Diptheria Epidemic Only One
of Many' Historic Ex
i amples in Far North
SEATTLE, Wash., March 14.
The diptheria epidemic In Nome,
Alaska, bringing its desperate race
between death and dog teams with
anti-toxin, centered the attention
of the country on what has be
come a commonplace to "sour
doughs," the usual method of
transportation in the frozen inter
ior of the northern territory in
winter an adventure at best.
It is only on such occasions as
epidemics that the - mushing is
carried -out at such hazardous
speed, but the usual : progress
across the center of Alaska is made
once a fortnight throughout the
winter by mail carriers, who travel
870 miles from Nenana to Nome.
Numerous other traders, prospec
tors and trappers are on the go
frequently for long or short Jour
neys. " ' --- - ; :: n
French-Canadians int he em
employ of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany 300 years ago, learning the
use of dogs and sleds from Eski
mos in the far northwest of Amer
ica, used to shout "marche" when
they wanted the. dogs to speed up.
In the mouths of English-speak
ing men this . became - "mush,"
wh.tihc has stuck as a "get up" to
the dog and as a designation for
travel by dog-drawn sled.
Tragedies of the trail, for men,
are comparatively few, partly be
cause the winter drives are under
taken "only by hardy, experienced
men, and largely because of the
uncanny ability of the dogs to
avoid hazards of the trail. Over
flows are dreaded possibilities.
Most of the mushing is done on
the ice of rivers or seas and the
rest of It overland from one body
of water to another. Sometimes
the swiftness of the current or
the entry of a side stream causes
the water to flow above the ice,
making slush of the snow. There
lurks death for man. Ii he gets
into it his -legs will freeze tem
peratures of 50 below zero are
frequent on the trail. Freeze fol
lows instantly after emergence
from the slush, and the musher is
helpless. But a good dog detects
an overflow a mile off. He scents
it and suddenly departs from the
deep trail and leads the team off
through unbroken snow,. Around
the overflow he detours, i coming
back to the trail when' past the
8lU8&. ' - -;7V-. .' -
On Ice covered with sharp, pro
jections, called spear Ice, occur
ring on rivers and seas, the dogs
wear moccasins. Sometimes un
der, pressure, such as when 300,
000 units of antitoxin were taken
from IJenana on the Alaska rail
road Jan.- 27 and - delivered In
Nome by relays of dog teams Feb.
2, several dogs are carried on the
sleds, the animals taking turns at
riding and running.
The principal sled dogs are
Huskies and Malemutes. Huskies
are crosses; of domestic dogs and
prairie wolves. They weigh" T3
pounds and up. The leaders are
light in weight. They are brain
workers, and really lead. They
do not work but watch the trail.
Trail dogs sleep comfortably In
the snow. In a severe blizzard an
Alaskan will leave his dogs to
burrow in the snow and outlast
the storm if they can, and he .will
make his way to shelter, j
The bond between a driver and
his dogs is not exactly that pictur
ed by a dog-lover in the states. The
mushing dog, being half wolf, gen
erally would, live like a wolf ex
cept for vrestraint: ' Host ' sour
doughs profess to. feel no love for
sled dogs, and aver that the dogs
feel none-tor them. On the other
hand auch a writer as Hudson
Stuck, Episcopal archdeacon of the
Yukon and Arctic regions, affirms
that some sled dogs - love some
men..

Dogs i are used in . Alaska,, for
winter, travel only. In the sum
mer they live In camps, where they
are chained each to a trolley wire
that gives him a run. For if they
could reach each other there usual
ly would be trouble. In winter,
work and the blacksnake - whip
keep them in order. On the trail
they are, fed once every 24 hours
on whatever the master is able to
give them. Often it is dried fish.
A passenger may ride on the
sled, but the driver runs behind it
and rides on the rear runners al
ternately. A good day's travel is
40 to 50 miles, but In a storm and
bad going among hills a team and
two men may work from six in
the morning until nine at night
advancing -only ten miles.
'. In the diptheria epidemic . the,
dogs got through and an airplane,
primed for the flight, failed to
start. But airplanes are ' being
psei Increasingly in the north.

though usually in summer, for
winter flights are considered ex
tremely hazardous. The govern
ment is working on a plan to de
liver mail in winter . by a plane
equipped with runners so it may
alight on the snow.

