"CARDIFF GIANT" PURE FAKE
Had It* Origin In Hoax Which t« Utr
derttood to Have Had It*
inception at Chicago.
Andrew D. White gives some of the
ptinleulars of the "Cardiff Olant" Is
t book entitled "The True Story of «
Remarkable Deception." The Cardiff
giant was tite huge stone linage of n
man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff
-V V.. claimed to have unearthed whilf
digging n well in the autumn of 1S09
After It had been sold to a joint-stock
tympany formed to exploit the wonder
for show purposes. Barnum tried to
buy It for his own museum, but his of
fer was declined. The showman then
had an imitation made, wlih the result
that two Cardiff giants were on exhl
fcltlon at the same time, the duplicate
being shown to the public as "the onl.v
and original." Doctor White attributes
the exposure of the fake to Professoi
Marsh of Yule: In another account il
was Dr. Johu V. Boynton of Syracuse
N. Y.. who laid bare the fraud. The
original Oc-iliT giant was carved or
chiseled out a gypsum block In a
stonevard In Chicago and was trans
ported thence by rail and wagon to
Cardiff. According to Doctor White,
•dentists as well as clergymen were
much impressed with the colossal flg
ure. Dr. Jumes Hull, state geologist.

scribed the glnnt as "the most remark

the local Branch has forwarded to

OUTING
The next regular hike of the Al*
Pine Club will bo to Sturgilla Wool ,
Camp. It will take pace next •
Tuesday, June 11. The Guide is
Fred I'edersen.
According to present plans the
party will leave the Tennis Court
rather late in the afternoon and
hike, via the Lower Lake Traii to
Sturgills sawmill where supper will
b.; taken. Then returning via the
muffs where a new trail has been
put thru this last year. Because
of the nature of the country passed
over <he trip will be rather rough,
but the unusualness o^the scenery
will more than make up for any
hardship.
Among tbe attractions are, re
flections in the reservoir, a birdseye
riew of Skagway from the highest
peak oR the bluffs above Indian
town, the Chilkat mountains from
the sawmill, the mountains along
Lyi\n Canal, sunset over Face moun
tain. Lyea. Sawtooth range, Dyea
flats and city, Long Bay, Smugglers
Cove, another birdsej'e view of
ikagway and Lynn Canal from Ob
servation Rock, which juts out over
he Canal at a height of many hun
-lrer'.s of feM, then a most speetacu
ar return home by the new trail
wn tne bluff to the Ore bunkers
ncluding a climb over a ladder
*'hich is a good GOO feet up from
the water. y
Marb details later. Better plan

Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bledsoe receive

ie is now stationed at Fore McDow

While the letter is personal, . in

Dear Mother and) Father: I am
writing you this letter to let you
know that I am well and tha I
im setting along fine. The same
flay I wrote you my last leter I
was sent to the other side of th# is
land to the main camp.
I have been assigned to special
duty rt headquarters, I was just
naturally lucky, I press. I was
sjieakin< to one of the officers to
(tey .and he said I should be in
the signal corps as I am an artist.
He said that he would write a
letter . -» Washington, D. C., and try
to get my transfer. •
The drafted" men are arriving her
by the hundreds.
The army life is not half as had
as it is cracked* up to be—we get
lots to eat—moving picture shows,
concerts and everything—the only
thing I regret is thait I was not
in the game before—don't feel bad*
or say I did not have to Join,
that I ha<i a whole year before 1
was drafted—that's not 6o, • they
need m<- now, there are hundreds of
younger fellow® than I in the ser
•ice. • *
Its a great signt to see tnose
young' men arriving in hundreds, all
in civilian clothes, and in a dense,
are transferred into solders in a
few minutes. « • m
We are not sad nor compSalning,
for we know what the end nrust be,
<*onie of us will uever get to France,
for some of us must stay for home
d'uty-—out all want to go and those
that have a duty to perform at
home, will wish they were in their
comrades places over there. "> So
be brave and glad' you have & ®on
for Uncle Sam and' you can get a ser
vice flag to hang in your window.
Wouldn't you rather have me this
way than like some of the other
chaps whom they would not have
in the service?, : "'H
I will close now because I want to
get to bed—we hatvo to get up bo
darned early, believe me we turn
out, no monkey business. Your
loving son, Bill."
