A Canadian Company "Up on the Mackenzie River they talk about a strange man who won, in his brief career in the Arctics, the nickâ€" name of "Tarzan." This young giant, tall, handsome, curly haired and powâ€" erfully built appeared one day sailing along the shore of Great Bear Lake. Nobody knew him, nor where he came from. He volunteered no information. He was a Frenchâ€"Canadian, a wanderâ€" Tarzan of Arctics After Paul Bunyan All Profits Paid to Policyholders "He came ashore at the Hunter Bay base of Dominion Explorers and proâ€" ceeded to make himself at home. The ,mining company had a ‘"cache" for meat and fish, set up high on stilts, after the custom of the country, a means adopted to protect food supâ€" plies from ground animals. He retired to the "cache," which he covered with the tarpaulins which he had used for sailing his homeâ€"made vessel. His bed was the dried fish stored away for dog food. For several weeks, until the weaâ€" ther became extremely cold, this noâ€" mad lived in this improvised shelter, apparently contented although he could not have been comfortable. Later he was induced to move into a hut belongâ€" ing to the exploration company The other occupants of this wilderness out-i post dubbed him "Tarzan" on account of the marvellous agility and strengthl which he displayed. He could and dxdl er in the Barren Lands, a mystery. Residents of the region could not in any way account for his presence nor for his existence. He simply appeared one day late in the fall out of the haze, sailing crazy schoonerâ€"rigged vessel, apparently selfâ€"constructed from odds and ends of timber and logs. s0OLID as the CEADWTIPS EMT Go today to any of the retail stores listed bhere and see fJor yourself the remarkahle efficiency of this and other Northern Electric A Appliances ilinstrated sbove. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO "The radio kept him occupied for a time. He would tune it in and keep it going until four in the morning. The other occupants of the post complained about losing sleep. He would agree mildly that it wasn‘t right, would turn off the set, go to bed and in half an hour would be up again, with the radio running full blast. It got to be a nuisâ€" ance and finally the police persuaded him to shut it off entirely. They ofâ€" 'fered instead a big library of books, into which he tore with avidity. He would read one for a few chapters, throw it against the wall of the cabin making a terrific clatter and waking everyone up. The police sergeant conâ€" cluded that this was just put on for the benefit of his audience. However, he finally took a reading fit which lasted for sixty hours without food or sleep and his hosts concluded that this was real evidence of a disturbed mind. So they sent him up river to an Alberta mental institution. Shortly after he was in safe keery‘ng he became extremeâ€" ly violent and, being possessed of superâ€" human strength, he was a trial to his keepers. The police figure that they got rid of him just in time, as he would have been a real hardship had he brokâ€" en out in earnest during the dennedâ€"up "After a few months this young giant began to complain that something was ‘wrong with his head. He asked the !post people to take him out to Fort Norman, to the Northwest Mounted Police Post, saying that he feared his mind was going. He was taken out. The police heard the story, looked hhl\l Aver and decided he was "swinging the lead," just to get a trip to the outside.

He dug up an old radio set at the post, one which every passing plane mechanic had tried his expert hand on without avail. He made it work and work splendidly, disâ€" playing unusual electrical knowledge.
