1 FUR TRADERS
HAVE LEAN TIME
Edmonton, Feb 1—After a jour
ley of more than 700 miles, under
aken with the thermometer falling
o a minimum of 57 degrees below
ero, A Brabant, manager in the
lackcnzie river district for the
ludson's Bay company, and R. S.
lalmon, who for the last four years
ias been employed in the office of
he government agent at Fort Smith,
eached Edmonton yesterday from
he Northwest territories.
The uarty started with four dog
'.vnis from Fort Smith on January
, and after twenty days, which in
laded a lay-over of two days, reach
d Athabasca without mishap.
"The fur trade is practically at a
tandstill in northern Alberta," said
Ir. Brabant on his arrival in the
itv yesterday. "The Hudson's Bay
ompany announced at the beginning
f the winter that they would not
ie in the market for the purchase cC•
kins this year. On account of this
nove the outlook for the Indiau
rappers lookcc somewhat hopeless,
nd w'uen 'theSe conditions were put
,p to the Dominion government an
rder-in-council was passed giving
lie mounted police authority to dis
ribute supplies to the Indians whos
ucnme was thereby cut off.
"The Indians were net slow to
ake advantage of this offer," add
d Mr. Brabant with a smile, "as
hey seem to prefer to stay at home
nd accept government charity to
acing the rigors of a northern
,'inter."
According to Mr. Brabant, the fur
uvers from the large cities of the
'nited States and Europe, who have
een in the habit of making an an
lual trip to Athabasca this season,
ave cancelled their visits this year,
.nd except for one or two of the
mall buyers from the United States
he market has been practically dea
his year.
"Where in former years it was no
ncommon thing for a buyer from
»ne of tlio world's large fur hous
s to purchase some $25,000 worth
f furs during bis trip," said Mr.
irabant, "I do not believe that the
ggregato buying of all who have
ome north would reach $2,000 this
ear."

KLONDIKE HAS ITS
OWN PRINCESS PAT
Yukon has a Princcss Patricia of
its own. A little daughter was
brought by the stork to the Indian
ward at the Good Samaritan hospi
tal to bless the royal home of Chief j
Iraac and his trail mato of life
The chie' had a great name selected J
for a son, but when ho found the j
big bird had switched the program, |
a good friend came to his rescue :
and advised him to name the new I
babe Patricia. And so it is. The !
chief has the name written out 011
a sheet of paper, and there is no j
mistake about the label. So K!oi»
dike now has its own Princess Patj
of loyal lineage, descended from aj
house which has reigned here since j
the days of the ark, and always has j
possessed the wealth of a Monte
zuma a million times over in the
identity of the great Klondike gold
fields. The chief still claims all
these goldfields, but lets other peo
ple extract the worthless yellow
metal, while he enjoys untram
meled the scenery an.I the privi
leges of the forest primeval. The
mother of the new princess has an
other name for the babe, that of
Mary; so the house of Moosehide is
not slow in appreciation of name?
that are popular in royal circles.
Chief Isaac has two sons, the eld
est of whom is nine years. He
lost six children, but is happy today
in the possession of a new princess
—the Princess Pat ef Klondike.—
