Community singing was a feature of the afternoon's program, at the Close of which light refreshmentswere ser- ved and a social hour Spent, Ancient Mummies Found xn Far North With finds which trey believe rank with those of King Tut's tomb in antiquity if not in splendor, nine members of the Stoll -McCracken Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History reached Montreal over the lines of the Canadian National Railways from Prince Rupert, B.C. where they left the Schooner Effie M. Morrisey which had carried them through the Arctic waters. The party consist- ing of Charles Stoll of New York, backer and Direc , for of the Expedition and his wife, a noted big game huntress; Harold McCracken, Associate Editor of Field and Stream and leader of the expedition; Dr H. E. Anthony, Curator of Mammals of the American Museum and other Museum experts, left the port of Prince Rupert on May 1st for northern waters, and were at one time 225 miles north of Point Barrow. Their search was for ancient mummies believed to be of Stone Age men, whose presence on the barren islands of the Aleutians group had been reported, On a barren island, far from the present haunts of men, a burial was discovered in which were four bodies in a rude sarcophagus, constructed of drift- wood, cleverly mortised together and held by nails made of walrus bone. The mummies were those of a chieftain; his hunter who was sent on the long journey with him to provide game for his food; a seamstress who had her sewing equipment for re- pairing the chief's garments, and a child believed to show the chief's love of children. Beside the body of the hunter, were the stone hatchets and harpoons of his craft. The mummies were splendidly preserved and showed every indication that the people of the Asiatic races, from which these "Stone Age" men were believed to have come used methods of preser- vation similar to those of the Ancient Egyptians in preserving the bodies of their Pharaohs. The four mummies, including the trunkless head of the hunter which is shown here in the hands of Harold Mc- Cracken, leader of the Expedition, travelled to Montreal with the party on the Continental Limited of the Canadian National Railways and will be placed in the American Museum together with the impor- tant groups of mammals and birds of the Arctic waters which the party secured during their expedi- tion. Photographs show the members of the party on their arrival at Bonaventure Station, Montreal; the mummified head of the hunter brought back by Mr. McCracken, and "Tough" a member of the party and the only English bulldog which is known to have ever sailed Arctic waters, enjoying a lookout from the cab of the Canadian National Railways to omotive which hauled their train into Montrs•^1 GEO. MASON'S TRIP Editor of Advance -Times: Just betore taking the last lap of the journey home we thought we would like to sample tl\e beautiful fifteen million dollar • Gardiner roads of this great province of Saskatche- wan, so made ample preparation for the eighty mile run tothe little city of Weyburn. For 50 miles of dis- dance we straddled the ruts which in places I should say would be to the axles after a rain, the, distance to a place called Stroughton is forty miles, To cover that distance requires care- ful handling of a car to keep •i.t in the pathway. From this village for about twenty-eight miles we had a highway which was comparatively smooth, which made good going, The balance of 12 miles to the city was extremely rough, so that seems to be about the general conditions of roads throughout the province. Now thequestion aris- es "Where did the money go?" If you have any political ideas and can size up the present day doings you can answer the question to your own 'satisfaction. If you don't know ask any high school boy of twelve years and I'll bet he will say the political heelers were enriched thereby. Out west they make cities on a 5000 standard while we require 10,000. n I should .judge the plan will be about the site of Goderich. I fancy per- haps they ntay take in the unfortt}n- ates at the mental hospital where I understand there about 1000, This beautiful building demands special mention, it being fotir stories high and. I should judge about 500 feet front- age, a wonderful structure to be erec ted in a country about forty years old, showing such remarkable "progress" in so short 'a space of time. Only a few short years ago this site was only rough prairie, but what a transform- ation has taken place with trees, shrubs, and flower beds in great beau- ty. This place is well worthy of a call, we were permitted to go as we came being considered quite normal in the upper story. This little city is an evidence of the remarkable growth of the West in such a brief period, it is almost un- believable the accomplishments of man, unless you see for yourself. I mention an item or two, the Wey- burn Securities Corporation have a large four storey structure apparent - 1y built of whitemarble, which would grace any city, on opposite corner is a large departmental store, four stor- ies and I should judge a frontage of about 125 feet on two streets. The Giant Octopus planting the cloven foot all over this great land of ours has just rented a store here pays ing $300 per month for a groceteria, so evidently there must be money in pickles, boiled ham and cabbage, to run such an establishment in a place of this nature. Sometimes things be- come top heavy and fall to pieces from their great height. It may be so in this case. After a brief sojourn in the little village of Windthorst (German name) we make for Brandon on what they nickname the "peanut" railway, which takes about five hours and a half for 91 miles, and by the way there is an- other line near here which makes the journey from Kipling and ends some- where on the prairie about 50 miles distant, The train leaves about Mon- day and gets back some time during the week. An employee on this line certainly has a soft time of it. 'Can you imagine such a transportation system in this year of grace? Speak- ing of Kipling, is a divisional point on the C. N. R. has for a population with country surrounding a Hungar- ian, Protestant or Presbyterian cle- ment. Our Rev, Dr. Perrie had the honor of preaching to these people one Sunday on his visit west this sum- mer, The foreigners arc somewhat ahead of the Canadians in the church going habits as they turn out in great numbers in their fine motor cars. A feature of their worship is, the male 'variety sit on one side and the "hood- ed" wife across the aisle which is per- haps a splendid idea as otherwise they might talk too much and get into dis- pulation regarding matters of the world, great scheme. I pass it on to our church authorities, suppose we try it out? I don't think newly weds and sparkers' would fall in line. Of course like everything else in the world ithas two sides. Another lerthing these people have no "Kist 0 Whist- les" and a plain every day shopkeep- er pitches the key. I don't know how he does it, but perhaps he has a fork to help him along. The church is built with a long front with twotow- ers close together in the centre. The entrance doors are at each end of the building, one for the ladies and the other for the gentlemen. It would be quite out of harmony in worship to go in on the.arm of the better half. The next village on the line is Ger- man. Some of them were put in de- tention camps during the war. I learn they are quite disloyal arid dis- like our King and British connection, Geo. Mason.
