WALTER WELLMAN is AGAIN A POLE SEARCHER

SpitzbergeD. In that year Welman
tried to reach the pole by sledge and
boat using a ship at Spitzborgen as his
base. His boat was crushed by ice
foes but he continued TO press north
ward by sledge until he was compelled
TO abandon the search near the eighty
first parallel.
Mr. Wellman's second venture into
the frozen north was made In lS9S-99.
on this occasion he went to Franz
Josef Land In the Norwegian steam
sealer frithjof, a famous arctic craft,
which he chartered himself At the far
northern Russian city OF Archangel he
took on eighty-four dogs, which had
been brought 1000 miles over the ST.
berlan wastes. Then he made for
Franz-Josef Land. arriving there July
25 As luck would have IL. it was an
unusually hard season in the arctic. and
he fonnd II impossible to push farther
north. lie remained until autumn and
was forced TO establish his base at
Cape Yagethoff. An outpost was left
seventy miles farther north. and two
experienced arctic navlgators volun-
teered TO remain there all winter Well
man promising to relieve them In the
spring. In the latter part of February.
accompanied by three faithful Norwe-
gian comrades, he set out on the relief
journey. 1t was very early for sledg-
ing, AND the little party had a hard
time OF II. At last, however, they
reached the outpost One OF the sem
tlnels had died but the survivor was
well and In good spirits
The party then made dash for the
pole. Good progress was made until
two accidents ruined all chances. One
was an injury to Wellman's leg and the
other an ice movement at night which
caught the camp and destroyed most OF
the supplies. forcing the party TO beat
hasty retreat Farther advance was out
OF the question, and Wellman was
obliged TO give up the effort He re-
turned to headquarters. and here he
received a visit from the Duke OF the
Abruzzl who had come northward with
the Stella Polare.
Walter Wellman was born at Men,
tor, o., the home Of President Garfield
lie went to Michigan at an early age
and when he was fourteen made his
first journalistic venture. When he
reached his majority he established the
Cincinnati Evening Post For more
than twenty years he has been Wash
ington correspondent Of the Chicago
paper now known as the Record
Herald. lie Is married and has Ave
daughters Mr.. Wellman has written
much on arctic exploration and has de-
llvered addresses before tho British

society. His home is In Washington,

the whole undertaking seem ike

these unitarian scoffers that Mr.. Well
man has retorted. "Of what value is
great drama, fine story noble poem?
And what is this but an attempt TO

Happily, Mr. Wellman's latest and

vastly more, than the location OF that

Not yet down? Impossible, No flesh

Into and through the columns OF
shrinking horses and men in blue they
burst, like devils incarnate. Some of

troopers. But instantly the caval.ymen
whirl and give the swaying flying
braves another deadly volley at close

A very comprehensive bill has been
introduced in the House of Representa-
tves by Congressman Stevenson OF
Minnesota, who, if he can push his
measure to enactment into a law, will
be deserving of the praise of not only
this but future generations. His bill
is a practical extension of the old
homestead idea, or rather, perhaps, an
application, to the vast areas of our
swamp lands, OF the idea embodied in
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood OF
100 million acres of swamp lands in
the United States, some 20 million of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk of which would make splendid
farms. if the excess of water were
drained off.
The Stevenson bill provides for the
beginning of the work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the irrigation law; it pro
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitute drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment in great drainage works, and
further, that the cost of such drainage
