EXPLORERHAS
GREAT FAITH
IN FAR NORTH
“History shows that the star of em
pire flows to the north," said Vilhjal
mur Stefansson, the famous explorer
of the frozen Arctic, in his address be
fore members of the Chamber of Com
merce and the Commercial Club and
the Hundred Per Cent Club at noon to
day in the Masonic Club rooms in the
Arcade building, says the Seattle
Times.
“The history of civilization shows
nations first living in countries near
the equator and then spreading north
ward. Also, oddly enough, each nation
which later gave way to a more north
erly neighbor raised the cry of ‘it’s too
cold to live comfortably there.’
“Rome replaced Greece as a world
empire, Spain, a country north of
Italy, when she assumed world dom
inr.tion thought Prance and England
worth little because of their cold cli
mate. As late as 1763 England hesi
tated to accept Canada from Prance
because it was a barren, cold region.
And so, history proves that civiliza
tion shows a tendency to move away
from the equator. Therefore, I wish to
say that Alaska and the virtually un
developed portions of Yukon territory
offer unlimited posslbilltes for the
future.”
Stefansson said he believes the fu
ture of Alaska will show it the world’s
grasing land, that the reindeer and
musk ox will take their places along
side of cattle and sheep in the world’s
markets, and that Seattle, the gate
way of Alaska, will prosper because of
this fact Next year, according to
Stefansson, die United States secre
tary of agriculture will propose legis
lation enabling this country to develop
domestic possibilities in its northerly
territory and men of adventurous dis
position will flock to the far north,
just as pioneer American plainsmen
were lured to the cattle grounds in the
early days of the west
At the home of H. C. Henry, 1117
Harvard Ave., N., Stefansson this
morning was informed that Archdea
con Hudson Stuck of Yukon territory
had received the Back Grant from the
Royal Geographical Society.
“I am pleased to hear it,” said the
famous explorer. “He is a delightful
fellow and deserves the honor.”
Stefansson explained that the Back
Grant is a sum of money bequeathed
by Sir George Back to men whose ex
plorations are of yalue to the world.
BALKANS APPRECIATE
RED CROSS RELIEF WORK
CETTINJE, Montenegro, April 10
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press).—This little Balkan country
has been tasting the benefits of Am
erican Red Cross relief work. Major
Edwin G. Dexter, of New York, and a
staff of forty-five assistants, including
physicians and nurses, have been
feeding the poor, caring for the sick
and instituting American sanitary
methods for several weeks. The re
sults have evoked warm expressions
of thanks from the government. Re
lief stations have been established at
Cattaro, Podgoritza, Nitshitz and Cet
tinje, and several hundred tons of
supplies have already been dis
tributed to the needy and to the hos
pitals.
The American and Red Cross flags
which fly from the Red Cross Mis
sion’s warehouse in this ancient and
picturesque city have excited wide in
terest among the Montenegrins. The
members of the mission have been
made the guests of the Montenegrin
government.
TONS OF SAUSAGES FOR
CZECHOSLOVAK TROOPS
CHELYABINSK, Russia, April 10
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press).—Kenneth Miller, formerly
head of the John Hubs settlement at
New York city, is now directing an
American Young Men’s Christian As
sociation enterprise at Chelabinsk
which is greatly appreciated by the
Czechoslovak troops. Having lived
in Bohemia he knows what best
ploases the Czech army and so he Es
tablished a sausage factory and bak
ery. The sausage factory is turning
out tons of sauages and does a busi
ness of 300,000 rubles monthly. The
work is done by twenty-five German
and Austrian prisoners.
Every day the bakery is making
eight thousand of the rolls so popular
in Prague. Everything is sold at cost.
In this practical manner, Mr. Miller
has “made good" with the Bohemians
and the people generally. It was at
Cheliabinsk that the Czecho-Slovak
troops inaugurated their campaign
against the Bolsheviki and Magyars.
