there was nothing there but the personal be longings of a family A couple of deer parkas (skin coats) were in one corner ish and deer bones were scattered about pairs of boots and greasy and black parkas I found a rifle there so long It was all rusty whoje thing looked as If It had been left Just that way by people who expected to come back But they hadn't come back went outside and looked over the rest of the camp I tell you I was puzzled I figured there had been about 25 people In the camp but all signs showed the place hadn't been lived in for nearly 12 months As I strolled about with those two walking skeletons of dogs following me I found tne otner tents similar state Recalls "Evil Spirit "I tried to figure out where Eskimos had gone to' They hadn moved to a new territory or they would have taken their equipment especially their guns and their dogs Then I thought of the Eskimos' 'evil spirit' Tornrark who has an ugly man's face with two long tusks stick ing up from each side of the nose The natives live in teff of Tornrark and they wear charnit to ward him off I thought about Tornrark and I had to make an effort to put the picture out of my mind walked Into another tent

the most puzzling things of all Grave Is Riddle was an Eskimo grave with a cairn built of stones But for some reason the grave had been opened The stones had been pulled off of one side and there was nothing in side the calm at all I had no way of telling when It had been opened or what had been done with the body It had once contained And I figure out why It had been desecrated "I stayed around all afternoon try ing to figure things out There were no signs "of any struggle Everything looked peaceful But the air seemed deadly I caught a few fish out of the lake and gave them to the two dogs and then moved on I didn't want to spend a night there" During the season Labelle visited a dozen or more Eskimo camps but In none of them could he find anyone who knew anything of the deserted camp Most of the Eskimos when he told them about It blamed Torn rark and let It go at that Probe Deepens Mystery Officers of the Northwest Mounted Police trying to trace the lost tribe are equally puzzled They say the tribe may have perished In a bliz zard while off on a caribou hunt al though admitting that It Is unlikely that all the women and children would have gone along Pestilences occasionally strike Eskimo but In that case there would have been bodies One queer clew did come to light but It hasn't lessened the puzzle A tribe living about 150 miles north of the abandoned camp has an adopt ed 10 year old Eskimo boy who seems to have wandered into camp one day a few months ago and who does not belong to any of the' nearby camps But the boy and the tribe are reticent about things and nobody has learned anything them so far Another time an Eskimo named Saumek was brought down to a hos pital on the Hudson Bay railway for treatment for frozen legs It was thought that he might know some thing about It so after a long search an Eskimo was found who could speak dialect and he be gan to question him But Saumek refused to talk about it mentioning Tornrark mysteriously and refusing to answer any questions It occurred to the authorities that Saumek might talk If he got Intoxi cated So his Eskimo questioner was given a quart of whisky and told to ply Saumek with It This too fail ed: Saumek refused to touch a drop Like most Eskimos he did not like the taste of It So any knowledge that Saumek might have remained a secret The police are doing their best to unravel the mystery They may suc ceed on the other hand the Arctic is full of mysteries The northern lights have seen queer sign is but the northern lights keep their se crets Danville Machins Works Electric welding 215

Ser vice remarks and the everlasting si lence of the regions under the Arctip Circle cloaks some strange mysteries But the northern lights do not tell of the queer sights nor does the Arctic silence get vocal about Its mysteries There Is nothing to do usually but guess ar up in the heart of one of tne most lonely places on earth In the Lake Anglkunl country 500 miles northwest of the port of Churchill on Hudson Bay a whole tribe of Es kimos has vanished Somewhere somehow the endless desolation of northern Barren Lands haswallowed up 25 men women and children It is one of the most puzzling mys teries that has ever come down out of the Arctic The news of It has Just reached The Pas on the fringe of civilization It was discovered when one Joe Labelle a roving trapper of the Bar ren Lands came upon tne tnoe abandoned camp Its tents made of rarihmi skins were still standing In side were hides clothing cooking utenslls even rlfles the most prized possessions of any Eskimo There was no sign of violence no sign of trou ble The place was simply empty Mounted Police Join Search The Royal Northwest Mounted Po lice have taken up the hunt and white trappers have been asked to be on the lookout But nothing so far has been learned Joe Labelle admits' that stumbling on the abandoned village gave him the creeps A man get the creeps readily when he spends months at a time trudging by his lone across the Barren Lands where there Is nev er a housg or a human being or any thing to break the whlte rlmmed si lence but Joe Labelle got creepy Just the same The empty sky and the silent rocky plain held a mystery and the trapper like It Even when he spied the tent col ony Labelle says he sensed that there was something wrong He had beach ed his canoe on the edge of the lake a hundred yards or so distant and he let out a hall of greeting as he walked up But there was no answer Then two half starved dogs crawled out and came towards him They did not snarl and bark as husk ies usually do with a stranger they crept up whining dolefully The EVERY person wants to know the truth We all want the facts If there is a best kind of milk to buy of course you want to know about it AU right then here are the facts and truths about pasteurized milk as shown by the scientific world and the reasons why you should use PASTEURIZED MILK Reason No 2 appeared in last week's paper Reason No 3 Pasteurized tnilk is pure wholesome milk It is milk which has ben heated to a temperature of 142 145o and held at this temperature for thirty minutes and then cooled immediately This is done so as to make the milk absolutely safe for human consumption Heating the milk up to this temperature kills all possible disease germs might be in the milk as a result othe cows which produce the milk being infected with tuberculosis or the men who handle the milk having colds sore throats or some other contagious disease such as typhoid diphtheria scarlet fever Reason Nd 4 and 5 will appear in this
