Wild Experience in Yukon
Country Told in Message
From C. 0. Prest.
SLAYS ANIMAL TO EAT
Hike Back to Civilization Frought
With Hardships in
Rain.
Bf tlie Associated Tress.
DAWSON. Y. T.. July 22.?Like a
chapter from dramatic fiction reads
the story of the experience of Clar
ence O. Pre3t, the aviator, while at
tempting: a flight across Yukon Ter
ritory and Alask;u He flew with his
moving picture camera above a great
heard of caribou and was forced to
land In their midst. He slaughtered
one to keep from starving. The heard
is part of the great body of caribou
which annually trek across the re
gion near Dawson, and Eagle. Prest
had flown by a roundabout way from
?San Bernardo, Calif., to the far north.
Prest's own story of his experience
is told in the following dispatch from
Kagle to the Dawson Daily News:
Hundred* in Herd.
"Thirty minutes out of Kagle my
engine bucked. 1 looked for a land
ing place and picked what looked
like a level spot. It was Niggerhead
flat, at the head of Deer creek, eight
miles south of Seventy-mile river.
I fixed the engine and noticed a
eouple of caribou. I set up my movie
camera so as to get them. More of
them were coining so J began to see
about taking off. Turning. I noticed
500 or 600 caribou all around the
airship and camera, and rushed back
expecting to find the camera ruined,
but no damage was done, I grot ready
to take off but the ship went upon
her nose in the soft going and broke
the propeller.
"I had been debating about killing
one of the caribou, but the debate
ended when the propeller broke, so 1
killed one with my .32 pistol and
butchered him with a pocket knife.
Further Damage by Wind.
"T was overhauling the motor when
a puff of wind finished the job by
turning the ship over on her back
and breaking the radiator. So I de
serted the ship, stripped off the in
struments and magneto and started
to pack down to the river. I got
down with one load and saw I was
not going to make it with the grub
" 1 had so I cached everything and
went back to the ship and slept in its
tail Sunday nieht. I had left my com
pass in a cache at the inouth of Bar
ney creek, so I started without it. I
was further out than I thought. I
did not pick up the trail and made
a lot of unnecessary circles, climbing
mountains for observation. It was
raining steadily, but I had equipped
myself with a small can of gasoline
for starting fires.
"My shoes and ft et w ere giving out
and I was afraid to lie down to sleep.
Finally on Wednesday I struck the
trail at Nimrod bar and shortly after
a search party hove in sight."

APPEALS TO AMERICANS
Hopes V. S. Bodies Will Persuade
Moscow to Permit Exchange of
Publications.

Copyright, !??!.
PETROGRAD, Russia, July 22 ? Rus
sian men of science are being: Intel
| lectually starved. They cannot obtain
foreign books because they are un
able either to send their own publica-*
tions In exchange or to send any money
except soviet currency, which dealers
in foreigrn countries will not accept.
"WhUe during the past few years
the f?>od situation has been equally
difficult for all the population in Rus
sia." said Prof. W. Grossman, manager
of an all-Russian scientific bureau, to
me today, "the highly educated part
of the population has suffered doubly.
Besides being starved physically these
people have also been starved mentally
and spiritually.
Boole Hunger Grows.
"The craving now is for books, books,
books. Notwithstanding the improve
ment in the postal communications
our hunger for foreign scientific works
I is entirely unsatiated. We greatly hope
| that America, which answered our call
I for food for our bodies, will now send
? us food for our minds.
"American scientists will realize
' how. without new ideas and the ex
change of opinions, every cultured mind
must vegetate and grow dull, gloomy
and despondent."
| Prof. Grossman says there has been
'great intellectual activity here. Nu
| merous new scientific societies have
I been started and valuable research
work has been done. They have no
way of discovering, however, whether
they are making Important discov
eries or merely duplicating outside
research work.
Triple Permit Required.
Russian scientists are unable to
j send their books out because in order
to stop the speculations of booksel
| lers the government has decreed that
a triple permission?from the mili
tary censor, from the foreign trade
j department and from the public li
brary commissioner?must be ob
tained for each package. To obtain
such permission requires frequently
I several days of work.
I Prof. Grossman urges American
scientific bodies to request the Mos
j cow government to permit the send
ing in of foreign scientific publlca
| tions in exchange for the Russian
publications without the formalities
now required. Something of this sort
has been done already for the physi
! cians in Russia by the doctors of the
j American Relief Administration and
j by the Rockefeller Foundation.

tate, for the restoration of ?125,000
which, it is alleged. Mrs. Lycett ob
tained by fraudulent representation,

Winans, whose wife had left him for
another man years previously, began
giving her large sums of money on
her representation that she was des

Before any witnesses were called
