A good bag of copy but do bear. 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. Gerlg,
former resident of Modford and now In

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.
The open air platform is assuming attractive proportions. . Promises to be pne
of the chief attractions at the coming Fourth of July celebration at Ashland. :
Carpenters are putting the finishing touches on the floor and smoothing it
up so that those who swing a wicked limb may have the time of their young
lives. 'r
Everyone is predicting that it will be the snappiest, cleanest and most
. enjoyable event ever attempted in Ashland.

"The Paraguay river lias a greater
flow than the Mississippi, and Asun-!
clon, tho citpital of Paraguay, though
nearly a thousand 'miles from the sea
la a busy port for trade with the out
sido world.
"Poraguny had its 'after-the-war
problem' a long time before It was
forced on the rest of the world; and
the little republic has largely solved it.
It was necessary for tho women left
after tho war of 1SG5 to bring the,
country back to prosperity, and their
marked industry did it. Today there
is n. degree of general prosperity in the
republic that compares favorably with
thnt 1n most other countries. Hut It

one Is tho sovonth since 1307."
