T HE P RES 3 Chicago‘s sky piercing buildings, its boulevards, and river bridges, poised itself on its head over the lake on May 6, during a thunder storm for the delectation and amusement of Waukeganites. The phenomenon occurred after a heavy thunderstorm, and J. 0. Laux, government weather observer, who obâ€" served it, described it thus: "We could clearly see the entire joop," he said. "Uur attention had been called to the peculiar white mist uverhanging the clay banks which exâ€" tend into Lake Michigan some miles south of Waukegan. It was beautiâ€" ful. Suddenly the mist cleared away, the water glittered in the sunshine, and there, with its tower tops almost dipping in the water, we saw the loop <tanding on its head." The mirage was visible from the plant of the American Steel and Wire company, and office employees stopâ€" ped. work for several minutes to watch it.

First Street Telephone 493 Following is another letter from Martin Victor, Jr., who has been for several weeks traveling in Alaska colâ€" tecting furs for Victor Bros., local turriers. This letter is written to the Press from Fairbanks, Alaska, at the conclusion of his trip through the inâ€" terior. s Martin Victor Writes of Further Travels in Alaska Collecting Furs Fairbanks, Alaska, April 16, 1930 This was the hardest job I ever had in my life. â€" Although it is over with and the days of suffering cold are left behind. for this year, I‘m ready to do it over any time. There is a certain amount of fascination to the Arctic winter, to put on the Mukloks, the Parka, warm gloves, to hitch up the dogs and tear along the trail, the wind beating against your face like knives, the cold air almost choking you, freezing the nostrils together und constantly trying to freeze your nose or spots on the face. It is a great thrill to be blessed to escape narrowly the constant dangers which oceur day after day no matter how well you safeguard yourself, From what 1 have been able to gather, the Alaska Indian is very treacherous. It is noticed when dealâ€" ing with the hatives who have had quite~a bit of contact with the white v eb ud on na ts men, it seems as if they have been very quick in adopting the white man‘s way of doing business and comâ€" ing out the better part of the bargain. A promise from an Indian is useless us he will do what he wishes when he is in the mood, he is never in a hurry and will out wait a white man for weeks in case it comes to breaking a trail. The further away you go from white men, the better, Indians you find. They are kind in every respect, the squaw takes off your Parka and Mukloks, repairs them if necessary and dries them properly overnight. They feed you their best food and are casy to trade with. Whenever I say a fur is worth so much, they believe it and bring forth another skin. Their methods are almost like the Eskimo on the coast. The weather on the whole trip was against me all the way, the temperaâ€" ture hovered about 40 degrees below I would follow the mail trail until I would come to a little village or cabin, then inquire where a trapper lived within reasonable distance, _ Would usually spend the night at the trapâ€" per‘s cabin and deal with him after supper and treat him on a cigar, which is quite a rarity. The fur would be placed in a bag on the sled in the morning, and so on to the next trapâ€" per or. trader. It is interesting to have thousands of dollars worth of fur on the sled at a time and not have to worry about it while you sleep or go off and leave it in a town. Well, after 1 have a load of several hunâ€" dred pounds of furs on the sled I sent it to the firm at the next large town I come to wherever there is an exâ€" press agent. Most of the furs are shipped direct to our tanners, thus cutting expense in handling and the skins are received by the firm ready to use without delay. It will take at ieast two more months before the bulk of shipments are received as the to 65 below most of the time. â€" The wind filled in theâ€"trail constantly and made it hard on the dogs to travel.
