enclosed by board fence four feet
eight inches high. All lots are paved
with brick. The sheds are not paved.
These lots have gates leading into
each other, to the alley, and out Of
the south end of the lots. There is
also a gate in each lot so placed that
it, together with the gate between the
lots, can close the space between the
fence and feed bunk, thereby making
it possible to confine the cattle under
the shed while the lots are cleaned
and in the lots when the sheds are
cleaned. Each lot is furnished with
feed bunk for concentrated feed and
two managers for hay. One watering
tank is provided for two lots.

About the time of the achievement
of American independence series Of
expeditions were started, which con-
tinued without break till 1885. With
out yielding success these bore impor-
tant fruits in the direction of afford

The chief of these were those COM
manded by Capt. Cook, Capt. Van
couver, Capt. Ross, Capt. Parry, Cap
tains Frank and Lyon and Capt. Back.
The next great expedition was that
commanded by Sir John Franklin,
which was lavishly fitted out by Eng

An1ur1dsen's Transit of
the Northwest Passage

discover the passage received a fresh
impetus through the explorations of
Capt. John Davis, who sailed up the
strait which now bears his name, as
far as seventy degrees north, and re-
ported open water further up yet. He
then surveyed the east and west sides
of the straits, but without further i'm
portant results
The great Henry Huson, who had
previously attempted the Northeast
passage, which corresponds to the
Northwest in theory, but seeks a tran
sit across Asia instead of America, de-
voted his time in an effort to find that
for which Cabot, Frobisher and Davis
had sought in vain.
The outcome of his work was the
discovery of the Hudson strait and
bay. He believed the latter to be
none other than an inlet of the Pacific

in honor of Franklin, did not find any
trace of the expedition.
The searchers for Franklin thor
oughly explored the district with the
result that many straits were found
that connected Dayis and Bering
straits:
1t was Capt Mcclure who really dis
covered the feasibility Of crossing from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, though he
himself did not succeed in completing
the transit.
Amundson, who is a Norwegian and
comrade of Nansen, left Norway in
June, 1908. He had no intention. of
seeking the North pole. His two goals
were a completion of the Northwest
passage and an investigation of, the
magnetic pole. .:
In both he succeeded. The explorer
established his first base in Leopold
harbor, where he made absolute mag
netic observations during 1904. He es-
tablished his second base station on
King Williams island in the summer
of 1905, and erected self-registering in

For navigator to have succeeded
Cabot, Hudson, Baf1n, Davis and Sir
John Franklin failed is no small feat.
The name Of Capt. Roald Amundsen
will so into the Walhalla of great ex-
plorers, for he is the first man to
complete transit of the Northwest
passage, a feat which has been the
5O0-year dream of seamen.
Huge sums of money and thousands
If lives have been sacrificed and untold
suffering undergone, in the hope of
finding short route across the north
ernmost part of America. It was the
dream OF such passage that led to
the discovery of the American CONT
nent.
Mighty vessels have been built
which were designed to resist the
fierce tides and the floating ice in the
.reacherous straits, and it is a curious
circumstance that when the big YES
sells failed, success has finally come to
little cockleshell Of boat only sew
enty feet long and twenty wide.
The total crew of the Gioa, includ-
ing Capt Amundsen, numbered only
eight men, yet these came through in
safety where Sir John Franklin and
Ills 129 perished.
Now that the feat has been accom-
plished, it cannot be denied that it rep
resents little gain Of practical value.
A passage that has only been threaded
once in five centuries, and then only
after a dangerous trip of two years,
can scarcely be said to hold out much
promise Of commercial reward.
Capt Amundsen's investigation of
the magnetic pole will probably prove
of much greater utility, but there is
that in the final conquest of the North
west passage that appeals strongly to
the imagination, and far outstrips the
colder scientific achievement.
Man will reap no financial benefits
from the Northwest passage, but it
was his cupidity that started the quest.
The discoveries made centuries ago
oy the Portuguese and -.Spaniards in
the south 1atitudes of Asia prompted
other nations of Europe to seek a.
shorter route. to the wealth of the
Eastern country.
John Cabot, the discoverer Of the
American continent, reasoned that the
feasible plan was to cross the Atlantic,
find an avenue across the comparative
'ly narrow expanse of northernmost
America, and then by continuing west
ward, to reach Asia.
He made the attempt in 1887, but
found his progress barred by New
foundland and Labrador
Three years later Gaspard Cortereal
and his brother made three voyages
in the same direction, and on reaching
Newfoundland, sailed north. In every
trial they were stopped on the coast
OF Labrador, and having failed to pro-
vide for any relief in case their pro-
visions became exhausted, finally per.
ished.
This is the first record of life lost in
the quest of the Northwest passage,
though in the two hundred-odd voyages
that have followed there are abundant
instances where starvation and cold
have brought many an intrepid life to
an end on the barren arctic wastes.
Seventy-nine years after the Cabot
expedition, James Frobisher started
out on a second important attempt In
each of the succeeding two years he
repeated his efforts, but. was doomed

