As quickly as the eye could folâ€" low, the dogs turned right or left or stopped dead in their tracks at one shouteg word. Or they whipped down the full length of the stage, bellies close to the ground, his longâ€"lashed whip cracked over their hears. The dogs are as tame as kittens, love to be petted and are all veterans of long hauls, alâ€" though five of them are less than two years old. The lead dog, a scarredâ€"eared oldâ€"timer of 11 years, is as amiable as an old collie. "I know the spot whsre the crash ccecurred," said Hammond, "I‘ve crossed it often on hauls. The river is not as wide as this stage, but has very gentlyâ€" sloping banks, except on one side where a mud bluff shocts up about 30 yards from the water. "Rogers and Post landed, the reports said, to get their bearings. The reâ€" ports also said that Rogers talked to the Eskimos while Post tinkered with the plane. That mighnt mean the motor would chill a bit. Then, when they took off, they wouldn‘t have 200 yards in which to get a straightaway run. With a cold motor and a sharp takeâ€"off, disâ€" is much more possible. I think that must have happened." Talk about celebrating your hunâ€" dredth birthday! That is a long tim: to wait! And there‘s always a danger that you may miss the event! But a Kirkland Lake man last week did coleâ€" brate his hundredâ€"dollar birthday. He had a party for a birthday and it was celebrated in great style. After the captains and the kings departsd, and the guests also had gone, Steve apâ€" parently lay down in the road and shot off a revolver in the air as a grand finale to the birthday celebration. The police then broke up the party and Steve faced a charge of illegally being in possession of firearms. His lawyr put up the excuse that it was all on Steve‘s birthday, but Magistrate Atâ€" kinson seemed to think that if every mar in Kirkland even once a year started to shoot up the street at 2 a.m., it would not be nice. Then, of course, there would be double danger in cas> a couple of fellows happened to have the saime birthday and started shooting from opposite ends of the street! In any case Magistrate Atkinson gave the acâ€" cused a birthday present of a fine of $100 and costs, which is why the birthâ€" day is referred to as a "hundredâ€"dollar birthaay." pair equipped with a steerin ment exactly the same as a bile.

After Ottawa had made it clear that the city had no intention of keeping them or allowing them to stay and cadge their supplics, and after both Premier Bennett and Premier Hepburn had made it clear that as they had made the trip despite all warning and advice, and refusing previous offers of transportation, they could make their way home any way they liked, the trekkers started the sad homeward trip. They were accompanied by a squad of 20 police who did nothing except watch that the marchers comâ€" mittsd no illegal acts. From the start of the homeward trek it was evident that the "marchers" were beginning to realize that their leaders had badly misled them and that all the advenâ€" ture and romance kad gone from the trip,. First the trekkers began to desert singly and in couples. By the time Frescott was reachsd they refused to listen to the leaders left.
