Vllhjiilmur StcfaniHon, arctlo
explorer who spoke Inst night at
Chautauua, and Colonel Charles
Wellington Furlong, who Intro
duced him, are examples of ex
plorers from the world's anti
podes. .
Htefansson d'scovcred nnd
lived among the northernmost
Inhabitants of the globe tho
blonde Eskimos of Victoria land;
Furlong explored the land of. and
lived among the southermost in
habitants of the globe the
Yahgan and Oria tribes of Tlerra
del Fuego.
The two explorers have drawn
many Interesting comparisons
between these peoples living at
the extremes of the Inhabited
globe. Many points of similar
ity In customs have been found.
The two have noted, that mea
sles, in both cases when Intro
duced by contact with the first
white people, proved a devastat
ing scourge, often decimating
whole tribes. Both explorers say
thut contrnct with 'civilization
has been the most fatal of all
elements to primitives.

Message From La Grande This

Assurance that the stato highway

long distance tolcphon message from
It. H. Paldock at Ui Grande.
The action on the part of the high
way department will insure safe roads
from the west for Bound-Up time, an.
Improvement on which tiie club has
been working, for several weeks. It I
consldered likely, too, that the same
protections that are to bs provided for
the weat road will be put in place on
two or three of the curves on the Cab
bage Hill road.
The decision on tho part of the
highway department to do this work
Is a result of Inspections made by Mr.
Baldock during the past few days. It
Is also probable that in addition to the
guard rails signs giving Information to
tour.sts will be put in place at differ
ent spots along the way.
