Messrs. William 81. Brown and
R H. Proudfoot Of this city have
at last consummated the purchase
of the Patrick McNamara, forty
acre tract, which investors have
been endeavoring to buy for years.
The tract Of land adjoins the city
on the east and Adults fourth,
fifth. sixth and seventh street.
The price paid for this land by the
gentlemen named is upwards of
500 per acre, the highest price
ever paid for piece Of land in this
county. As soon as spring opens,
the gentlemen will plat the tract.
The lots will be all so feet wide.
Wide alleys will be noticeable in
the new addition, sidewalks will
be laid out on every street. It is
proposed by Messrs. Brown and
Proudfoot to have a condition in
serted in each deed compelling
purchasers to build houses of a
certain valuation and size on the
lots, so that there will be no shacks
or shanties in the new addition
This tract is one that is naturally
a fine one for residence purposes
1t is high and located near the
business portion of the city and
should be an aristocratic portion

A NEW HOTEL.
For Devils Lake is Practically Assur
ed in the Spring.


A stock company has been par
TALLY formed, its object being to
construct $4,000 hotel in this
city, which will be modern in every
way. The structure will be three
or four stories high with Offices
and stores in the lower story. It
will have a basement fitted up with
sample rooms and will be first
class in every particular. Already
two prominent people of this city
have subscribed $500 each towards
the erection of the hotel. It is
proposed that the company shall
run the hotel itself, unless it can
be proitably rented. This is a
movement that deserves the hearty
support of the business men Of this
city. The accommodations at
present are behind the times.
Transients cannot find rooms to
sleep in half the time. If modern
hotel were erected, many families
from out of town would move here
and rent apartments. The plan Of
the new hotel, makes itan 80 room
building. A number of business
men who have been seen by the
projectors of the enterprise have
a willingness to subscribe
to the fund quite literally, but up
to the time Of going to press, ar
rangements had not been complet-
ed 80 that the signatures Of many
persons could besobtained. Devils
Lake is up-to-date in most partic-
ulars, but it lacks a frstclass hotel.
The business of the city proves
that it can support such hotel as

q ATTRACTIONS.
Past and Future Events at the Local
~ Play House.
Sanford Dodge and company
played to two packed houses Of
pleased people at the Devils Lake
opera house Thursday and Friday
evenings. On both nights the
house was crowded to its utmost
capacity and large number of
persons we're pleased to obtain
standing room. On Thur sday
the beautiful romantic drama
"Ingomar the Barbarian" was
presented, with Mr.. Dodge in the
title role. His acting left nothing
to be wanted. The part is hard
one, but Mr.. Dodge in his por-
trayal of it, made decided hit
with his audience. Eugene
Shakespeare, as Polydor, an old
miser, proved thatEhe is an actor
and won many friends by his
playing. Charles Gay as Myron
sustained his excellent reputation
as a comedian. As Parthenia,
Zella Zee Leslie has no superior
in the sweet sympathetic part.
The others of the cast did remark
ably we'll, and one wonders how
Mr.. Dodge can afford to carry
such q company.
Ip Virginius, Mr.. Dodge has a
perfect production of the great
tragedy by Sheridan Knowles.
Each character was we'll taken,
and Mr.. Dodge in the title role,
which he has made, proved that
he is a~great tragedian. Paul
Terhune, as the Decemvir of
Rome, took part, with the house
against him as we'll as if each
word he said received hearty ap-
plause. His acting was fine.
Eugene Shakespeare, as Icilius
made his part come out with such
force that everyone spoke of his
acting the. next day. Deatatus
was the popular James Harrison,
who has always done we'll and
maintained his reputation.
Horatio Carpen ter, the handsome
young fellow who was Caius Claud-
ius, gave a smooth rendition of
his part. leila 2. Leslie seemed
more beautiful than ever in her
sweet part and one did not wonder
that those in the play fell in love
with her. Miss Kingley was an
excellent Lucia, and her portrayal
of the male part won her numer-
GUS friends. Miss Bootb, who is
a recent addition to the company
and niece of the great actor, took
her part in a pleasing manner.
The whole performance was a
pleasant one and it is hoped that
Mr.. Dodge and his excellent COM
pany will be engaged for a series
of performances by the Chautau-
qua management.
A Bachelors Romance is a
comedy drama that cannot fail to
please. It is not made up of conf.
cal situations entirely, but there
is a pleasing heart story in con-
nection with it, filed in with
enough comedy to make one feel
good natured throughout the per-
formance. The part Of the bache-
lor is an exceedingly neat one,

arctic render it the most inhospitable
and dangerous region on the globe;
much more so than the Arctic.
The weird and fantastic quality OF
the whole region is we'll described by
Henryk Arctowski, a member of the
Belgica expedition. He says:
1.-THE silence which broods at times
over this unknown world is singularly
impressive, but occasionally noun
tain of ice collapses with laundering
crash. One could hardly believe ones
eyes when these changes in the fairy
like scenes occurred were it not for the
dull rumbling growl of the disrupted
glaciers. In fact, this realm of eternal
ice is so different from anything one
has seen that it appears another world
altogether. In sober truth, l do not
believe that in any fable the human
imagination has described what we
bave seen here" In view of the great
interest which attaches to the expedi-
ton of 1901, and the very radical
changes which their explorations may
bring about in Antarctic geography, 1t
will be of interest perhaps to go over
briefly the history of the region and
our present knowledge regarding it.

