Carl Forsberg, a well known old
timer of the Kuskokwim district died
recently at the East Fork roadhouse,
23 miles from Medfra, where he had
been located for the past couple of
years. Mr. Forsberg had been sick
since last fall since which time he
had gradually wasted away. The na
ture of his illness was uncertain, some
j saying that it was cancer of the stom
ach while others believing it was tu
berculosis.
Fred Spencer and a few others in
cluding Vance McDonald, who was re
turning to Nenana, .went up from
Medfra to the East Fork roadhouse,
where brief funeral services were held
and near which the body of the old
timer was laid in its final resting
place.
\WHO KNOWS IF IT BE TRUE?
Amundsen’s flight has revived dis
cussions concerning previous explo
1 rations in the far north. Prof. Bach
of Berlin contends that Peary missed
the Pole entirely and says Dr. Cook
came as near it as Peary did. We
suggest sending a senate committee
up there to investigate.

ditions in Canada which have been
appearing in the British press, which
it is asserted is hurting the Dominion

Reduce the High Cost of Motoring
With A Tire that Has a Reputation
l
Uninterrupted Service!
You can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You got it
with Lambert “Trublpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ter*,
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.
