The Gov ernor praised the fair for Its educa tional value and paid tribute to the men and women who till the soil and make such exhibitions possible. His address was warmly applauded. The students of Pacific University enlivened the occasion by giving col'-! lege yells and songs, and the Cornelius uniformed band gave several selections that were much appreciated.

As adopted the plan calls for examina tion of the driver as well as the pro vision about being accompanied by parent or guardian.

CAN BAILS LEAKY CRAFT Dr. Judson Daland, Professor at University of Pennsylvania, Arrives at Seattle With Tale of Arctic . Trip. SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Caught in a small launch in the howling Arctic storm on Kotzebue Sound, unable to make for land or seek refuge on the coast-guard cutter Bear, which lay only a few miles away. Dr. Judson Dal and. eminent medical sci entist of Philadelphia, and Captain C. S. Cochrane, commander of the Bear, had to battle three days for life with the aid of empty tomato cans. The launch sprung a dangerous leak at the beginning of the storm. For tho three days Dr. Daland and Captain Cochrane took turns in bailing out the boat. Dr. Daland is not only a prominent medical scientist, but when he found himself in a leaking boat, tossed about in a wild storm beyond the Arctic cir cle, proved himself a first-class Aro tlo venturer. The men on the Bear meanwhile watched the hard-preseed venturers through marine glasses. It was a tough tussle against death. but the sturdy arms of the scientist and the navigator won the battle. An Eskimo kept the launch engine running. Dr. Daland at Seattle. Dr. - Daland arrived in Seattle on the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's liner Umatilla this week. Dr. Daland is professor in the grad uates' school of physicians and sur geons at the University of Pennsyl vania. He went North to study the Eskimo colonies on the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean coasts. He boarded cutter at Nome, and waa the truest of Captain Cochrane on her annual cruise to Point Barrow, the most north erly point on the continent. On the voyage back to Nome, the Bear stopped in Kotzebue Sound so that Dr. Daland could visit the new native village established by the Gov ernment at Noorvik. 60 miles up the Kobuk River. The village was estab lished by the Governmenlfs Alaska Bu reau of Education to determine if the natives could live inland as well as on the coast. Dr. Daland and Captain Cochrane ob tained the use of the gasoline launch Ethel and her crew at the mouth of the Kobuk River. The Ethel had Just got well up the river when a deck hand lighted a match. Instantly there waa an explosion and the interior of the launch caught fire. The crew ran. the launch ashore. Party ExtiMrofctnea Fire. The members of the party, led by the eminent '.scientist, took off their coats, filled them with sand, and emptied the sand into the burning vessel. They extinguished the flames and then re sumed the trip to the native village. There they found that the Government is supplying the natives with electrio light for their homes at the rate of tl.50 a month for each lamp. Nothing eventful occurred until the launch returned to Kotzebue Sound and headed for the Bear. Then a wild storm rushed in from the north. The party saw that return to the land was impossible because of the terrifio surf. At the same time no headway could be made against the storm, and hence the Bear could not be reached. The launch sprung a bad leak. Dripping from spray, Cochrane and Daland buckled down to work and for the next three days did little else ex cept bail out the launch. After making a careful study of the Eskimo people of the Far North, Dr. Daland is of the opinion that the northern tribes of Alaska are descended from the Tartar races. "These people of both countries are alike in many characteristics," he said. Centralla Woman tn Lead. CENT R ALIA. Wash.. Sent. 20. fSoe- cial.)
