County School Superintendent for the Com

Editor OF Tie Times:
Sir think the suggestion made by
The Times" that there should be a
good representation of farmers in the
Constitutional Convention, is a good one
and believe the farmers should press the
idea and sea t:?at some of the best men
in that calling are sent. but there is an
other class, ] have not yet seen men,
toned as Important and which in my
Judgment should form q material Gle
ment Ono OF The most vital and import
ant subjects 10 be dealt with in That as

thousand crystaliZed eggs and fully four
hundred thousand rations of coffee. This
coffee is of a new brand, a Japanese prep
aration known as "kato." and 1t has been
prepared in the tablet form, a tablet no
larger than cough lozenge affording
delicious cup of coffee. Practically all
the food taken will be of the concetrated
variety, and immense quantities of con-
densed milk will also be stored away in
the, floating larders. Mr. Baldwin expects
that his men will shoot enough seals,
bears and bird to provide a fair proper
ton of fresh meat, but he is not relying
upon this source of supply to any consid-
cradle extent. Dried and timed meat is
to be carried In large quantities, and the
new form of ration with which the Unit
ed States War Department recently made
experiments will be employed to some
extent. Desiccated potatoes and a great
variety of canned fruits will serve to
ward off the dread scurvy, which so Of
ten attacks crews forced to subsist on an
exclusively meat diet.

every person who has noted the extent to
which each successive exploring expe-
dftion has surpassed its predecessors in
magnitude and equipment. All the pre-
perations, however, which have been
made for any previous dash to the arc
tic appear insignificant in comparison
with the plans made for the expedition
which will leave New York, city in June
of the present year. This enterprise,
which is known officially as the Baldwin
Zeigler expedition. is under the direction
of Evelyn B. Baldwin, a man who tor
more than a decade has been engaged al
most exclusively in arctic work, and is
financed by William Zeigler the baking
powder magnate, who has announced his
intention to expend s., 100000 If necessary,
in his effort to float the Stars and Stripes
first at the north pole.
The route selected by Mr.. BALDWIN is
one never traversed before. There is
large territory in Franz Josef Land, lying
between the British channel and the Aus
TRAN sound, called by Mr.. Baldwin the
.Inter-channel route" which has never
been charted. This includes the regions
N the north and northeast OF crown
prince Rudolph Land. 1t is the explorer
intention to cross this territory, making
a complete geographical chart OF It, ana
then to make his dash for the pole from

being found that there was less room In
the car than had been anticipated.
Pushing northward after this disap-
pointment, Mr.. Baldwin spent the season
studying Arctic conditions, and In 1898-s9
he went to Franz Josef Land as a men,
Der of the Wehman Arctic expedition. He
spent three or four months last year In
Europe making investigations bearing up
on his present project. and probably no
other expedition has had plans so care
fully mapped out to the minutest detail
in advance. Mr.. Baldwin's chief con-
Germ now Is to beat out Lieut.. Peary and
Capt. Sverdrup. who are in command of
two separate expeditions which are forg-
ing TO the Pole by what is known as the
Greenland route" a different course
from that which will be followed by the
Baldwin party. AS indicative of the de-
termination of the man, 1t may be noted
that Mr.. Baldwin's plans contemplate a
voyage to the Antarctic should the north
em goal be reached by another ere his
. party has taken UP the race, and with
this possible contingency in view the
equipment of the two ships has been
made ample for a most extended voyage.
There will be stored in the holds of the
Baldwin vessels more than seventy-two

all picked for their qualifications as
beasts of burden, have already been
purchased in Siberia and will be ready
to join the expedition when the America
reaches the Norwegian rendezvous. That
these CANNES can be utilized to immense
advantage may be inferred from the fact
| that a good dog team will travel from
fifty to sixty niles day. a team OF five
dogs frequently moving from one thou
sand to fifteen hundred pounds, the load
| being strapped to a sled perhaps seven or
eight feet in length
The scientific side OF the expedition Is
likely to prove very important. Although
the projectors have been somewhat reti-
cent regarding this portion of their plans,
1t Is understood that several eminent SCI
entists Will accompany the party, and not
only is there hope of gaining much infor-
ma ton regarding the UNEMPLOYED region
to be traversed. but there is also reason
to expect that much additional data will
be secured bearing upon the Arctic re-
gion in general. Thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars have been expended for
an equipment of instruments of the most
modern and most expensive character.
and how complete will be this phase or
the enterprise, may be imagined from
the fact that arrangements have been
made 60 employ telephones and electric
The astronomical programme which has
been mapped out includes the determine
ton of latitude and longitude by numer-
Gus methods, as well as Investigations
along lines not usually taken up. Mag
netic and photographic work will of
course have considerable attention, and
Mr.. Baldwin anticipates that his expert
ence of several years In weather bureau
work will enable him to secure meteoro-
logical data Of value. A speciality will be
made of photogra phic work. A photog>
rapher is to accompany the
party, and It is the intention
to have the camera record Arctic condi-
lions and phenomena much more COM
pletely than on any previous occasion.
Explorer Baldwin has one hobby which
he will carry out II possible during the
present voyage. This is to erect and live
in the northernmost house in the world.
With this end In view. the equipment of
the party includes a portable house some
what on the order of the unique structure
which Count Won Waldersee carried with
him TO China. The structure which Is to
be taken into the Arctic, however, has
been deliberately planned with reference
to the exclusion Of cold. Great quantities
OF the material which formed the roofs
Of the buildings at the Omaha Exposition
are also being put aboard the vessel In
order 10 proNlde Sheus anu WinupIeahs
for the dogs and to shelter OF men when
making observations of various kinds.
The same precautions which dlstin-
gush other phases of the enterprise
characterize the preparation of clothing
for the men. Furs will be used, Mr.. Bald
win believing that natures bestowal Of
this covering on animals indicates to
mankind the source OF the best defense
against extreme cold. Furs WILL how
ever, be supplemented In all cases by
wooden underwear. and all the fur,
whether designed for clothing or sleep
ing bags. has been specially selected and
treated with exceptional care.
