NANSEN INDICATED.
His Prediction That the Fran
Would Drift TO Spitzbergen,
OR SOME OTHER POINT N THE OPEN SEA,
Verified by the Arrival Of the Steamer,
Which He Left in March, 1895, at
Skjsrvoe, a Fishing Port Neai
the North Cape.

CHRIsrfANiA, Norway, Aug. e0-Dr.
Nansen's Arctic exploring steamer
Fran has arrived at skjervoe, fish.
ing port on the bay near the North
cape.
A dispatch from skjervoe to the
Aftenposten says that on August IA
the FraE. called at Danes island, where
visit was made to NJ. Andre, the
Swedish explorer, whose intention 1t
is to find the north pole by means OF a
balloon. NJ. Andre has not yet made
his ascension. The Fran sailed from
Skjervoe for Tromsoe to-day Thurs
day. All on board were well. The
Fran, with DIR. Nansen on board,
sailed from Christiania June ~, 1894.
DIR. Nansen's plan was to make for
the new Siberian islands, and thence
sail directly north until the Fran
should be imbedded In the ice, then
drift along with it, following the west
coast of any land that might be met.
Nansen left the Fran in March, 1898,
in lat. 81. long. i0i7, to explore north
of the Franz Josef route, and her ar
rival at Skjervoe is strictly in accord
ance with his prediction that she
would eventually arrive at Spitzber'
gen or some other point in the open
sea.

SUCKER DIET FOR wBIsER.

The government has furnished 1
carload OF white fish for Bear Lake
in Idaho. We congratulate ouI
neighbors on having better luck will
the great and mysterious fish com
mission. Frank Harris and the
editor did good deal of correspond
ing In the effort to get stock of de.
cent food fish for the Snake river
here. They at Washington were
dumfounded ut our utter ignorance
OF our own locality and tried to make
us understand that Snake river was
fairly alive with the most delicious
mountain trout and it was against
the policy of the government fish de-
partment to put bass, pickerel, cat
fish or other like species in such
streams to eat all the sweet and
gentle little trout up. In vain we
protested that only suckers, clubs
and old scabby SOW surgeons could
be caught out OF the Snake, it only
further displayed our own idiotic lack
OF knowledge OF our owa surround
ings, and convinced the fish officials
that there wasn't a fisherman here
who knew a trout from tobacco
worm. Our protest that we could
furnish thousands OF allidavits that
there wasn't decent food fish in the
river, except small and constantly
diminishing short semi annual run of
salmon, and the present fish inhabl.
tants were only fit to serve as food
to better and more palatable varieties,
was only an indication that we should
he in the asylum. Our bony old
suckers were still tender and delic-
ious trout which they could not risk
destroying and our numbering, course
old 500-pound sturgeon were in i'm
minent danger Of being devoured by
u x-pound bass if our wild request
was hearkened to. They knew our
representations were fishv.