Adventures From All Lands
Now Serving in Famous
French Division
PARIS, March 1 4: Approxim
ately 40 self-styled Americans are
now serring in the famous Fo
reign Legion of the French army,
scattered, in : Algeria, ... Morocco.
Syria and Tonkin. But how many
of that tworscore are really citi
zens of the United States the
French war department is unable
to say. All it knows is that with
in the past three years 40 men,
describing themselves as Ameri
cans, have enlisted.
The reason for lack of accurate
data on these self exiled or self
styled, Americans Is that the
French army requires absolutely
no identity papers of applicants
for service in its renowned ex
peditionary corps. A German who
has never been any farther west
than Frankfurt-on-the-Main may
present himself before a recruit
ing officer and join the legion un-
jdr.. tb0 najue of Otto Schmidt,
American, born in Hoboken. Sim
ilarly .a -Pole may Join up as Stan
islav Skryzskinski, American, born
and bred in Cleveland. Provided
the applicant : meets the physical
requirements, which . are . fairly
stiff, the French recruiting autho
rities make no investigation. "No
questions' asked"- is ' the legion's
rule. .- ; .7.:"7''-; ' V,"; 7 ;-
7; For the Legion Etrangere .was
founded ," to offer refuge," aecordr
ing to-.the minister of Kink Louis
PhUppe who organized it In 1831,
"to v those f foreigners who,; by
reason -of the. troubled state of
Europe ; have come . within our
borders, and whose presence, un
employed and harassed by neces
sity, may constitute a public dan
ger," Soon after 1831 member
ship- 4n the. legion was .thrown
open to Frenchmen. From the
beginning of its history of nearly
100 : years,, the legion , has nor
mally.been a good 40 or. 50 per
cent German in make-up. Yet
never, according to the French
army chiefs, has that high per
centage made the slightest differ
ence In the legion's loyalty to
either the white flag of Louis
Philippe, or, the tricolor under.
which France's armies have
marched during the reign of Napo
leon III and the present republi
can regime. The glowing citations
which the polyglot warrirs amass
ed during , the late war are .ample
proof that their famous song,
"Having no fatherland,
France is our mother" -
is no mere poetical Imagery.
S .Thr Jeglon's strength .is now
close to 20,000 men. In times of
peace, its effectives are - normally
not employed in France proper,
but In the colonies. The regula
tions provide that the legionnaire,
who enlists, tor a five year first
term of service, shall be rotated
from Africa to th Far East; and
back againl For the legion the
French high command tries J to
live up to' thei od recruiting
promise' -of ' "Join ? the -army and
see the 'woTld."-:-- :'"
The discipline, as far'as regula
tions go. is exactly the same as In
the regular French forces. In
practice the presence of a large
number of 'German 'non-commissioned
officers tends to make i it
more strict. ..However,', .foreign
records may be admitted as legion
second f lieutenant after; a. six
month's Jtrahilng period. Oppor
tunity :r for ' attendance at ; the
French officers' tralng schools Is
held out to all ranks of legion
naires who show, the necessary ap
titude. T-
Among the officers now serving
with the legion ;three are known'
to be- bonafide Americans who
joined the force during the late
war. 7 One 'certified American Is
serving as a first sergeant. . But
of the remainder, of the .reputed
40r "little Js known In official
quarters. And official quarters,
keeping to the. Idea of; te ,'ref

Salem Wicker Furniture Co;

- Quarters . . ,
About a year. ago L. B. Duns
more came to Salem 'and started
the Salem Wicker furniture fac
tory at 1853jState street. t Mr.
Dunsmore was a skilf ull wicker
worker and his work soon attract
ed ; attention of Salem people in
terested in art work of that kind.
The business grew rapidly. More
help was employed. The business
continued to expand, larger and
better orders were received. A
short time ago it became evident
that larger quarters -must be ob
tained and Mr. Dunsmore found
himself , in possession of a busi
ness which justified him in buying
a site and erecting a factory es
pecially adapted to his line. The
new location is at 2218 State
street. The new building will be
40 by 40 feet. It will be ready
for occupancy in about two
months. . --.-.
, . Under the direction of the state
vocational board, Mr. Dunsmore Is
now starting classes in wicker
work. The new building will be
ample for caring for the large
classes which the state vocational
board expects to be Interested in
this particular line of art work. ;
The great variety and artistic
designs of the work being done
entitles the shop to be called an
art craft shop.

Florida Selects New Way
To Guard Grade Crossings
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., March 14.
The Florida state road depart
ment has devised a simple and in
expensive device that promises to
cut down railroad grade crossing
accidents. One already is in use
as an experiment and the depart
ment plans to build others In its
state-wide road construction pro
gram. -.
The device now in use i9 located
on State Road No. 1 at Cottondale,
where the highway crosses the At
lanta and St. Andrews Bay rail
road. .It consists of two parkways,
one on either side of the railroad
enclosed by a concrete curb which
divides the travel, causing the mo
torists going in one direction to
pass on the right side of the park
way, while traffic in the opposite
direction goes to the left.
'- One section of curb begins 70
feet from the end of the railroad
ties on either side of the railroad,
and. is constructed in an arc of a
circle on the right of the center of
the highway, and Intersects the
first section of curb twenty feet
from the end- of the ties. ' - - - v
greatest distance between these
curbs is ten feet, and the curve is
sufficient to make it necessary to
slow down to get through.
A sign designating the railroad
crossing and a warning to go slow
