toward Spitzbergen rather than to-

that he would have to leave the ship
and make trial with sledges.
He left the Tram, and with 2S dogs,
three Eskimos, and two skin canoes,
started out over the ice on March Is,
1895. In II days he had reached a
latitude of Sc degrees and IA minutes

Lockwood back in 1882.

undertaking that has attracted many
adventurous spirits since the middle
Of the nineteenth century, and for
hundreds of years before that intrepid
European explorers had been sacri-
ficing life and limb in an endeavor to
find a northwest or northeast passage
through the ice fields to the wealth
of the orient.
The best previous record to DR..
Cooks reported final triumph was that
of Capt Robert E. Peary, who on
April &c, 1906, reached lititude of 81
degrees 6 minutes north, or station
within 200 statute miles of the pole.
This was Peary's third attempt to
reach the much sought spot, and he
now is at Etah, on the west coast of
Greenland, preparing for his fourth
dash inko the northern ice fields.
Peary started on his sledge jour
ney over the ice field about three
weeks earlier in the season-February
%, 1906, to be exact Peary left land
at Point Moss. Peary had 81 Eskimos
and 100 dogs. He divided his party
into several divisions, his idea being
to keep in touch through these differ
ent divisions with a base of supplies.
Peary found the sledging for the first
so miles from land rough and progress

Six Days Travel Without Sun.
He had his first glimpse of the sun
six days after he had started. AS the
party got further from land, however
the sledging improved, but the leads,
or openings in the ice, became more
frequent. On the sixth day out at "a
degrees SO min north, Peary and
his party struck d lead that held them
up for nearly a week. They finally
got across, over a two-mfle stretch OF
young ice. Then they were held up
for six days more by terrific wind
and snow storm. When they were
ready to resume their march pole

ern side of the cracks moved much
more rapidly than that on the south
ern.
The dogs began to give out under
the strain, and as they dropped Peary
fed them to the surviving animals. He
pushed on until March 81, when he
looked at his worn out dogs and al
most empty sledges and decided to
turn back.

Until Peary's third attempt the duke
of the Abruzzi's expedition held the
record in the struggle to gain the
pole. On March %, 1900, the duke
and his party were at latitude of &c
degrees 33 minutes north. Unlike
Peary and DR.. Cook, the dukes party
made their attempt with sledges from
the north shore of Franz Josef land,
establishing the base of supplies there.
When they started out they figured
they would have to make 480 miles in
As days.
The duke of the Abruzzfs party
started north from Franz Josef land
February 25. They encountered vio-
lent winds and bitter cold. On March
% three men were sent back to estab-
lish communication with the base of
supplies. They never more were
seen. 1t was on May II that the duke s
party reached the latitude sc degrees
and 33 minutes. There two cylinders
containing a record of the expedition
were left. The party did not get back
to Teplitz bay until June %.

PcehIer Company Said to Have
Charged False Pretenses-Detec-
tives Trace Walters to Saska-
toon, Alberta, Canada.

Minneapolis, Mimi. G. Walters,
president of the Plymouth Elevator
Company, Sioux Falls, S. d., was ar
rested in Saskatoon, Alberta, Canada,
and brought to Minneapolis, by the
| two detectives who had traced him
| | 500 miles and is now in a cell at
Central station, on complaint of the
|H. Poehler Grain Company, chamber
| of commerce.
A warrant sworn out by the Poehler
firm, is now in the Canadian mails adj
dressed to City Detective Andrew
Grumpy and F. l.. Colwell, a special
agent of the grain company. These
two men were on Walters trail for
twelve days before locating him. The
warrant is understood to charge OBJ
tanning money under false pretense.
The Plymouth Elevator Company,
which was organized four years ago.
represented to have line of ten
wheat elevators through South Da-
kota. and grain and real estate valued
at about $4,000. 1t is alleged that
on this pretense Walter, as president
of the Company, negotiated loans
from the Minneapolis firm. Most of
the elevator company's business was
done on time payment basis and was
conducted with the aid of banks in
Chicago and Sioux Falls.
Prior to last July, when the Ply
mouth Elevator company failed, the
H. Poehler company alleges that it
loaned Walters $4,000. 1t is also
claimed that on representation of the
company's holdings $4,000 also was
advanced. The exact amount of
money involved in the alleged mis-
dealings is unknown and will not be
ascertained until certain banks in
South Dakota and other creditors are
communicated with.
Walters, in his cell, refused to make
any statement.
