And If he gets what he wants he must
go after 1t, and intelligently
Like Cook and Peary. if he is to succeed
he must prepare long way ahead, else
when 1t comes to the dash he will have
to turn back before he gets to the nine

Health Is the very first consideration
Other things being equal the man with
the best physique will win out. And
good physique is not built up by late
hours and dissipation.
And the next important preparation Is
education of head and hand and heart A
sharpened brain, deft hand and good
morals are all needed in your search for
the pole.
There is Ice in the way, young man. and
wide seas and bitter winds. You will
often lose your way. and you must some
times stop and take observations to know
where you are.
And there are others trying to md
your pole-hosts of theml
Prepare yourself thoroughly. Take
plenty Of time. Time lost in prepare

common-sense decision. of interest to
every automobile owner. has just been
rendered by Judge Schmuck OF the New
York city court. A woman who was run
down by an automobile owned by Col
August P. Paine sued the latter and SCI
cured a verdict against him from a
Jury. It was proved on the trial that Colo
mel Paine had told his chauffeur to take
the car to the garage and that the latter.
disobeying the instructions of his en-
ployer. and without the latter's consent.
took the car elsewhere, and in so doing
ran over the woman. Judge Schmucls.
In granting a new trial said: ''There can
be no question that at the time of the
injury OF the plaintiff the servant was
not actually engaged in his masters bus
mess. 1t remains, therefore. to be de-
terrnined whether his conduct was a de-
Walton or departure from his employ
ment. 1t Is evident that at the time OF
the accident the servant had temporarily
retired from his employment and was en-
gagged in his own affairs" This seems to
be sound common sense and ought to be
good law.

Tho Dash to the Pole.

Young man, you have read much lately
concerning 1.-The dash to the pole" or the
dashes to the pole.
There are some lessons in those heroic
journeys
The dashes for the pole were not made
until everything was ready. And prepa-
rations required long look ahead.
The ships that took Peary and Cook up
into the Arctic circle had to be specially
built In order to withstand the ice and
to provide food and provisions and appa-
ratus. The clothing must be the warm
est, the food of proper kind and the in
struments for observation adapted to
northern latitudes. Nothing was left to
chance.
And when It came to the dash itself the
right sort Of sledges and dogs and port
able shelters of silk must be provided.
Tho explorers had to photograph the
future. as 1t were, and provide for 1t.
And in the last stages of the terrible
hike everything except the absolutely
necessary must be left behind. 1t resolved
itself into test for the survival Of the
fittest, both men and dogs.
They stripped themselves as an ath-
lete strips himself for the final dash.
Well, every young man must find his
north pole!
What mean Is every young man has
something In View that he wants as badly

HOW PULITZER WORKS.
Army of Attendants May Be Called at
Any Hour.

The story of the life of Joseph Pulitzer,
the editor and proprietor of the New York
World. is the subject of William Brown
Meloney's article in the November Amer
lean Magazine How Mr.. Pulitzer writes
an editorial for the World is interestingly
described by Mr. Meloney as follows:
"Afioat or ashore Mr.. Pulitzer is sur
rounded by troop Of readers and sec
retaries and when the impulse to do a
thing comes upon him his power of en-
durance breaks the youngest and the
strongest of them. Take him at sea,
where most of his time has been spent
of late 1t Is an ordinary occurrence for
him to rout out his personal staff at or
8 o'clock in the morning to aid him in
the preparation of an article. To think
with him Is to act. Let 1t be some poit-
ical fight or principle to which he has
dedicated the World and though he may

be on the other side of the earth he
is able to visualize it and live with the
paper and those in charge of 1t through
every step of success or defeat. He does
not compose with facility; some of those
whole-page editorials In the World, bear
ing the signature Joseph Pulitzer which
became so familiar during the Roosevelt
administration and in the forming of the
last Bryan campaign, represented weeks
and weeks of unreienting labor. They
meant the driving to near distraction of
those upon whom he is compelled to de-
pend to put his thoughts on paper; they
meant a crying of facts, facts and
more facts which 1t was believed would
never cease; they meant the working over
Of draft after draft of the editorial in
preparation: they meant countless finished
articles thrown away and a beginning all
over again until the ear of the blind man
was satisfied"

The EskImos.

TIC ESkif1Oos
K T OW that the way has been blazed
M 1t will hereafter be a compare
lively easy matter to reach the
pole. And civilization, stopped for
time by the arctic circle, will march
northward.
But the Eskimo does not want our
civilization. He Is instinctively afrait
lest 1t may mean the extinction of his
race.
I'VE do not want your way Of living"
says the Eskimo to the explorer-mis-
sionary. 1T is perhaps good for you.
We are content as 1t Is. Make us ac-
cept your civilization and we will all
perish"
Whereat we wonder.
These primativs people are 80 hospi-
table and kind hearted and they have
such hard linesl We long to make their
harsh and forbiddina lives easier and,
as we think, happier
But the Eskimo sits beside his igloo,
hiatt ice hut with just two crude arti-
cles of furniture. the wide family
sleeping bench and the big oil lamp
of the coming Of the white man with
a great fear In his heart.
Well, tho little brown men, that
stood by Cook and Peary as they have
stood by all the arctic explorers in
their search for the summit of tho
world are entitled to a lions share of
tho honors that have been won. and
heir wishes ought to be respected by
the world.
They are right about it.
Our civilization would ruin them. as
it has ruined the aborigines Of Amer
lea. Living In the bleak barrens of
the northland, the Eskimo through
centuries of struggle has adopted the
only mode of living that max his ex-
istence possible.
And perhaps. after all. we have not
so very much to offer him. His reli-
gion may be a crude sort, but practi-
cal1y 1t Is the essence of Christianity.
There are no pauper Eskimos No one
is rich. and no one Is poor. All things
are In common. The wrecked mariner Is
welcome to what they have SO long as
he chooses to stay.
DO some people In your Land starve
and shiver while others eat and are
warmly olad?" asked shocked Eskimo
their great kindness. The explorer was
compelled to reply that some do
why, them" said the native. do you
call yourselves civilized?"
The explorer found it hard TO answer.
Can you?
why 40 you ask US TO accept your
civilization" continued the Eskimo.
THAT never happens here If one goes
hungry we are all hungry. If one eats
we all eat. Why should some starve?"
Do not pity the poor frozen people
too much. They like their country. 1t
Is to them the center Of the earth In
their way they are happy and content
Why disturb them?
The Eskimo only asks to be let alone
And alas for him. that Is the very thing
tho civilized world will not do.

