Old Home w eek.


10 the EdltOr OF 1he Star:
/ have noticed in several recent issues of
The Star the discussions relative to an
"old home week for Washington, and
wish to say that it seems to be most de-
sirable and appropriate to have some such
celebration al the capital in the near fu-
ture
Washington, more than any other city,
is city, of homes. and a celebration of
the nature recently held in some other
cities would not only serve to bring back
those who call Washington "home"-and
there is no place like it-5ut might also be
the means of showing outsiders what our
city really is, and would, no doubt, help to
boom Greater Washington" No city is
better adapted to holding such an event,
for It's broad avenues furnish ample
marching room for the parades and
crowds.
Let the good work go on The Star has
brought other projects to successful con-
clusions. Boom this and it will be a go.

Company, will come to Denver soon.

which to erect a modern packing plant

.eived by w. T. Anthony, local man
lger for the company, and sets at rest
The rumors, said to have been started
by representatives of the trust and
other enemies of the independent con-
cern, that the announcement made
some time ago by the Schwarzschiid
& SulZberger company about starting
! plant here was done merely for ad-
vertising purposes, and that 1t would
never materialize.
1t is these rumors that have caused
Mr.. Sulzberger to come to Denver. He
was not prepared to take the matter
up Just yet, but. as shown in his tele-
gram to Mr.. Anthony. he is anxious to
refute- the statements that have been
circulated by the enemies of his firm.
and will now hurry things through to
4 completion. to demonstrate the sim
cerity of his company.
Mr.. Anthony said that the delay in
carrying out the plans was caused by
labor troubles. partly among the COM

WALTER WELLMAN AND HIS AIR
FIERCE SNOW STORM.
SHIP WEIGHS 9 TONS
GRAPHIC STORY TOLD BY DARING
EXPLORER WHO STARTED TO
FIND THE NORTH POLE

Berlin.-Wnlter Wellman, head Of
the Wellman airship expedition, has
sent the following telegram to the local
pape-s from Toronto:
after the steamer Express cast on
the cable the balloon America did ex-
cellently, but an increasing wind soon
gave us hard struggle, and the storm
drove us toward some high, Jagged
mountains near the coast, where the
airship would have been destroyed II
she struck. Then ensued hard fight
ing between the storm and the motor.
The latter triumphed. Our confidence
In the America had so increased in
the meanwhile that l gave the order
to start for the north pole.
''The wind, however, increased to
twelve miles an hour, and the snow fell
SO thickly that we could not see a
quarter of a mile. Just then the COM
pass failed to work, owing to defective
construction.
Lost in a Storm.
I'VE were lost in the snowstorm
above the polar sea, and threatened
with destruction. After brief deliber-
alton we decided to try to get back to
the Express and rectify our compass
and start again. 1t was impossible.
we were again carried into dangerous
proximity of the mountains. Vaniman,
tthe engineer, then put the motor to
top speed, and the America moved
against the wind, which probably was
blowing fifteen miles an hour. She
circled three times in the teeth OF the
wind. We saw the Express for mo-
met, but Immediately lost her again.
I'VE could have returned to the Ex-
press II we could have seen where to
steer, but under the circumstances tho
only thing possible was to try to land.
With this idea we stopped the motor
and let the America drift over the gla-
cier. At the end of Doul bay We used
trailer filled with provisions and a
brake rope. Both acted well and
dragged over the ice wall 100 feet high
without damage.
Landed Like Bird.
After crossing the glacier we
opened the valve and landed on the up
per glacier half a mile in shore. The
landing was erected SO successfully
that material weighing nine tons de-
scended 300 feet and touched the ice
with no shock or damage whatever ex
cepting several bent tubs and broken
wires. Numerous delicate instruments
were not injured. The self-registering
biographs. metographs and manome-
ters continued running after the land
ing. The mantle of the balloon can
easily be repaired.
The America was in the air three
hours and covered about fifteen miles
with her own power. She made three
loops against the wind, proving her
p, wer and capability of being steered.
The ascent was successful in every re-
spect.
I'VE are all convinced that We can
make our way to the pole in normal
summer weather."
