WEAPONS MADE OF COPPER Dress Is or Soft Tanned Skins and Their Sod Winter Houses Have Linings of Hides of Wild Animals. VICTORIA, B. C, Nov. 8. Interesting details regarding the finding of a people who had never seen white men, on Prince Albert Land, in the Arctic, are given by an officer of the returned revenue cutter Thetis, who learned full details from Captain Klinkinberg, of the steam whaler Olga, who located them. Last Winter, when his vessel was in the ico near Prince Albert Land, Klink inberg accompanied by an Eskimo, start ed inland on a hunting trip. He went ICO miles in a northeasterly direction over the snow, rinding traces of people. Other whalers had also seen traces of natives in this region, hut never sighted them. Captain Klinkinberg came up with 150 or more. When they saw him they came toward him, each armed with copper knives and bows and arrows. They held these above their heads and he pointed a rifle at them. One advanced alone and he laid dwn his ritie. the native puttlns down his weapons. They became friendly and by means of signs Klinkinberg learned that, other than one old woman who came from Prince William Land, they had never seen white men previ ously. He visited the village and found about 600 people, all of whom lived by hunting and fishing. Tliey used the most primitive utensils, fashioned from bone and native copper. Their dress was not like that of other KskimoK, but similar to that of the Green land natives, made of soft tanned skins sewed with deer sinews. Their Winter houses were of sod, with an inner lining of skins and different in shape from those of other known tribes. They are nomadic. The only article seemingly brought from civilization seen by Captain Klinkinberg was a piece of steel, evident ly from some ship, which was converted into a spearhead.

Oregon City voters will vote on a special tax to purchase the old home of Dr. John McLoughlin, the Hudson's Bay Company factor, tvho did so much for Oregon in the pioneer days. The exterior of the building is practically as it was originally constructed by Dr. Mclaughlin, but the interior had undergone a number of slight changes In rearranging the apartments. One reason for purchasing theproperty at this time b to enable the -ity to restore the building in all respects like the origi nal and these changes can only be made under the direction of some of the old pioneers of this city who were acquainted with the arrangement of the rooms in Dr. McLoughlln'a time. Another reason is to avoid making any further alterations in the structure which time and the elements make neces sary. Dr. McLoughlin occupied the house as a residence for 10 years. The proposed purchase by 4he city meets with very general Indorsement among Oregon City people, who reason that the transaction la not one dictated by sentiment alone. Rather, there Is a practical side to the proposed invest ment. The city needs a suitable place for storing its numerous records and at slight expense the buljding can be suitably arranged for offices to be occupied by several of the city officials. AT HIS HEART Raleigh E. Benson Tries to Kill Himself at Oregon City. WIFE SECURED DIVORCE Disheartened Portland Man Borrows Revolver From His Aunt and Puts Bullet In His Body in Presence of Divorcee. OREGON CITY. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) Disheartened because his wife obtained a divorce from him in the Circuit Court at noon today, Raleigh E. Benson, of Portland, 30 years of age; attempted to commit suicide shortly before 1 jj'clock this afternoon by shooting himself in the left lung with a 38-caliber revolver. The bullet passed through the lung at a point about two inches above the heart. Ben son will probably recover, as the wound is not necessarily fatal. Benson during the forenoon 'applied to several residents of this city for a re volver. After several refusals he finally obtained a weapon from Mrs. Charles Read, his aunt, who resides in the north ern part of the city. Benson told his aunt that he was going into the country for a hunt and desired to take a revolver with him. Benson then wrote a farewell note and went to the office of George C. Browne!! who appeared as the wife's attorney in the divorce proceedings.' He entered the office in which were seated his divorced wife and two of her friends and seating himself at a table, laid the note before him and without a word and unnoticed took the revolver from his pocket and shot himself. Sheriff Beatie was called and took from Benson the rovblver, which he still retained in the grasp of his right hand. The injured man was removed to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Read. An examination of the exploded cart ridge in the revolver with which Benson shot himself shows three distinct dents In the cartridge, which is considered evi- dence that the trigger was snapped that number times before the cartridge was exploded. The appearance of a dent on one of the other unexploded cartridges in the chamber of the revolver is taken still further to indicate that Benson must have tripped the trigger at least four times. That Benson contemplated suicide is evidenced by the text of his farewell note, which follows: My name is Raleigh E. Benson. My father's name and address is J. F. Benson, Portland, Or., care of Mrs. Olive Pilger, No. 673 Ta coma avenue, Sellwood Station. My wife is Laura Benson. In regard to her address re fer to George Brownell, Oregon City, Or., at-torney-at-Iaw. If anything happens to me no tify them, also Mrs. Charles Read, living In the north part of Oregon City. That is all. R. E. BENSO.V. Across the back of the note paper was indorsed these words: To Mrs. Laura Benson Here Is your di vorce. R. E. BENSON' The would-be suicide and Anna L. L. Benson were married at Canyon City, Grant County, on July 4, 1901. In the divorce suit that was ended today when the wife was given a decree of divorce and the custody of two minor children Benson was charged with having deserted his wife on September 1, 190o.
