Hammerfest. Norway, Aug. 10
A dispafch from Walter Wellman's
Arctic expedition camp at Spizbergen
dated August IA, says:
"a north gale which had been
blowing since August 5. dropped on
the leth, and Mr. Wellman made
ready TO start in search of the North
Pole. The balloon was inflated and
provisloned ard the motors were
working smoothly. On the 18th the
wind was still variable but Mr.. Well
man decided to get the airship out OF
the house.
1.-The tourist ship Thalia arrived
about the time and her passengers
spent the night ashore, watching the
preparations for the flight and hop
ing TO see the start. The officers and
crew OF the Thalia assisted in swing
ing the airship. which was of fine ap-
pearance, out of the shed. The wind
however. again freshened and at
O'Clock in the morning Mr.. Wellman
ordered the airship back into the

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Omitted Press) Aug.
l9.-P. " DeGraw. who Is the
fourth assistant postmaster general
Of the United States, Is an enthu-
siast on horses. He Is. I'm addition,
a veritable crank on the subject OF
good roads. That is one explanation
OF the wonderful work which the
postofice department has been doing
Ia furthering the campaign for Inn
proyement OF the public highways.
At first blush the connection be-
tween the mail service and good
roads for the farmers doesn't appear.
But when Il Is considered that there
are thousands OF miles Of rural
routes 20 be Travelled by carriers OF
the department. then the associa-
ton Is complete. The rural free de-
livery system is the greatest agent
for good roads that has been dis
covered.
For instance, the department de-
mands that the roads over which the
rural carriers travel must be In rea-
sonably good condition. Poor roads
delay the carrier. delay the mail. and
hinder the service Therefore,
whenever report Is made to the de-
partment that roads on which a rural
route Is established are In bad con-
dtion, impeding the progress OF the
carrier. the road officials, postmaster.
aud pa,rons are Immediately notified
, that unless steps are taken to Inn
prove this condition. the service will
be Withdrawn. The threat Is usually
effective. and good roads are the
rule.
In furtherance OF the department.
policy for good roads-really, II
ought to be called DeGraw's own
little policy--the fourth assistant
postmaster general has ben cooper
ating with road officials. state. fed
eral. and local. and with good roads
associations. The result has been
most gratifying. Il Is an established
fact that there has been more money
appropriated and spent on good
roads during the thirteen years
which rural delivery has been IN
Operation than In any other period OF
the country's history.

Cairo, Aug. 19.-There is to be a

Smith OF the Commercial club and
Vice-President Antrim of the board
of trade. These two gentlemen, with
Mayor Parsons. will make report of
their conference with the st. Louis
gentlemen who have charge Of the

of value in determining the action of

viii be named as the Taft executive
committee. The Globe-Democrat yes
terday had the following regarding
the Cairoites' visit the day before;
cairo also sent a delegation to

Commercial club. With c. r. Stuart,
J. S. Aisthorpe and p. c. Barclay,
they will have the arrangements in
hand and the program submitted yes
terday was approved unreservedly.
THE Cairo demonstration will be
calculated to impress the president
with the Importance or the deep
waterway project. He will make his
address there from stand on a
wharfboat from which he will be
able to see both the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers. A great fleet of pas
senger and freight boats will be

visit The towboat Sprague, towing
as many barges as she can pull, will
be in the group as an object lesson

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 1S.-At the
American Prison association congress
today Judge Ben Lindsey. OF the
Denver Juvenile court. predicted that
the time will come soon when the
state will deal with the criminal as
II does now with the insane.
"But this treatment OF the Grim
inal," said Judge Lindsey, "will be as
unlike the extreme methods in vogue
of stripes, iron cells and other re-
minders of degradetipns as II is In
the treatment of the insane, who
within a century were as completely
brutallzed and degraded as conviets
are now"
The debate in the congress on the
Indiana plan" for preventing the
propagation of criminals and idiots
developed almost unanimous senti
ment for the plan. The discussion
according to President Gnmour, OF
Toronto. was the most profitable tn,
association has held in years.