stages at the point where they cease

laid down temporarily is seldom re

SAYS PROHIBITION
IS BOUND.TO CONE.
Ex.ATTORNEY GENERAL BELLINGfR
SAYS A GENERAL STATE Law
WILL Be PASSED.

| COLUMBIA, August %. - The
Hon G Duncan Bellinger, formerly
attorney general Of South Carolina,
who is now practlclug law in Col
umbla. has recently made several
business trips to Washington and
Baltimore, and IN conversation on
his return he stated that there is a
great deal of signifcarce being every
where attached to the growth of the
prohibition sentiment in this coun-
try, especially in the South. Mr.
Bellinger has never advocated State
prohibition, but he is Democrat
and believes in the rule of the MAJ
iority, and he is convinced that the
people of South Carolina will soon
demand the passage of prohibition
law, just haa been done in Georgia
and will be done in North Carolina.
! 81 believe" said Mr. Bellinger,
"that the wisest thing for the Pro-
hibitionists to do would be to enact
a Law giving the whole State pro-
hibition and permitting those coun-
ties which desire to have whiskey
sold therein to vote it in instead of
requiring, as now, the counties which
want prohibition to vote whiskey
out. Under the present arrange.
ment the whole burden is on those
who oppose the sale Of whiskey and
this sheuld not be. The present.
law makes it necessary for those op-
posing the sale of whiskey to get up
the petitions for the election and to
wage the campaign for prohibition;
then after the election If there is q
contest, the prohibitionists are COM
PEELED to put up funds to light 1t.
Those who are interested, either
financially or otherwise, in the sale
of whiskey will naturally be prepared
to spend money to retain this privi-
lege, but it is hard to compel the
sincere prohibitionists to 60 down
into their pockets and put up the
m oney for such fight.
"My firm and myself personally
have represented the dispensary
faction in many of the contests which
have been brought to test the legal
ity under the Brice law and the
Carey. .Cothran law, and the sugges
ton I am making will not only not
bring me any money, but if put into
effect would cost me heavily, but l
am convinced that it is the best plan
to insure the success of prohibition
in this State. While I was always
a dispensary man as long as was in
politics, my sympathles throughout
life have been with those forces
making for temperance, law and
order, and I admire the sincere pro-
hibitionist.
"There is no use denying the force
of the sentiment which is growing
in favor of prohibition in this and
other Southern States, and if the
prohibitionists are wise they will
substitute for the present unsatis-
factory law a State prohibition law,
which will cover the Commonwealth
like blanket, putting on those who
want whlskey sold in any county the
onus of securing an election and Of
lnstituting the dispensary. The
pr rohlbitionists have the power to do
this if they choose, and it is to their
adyantape to do 40. Personally,
