WASHINGTON RUSHING.
To borrow a rural phrase this has
been a might forward season. Every
thing is on the rush. A month before
the winter was due, the official pro-
ceedings and unofficial proceedings,
that belong to winter were In full
swing That has been true of matters
mundane from politics to society.
Probably 1t is entirely correct to say
that this is largely due to the energy
of the President.
For instance, Washington has always
been socially dull till after New Years.
Big official dinners were unheard of till
after the long line of visitors had
crowded within the White House with
The beginning of 1906 This year the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt were
giving official dinners early In Decem-
Der. All the other dinner givers of
Washington followed suit. The feet OF
merry dancers were started In De-
cember. where heretofore they have
been still till January.
Then there was Congress. Both
houses generally pursue very even
way till after the holidays. A scrap
In either branch or an outbreak among
the majority members has been almost
an impossibillty till month or more
Of the session has passed. This year
there were scraps plenty in both
branches and It began to look like
an advanced period of the session, when
men were getting tired out with
maneuvering and delays. But the
President was largely responsible for
that in injecting Panama canal appro-
priations, statehood, and other like
matters into the Congressional situa-
ton.
The holiday recess this year is for
two full weeks, which is a trifle longer
than usual. Some think that there will
be an ample time for all concerned to
cool down. but that remains to be seen.
The elements of trouble still exist. But
everybody who has been going 1t so
fast, whether in legislation or germans,
Is wondering how long the rapid pace
can be kept up. Statesmen as well as
society devotees may become very worn
before Lent comes.
There has been and will continue to
be a large influx of visitors in Wash
ington. Great doings In Washington
always attract multitudes from the
states and territories. The visitors are
coming from every section. The names
on the hotel registers are OF people
from Maine and every locality all the
way across the Continent, as well as
from Honolulu and the Philippines.
Many come for pleasure. as the tourist
contingent Is very large. But the in
creasing magnitude OF the govern
ment's operations brings people also
on business. before the departments. |
before Congress, and with the Presi- |
dent All this increases the cosmo-
politan character Of the eity's popula-
ton during the winter months.

Fine Sugar Plantations.

Franklin, La: Messrs. Caffery &

tract with r. F. Habert to purchase his
plantation for $4,000. They put UP
a forfeit of $3.50 to guarantee the full
filling of the contract. MesSrs. Caffery
& Martel recently purchased the two
plantations of Joseph Brig. Mr.. Ha-
berts plantation adjoins the planta-
tons of Mr.. Brig, and in acquiring the
three plantations Messrs Caffery &
Martel will have one of the finest
sugar properties in this section. This
plantation has been in the Habert fam
lily for more than twenty eight years.
The purchasers will take possession
of the Brig plantations.

Capt. McClintock discovered in King
Williams Land the remains and rec
ords of the lost explorers. All of the
105 members of the party had per-
ished of cold and hunger.
Another Inflated polar expedition
was that fitted out by the New York
Herald, and commanded by Command
er De Long, of the United States
navy. The steamer Jeanette sailed
through Behring straits and became
ice-bound. For two years the help
less vessel drifted with the ice, the
great pack finally crushing her staunch
hull and forcing the members of the
expedition to take to three small boats.
One of the boats reached settlement
and obtained relief, another was lost
in a storm and Of the third all but
two of its occupants persisted Of cold
and starvation.
Probably no other name is so in
timately associated with arctic ex-
ploration as that of Robert E. Peary.
U. S. N, who it is was thought prob
able has sacrificed his life to the cause
of unraveling the mysteries Of the
north. Since 1886 arctic exploration
has been practically hobby with him.
and during the past 20 years he has
made eight voyages to the polar re-
gions for purposes of scientific study
and exploration, giving to the world
more valuable information than has
been secured from any other one
source. 1t was Lieut.. Peary who
proved that Greenland is an island;
he discovered independence bay on the
Greenland coast, five degrees farther
north than any previous authentic dis
coveries; he crossed the Greenland ice
cap and he gave to the world its first
knowledge of the Whale Sound Eski-
mos.
Walter Wellman, who heads the
novel airship expedition, is not nov
ice at arctic exploration, as this is
his third trip into the frozen north.
The first of these was in 1894 when
he tried to reach the pole over the
Spitzbergen route by the use of alumni
mum boats. In May, 1898, he started
on second voyage, but on this ex-
petition he met with painful acct
dent at a time when success seemed
sure, and had to return.

FAR INTO THE
FROZEN NORTH
History of the Polar ExpLor-
atoms of the Past.

Lieut.. R. E. Peary is now in the
north in an eighth attempt to reach
'he pole, If, as seems probable, he has
not already persisted in the arctic re-
Slons as have so many others before
MIN. Walter Wellman, newspaper cor
respondent and explorer of worldwide
reputation, is at Spitzbergen, from
which point he will make his third at
tempt to reach the pole, this time by
means OF an airship. Solomon Au-
gust Andre sacrificed his life and the
lives OF two companions in an effort
10 reach the cap of the earth in a bal
loon.
Practically the whole of arctic ex-
plOratlon history has been made with.
IN less than the last 100 years, though
the hrSt arctic voyage was made as
early as 1900 by Portuguese navi-
gator in an effort to discover the
northwest passage to India. While
many later voyages were made for the
same purpose the first expedition
made with the idea of reaching the
pole was not made until early In the
last century. Since that time many
lives have been sacrificed in an effort
TO conquer the elements of the frozen
north and wiring from them the secrets
supposed to lie at the top of the world.
One of the largest expeditions or
ganized for arctic exploration, and one
OF the most disastrous, was that Of
Sir John Franklin, which sailed from
England in 1915, and entered the
arctic regions by the Baffin bay route
in July of that year. No member Of

The nails are now ready to be pol.
