Prepare for SIedge Trip.

On September Is the rull work of trans
ferring supplies to Cape Columbia was
inaugurated. Marvin with DR.. Good
sail and Borup and the Eskimos. took 16
sedge loads of supplies to Cape Belknap
and on the 9th the same party started
with loads to Porter bay.
The work of hunting and transporting
supplies was prosecuted continuously by
the members of the party and the Eski-
mos until November s. when the sup
plies for the spring sledge trip had been
removed from winter quarters and de-
posted at various places from Cape Co.
Ian to Cape Columbia.
The latter part of September the move
ment of the ice subjected the ship to a
pressure which listed 1t to port some
eight or ten degrees. and it did not re-
cover till the following spring.
On October l went on hunt with two
Eskimos across the field and Pass bay
and the peninsula, made the circuit of
Clemants Markham inlet, and returned
to the ship in seven days with Is musk
oxen, a bear and a deer.
Later in October 1 repeated the trip,
obtaining five musk oxen and hunting
parties secured some 40 deer,

Men All Tried and True.

Four OF them possess the technique Of
dogs. sledges, ice, and cold as their heri-
tage. Two of them, Hansen and Ootam,
were my companions to the farthest point
three years before. Two others, Eginwuk
and Slgloo, were in Clark's division,
which had such a narrow escape at that
time, and now were willing to go any,
where with my immediate party, and
willing to risk themselves again in any
supporting party.
The fifth was young man who had
never served before in any expedition,
but who was, If possible, even more
willing and eager than the others for
the princely gifts-a boat, a rifle, a shot
gun. ammunition, knives, etc., which l
had promised to each of them who
reached the pole with me: for he knew
that these riches would enable him to
wrest from a stubborn father the girl
whose image filled his hot Young heart

Make Forced Marches.

The next morning I put Marvin in the
lead to pioneer the trail, with instruc-
tons to make two forced marches to
bring up our average which had been
cut down by the last two short ones.
Marvin carried out his instructions i'm
plicitly. A considerable amount of young
ice assisted in this.
At the end of the tenth march, latitude
1923, Borup turned back in command of
the second supporting party, having trav-
eled a distance equivalent to Nansens
distance from this far to his farthest
north.

We were obliged in this march to make
detour around an open lead. In the
next march we encountered the heaviest

pronounced movements in the ice, both
visible and audible.
Some leads were crossed, In one OF
which Borup and his team took bath.

We camped in temperature of 80 de-

came upon Hansen and his party In

During the last few miles I walked
beside him or in advance. He was SOL
emn and anxious to go further. but the
program was for him to go back from
here in command of the fourth sup
porting party. and there were no sup
plies for an increase in the main party.

Makes Record Run.

The next day Bartlett let himself out,
evidently, for a record, and reeled off 20
miles. Here Marvin obtained another
satisfactory sight on latitude. which gave
the position as S63S Cor beyond the farth-
est north of Nansen and AbruzzD, and
showed that we had covered so minutes
of latitude in three marches
In these three marches we had passed
the Norwegian record of S614, by Nam
sen, and the Italian record of 1894, by
Cagni.
From this point Marvin turned back in
command of the third supporting party.
My last words to him were: BE care
full of the leads, my boy"
The party from this point comprised
nine men, seven sedges, and 60 dogs.
The conditions at this camp and the APP
parently unbroken eXpanse of fairly level
ice in every direction reminded me of
Cagni's description of his farthest north.

A REPUTATION
WORTH WHILE
CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REM
EDY A FAVORITE EVERY
WHERE.
Enormous Sale on It Largely Due
to Personal Recommendations
ofPeople Who Have Been
Cured BY 1t.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been on
the market for over one-third of a century
Starting from a small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until the demand for
it often requires shipments in carload lots.
1t is now on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores in the
United States. There is no question as to
its merits; in fact, the enormous sale on it
has been brought about to large extent by
the personal recommendations of people who
have been cured by it. When you use a
remedy for cough or cold and find it far
superior to any other that yon have ever
tried, it is natural that you should tell your
friends of your good fortune. 1t has become
the mothers favorite for coughs, colds and

depended upon, and that it contains no opium
or other harmful drugs. During these years
in which we have been making selling and
using this preparation we have never known
of single case of cold resulting in pneu-
monia when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was used, which leads US to believesthati it is
a certain preventive of that disease. The
fact that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success it enioys

FALLS OF NIAGARA
BLOCKED WITH ICE
Great Wall of Frozen Water
Extends From Goat Island
to Mainland

NIAGARA FALLS, \. Y, Feb A.
Only tiny rivulet. not deep NOR swift
enough to carry pulp log over the
bank, is flowing over the American
side of Niagara falls. A strong north
east wind, which has blown since Fri
day. has held back the water and al
lowed the ice to gain foothold. Two
employees OF the American reserva tion
walked from Prospect point nearly to
Bath island this morning.
A great wall of ice runs from the
head of Goat island 10 the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle. This
wall has even encroached on the Ca
madam channel, extending out some 200
feet beyond the Third Sister island
and greatly diminishing the flow over
the Horseshoe.
Only the very apex of the Canadian
falls is left. and that is robbed of half
of its flow. The gorge below is ehoked
and the rapids have lost their fury,
while the whirlpool is barely in mo-
ton.
This is only the third time that this
combination of wind and ice has thus
affected the falls since the white man
came here. The other occasions were
on March %, 1918, and March 2, 1903.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
In Harry and Edward Pauiton's Comedy,
"WhO's Your Friend"
By Walter Anthony

For half of an act l was sorry L

the American on the most explanatory,
comic opera variety of obvious dialogue
that ever numbered legitimate COM
edy plot and wearied an audience; but
at the drop of the first curtain on
who's Your Frfiend?p there appears a
rainbow of hope, and the subsequent
events prove it was not hung out by
false Weather Prophet McAdte. The
second and third acts of Harry Beres-
fords comedy are as bright as the
day after a two weeks storm
The company supporting the odd
comedian is not good. 1t might be
much better than it is and still lag
considerably behind the talents of the
star. We are, with Manager Cohn Of

quently farcical in its methods, but, in
his hands, always amusing. There are
laughs to a line in the second act, and
a scene or two which make the eye

old inventor, in the midst Of much

desirable things are the gifts Of his