SEEKING THE SOUTH POLE.

The two most important exploring
expeditions which have ever been fit
ted out for the South Polar seas will
start from England and Germany this
month-the English in the Discovery
and the German in the Gauss, both of
them new ships especially constructed
for an Antarctic exploration and
equipped with everything needful for
the most complete and varied scien-
tific observation, even including a cap
tive balloon, and an electrical plant
The two vessels are about the same
eize-170 feet in length and 35 feet in
breadth land have displacements of
about 1,500 tons. They are strongly
built of oak and sheathed with green
heart. The bows are steel-plated, and
made with a great sheer, so that they
will tend to ride up on the ice ana
break 1t with their weight. They are
rugged for sailing, but carry auxiliary
steam engines of about 400 horse
power, and the screws and rudders are
so arranged that they can be hoisted
out of the water in case of danger
from ice. The living rooms in both
vessels are amidships, the stoke hole

there was originally a uniform fauna
throughout all the seas of the globe,
which is now surviving only at the
poles, having been superseded in the
warmer regions of the ocean by newly
developed forms.
The North pole, chiefly for geograph-
lcal reasons, has been much more sue
cessfully and continuously attacked
than its southern counterpart. The
cause of this is plainly shown by the
two diagrammatic maps.
The North pole is closely surround
ed by large land masses, all of them
inhabited and fairly accessible. The
Antarctic continent Cf it is a contin>
ent) lies in the midst of a great ocean,
the nearest land being the narrow ex-
tremity of South America, many hun
dreds of miles away. So that while
the North pole has been approached
to within about 225 miles, no human
being has ever been nearer than about
700 miles to the South Polar axis.
1t seems at first rather surprising

ical difficulties, that an enormous re-

Fall PasturIng stock.

Press Bulletin SO, of the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station, says: Where it is
possible to keep the stock off dried-up
pastures and put them on sorghum or
other pasture, it should be done. If
the stock are kept entirely off the
grass it will make slight growth, no
matter how dry and hot the weather
may be, and then when we get fall
rains the pastures kept free from
stock now will furnish much more feed
and feed later in the season than if
tramped while dry.
Sorghum, Kaffir corn, COW peas and
alfalfa make pasture after cattle be-
come accustomed to them, but great
care must be used in starting stock
on such pastures. At the College we
fill the cattle with straw or hay in the
morning and then turn them on the
sorghum or other green crops only fif-
teen minutes the first day. the next
day thirty minutes, and then increase
the time fifteen minutes each day I'M

and engine room being placed right
aft, while the whole lower hold is util-
lied as coal bunker. Captain Scott
commands the English expedition and
DR.. Won Drygalski the German.
1t is expected that the commanders
of the two expeditions will work to-
gether and follow system suggested
by Sir Clements Markham, president of
the Royal Geographical Society, which
divides the region into four quadrants
two on the Australasian side and two
on the Cape Horn and Cape OF Good
Hope side. The first quadrant, from 80
degrees east to 1870 degrees, he names
Victoria; the second, from 1870 degrees
to 80 degrees west, in which the only
known land is Peter Island, is called
the Ross Quadrant; the third, from 80
degrees west to the meridian of Green
witch, is Weddell, and the fourth, ex-
tending from the Greenwich meridian
to 80 degrees east, about which the
least is known, is called the Enderby
Quadrant. The English expedition
will conflne it's operations to the Vic
toria and Ross Quadrants, the Ger
mans taking Weddell and Enderby.
The great unknown region comprised
in these four quadrants covers millions
of square miles, extending over prac-
tically thirty degrees of latitude 1t
is continually modifying the atmos-
phere of the whole southern hemi-
sphere, and yet we know almost moth
ing about it's meteorology. 1t is one
of the most interesting volcanic re-
gions on the face of the globe; recent
volcanic rocks are present everywhere
and active volcanoes are quite numer-
Gus, and we are entirely ignorant of
its geology. 1t Is one of the two great
world centers of magnetic phenomena,
and yet we know scarcely anything
regarding the magnetic conditions
which prevail, not even with any GER
tainty where the southern magnetic
pole is located. 1t is by all odds the
grandest field for ice study now exist
emit, and yet no one has studied the ice
there. The mysterious ice barrier ris-
ing out of $50 fathoms of water and
stretching its perpendicular face for
hundreds of miles through the frozen
seas like gigantic wall-perhaps the
sea face of the greatest glacier in the
world; perhaps the edge of an enor-
nous island of ice anchored over the
pole; perhaps, indeed, something still
more remarkable than either of these
lis certainly one of the greatest nat
ural curiosities in the world.
The region has fauna and flora of
its own apparently very similar to that
of the Arctic world The few fossils
which have been picked up indicate
that there was time when it was
crowded with plants and animals. The
life of the Antarctic seas is very varied
and numerous. The tropical oceans
which now separate the two poles
seem to present an effectual barrier
to any communication, and it is mat
ter of much interest to discover what
the Arctic and Antarctic identity of
life forms is due to. Various specula-
lions have been put forward; one of
these is that deep, cold currents ira
verse the warmer waters of the ocean
and form hidden roadways, as it were,
by which the two polar faunas are
connected. Another theory is that

