VANISHED ESKIMO TRIBE GIVES NORTH MYSTERY STRANGER THAN FICTION D' that Joe Labelle, trapper, found low, a typical Eskimo family like tho se bodies of seven dead dogs were lying around. A "Village of the "There were six tents, made out of skin," he says. "I'll admit that when I went in the first tent I was a little Jumpy. looking around, I could see the place hadn't known any human life months, and I expected to find corpses inside. But there was nothing there but the personal belongings of a family.

A couple of deer parkas (skin coats) were in one corner. Fish and deer bones were scattered about. There were a few pairs of boots, and an iron pot, greasy and black. Under one of the parkas I found a rifle. It had been there SO long it was all rusty.

"The whole thing looked as if 1t had been left just that way by people who expected to come back. But they hadn't come back. "I 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 the other tents in 8 similar state. Recalls "Evil Spirit" "I tried to figure out where those Eskimos had gone to. They hadn't 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 sticking up from each side of the nose. The natives live in fear of Tornrark, and they wear charms to ward him off. I thought about Tornrark, and I had to make an effort to put the picture out of my mind. "I walked into another tent. One side had been ripped to ribbons by the wind.

On the floor were three fox skins, made worthless by rain and snow and mud. Under them was another rusty rifle. Those two rifles seemed strange--the last thing an Eskimo ever parts with is his rifle. One of the dogs brushed against my legs and whined, and I thought of that Tornrark again and got outside. "I went down to the lake and wonderes if the whole tribe had got drowned.

But that sounded slly, unless they had all commtted suicide, which didn't seem likely. Then I found one of the most puzzling things of all. Grave Is Riddle. "It 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 inside the cairn at all. I had way of telling when it had been opened, or what had been done with body It had once contained. And I couldn't figure out why it had been desecrated. "I stayed around all afternoon, trying to figure things out. There were in the Arctic wilderness Is shown of the tribe that vanished.

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 anyone who knew anything of the deserted camp.

Most of the Eskimos, when he told them about it, blamed Tornrark and let it go at Probe Deepens thastery. Officers of the Northwest Mounted Police, trying to trace the lost tribe, are equally puzzled. They say the tribe may have perished in a blizzard while off on a caribou hunt, although admitting that it is unlikely that all the women and children would have gone along. Pestilences occasionally strike Eskimo camps but in that case there would have been bodies. One queer clew did come to light, but it hasn't lessened the puzzle.

tribe living about 150 miles north of the abandoned camp has an adopted 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 from them SO far. Another time an Eskimo named Saumek was brought down to a hospital on the Hudson Bay railway for treatment for frozen legs. It was thought that he might know something about it, so, after a long search, an Eskimo was found who could speak Saumek's dialect, and he began 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 intoxicated. So his Eskimo questioner was given a quart of whisky and told to ply Saumek with it. This, too, failed; 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 nay succeed; on the other hand, the Arctic is full of mysteries. The northern lights have seen queer signts; but the northern lights keep their secrets. AUCTION SALE I will sell at public auction for cash on Wednesday, December 3, 1930, at 3 p. m.

White. By EMMETT E. KELLEHER (Copyright, 1930, NEA) THE PAS, Manitoba, Nov. 26-The northern lights have seen queer sights -as the much-quoted Robert W. Service remarks- -and the everlasting silence of the regions under the Arctic 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. Far up in the heart of one of the most lonely places on earth--in the Angikuni country, 500 miles northwest of the port of Churchill, on Hudson Bay---a whole tribe of Eskimos has vanished. Somewhere, somehow, the endless desolation of Canada's northern Barren Lands has swallowed up 25 men, women and children. It is one of the most puzzling mysteries 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 Barren Lands, came upon the tribe's abandoned camp. Its tents, made of caribou skins, were still standing. Inside were hides, clothing, cooking utensils, even rifles--the most prized possessions of any. Eskimo.

There was no sign of violence, no sign of trouble. The place was simply empty. Mounted Police Join Search. The Royal Northwest Mounted Police 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 doesn't get the creeps readily when he spends months at a time trudging by his lone across the Barren Lands, where there is never a house or a human being or anything to break the white-rimmed silence; but Joe Labelle got creepy, just the same. The empty sky and the silent, rocky plain held a mystery, and the trapper didn't like it. Even when he spied the tent colLabelle says, he sensed that there ony, was something wrong. He had beached his canoe on the edge of the lake, a hundred yards or so distant, and he let out a hail of greeting as he walked up.

But there was no answer. Then two half-starved "husky" dogs crawled out and came towards him. They did not snarl and bark, as huskies usually do with a stranger; they crept up, whining dolefully.

All 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 milk is pure, wholesome milk. It is milk which has been heated to a temperature of 142-1450 F.

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 'that might be in the milk, as a result of the 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 No. 4 and 5 will appear in this paper next Thursday.

Call us today and have our wagon leave you pas teurized milk tomorrow, or insist on pasteurized milk from your grocer. Danville Dairy Products Phone 580 Loyal St. Phone 581.
