QUEST OF NORTH POLE.
Plan for international Direction Of
Polar Exploration.

Plan for international Direction Of
Polar Exploration.
1t is practically certain that within
a comparatively short time some eH-
plorer will reach the North Pole.
In 1899 Captain Cagni of the Italian
expedition was within 236 miles of the
most northern extremity of the earth
and it is quite probable that some
member of an expedition now in the
arctic regions will make a new record
even If the pole itself is not reached.
An interesting development in the
plan of exploration has Just been set
forth by the International Congress OF
Economic Expansion in its convention
at Mons, Belgium, which adopted a mo-
ton approving plan for international
direction of polar exploration and ask
ing Belgium to take the initiative in
inviting the cooperation of other ma.
tions.
The discovery of the North Pole is
now matter of systematic and per-
sistent effort, rather than of bold cour
age or good luck. Or, to say the same
thing in other words, the discovery is
largely question OF the amount of
cab available for this purpose. IL the
amount that has already been spent
for this purpose without success were
now available in lump sum, there
is little doubt that the pole could he
discovered. Any government of
first-class power could send an eXpedi
tion to the pole, If it were worth the
cost. 1t is not probable that there are
any difficulties or dangers to be en-
countered in the 236 miles remaining
that are any greater than those that
have been already successfully over
come.
The old myths and terrors have no
place in scientific geography and it
would he Il transcendent surprise II
any phenomenal features were found at
or near the pole.
The problem Is largely one of COM
missariat. II is a question OF supply
ing the provisions, clothing and other
supplies necessary 10 keep men alive
for the time necessary to go from the
northern limit of ice free navigation
to the pole.
Secondarily. it is a problem of trans
portation. for the supplies and for the
explorers. Given an unlimited treas
ury, and Il series of food stations could
be established and regular traffic main
tanned between them as far as the pole
itself.
The United States government could
If it desired to do so, establish mail
route to the North Pole, and keep IT
going with reasonable regularity and
frequency.
The reason why North Pole explor-
ers have failed is simply because they
have not employed the means neces-
sary to accomplish the desired result
If the plan of international exploration
Is undertaken in earnest, 1t is certain
that the North Pole will be reached

Colorado Springs Gets II.

New York.-It was announced to-day
that national home for the letter
carriers will be built at Colorado
Springs by the National Letter Car
riers' Association, which is holding its
biennial convention. One hundred and
sixty acres adjoining the Union Print
ers' Home were accepted by the ma
tional association.
An option was recently obtained by
the Colorado Springs Merchants Asso-
citation from the state at the rate of
$40 an acre The home will cost $780,
900 1t will probably not be until after
the next convention in 1907 that work
will actually begin. There are $4,000
members of the association and n SO
assessment would provide a fund OF
$50 900.

Wonders at Home.

Within very recent years the Ameri'

ing as they never did before the won
ders of their own country. They went
abroad for scenery and to view places
of historical interest. unmindful that
their own land contained spectacles un-
rivaled elsewhere and relics of civi.
lization that is prehistoric. Places that
only a few years ago had hardly risi'
tor now attract many thousands an
nually. The Yellowstone Park has be-
come well known. so also the stupen'
dous canon of the Colorado. the ter.
rife domes of the Yosemite, the impos-
ing Sierras rising abruptly almost from

miles. America abounds with miracles

Unprecedented Prosperity.

Unprecedented prosperity is the
present lot of the United States OF
America, says the Chicago Record
Herald. A greater prosperity is the
promise of the immediate future. The
year 1905. just turned into its last
third. all eady has smashed records
right and left. Everything that goes to
make up business and industrial life
is on the boom. and the barometers of
finance. of commerce. of agriculture,
of building and of manufacturing. one
and all indicate the continuance of fair
skies. There isn't cloud visible any
where on the horizon.
Business has been forging ahead by
such leaps and bounds that the car
riers have been caught short of equip
ment with which to move products.
Railroads, striving to do the best
within their power, have bewildered

OTTO MEARs REDivIvuS.
Wizard Of the San Juan Piucked Vic
tory From Defeat.

Denyer=Otto Mears was in town
yesterday, says the Denver Republican,
and made the important political an
nouncement that he had taken up his
legal residence at Silverton and would
henceforth vote in that city and be a
part of the Silvery San Juan delega-
tion to the Republican gatherings.
Great is Mr.. Mears! IL the state capi-
tol, which he helped to build. were to
fall upon him he would escape injury.
Mr. Mears is on the highroad TO for

will take care of II. He has made
good many millions in his day. A year
or so ago Mr.. Mears was a bit down
on his luck; now he is away up in
Mount Sneffels. All of the Denver liti-
cations against him have been settled
and his Silverton road is doing an enor-
nous business. There is no longer any
talk of taking the Mears window from
the legislative halls.
"Thirty-five years ago | went and
blazed the trails. built wagon roads
and railroads, and now I'm back again

And | never lost my faith in Silverton.
For twenty years Mr.. Mears carried
the note of man for money loaned
him, and to save his relatives any
heartache, said nothing about the mat
ter. Just when the Mears fortune
seemed to be at the lowest ebb his
good deed was brought TO light and the
silver lining appeared in the sky. One
of the dead mans relatives made the
amende honorable.

Moffat Road Tunnel.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Central City says: Surveyor Argo and
assistants of the Moffat road, who have
been located near the head of South
Boulder creek for the last two weeks,
left yesterday for Gore canon to make
other surveys for the same road. They
have been making the final surveys for
the proposed tunnel from the head of
South Boulder creek through the main
range west of James peak into Middle

1t is reported that the surveyors
made the final surveys on what is to
be known as the lower proposed tun-

through the range about three miles,
and that the Moffat road officials will
consider the advisability of starting
work at both ends of the tunnel within
