This in the rcHiilt of Kdison Marshall's long trek to Unliiiak Island, situated some- whore in tho general direction of Siberia and the North Pole. Marshall went after a Kodlak bear, the largest species of grizzly In the world and while he saw a few they were always too fur uway to hit. There wore 13 days of bad weather out of 23 on the Island, the wind blowing in a perverse fashion so the bear could eas ily detect the presence of Murshall's two Scandinavian guides. "It ls,u very rugged and Interesting country, said Marshall today, "and I have a splendid lot of material for future fiction. The island Is a rugged wilderness of brush and grass, no trees and no white people. There are In dians, Esquimaux, squawmen, caribou, deer, foxes, ev., etc. Although we had to leave without bagging a grizzly, I know where they are now and Intend to go back there with a companion someday, and bag the limit." Unimnk Island has seldom been vis ited by white men and Murshnll had to secure special permission from the U. S. Wologleal Survey to hunt on it. The trip required 14 days on the water, tho well known nuthor sailing from Seward, Alaska on the steamer Star, the' first part of Juno. On his return to Alaska, Marshall met Win.

Klxth mill I'mlflr Highway 4' WASHINGTON, D. C. A country whose population was almost wiped out of existence, but which has "come bock" successfully; where women out number men several times over; where cattle graze the year round under palm trees; and where bearded cowboys wear bloomers such Is the Paraguay of today pictured 1n a bulle tin from the Washington, D. C. head quarters of the National Geographic Society. Tho bulletin was issued fol lowing news dispatches which state that a revolution lias broken out In the little South American republic. "Paraguay, which has refused the offered mediation of foreign diplomats and has announced that its army will take care of the country's latest revo lution with, rifles and cannon, Is living up to the military traditions which have given it the most tragic history of all the countries of the Americas," says the bullotln. War Nearly Depopulated Country "Next to the smallest republic in South Amorlca, with an area only about as largo as that of tho state of Wyoming, Pnraguay In 18GB had a population compurablo to that of ex tensive Argentina and lingo Drnzil, and. thanks to the military ambitions of Its dictator, Francisco Ixpcz, the most powerful army In South America. Lopez believed hlmsolf destined to be tho Napoleon of tho western hemi sphere, and In 18GB confidently led the army of his Uttlo country against the combined forces of Brazil, Argentina,, and Uruguay. "Tho flve-yenr conflict was so bloody and (he Paraguayans were dofented so. signally that between two-thirds and five-sixths of tho population perished. Of a population that may have passed the million mark, only about 200.000 women nnd less than 30,000 men mostly old men and young boys were loft. The lossos wore heavlor, prob ably, thun those suffered by any other nation In modern times. Even today Paraguay Is largely a land of women, the men being greatly in the minority. , A "Church-State" for a Century "Paraguay's history has been filled with conflicts, .violence and unusual situations from tho first. To begin with there has been a slighter admix ture of European blood than In any other South American country, and the fire of the old Indlap blood has been preservod. A Uttlo band of Spaniards sailed up the Plata and Paraguay riv era in 1S36 nnd In tho heart of South America founded a settlement. .They took Indian wives. They and tholr descendants became the ruling power in the land, eventually establishing great' haciendas on which the Indians worked. "MlBslonorlos who went to the re glon In 1609 brought the Indians to gether into settlements of their own and taught theju to carry on agricul ture for themselves. This was resent ed by tho half-breeds nnd tho situation was further complicated by the arrival of other missionaries who destroyed ,tho early settlements. The fust coin ers armed the Indians, expelled the Spanish governor nnd the later nrri vals, nnd wrote the second unusual chapter in Paraguayan history. For more than 100 years they conducted a sort of 'church-state.' Later Spanish governors, who cruelly oppressed the people, came back Into power. "After Independence from Spain was gained in 1.M0 Paraguay entered upon a period of dictatorships and became tho hermit nation of the west. Trade with, outside countries nnd the pres ence of foreigners was strict i prohib ited and the country came to be entire ly a self reliant unit. A sort of com munism wag established for many enr8,' a portion of the land being worked for the state, the proceeds be ing used for the benefit of the people De !i"ranihin, the first nnd most benev olent of the dictators, was absolute despot of the country for 25 years. When he died there was & short period of flghtltig nnd turbulence from which Carlos Lopez emerged . as . dictator. After him came his son, Francisco, under whom the imputation suffered its greatest losses. Like an Inland Florida " "For some of Paraguay's greatest troubles it is a case of 'cuerchez la femme.' Francisco Lopez, who was educated in Europe, was accompanied on his return by a woman who became the Du Hurry ot South America. Lopez was completely under her control, and through hi in she ruled impetuously and recklessly., . . t ,, "Paraguay of today is a sort ot Inland Florida of fertile soil, equable climate, nnd an abundance of fruits nnd food products. On its rich grass lands vast herds of cattle graze tho year round undor palm trees tended by cowboys who, instead of the 'chaps' of jss our western plains, wear loose, baggy ; bloomers. Anly ' Argentina with Its more extenslvo plains surpasses Para guay as a cattle country. Recently a number of packing plnnts have been established by North American interests.
