NO FLASHING" FOR THE POLE.
Progress Northward Is Rather by Slow
and Painful Stages.

"Will someone kindly tell me-
spoke the man from behind news
paper why they are always speaking
about a dash for the pole? My i'm
preston of these Polar expeditions
gained from reading, is that they pro.
coed by painful and tedious stages
creeping along over vast eXpanses OF
ice and snow, climbing YEARLY over
the ice hills and hummOcks and stop
ping to bridge yawning CTevasses and
pitfalls. The word dash in my mind
is always associated with a sharp.
quick run to a certain point, and yet
we are told that sometimes Polar eX.
plorers manage to make only a mile
or two a day and that by the hardest
work. How can any one call progress
that often lasts several months a
DASH
I'VE read that Wellman is going to
make a dash for the pole by means
of a balloon We are told that Peary
is going to make a dash for the pole
by means of ice slCdges drawn by Els
quimau dogs And now ! see by the
paper here that another explorer is
going to make a dash for the pole
in sledges drawn by Polar bears. Now
my impressions of Polar bears are
that they are slow and sluggish in
movement How is one going to make
a dash with such ungainly crea
tures?"
