"Capt. Amundsen is awaiting official
instructions from Norway before he
* will know whether he is to returo to
the Gjoa or go outside. Be will be in
tited to lecture in Dawson. He will be
le guest of Gov. Mclnnes while here.
Amundsen is recognized here as being
the foremost man in the public eye of
the world today.
"Information has been received here
that Amundsen cut across the country
afoot without even dogs until be could
get three animals aid a sled from In
dians 100 miles from Kag'.e City.
"This trip was made over an almost
unbroken trail ar.d the distance as
traveled was at the lowest 500 miles
and was made in just six weeks from
Herschel island."'

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology hoj> Proved that Dandruff Is
Canned by a Germ.
Science is donig wonders these days In I
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
:essful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. It Is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
Jandruff or scurf by digging into the
icalp to get at the root of the hair, where
;t saps the vitality: causing itching scalp,
'ailing hair, and Tinally baldness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
It Is the only destroyer of dandruff.