elements in the southern hemisphere,
and to locate the south magnetic pole,
which Gauss had placed at about 146
degrees east longitude and sc degrees
south latitude. CAS- determined by the
Borchgrevink expedition, the south
magnetic pole is 70 degrees 20 minutes
south latitude and LAG degrees east
longitude.) Sir Joseph Hooker, the
famous botanist. then plain DR.. Hook
er, accompanied the expedition. It's
ships were the Erebus and Terror. Vic
toria Land was discovered and named;
Mounts Erebus and Terror, the former
an active volcano, 12,400 feet in height,
were discovered. The ice barrier from
$50 to 200 feet in height, was followed
for $50 miles, but no opening could be
found. Ross subsequently reached rs

ton until the voyages of the BeIgica,

most exclusively to sealers. Borch-
grevink, of the latter expedition,

the earth began to gain ground the old
geographers decided that an antarctic
continent would be necessary to pre-
serve the symmetry of the earth. Ac-
cording to Pomponius Mela, between
the real world" which he knew and
his hypothetical Antarctica there lay
an intensely torrid zone, scorched by
the sun and enveloped in mist, over
which it was impossible for man to
sail. And he accounted for the volume
of the Nile by suppoeing it to rise in
this southern continent, pass under the
waters of the torrid zone, and again
come to the surface in South Africa.
AS commerce was gradually extended
In all directions these fantastic notions
were one by one dispelled, and al
though during the middle ages the idea
OF an antipodes, or anticl1thone, as it
was also called, was considered hereti-
cal and rejected by the church, geog-
raphy was being gradually perfected
on the basis of Ptolemy's great work.
Through the perseverance of Prince
Henry the Navigator, who sent out
vessel after vessel, the southern limit
of Africa was fixed, and it was clear
ly shown that whatever land lay to
the south had no connection with it.
An antarctic continent appeared on
SchOner's globes in 1915.
Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch ex-
plorers worked away at the islands just
south of the known continents, and
many of them were named as portions
of a great antarctic land. Cook in his
second voyage, 1772-5, sailed around
the globe between 40 degrees and 60
degrees south latitude, discovered the
great ice barrier, and finally settled
the much discussed question of land
connection between the continents and
Antarctica. Cook reached a south lat
itude of II degrees 10 minutes, the
highest then attained. Here he found
immense fields of ice, which extended,
unbroken, for miles. Whales, blue,
brown, and white petrels, and a few
sooty albatrosses were the only ami
mails seen. The Russian expedition,
commanded by f. G. Won Bellinghau-
sen, 1819-21, reached SO degrees SO
minutes in longitude 80 degrees 10
minutes. James Weddell, in 1928,
sailed with two vessels on a sealing
expedition. He reached a south latf-
tude of IA degrees Is minutes in longi-
tude "a degrees Is minutes west At
this high latitude, exceeding Cooks
by three degrees, he found the sea
open and only three icebergs visible.
Many minor expeditions followed
these, and a number of new islands
were discovered and named. Among
these minor expeditions may be men
toned those of Lieut.. Wilkes of the
United States navy, and French ex-
petition in charge of M. D'Urville.
The next expedition of leading i'm
portance was that of Sir James Clark
Ross, 1903, and, indeed, the only one,
up to the two which will start this
month, with anything like a satisfac-
tory equipment, which has ever at
tackled the Antarctic seas. This was
a purely scientific expedition, it's chief
purpose being to study the magnetic

for the explorer and scientist, should
still, at the beginning of the twentieth
century, be practically untouched, es-
pecially in view of the great activity
there has been during recent years in
North Polar explorations, expedition
after expedition going out every year
nine, for instance, being planned for
1901. But, apart from the purely geo
graphical reasons, in the absence of
closely surrounding populations and
large land masses, the climate and
temperature conditions of the Ant
