of whale meat ordered in advance. l shall have trenches two and
one-half feet deep cut into the ice to serve as a refrigerator for the
whale flesh. By covering the flesh in the trenches with sea water,
which quickly freezes, we will protect the meat from any impurities
in the air, and can preserve it for any number Of years. AS a further
protection against wild animals, dogs and guns we will pile logs and
casks above the trenches.
upon which they may rest high and dry while dreaming their dog
proach our settlement as targets for the marksmen of our party. But
the most important use Of the logs will be in the making of our polar
garden. We must have fresh vegetables up there, both because they
taste good and because they are a preventive of scurvy. Four years
on an ice island without vegetables would be too much of a hardship.
Not that e are Vegetarians by any means. Bear meat and blubber
taste fine for nine months in the year, bur in the summer time salad
and cucumbers are as desirable up north as down here. Why should
not vegetables be raised at the pole, when there is six months Of
sunshine? Our logs will be the foundation for our garden. We
will lay them close together and cover them with a layer of specially
mixed earths and fertiizing material brought. for this purpose. We
will plant the vegetables in grooves chiseled in the logs or in the
natural holows formed by placing the logs side by side. BY means
of long tubes placed in the grooves or hollows VIZ can warm the soil
with a supply Of arthcially heated air, while screens, window glass
and blankets will enable us to protect the vegetables against chilling
winds that may arise. The methods is quite feasible; 1t is the appli-
cation of dollhouse gardening to Arctic conditions. I expect to raise
cress. mustard. lettuce. onions. rhubarb and other anttscorbutc
species of flowers and grasses hourishing without artificial aid. Our
seeds. Of course, must be carefully preserved and enough taken to
last four years, since our Arctic vegetables may not be able to reach
the seed age. Likewise we must carefully gather up and save our
garden soil at the end Of each summer. AS for fertilizers. we will
obtain some from the surplus Of marine life dredged from the bot
tom OF the ocean.

years colony on the ice. We will make directly for the edge of the
pack ice to the northwest of Point Barrow, Alaska, and will tie up
alongside the most promising ice foe. This will be in about latitude
70 north and longitude 15 west, or about 100 miles east Of the
point of besetment of the Jeanette, or so degrees east of the point
where Nansen picked up the drift of De Long. This will give us a
course northward right through the heart of more than 2,OOO,O 600
square miles Of unexplored territory, stretching for 1000 miles
across the North Pole to the opposite edge of the pack ice between
Greenland and SpitzbeTgen.
Our ship and conveys will soon be joined by one or more Of the
vessels composing the Pacific whaling fleet. These will bring to US
great slabs Of whale flesh and blubber, adding many tons to our sup
ply Of dog food. The whalers have no use for anything but the bone
Of the monsters they pursue. but to u the whale flesh will be Of the
utmost service. l shall arrange with the owners of the Pacific feet
TO have the ships wintering on the coast of Alaska gather for us a
cargo or two Of whale meat. We shall find the whalers in the mid
die of August in the very region where we are going; they are hunt
ing the great mammal to the edge of the ice pack.
THE ice foe, which is our first goal, is so extensive that were il
split into a dozen equal parts one would be al large as Central park.
and being surrounded by other masses of ice of great size, 1t forms
with its neighbors one continuous pack. The foes can never sepa-
rate far from one another, but move forward as a group of natural
barges floating across the great Arctic basin, parallel with the OBJ
served drift of the Jeanette and the Fran, to the opposite side Of
the Arctic sea. It Is a four-year trip and we are absolutely assured
Of the course over which Nature will transport us free Of charge.
The ocean currents re slow, but certain.
"n distributing supplies on our ice island we will initiate our
half dozen hardy Siberian ponies in sedging. Our stores OF lumber,
portable houses, stables and studios will be established on a firm
foundation OF fee twelve feet thick. Our vessel will soon be frozen
in near the island colony, but there is no tear that it will be crushed.

casks with excelsior and waste paper.
Il do not expect to plant my colony more than ten or twelve
miles from the edge of the ice pack. 1t makes no difference; the
current will drive us on. By the first Of September young ice OF
considerable thickness will be forming on the open water to the
south, but we are sure to come back and proceed upon our north
ward journey. When winter has frozen the water along the coastS
OF all lands bordering on the Arctic ocean we may compare the ice
pack to a great lid resting on the north polar basin, but consisting
of many large sections, some of which, driven noTthward by the pre-
valng winds in the Boring Strait region, are finally caught by the
strong ocean current which sweeps the east coast of Greenland and
enters the north Atlantic. The middle sections of the great ice lid,
being uninterrupted by shore lines, moves more rapidly than all
other parts. 1t also makes more progress in winter than summer,
because during the latter season the foes are less tightly packed.
thereby allowing the carrying winds to shift them somewhat from a
conform in a remarkable manner to the contour Of the nearest
coasts upon which the ice pack impnges. which is additional evil
dence that the noSs can never drift widely apart.
IAN illustration Of this fact was given In the Jeanette expedi-
tion. when a small storehouse which was erected on a Zoe was blown
out of sight, but after two years was found close at hand. Further
more, the wreckage from the Jeanette was driven upon the ice noss
to the southeast coast of Greenland. Had the members of this ex-
petition been equipped according to my plan they could have safely

his property, between Thirteenth ard Fourteenth streets and
CASTELAR,, he constructed a large brick building. He knew not what
it was to be used for, but the idea of a large brick building pleased
him, and he would put 1t up, despite protests of his friends.
A friend one day met him at the site OF the building when the
masons were laying the foundation. The walls of the foundation

boom agent replied: 20, I'll want this building large, for some day
I'm going to chase the devil around these walls, and I'll want to
give him a run for his money"
Another brick building was erected at 1926 South Thirteenth
street. 1t still stands there, and now is the home of the Humane
Horse Collar Manufacturing company. This building was, for many
years after its construction, left vacant, and never. until very
recently, brought in much rental. A few other buildings were put
up by Hascal along Thirteenth, but they since have been torn down.
None of them was used for any special purpose during the builders
boom days.
One of the queerest things done by Hascall, when he was making
for a greater Omaha, was his construction of a stone fence running
The remains of this stone wall still stand On CASTELAR, and Thirteenth

in buildings that brought him no return on the investment. The
buildings were not rented, and the business center of Omaha con-
tnued to remain several blocks north of Hascalls district.
Other sections of Omaha cal tell similar tales of defeated am
bition. Perhaps none other can show the monumental outlines in

not frequently been realized. Isaac Hascal buided better than he
knew in some ways, and laid the foundation for a substantial

urban expansion proceeds, and at the time the eccentric but enter

swamps along the Neva, and similar instances may be multiplied.
Baron Haussmann drew straight lines across the plat of Paris, and
they became boulevards, and London and Berlin have been reformed
in the same way. So why might not the development of Omaha be
controlled by a master mind and its life be diverted into a channel
chosen by George Francis Train, rs we'll as to allow it to wander
aimlessly over the landscape, as it eventually did? One of the
vagaries Of city growth is that Omaha would not follow along the
thought of Trains plan, and Credit Foncer is still a dream unreal

through by Vinton. The street was not laid out with the original
plot Of Omaha, but was put through in later years, after lots in the
Vinton tract of land had been sold. Men bought lots in various
parts of the tract, and the street was allowed to curve so as to pass
by these lots as they we're purchased. Some lots we're sold at Fiji

hundred Yards south and west Of the lots at Fifteenth, were then
sold, and the street had to be made crooked in order to go by these.
