Year in and year out the search for the

from making renewed attempts at
finding the pole nor prevent others

that one party of explorers gets lost
in the ice or is unheard from for a
long time, and then a relief expedition
is sent after it. Perhaps third
party is sent to look for the relief ex-
pedition.
1t is two years since Anthony Fiala
sailed from Norway on the expedition
equipped by the late William Ziegler
of Brooklyn to look for the north pole.
The America. in which Fiala and his
fellow explorers hoped to reach a point
near the pole, was crushed in the ice
early in the winter of 10000 and
lost, with large part of her coal and
provisions. The loss of the ship pre-
vented Fiala from successful prosecu-
ton of his plans for polar exploration,
although several attempts We're made
by him and his fellow adventurers to
reach high ATTITUDES. They did not
get higher than 50 degrees 13 minutes.
The scientific work planned was sue
cessfully carried out, however, by Will

in Franz-Josef Land saved the party

rescue

important financial commissions and
was largely influential in bringing
about the changes in the monetary sys-

ploma from Tulane university. In 1873
he married Miss Mary Barrett.
When Governor Blanchard was at
Washington he held the title of cham
pion shot of the District of Columbia.
His reputation as shot came from
his habit of trying his skill in shooting
galleries in Washington. AS a boy he
hunted for small game in the woods Of
Louisiana and became very fond Of the
sport. Once while on a trip with a
party of congressman the statesman
tried shooting at pipes suspended from
the ceiling Of a rifle range. Each was
to have six shots. Mr. Blanchard had
hit five pipes. and when he hit the
sixth it rebounded and struck another
and brought that down also. It wal
this record that brought him the cham
pionship.

The Exposition at Portland will
bring together both ends and the
middle and make them mutually
acquainted. The East ought to
know more about the West than
the West knows about the East, for
Eastsrners travel in the West more
than Westerners travel in the East;
but somehow these touring Eastern
ers do not seem to diffuse their
knowledge of the West when they
return home. Or perhaps the home
staying Fasteners refuse to believe
what their travel. neighbors
tell them of the West, because some
of those tales are tallish, so to
speak, and appear unbelievable to
the eye Of the conservative East
erner.
On the other hand, the East has
gained a mighty misconception Of
the West by placing credence in
tales entirely too tall for the proper
stature OF truth and veracity. The
wild ana woolly" West is the only
West which much OF the East wots
of. The tanned and tranquil West
they refuse to believe in, and they
entertain, also, in some quarters,
notion that the West is incapable
