READY
FOR TRIP TO.
POLE
By Associated Pres

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-Walter Well
man, who arrived today from Paris,
said he was we'll satisfied with his ar
rangements for the proposed airship
expedition to the north pole. He in
formed friends who met him at the
pier that he would start in July.
Il am informed" said Mr.. Wellman,
that Commander Peary thinks my
plan is not practicable. He thinks it
will not be possible to reach the pole
In a balloon by reason of the weather
conditions. In answer want to say he
has no idea at all about ballooning.
my balloon is constructed to meet all
the Arctic conditions and L have full
confidence in my ability to reach the
pole in it. When I set out from Spitz-
bergen in July L shall think of nothing
but success for my undertaking. My
balloon has a resisting power of 500
pounds to the square inch, and that
surely will be sufficient to turn all of
the icicles to which Peary refers.
THE surface is just as penetrable as
the ordinary sheet metal roof. 1 am
not in the least superstitious. If We're
1 would not be launching my balloon on
this expedition to the unknown where
Andre took his departure, never to re-
turn. He was not properly equipped
as to mechanism in his ship, and I
am convinced that he fell into the
Arctic sea.
Il shall carry with me 1000 pounds of
gasoline to supply gas for the bag and
5000 pounds of rations. 1 shall take
with me about twelve Eskimo dogs for
possible use. If I do not succeed in
finding the pole fully expect it to be
nothing more than the center of the
open sea-"

Shocks
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
PONTA DELGRADA, Island of St.
Michaels, Azores islands, April g.
Violent earthquake shocks prevailed on
this island throughout the night.
The worst disturbance occurred at
Villa Franco, where the panic stricken
people fled to the outskirts of the town.
The wealthier inhabitants are leaV-
ing Villa Franco, the ancient capital
of ST. Michaels, which was twice pre-
viously destroyed by volcanic erup-
tions, being practically swallowed up
by an eruption of mud in 1922.
Twenty-four hours before the shocks
were felt Professor Belar, the seismolo-
gist, director of the Laibach observa-
tory, announced that the general un-
rest of the earth had been growing
during the last three days and con-
nected the fact with the presence of
large sun spots. He said:
IF the disturbances of the equilib-
rum of the earth's surface are to result
in average compromise we must await
the earthquakes now due with some
anxiety"

The Vehicle Road Tax.

Money makes the mare co. ae-
cording to the homely adage, and it
may be added that Money makes the
roads good" Without money the pa
rochial officials charged with the duty
OF keeping the public highways IN good
order cannot accomplish the task as.
signed them. If the people who are IL
able for the taxes levied to provide q
fund for maintaining the roads in pas
sable condition fail to pay these taxes,
they and the rest OF the travelling pub
lie cannot be furnished with good
roads, and all must suffer the incon-
venience, annoyance and loss of time
arising from the lack OF such. high
ways.
At Wednesdays meeting of the po-
lice jury of this parish. the supervisor
of the first road district complained of
the difficulty encountered in collecting
the license tax on vehicles, the pro.
ceeds of which are devoted entirely To
the work of keeping the public roads
in repair. A large percentage of this
tax remains unpaid, notwithstanding
the diligent efforts of the supervisor
TO collect it, and as a consequence
road work in the district is seriously
7hampered.
The police jury lent sympathizing
ear to the plant of the supervisor and
appealed to vehicle owners in the first
district TO comply with the law by pay
ing the license tax TO which they are
subject. 1t is to be hoped this official
petition will be promptly needed, and
that it will not be found necessary to
resort to extreme measures 60 enforce
the collection OF tax that is among
the most equitable and beneficial of ali
the contributions our people are called
upon to make for public purposes.

The River Ferry Question Settled.

1t will appear from the official min
utes OF last Wednesdays session OF
the police jury OF this parish, as pub.
lished in another column, that the RI
yer ferry tangle, which has been in
allegiance for some months to the an
noyance of all concerned, is to be f.
naily adjusted by the lease of the ferry
franchise for the term expiring August
"a, 1909, to the Donaldsonville- Darrow
Ferry Co., Ltd, for the monetary con.
sideration of one dollar, payable on
the day of the signing of the contract,
and under such conditions and specif.
cations as may be recommended and
agreed upon by the joint ferry commit
tee of the police jury and town coun-
Gil.
The new ferry company is in course
of organization and will soon be ready
for business. The principal officers
and stockholders will be DR.. g. K.
Sims and Messrs. II. @. and Al. White
man, and it is understood that the tar
III Of tolls will be substantially the
same as that now in force.
While it is to be regretted that this
ferry has ceased TO be d source OF pc
euniary profit to the town and parish,
the maintenance of regular, reliable
and safe service is OF vastly more i'm
portance to the public than that the
franchise should bring much, little or
any money into the municipal or pa
rochial Golfers. The revenue derived
from the lease OF the ferry privilege
has never been large, and It may we'll
be foregone altogether ia order to pro.
mote and encourage the establishments
OF good ferry service on perma-
nent basis.