And as he heard the cry of his mate.
long separated by waste of Icy waters
and deprivation and months of weary eff
fort, DR.. Frederick A. Cook wrung the
hands of the man nearest him and
hastily dropped down the ships ladder.
The woman In the gray coat and pic
ture hat, with the two little daughters
whom the explorer father had not seen
for two years. could scarcely wait
The passengers on the Oscar looked
down on the tender reunion and cheered.
And then the family group disappeared
into the tiny cabin of the tug, and there
the full greeting took place between the
husband who had gone to the top of the
world and the wife whose harder part it
was to wait.
Later DR.. Cook appeared on the upper
deck of the tug with his wife by his side,
holding in his arms the little girl who
was a baby when he left for the north.
Again the passengers of the Oscar APP
plauded, and the happy Mrs. Cook waved
an American flag.
That Is one picture of a homecoming.
And here Is another:
The background of this picture is the
harbor of Sydney, N. 8. Commander
Peary, In the uniform of United States
lieutenant, stood on tn upper deck of
the Roosevelt. AS he caught sight of
his wife and daughter on the forward
deck of the Sheeleh he DOTTED his white
cap in recognition.
Marie, the 16-year-old daughter, was
the first to. climb the black side of the
arctic ship and was caught up into the
arms of her father. He said not word
as he pressed her forehead to his lips.
IT haven't the slightest idea of what
I said to dad" Marie said afterward. II
was just in daze from beginning to
end"
From the daughter. Commander Peary
turned to his wife as she stepped on
deck. She quietly wept as she was in
folded in his arms. Said the wife:
you will not leave me so long again,
Will you, Bert?'
Aren't these two beautiful, homely,
heartful pictures? And are not these
welcomes of wives and babies the real
reward of tho two brave explorers?
And did not these welcomes pay for
all the hardships Of the arctic jour-
neysf
BESIDES these welcomes, the banquets
and the formal receptions and the rlaud-
its and the cheering are as nothing.
Now, indeed. were they coming home!
Days of controversy, of indignation,
Of MISUNDERSTANDING, Of disputed claims,
of heartburnings-these things unfortu-
nately are theirs, but
Nothing, nothing, can rob these he
roic Americans of the exquisite heart
throbs that have come to them when
their own, their own, welcomed them
back to Gods country again, for
The bravest are the tenderest;
The loving are the daring.

How Good Blood Pays.

On October rsth in Chicago a range
bred yearling Shorthorn grade steer
sold at cents per pound, and weiged
$50 pounds, returning a gross Of S74.6O.
The steer seld for beef and brought as
much or more than if it had been corn
fed. The price was the top. being 40
cents higher per hundred pounds than
any range steer ever brought. 1t was
raised on the range by J. w. Summer
vile of Saco. Mont. The steer was
calved in May, 1905. and never was
fed. He was out of good Shorthorn
bull from a range COW. 1t shows what
good grass and good blood will do.
There is a lessoni in this incident for the
cattleman who has been using cheap
grade bulls. OF course. this steer had
plenty of good grass to be in condition
for beef, but back of the grass was the
breeding that enabled the steer to make
the best use of the feed he got. In the
production of beef it largely depends
upon the bull The cheaper the bull
the cheaper the produce. This is the
reason why $500 bull is worth more
than $50 bull, because he will get the
kind of calves that will put on flesh
and mature early and bring the top
price when sent to market.

for more than a week, and whose
bodies were supposed to be charred by
fire or decomposed after death, more
than 100 may be recovered alive,
who had walled themselves up and lived
to be rescued after all hope was gone
that any in the mine could possibly
have escaped death.
The disaster, even with its unexpec-
ted outcome, was one of the worst in
the history of coal mining, which has
taken more men to their death than
any other class of mining.

]. w. Wright and family arrived
Wednesday from Parsons, Kansas, with
a carload of stock and household goods.
They have located on the farm known
as the Grove place on California Mesa,
recently purchased by Mr.. Wright, and
will make Delta their home.
Those who read while they run must
not conclude that Delta county. because
it ships more fruit to market than any
other county in the United States, pro-
duces nothing but fruit. Grains, pota-
toes, sugar beets, alfalfa, stock, mel
ons and vegetables are also big crops.
A force of men started the work of
plowing and fencing the fine ranch of
DR.. F. D. Kinsley, northwest of the
city, this week. This place will be
brought under a high state of cultiva-
tion as soon as possible, and will make
one of the best farms in Delta county.

The good weather seems to stay with
US, and the beet growers may well re-
joice that they are thus favored. for
rigid setting in of winter by the first
of November, as may be ordinarily ex-
pected, would have caught many beets
in the field, where it would have been
possible for them to remain frozen
until spring On top of the marvellous
crops this year nothing could have been
