So Mr. Welman went way up north. far
away from Sweden, and after spending a long
time in the construction of his aerial pole
finder he set sail in his airship in a snowstorm
The snow was thick high up in that cold eli
mate and it got into the pilots eyes. Conse
quently the expedition was abandoned for the
time.
Next June, however, Mr.. Welman will again
set sail for the pole with the assurance that
his machine will perform at least part of the
journey satisfactorily. On ethereal subjects
Welman has become an expert. He has also
had real polar experience Mr.. Wellman not
long ago declared that his airship is. for his
own purpose Of finding the pole more efficient
than that Of Count Zeppelin, which sail
all day long without dropping to earth for
more gasoline.
Commodore Peary Is to-day scrutinizing arc
tic regions for signs Of the location of the pole.
He will go as far north is possible his
polar ship Theodore Roosevelt, and dogs and
sledges will take him the rest of the distance.
It will be several years, probably before the
real fruits of this expedition become known to
newspaper readers Of America.
Many lives have been lost in the quest for
the pole. That and the south pole. located
somewhere in the Antarctic are the only un-
discovered parts of this wide world, and the ma
ton which plants Its nag on either OF the
poles will be lucky. for then 1t will own the end
of the earth.

Give a cargo Of logs. another of casks
partly filled with emergency supplies and
single vessel, specifically constructed, and l
can go from Behring strait to the pole right
across the Arctic ocean. Scatter the logs, port
able houses and casks upon group Of heavy
ice foes surrounding the ship, shifting the sup
plies If necessary by windlasses, motors or
dogs and we'll succeed. A single crew can
handle the three cargoes. Had the Jeanette
expedition adopted this plan 1t would have
won. In support of my plan Rear Admiral Mel
Vile stated to me that small house erected
on the ice at the beginning Of the drift Of the
Jeanette having blown away before 1t had
been fastened down, was found two years later
less than two miles from the chip, thus proving
that the ship and ice proceed just as a balloon
moves with the atmosphere in which it floats.
With portable studios and laboratories our ar
lists and scientists may work with tranquility.
With balloons we will view 4 wide stretch OF
territory and as did the Baldwin-Zeigler expe-
dttion frequently, dispatch messengers home
ward With logs as fuel we'll barbecue the
walrus seal and polar bear With the casks
emptied we'll form fotilla filled with duplf

doesn't it? But the obstacles which any ex-

which would greet his eyes would make him
the envy of Rip Van Wrinkle.
Discovery of the nortn pole will doubtless be
made within the lifetmes OF many citizens of
to-day Anyhow that is what the scientists de-
clare. They say the mere discovery OF the
pole is simple. 1t is the conquering of the de-
tails which must be surmounted that require
the thought and efforts.
Most novel of all plans TO plant the American
flag for that matter any other country
flag on top of the pole, is that which some
time ago was proposed by Evelyn Briggs Bald
win, who is working out details of his
scheme.
This intrepid explorer aims to feat to the
pole and take plenty of time getting there. He
laid out the plan in detail before the Harvard
union at Cambridge, Mass, some time ago and
while some blase persons We're skeptical, 9th
ers said they liked the plan.
Here's the way Mr.. Baldwin would do it:
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1909-01-23

which is less than lois OF unfortunate eAploF-
ers have received for their efforts.
The north pole is a peculiar thing 1t SHIFTS
about from day to day and not over year ago
a Swedish scientist allowed TO escape his sys-
tenn the assertion that the pole moving
towards Siberia. OF course if the north pole
keeps on moving like that, how can it ex-
nect to be discovered? ask skeptical persons.
The reason the north pole is said to be play
ing hide and seek is said to be this;
The earth revoves on its axis from west to
east Hence centrifugal forces tend to pull
the regions of the equator outward, thus CIV
ing the tendency to flatten at the poles. This
fattening process is irregular and as conse-
quence the top and bottom" of the earth
tend to fit about from place to place
Try this scheme with rubber ball. SOFT
rubber is best; it shows the flattening better
than hard rubber. Push nail through the
ball, making 1t an axis, and ten tie strings to
each end of the nail. Hold the strings in your
right hand and twirl them over your head.
During the twirling you notice that the ball
becomes f1atter at each end and bulges slightly
on the sides. That's why the poles are shift
ing. The earth moves at a rate of 10 miles .
minute around its axis. Each day in revolv.
ing it has journey of $4,000 miles, its cir
cumference, to accomplish. 1t moves about 20
times as fast as the Chicago-New York 1S-houE
special Is it any wonder 1t is fattening?

The most novel and perhaps the
most insane project which was ever
sprung for finding the pole was that

way. He aimed to roll to the pole in

from Chicago but the indications
were that his death occurred half way

Sunday, was a busy day for Mr..
Waits the fireman pitcher of the n. N
About the time for the game to COM
mence, his train was burning up the
rails somewhere between Cobre and
this station. The crowd good natured-
ly awaited the arrival of the train,
and incidentally the pitcher, when
he arrived on the diamond at 2:3O,
with his eyes full of coal dust, he
was greeted by a cheer which would
have been greater had the crowd
realized what he brought with him.
The game was very nearly all waits
from beginning to end. He had
everything" in the box, and his per-
Torrance at the bat with a single,
a three Dagger and a homer to his
credit, is moi very often duplicated
in this neck of the woods. 1t matter
ed not to him that his team were
making misplays and piling up the
error score, he was pitching shutout
ball every minute and would have
goose egged his opponents nine times
straight had it not been for Shoots
muff of Benefits fly in the eighth.
Against his delivery the heavy bat
ters of the Ely team stood about as
much show as a celluloid dog
chasing an asbestos cat through
hades. With the exception of Con-
nor and Bennett, every man on the
Ely team famed twice, making a
total of fourteen. Against this they
have to their credit only four lonely
hits.
If the Railroaders were not strong
in the field, they certainly made Ut
for it at the bat; the way they
clouted Worthington is sad to relate.
Even the t~ailenders on the batting
list took advantage of the occasion,

and piled up fifteen clean ones, one
being a twobagger, n a three and
one a home run.
The Elyites played a clean game in
the field, although they were guilty
of some costly ''bonehead" work that
does not show up in the error column.
The game moved along with a
whole lot of vim and was good to
look at. Frank Welshone held the
indicator at the start, but Casey"
got peevish over n of his decisions
and Welshons walked off the field.
1t was then that Andy Fesler was
