1t is impossible to adequately con.
troll the complex human temperament
of unknown men in the polar wilder
ness, but the two Eskimo boys could
be trusted to follow to the limit of my

burdened only with absolute necessi-

Cutting Down Weight.
Because of the Importance of a light
and efficient equipment much care was
taken to eliminate every ounce of
weight. The sleds were made of hick-
ory, the lightest wood consistent with
great endurance, but every needless
fiber was gouged out. The iron shoes
were ground thin, and in every way the
weight Of nearly everything was re-
duced even after leaving headquar-
tiers.
The little train, therefore, which fol-
lowed me into the farther mystery
was composed Of two sleds, each
carrying 600 pounds, drawn by 10
dogs, under the lash Of an expert

the exhibits, to see him make North
Dakota his future home.'
Subsequent events prove that both
Sullivan and Kilrain have registered
at Aberdeen. We regret that very
much, as we wish they might have
come to Bismarck. But they are az
ter North Dakota land just the same.
We met people who were home for
these fairs, and they all boosted for
North Dakota, and helped to convince
the skeptical ones that we had the
actual products of North Dakota, and
they stated they were not better than
could he found on the farms in every
county, and that there was no tend
ency to exaggerate the products rails
ed in North Dakota. The fact that
we had so many North Dakota people
come to our exhibits at the different
fairs aided us materially in removing
the erroneous impression that the
winteres her were so rigorous and
that it is impossible to live in North
Dakota. That is one great objection
are becoming acquainted with actual
conditions and the persons who have
gone back to visit their former homes
have disillusionized a great many
of their friends of the wrong conce9-
tion of the North Dakota winters. If
I were engaged in selling seeds in this
state I would send man along with
each exhibit as I am sure they could
do a nice business as there are cor
slant inquiries made as to where
they could get seeds from which these
grains and grasses are grown. :~E;%
CAS- whole regard our Wisconsin
exhibit this year as being unusually
successful, and from statements made
and from tenor of talk, I don't see
but that North Dakota should receive
a great immigration this fall and
next spring as result from our ex.
hibits at these different fairs

state. Their showing of pottery
made from the clay of that state
gives one an idea of the undeveloped
resources of it. The very artistic
model fire place which is a. part OF
the demonstration, is attracting a
greet deal of attention..
AT Elkhorn the exhibit excited
special interest from til. fact that a
great many people from that Sec
ton have come to North Dakota and
are now doing we'll here. Many of
them are anxious to dispose of their
properties and come to this state.
''The fair at Beaver Dam was large
ly attended, and farm products dis
played to a grent extent. The North
Dakota exhibit attracted unusual at
tention because at this town it has
so many friends, probably more than
at any other fair, with possible excep-
ton of Springfield, Ill. There are a
great many prominent business men
and bankers who have real estate in
North Dakota, and they take par
ticular pleasure in calling attention
to the North Dakota exhibit. Gov
ernor and Mrs. Burke have numerous
friends at Beaver Dam, and they Ger.

Thus we managed to keep in game
trails and in excellent fighting trim to
the end of known lands. Camping in
the chill Of the frowning cliffs of the
northernmost coast (Svartevog), we
looked out over the heavy ice Of the
polar seas through eyes which had
been hardened to the worst of polar
environments.
There was at hand an abundance Of
supplies, with willing savage hands
and a superabundance Of brute force
in oyerfed pelts, but for a greater GER
tainty of action over the unknown re-
gions beyond I resolved to reduce the
force to the smallest numbers con-
sistent with the execution Of the prob
lem in hand.
Il We had Travelled nearly 400 miles In
tWenty-eight days. There remained a
line of $40 miles Of unknowable trou-
Bile to be overcome before our goal
could be reached. For this final task
we were provided with every concetv-
able device to ease this hard lot; but,
In addition to a rduced party, I now
definitely resolved to simplify the en-
tire equipment. At Svartevog a big
cache was made. In this cache fresh
meat, todnu, pemmican and much 9th
er food, together with all discarded
articles Of equipment, were left.
In the northward advance every
factor of the dog train had been care
fully watched and studied to provide
d perfect working force for the final
reach over the polar sea. Etukishuk
and Ahwelah, two young Eskimos,
each twenty years old, had been chosen
as best fitted to be my sole compan-
ions In the long run Of destiny. TWEEN

were sent to the American
shores to explore a route and
to advance supplies.
Clouds and storms made the moon

successful.

A DSITING VISITOR

Gov. F. NJ. Luce spent Thursday of
last week in Oroville. Gov. Luce is a
government bank examiner, and was
making his regular semi-annual visit.
Gov. Luce was the second lieutenant
governor elected after Washington was
admitted as state, and filled the Office
with great deal of credit. As a pre-
siding officer and parlimentarian the
governor has no superiors and few
equals in the state. There is no con-
fusion or tagging in the accomplishing
of business in any body of men over
which he presdes. Personally he is a
charming gentleman to meet. and it
was special pleasure to the writer,
who has known Gov. Lace many, many
years. to get in touch with him again.

locality where that kind of quartz is a
very common occurrence. In the past
several years Mr.. Tritt has found it
necessary to visit Loomis number of
times, and the people of that camp feel
that they were well acquainted with
the gentleman. TO them the news of
Mr.. Tritt's death will come as a shock.
and will create feeling of sincere and
keen regret. Mr.. Tritt was a quiet
and unassuming, yet pleasant and
genial gentleman to meet. He had
great confidence in the country and the
property in which he was represented,
and devoted much time and spent con-
of his own money to make it
a success. l. is unfortunate indeed
that he could not have lived to see the
enterprise develop into mine.
