STARTS NORTH TO PASS YEAR WITHSAVAGES Will Study Primitive Life of Isolated Tribe in Arctic Circle. CHICAGO, June I.—The prospect of studying a primitive culture, which has been maintained for thousands of years untouched by outside contacts, is taking Cornelius Osgood, graduate student of ethnology at the University of Chicago, on a fifteen months’ expedition to the Canadian Barren Grounds, the region around Great Bear Lake. He is en route to Waterways, where he leaves the railroad. The 1,000-mile trip from Waterways will be made by canoe and dog team. He expects to reach Ft. Norman, the last outpost of civilization in that region, sometime in August. Almost nothing is known of the Hareskin Indians, which he will study, except that they are sullen and inhospitable. Two white missionaries who tried to convert them were murdered. Osgood hopes, if it is possible, to live with them during the long winter season, getting first hand observations of their manners and customs. The difficult language of the Hareskin tribe presents a problem but Osgood expects, if he make himself understood by using Athabascan word stems. The Hareskin tribe is a member of that linquistic group. Prof. Edward Sapir, University of Chicago anthropologist, believes that this expedition presents “an almost

4 Pretty Soft ’ By Times Special MT. VERNON, Ind., June 1. —Local police and Posey County officers found a comfortable lookout post when they seized a still in operation on the Wabash River, in Point Township. The post commanded a view of approaches to the still and its occupant succeeded in his work, officers finding no one at the still. A cushion and thermos bottle were left behind by the lookout.

unparalleled opportunity of studying a primitive people who have been uninfluenced by outside culture.’’ It is hoped that a complete knowledge of this tribe will shed light on the delevelopment of other Athabascan tribes, particularly the Navajos in Arizona and Mexico. The Barren Grounds lie almost wholly within the Arctic Circle, more than 300 miles from Ft. Norman. The hardships of a winter in this region induced Osgood to make a 1,300-mile preliminary trip on the rivers north of Edmonton last summer, in order to learn what he may expect. The expedition is being financed by the National Museum of Canada. Seeks Books For Hospital By Times Special BRAZIL, Ind., June I.—The first branch in the history of the Brazil public library is to be established in the new Clay county hospital. Every resident of the county is being asked to contribute books for the branch.
