.
Farewell to the World
The following is the full text of the
"Message to the Public" written by
Captain Robert P. Scott, the Antarc
tic explorer:
"The causes of this disaster are not
due to faulty organization, but to mis
fortune in all the risks that had to
be taken.
"First?The loss of the pony trans
port in March, 1911, obliged me to
start later than I had intended and
obliged the limits of the stuff trans
ported to be narrowed.
"Second?The weather throughout
the outward journey, especially the
long gale in 83 degrees south, stopped
us; the latitude S6 degrees, we had
minus 30 to minus 30.
"On the barrier in latitude 82, 10,
000 feet lower, we had minus 30 dur
ing the day and minus 17 at night
pretty regularly with continuous head
wind during the day marches. These
circumstances came on very suddenly
and our wreck was certainly due to
this sudden advent of severe weather,
for which there was no satisfactory
cause.
, "I do not jthink human beings ever
came through such months as we have
come through, and we should have
got through in spite of the weather,
but for the sickening of our mates
and the shortage of fuel in our depots,
for which I cannot account, and final
ly but for the storm which has fallen
on us within eleven miles of this de-'
pot, at which we hoped to securo final \
supplies. Surely misfortune could
scarcely have exceeded this last
blow. We arrived within eleven miles
of our old One Ton Camp with fuel
for one hot meal, food for two days.
For four days we have been unable
to leave the tent and a gale has beon
blowing about us. We are weak. I
Writing is difficult.
"But for my own sake I do not re
gret this journey, which has shown us
that Englishmen can endure hnrdship,
help one another and meet death with
as great fortitude as ever in the past.
We took risks. We knew we took
them. Things have come out against
us. and therefore we have no cause
for complaint, but bow to the will of
Providence, determined still to do our
best to the last.
"But if we have been willing to give
our lives to this enterprise, which is
for the honor of our country, I ap
peal to our countrymen to see that
those who depend upon us are proper
ly cared for. Had we lived I should
have had a tale to tell of the hardi
hood, endurance and courage of my
companions which would have stirred
the hearts of all Englishmen. These
rough notes on our dead bodies must
tell the tale, but surely a great, rich
country like ours will see that those
who depend upon us are properly pro
vided for."

Several of the stakers who went
out locating claims on New Years
night returned with nose or toes
nipped by Jack Frost. One man re
ports that some ground which was
open was staked in the regular old
time hatchet and pencil style by one
who evidently did not know of the
new law for it wos a one hundred
and sixty acre tract. The late comer
immediately planted stakes on a por
tion of it, and others coming later
still did the same, so that the entire
amount of ground was restaked. Had
the man read the papers he would
have been wiser than to make the
mistakes he did, says the Nome Indus
trial Worker.

The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
William Volkman, of Fairbanks, was
found dead in its cradle, recently.
The amount of beef and mutton con
sumed yearly by the people of Nome
amounts to 150 tons. Beef seems to
suit the palates of the Nomeltes so
much better than mutton that ten
tons of the former are eaten to every
ton of mutton. In addition to beef and
mutton, the people of Nome eat about
50 tons of game and fish, which brings
the grand total up to 400,000 pounds,
or more than 3,000 pounds per day.

NO MAIL SERVICE
FOR KUSKOKWIM
The Kuskokwim people are very
sore over the continued neglect of
their mail service. Like Innoko there
has been practically no mail service
at all and they have gotten up a peti
tion denouncing this condition, the pe
tition will be forwarded to the Post
office Department.
They held that only along the Yu
kon and the regular postal routes is
it now possible to get letters at all.
The increase in population in the In
noko and Kuskokwim justifies some
sort of service but they have none at
all. The present official route is de
clared to be rediculous, and shows a
Complete ignorance of the topogra
phy and conditions, a complaint is
more than justified. Why an occas
ional mall is not sent over the Seward
trail and why the promised test was
abandoned can best be explained, by
Cordovian or Chitina influence.
Good reports still arrive from the
Ditna and from Cripple, where excel
lent pay beyond a doubt has been
found and the stampeders are .all de
lighted by the prospects.
Good pay is also said to have been
located on Slate creek, a tributary
of Otter, and the outlook is very prom
ising.

Flour for a Dakota Wheat Grower. The an
alysis ranked Fisher's Blend Flour higher in Gen
eral Average, Gluten Quality, Water Absorption and
Loaf Value than the best Dakota all-Hard Wheat Pat

stuff efficiency. Fisher's Blend Flour is a scientific
combination of Eastern 1 lard Wheat and Western Soft
Wheat, preserving the best qualities of each. It costs
