Certainly tho Indians aro In better condition at Peel river than In other parts of the country where they are In close contact with the white race. No one knows exactly how many Eskimo there aro In the north or what their numbers aro, as compared with fifty years aQ. Gardening in the North. "What success hnd you In raising vegetables und grain 111 the far north? "We tried to ralso vegetables every year nt Peel river, which Is about two hundred miles south of Hersehel Island. I was n'vay too much to do Jnstlco to gardening but I rulscd each year very lino rndUhes, lettuce, nnd turnips.

Potatoes arc grown at Goad Hope, closo to llio Arcilc circle. Al Fore Simpson, north of Orcat Slave lake, barloy bas been raised. Thero Is no doubt that tlio country will bo settled eventually as far north Fort Simpson. This will be some thno In the future, however." "You met tho Klondyko gold hunters who went In to tho Yukon overlandV" "Yos. many men came to us for Information.

They understood that there was gold on tho Peel and when we told them wu knew nothing of It. they thought wc were trylnj to keep them out of the country Many of thesa people came In with havy outfits, most of which they wero compelled to give away. I had a largo collection of picks and spades nnd wheels for harrows. Those who had light outilts got through better. It Is easily posslbit to get Into tlio Yukon by way of the Peel river.

A man leaving Edmonton In June should reach the Klondyko In August If his outfit Is light. Many of tlio Klonflykers spent two summers getting In and many of them cited of scurvy." "You spenk of fish and deer moat. Wore there other foods procurable?" asked tho reporter. "Wo had plenty of mountain coats, ducks and gccse for variety. At Hersehel Island almost all our supplies came In from Snn Francisco.

At Pee! river we were supplied from Winnipeg. The cost of reaching Hersehel Island from San Francisco with provisions Is, of course, very much less 'than iho cost of reaching Pee! river from "Is one Indian language sufficient In the north In order to communicate with the native population?" was asked of Bishop Stringer. "No, one language Is not quite nufll-clent. There Is one language spoken from Peel river north, and from Good Hope south quite a dlfforent language. AH the northern Indlnns can understand one mint her although thero.

are many variations of speech, but nono of the northern tribes can converse wllh Indians from tho country south of Good Hope." "You hail a wlntcT of continuous night on Hersehel IslandV the blshoi) was asked. "There nro about two months during which tho sun does not rise," said nishon Stringer. "There Is, however, a long period of twilight and It Is possible to mnke loug Journeys during the winter. In the house a lamp Is required all day. In the summer we have a corresponding period of continuous dnyllght." Bishop Stringer Is evidently deeply attached to the north.
