IGNORE RUNAWAY SENATOR'S.
''State- Widcrs'' in Tennessee Legisla-
fure Proceed With Election.

NASHVILLE. Tenn. March 10
When the legislature met In eonven-
ton today the "State-Widers" sprung
a surprise on administration Demo
Gratis by proceeding with the election
of members of the state board OF cleo
lions and primary commissioners not.
withstanding the protest of the OPP
position that such a course was lille
gal because of the absence of n
quorum of the senate. The state
Widers" contend that the law pro-
vides for the election by the general
assembly and hence quorum OF the
convention was all that was neces-
sary. Some of the administration
men made an attempt to bolt, but
found the doors locked. They sub
mitted, with few protests, and the
election proceeded.

FEBRUARY SNOWFALL.

The snowfall during February.
while not in excess OF the average,
was sufficient to substantially in
crease the already large depths de-
posted during January, says the
weather bureau summary for Nevada
The accumulated amounts now on
the ground are above the average at
nearly all points. and are unusually
great at very high attitudes in the
Sierras. High winds which occurred
on several dates in February have
drifted much snow into the ravines.
and, owing to the prevalence of rain
at high attitudes, the snow is moist
and very solidly packed. On the west
side of Lake Tahoe. and at kindred
elevations in the vicinity, the snow
on the level averages from five to
eight feet in depth. AT Talon,
about eight miles west of Tahoe city,
the average depth of snow was | 4
feet on February -. The outlook
is favorable for an abundant flow OF
water in tributaries to nearly all the
important streams. In the Truckee
watershed indications point to a wa
| ter flow twice as great as that of last
year. Similar conditions obtain
though in lesser degree, through
out the watersheds of the Humboldt
Carson and Walker river drainage
areas The region tributary to the
Reese river constitutes the exception
to the foregoing. however, as the
snowfall throughout that section has
not bee sufficient TO replace what was
melted by high winds in January. and
the water flow. in consequence, is not
expected to exceed that of the preeed
| ing year.

Ball Was Great
Success Last
Night

The ladies of the Altar society Of
the Catholic church gave a dance last
night which will be remembered as
one of the most pleasant affairs OF
its kind ever held in the district.
Notwithstanding the inclemeney OF
the weather, the dance was excep-
tionaly well attended, showing that
the dancing public knew that a ball
of unusual merit was to be given.
The music was furnished by the best
talent to be secured and the floor
was in such condition that 1t was
impossible to have other than the
best of dancing
The ladies of the church also served
a supper at st. Lawrence hall which
has never been surpassed in Ely.
There was a dozen different kinds OF
salad. cold meats of every descrip-
ton and cakes such as one seldom
sees outside of the larger cities.
Among the latter was a large piece
of pastry, decorated with genuine
shamrocks and bearing an Irish
phrase. which meant A thousand
welcomes"
The hall in which the supper was
served was beautifully decorated with
flags, flowers and emblems comment
oratiye of the occasion. One of the
most noticeable decorations was a
green flag. on which was painted the
Harp of Erin This was the work
of Father Sheehan and was much ad-
mired. From all viewpoints, the ball
and supper were unqualified sue

TIE Lnlre Of fbe NORTH Pole
BY ELIZABETH DUDDERIDGE.

and they searched for eleven years before they
found some records that he had left, and learned
from them and from the Esquimaus how he died
and what he had discovered.
Long before the discovery Of the northwest pas-
sage people had found out that # wasn't likely TO
be of much to them commercially but still
like the Norseman at King Alfred's court they
felt an inspiration and desire to learn and know
whether there was such passage, and it was
this inspiration and desire that Sir John
Franklin on his last fatal voyage After the dis
covery of the passage there many other
things which wanted TO know. Most of all
they wanted TO find the North Pole and for the
last half century nearly all polar expeditions have
been aimed at the top of the earth"
BY this time we had begun 10 get the better Of
the frost giants. and during the last few years
polar exploration has become quite luxurious. One
of the difficulties OF Arctic exploration used
TO be the scurvy caused by monOtonous diet and
lack Of vegetables. Now we have such a lot OF
canned and concentrated foods that we can go
almost far like from civilization and
still fare sumptuously every day. hansen tells us
in ''Farthest North" how he had coffee in his
berth and four course dinners in the very midst
OF the Polar Sea OF course. when he left his
ships and travelled with sedges he had 10 leave
these luxuries behind. but then he had many
advantages over the early explorers.
Another great danger of the old days was the ice
which crushed the ships like eggshelIs but now
We build vessels, which are pushed upward
to the surface Of the ice by its pressure in
stead Of being crushed by II. DR. hansen tells US
how very sorry he used TO feel for the old ex-
plorers, when from the cosey cabin of the Fran
he heard the thunder Of the shifting ice This
roar OF the frost giants meant death 10 them, but
he and his knew that the giants could not
hurt them.
With all these advantages and many others. we
were bound find the pole before long, and it
was largely a matter of chance who would get
| there first. Neither Dr. Cook Commander
| Peary could have reached the pole if many
others had tried and failed, and if science had
/ not done so much to help them The explorers of
to-day cleverer than those of the past, but
they have better tools and more knowledge.
