THE FATE OF A
KLONDIKER KNOWN
DAWSON, Jan.—Wliat seems to
' be a definite indication of the fate
of Hubert Darrell, well known Arc
tic explorer and former Klondike
miner and prospector, was secured
recently on the Arctic coast by
Bishop Stringer. Darrell had trav
«led, trapped and mined in and
about Dawson for years before go
ing to the Mackenzie valley. The
traces of him were in the vicinity
of Anderson river, eastward from
the Mackenzie Two or three years
♦ ago natives brought in word that
they had found an inscription on a
tree in that locality which they
took to be his farewell message.
Bishop Stringer this summer met
the natives who saw the inscription
and had them show him a copy.
They could not read English, but
had made a copy of the letters as
well as they could. The bishop re
ports that he learned that a camera
and other equipment were found
which would indicate that Darrell
perished after the inscription was
written and that at the time of the
writing the man was in no danger.
Darrell is supposed to have per
ished in tho winter of 1810 and
1911. Bishop Stringer spent many
hours with the natives who saw
him alive. He had his camp on
the Anderson river, ten or fifteen
miles from the camp of the Eski
mos, whom ho visited for the last
time about November 15, 1910. In
the following spring a visiting Es
ki found Darrell had left his camp
and on a tree he made a copy of
the following inscription.
1910
Got frozen 112
October 4th
Leave here
today November 24
Westward
For Mackenzie 10
River
Hubert Darrell.
Biabop Stringer interpreter this
to read: “1910. Oot frozen on
Oct. 4th. Leave here today, Novem
ber 24, westward for Mackenzie
river." Darrell left his camp and
waa never seen again. In March,
1916, an Eskimo found his camera
and some other articles in a cache
fifty miles awry, and signs of a
camp, but the explorer’s bedy was
not found.

UNREST SPREADS
IN GERMANY
BERNE, Jan. 15.—Significant as
to the spirit that prevails in some
circles in Germany is the latcrt is
sue of the Kolnische Vodkszeitung,
always a supporter of ihe claim
lhat the German people are behind
the annexationists and want no
peace, but one bought with the
sword. It says:
"If one rides on German rail
roads, if one goes to the cafes
and pubiic places of the big cities
wlure one moots our soldiers com
ing from or into the field, one can
hear again and again words and
sentences from the Socialistic press
that actually are a great danger for
the determination to hold out for
the unity and unanimity in the
army and behind the front, for the
desire to be victorious and see it
through.
LONG TRIP FOR
A MURDERER
DAWSON,— A journey of 1,800
• miles, which it will take all winter
to complete has been undertaken
by Corporal Conway of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police in order
that an Eskimo accused of killing
his wife may be brought to justice.
Corporal Conway started from
Hersche! Island, according to
Bishop 1. C. Stringer, who brought
the news of ihe slaying here, and
went first to Cape Bathurst, which
is 400 miles from the island.
He expects to bring one witness
as well rs the accused man back to
Herschel. The principals in the
crime are said to belong to the
blond Eskimo tribe.
Another difficult journey has
been undertaken by Inspector

ters west of the Rockies, and there is no roason in our mind,

the fresh killed chickens.
We gather thp livo chickens at our Poultry and Egg buying
stations at Petaluma, and after being railk fed they arc kil
led and dressed.
The chickens is then cut in four parts and put in cans, and
cooked under a process which rotains its fine fresh flavor. We
pack a complete half chicken in the 1 1-2 lbs. cans, and a ocm
plctc whole chicken in the 3 lbs. cans, bone and all.
Wo arc'also putting out a superior Chicken Soup with Rice,
which in our estimation, is above reproach.

CHICKEN. No. 1 1-2 lbs. cans, per dozen $8.25, per can 75c.
CHICKEN SOUP WITH RICE. Per doz. $1.50, per can 15c.

future development are ‘paid by the
big industrials’ or ‘are serving capi
