GERMAN MADE POPPIES AND FOREIGN MILK BEING SOLD IS ALLEGATION Two unusual matters are to re ceive the attention and be investi here this week from the far north. Captain Gardner also was well known on up coast rivers during the Klondyke gold rush but was induced by the Hudson Bay Com pany to go over to the great Mckenzie River and take command of their big sternwheelcr "Distribu tor." He has been at the helm of this boat since 1919. Then he thought it was a good trip when he carried 230 tons of freight. On his last trip this season he carried 1400 tons which was "distributed" all along the river where there are settlements depending on this service for their winter supplies. Ordinarily the trip is from Fort Stewart down to Akalvik, a nice little jaunt of 1400 miles.

Akalvik is in the delta of the big river but three times this year Capt. Gard ner took freight down to the mouth of the Mackenzie river which is pretty far north. on his way to Edmonton after from the State of Washington.
