Arrives Here in Skin Canoe from Juneau On Way New York Alberta Voight, the western Alaskan, who left Juneau a month ago or thereabouts in a walrus skin canoe bound for New York, arrived here late last night, having been delayed by bad weather, and plans to remain here until there is a change for the better. Voight said on arrival that it took him all week to get here from Ketchikan. One day he made only nine miles The canoe is low in the water when he and the outfit are aboard, giving only about two inches of freboard. He uses a double ended paddle and when the weather is favorable makes good speed. He is quite enthusiastic over the prospect of getting to New York. Voight at first planned to paddle from Seward, but he found the waters of the Gulf of Alaska so rough that he took his canoe as far as Juneau in the steamer Yukon and made the Alaska capital his starting point.

Poor Outlook for Prairie Crop This Season According to Report Canadian National Issued Today WINNIPEG, July 27. A merciless sun has seared and scorched the prairies during the past week so that unpre- cedent temperatures have obtained in many Darts ot the west. Under this terrific heat the crops already suffering from lack of moisture have deteriorated rapidly, so that not even the most sanguine observer is counting upon greater than a fifty per cent yield, according to the thirtieth weekly crop report ot the Canadian National Railways, issued today. Wheat sown on summer tallow will be very light in almost every part of the west," Hills, Melfort, and southward to Saskatoon, Humboldt and Wat-rous. is weathering the abnormal weather conditions. Manitoba, because of scattered showers, also has a fighting chance for a fair crop, but otherwise the outlook is, to say the least, pessimistic.
