seat, has become one Of the most pop

parts of the northwest flock, some for

While 1t has always been a noted re-
sort, it has been in the past eight
years that the greatest development
has been made So greatly has 1t
advanced along these lines that at
the present time the town pays great
attention to catering to the summer

ter night we were ready for the en-
terprise, and plans had matured to
force a new route over Grinnel Land
northward along its west coast out
to the Polar Sea.
The campaign opened with a few
scouting parties being sent over the
American shores to explore the way
and seek the game haunts. Their
mission was partly successful be-
cause of the storm. At sunrise of
1908 (Feb. 49,, the main expedition
embarked on its voyage to the pole.
1t consisted Of eleven men and 103
dogs drawing eleven heavily laden |
sledges. The expedition left the
Greenland shore and pushed forward !
over the troubled ice Of Smith Sound. |
The gloom of the long night was re-
lieved only by a few hours of day
light. The chill of the winter was
felt at its worst. AS we crossed the
heights Of Ellesmere Sound to the
Pacific slope, the temperature sank
to minus SO centrigrade. Several |
dogs were frozen and the men suff-
cred severely. but we soon found the
game trails, along which the way |
was easy.

Sound to Lands end. In this march |
we secured 101 musk oxen, seven |
bears and 335 hares. We pushed in
to the Polar Sea from the southern
point of Herbert Island on March Is.
Six Eskimos returned from here.
With four men and forty.six dogs,
supplies for eighty days, the

was begun. Three days later two

we made encouraging progress. A

crossed with little delay. The low
temperature was persistent and the
winds made life a torture. But,

although crazy with JOY, our
spirits began to undergo a feeling of
WEAKNESS. Next day, after taking
our observations, a sentiment of in
tense solitude penetrated US while
we looked at the horizon. Was it
possible that this desolate region,
without a patch of earth, had arous.
ed the ambition of so many men for
so many centuries? There was no
ground, only an immensely of daz-
cling snow; no living being, no point
to break the frightful monotony.

cooped up in our snow houses, eating
dried beef tallow and drinking hot
tea, there were some animal COM
forts occasionally to be gained.
New LAND FOUND.
For several days after the sight
of known land was lost, the overcast
sky prevented an accurate determin-
alton of our position. On March 30
the horizon was partly cleared and
new land was discovered. Our OBJ.
seryations gave our position as lati-
tude S4.47, longitude 1896.
There was urgent need of rapid
advance. Our main mission did not
permit detour for the purpose of
exploring the coast. Here were seen
the last signs of solid earth; beyond
there was nothing stable to be seen.
I'VE advanced steadily over the
monotony of moving sea ice and now
found ourselves beyond the range Of
al life-neither footprints of bears
nor the blowholes of seals were de.
tectes Even the microscopic crea.
lures Of the deep were no longer Un-
der as.
DESERT or FROST
The maddeniog Influence Of the
shifting desert Of frost became al
most uncomfortable in the daily rou-
tine. The surface Of the peak offer
ed less and less trouble. and the
weather improved, out there still
remained the life sapping wind which
drove despair TO its lowest recess.
The extreme cold compelled physical
action.
Thus day after day our weary
legs spread over big distances. In
cidents and positions were recorded,
but adventure was promptly forgot
ten in the next days efforts. The
night of April Z was made notable
by the sinking of the sun at mid
night over the northern ice. Sun
burns and frostbites now were re-
corded on the same day, but the
double days glitter infused quite an

"Our observation on April 6 plac-
ed the camp in latitude 1926; longi-
tude, 94.2.
SLOW PROGRESS.
In spite of what seemed long
we advanced but little over
a hundred miles. Much of our work |
was lost in circuitous twists around
troublesome pressure lines and high, |
fields. A very old ice drift, |
too, was driving eastward with suf-
ficient force to give some anxiety. |
still equal to about fifty |
miles daily, we extended marches,
and the long hours for travelling with
which fortune favored US earlier
were no longer possible. We were
now about 200 miles from the pole, |
and sledge loads were reduced. One
log after another went into the
'tomachs of the hungry survivors,
until the teams we're considerably
diminished in number, but there
seemed to remain a sufficient balance
