on their road to London, TO take
part in conference of the leading
men of journalism in the British En-
pire. eleven newspaper proprietors and
editors OF New Zealand and Australia
passed through Honolulu yesterday.
Their mission is a great one, TO carry
"home" assurance that the Colonies
in the South Pacific are ready TO stand
by and with the Empire and the other
colonies throughout the world, and
that Australia and New Zealand are
no longer content with standing idly
by while the Mother Country is strain
ing every nerve TO protect her far
stretching dominions, but are now pre-
pared TO assume a share of the bur
den. These eleven are only few Of
the Colonial newspaper men now on
their way to the center of their EN-
pire. more of them having sailed by
the p. & o. liners. on their way they
will be Joined by the journalists of
India, just as the ones in Honolulu
yesterday will be Joined as they cross
Canada by the journalists of the Do
minion while in London they will
meet their fellow journalists from
South Africa, from the West Indies,
from the British colonies in South
America, from every corner of the
earth where British writers on British
soil deal with the problems of the
Empire.
With the party in Honolulu yester-
| day were the proprietors of some of
the most influential of Colonial news
papers, for whom great preparations
of welcome are under way in Canada.
At Victoria, Vancouver, Winnipeg and
| Montreal they will be feted, while the
| Governor General of the Dominion has
| cabled them an invitation to a din

| will be addressed by the leading
| statesmen and will be entertained by
King Edward. There will be a specia
| review of the great Channel ans
North Atlantic fleets in their honor
and a gathering of many thousand
soldiers at Aldershot. Their com
ing to London is regarded there as
second only in Importance to the En-
| pire to the gathering of Colonial Pre-
| miers, recently.
Affairs of the greatest Importance
are to be discussed by these member:
of the British press. The unity of tbs

SCENE AT THE NORTH POLE, PHOTOGRAPHED BY DIR. COOK

Nor had we balloons, automobiles,
motor sleds or other freak devices. We
did, however, have an abundance Of
the best hickory, suitable metal and
oil the raw material for the sled and
Its accessories, which were henceforth
to be linked with our destiny.
The sled was evolved as the result
Of careful study Of local environment
and of the anticipated ice surface
northward. We did not copy the Nc
Clintock sled, with Its wide runners,
which has been used by most explor-
ers for fifty years. Nor did we aban-
don the old fashioned iron shoes for
German silver strips.
What Polar Sled Should Be.
The conditions which a polar sled
must meet are too complex to outline
here. In broad sense 1t seemed that
the best qualities of the best wood
Yukon sled could be combined with
the local fitness of the Eskimo craft,
with tough hickory fiber and sealskin
lashings to make elastic joints. With
plenty Of nativ. ingenuity to foresee

Feat. That Never Happened.

A grotesque and foolish view Of the
west leads many who are not ac-
.quainted with that part Of the country
to perpetrate amusing blunders re.
garding the possibilities Of the typical
western weapons, the rifle and the six
shooter. To shoot an animals eye out
at hundred PAGES is a common feat
In wild west literature. Sometimes 1t
Is done with six shooter-in type, not
anywhere else. OF course, no man
can see the eye of an animal that far.
l have had a good rifeman tell me he
could cut off robins head at a hun.
dred steps. The truth is that he could
not see the head clearly that far. You
read that the desperate Slade could
with six shooter at fifty or sixty
steps hit man In any button of his
coat that he chose, but you may be
sure that neither Slade nor any one
else could do anything Of the kind.
Even trick and fancy shooting at its
best could ever cover feats ascribed as

NOT TOO LATE YET.

A special committee Of the La
Grande city council has been appoint
% to consider plans for a sewerage
system. A complete system is con
templated by the Union county capi-
tai.
There has been many expressions
Of regret here during the last few
weeks that the proposal TO put in at
least main sewer down Main street
ron the school house to the river,
was allowed to drop without further
Investigation as to the cost, etc,
It Is recognized that in year or
two q sewerage system will become
necessity from sanitary stand
point. The digging Of many large
eess-pools will be a menace to the
health Of the citizens and a special
hvitatlon to certain diseases becom'
Ing epidemic.
1t was also claimed that such main
ever could be constructed at low
3r cost while the steam digger was
nere. The digger Is still here and
II there was desire to have the
work done It probably could still be
lone this fall at the economical cost
This matter Is worthy of the atten
lion Of all who have the health OF
The community and the progress and
prosperity of the city at heart.

and provide for the strain of adaptabil.
ity and endurance. the possibilities Of
our sled factory were very good.
For dog harness the Eskimo pattern
was adopted, but canine economy Is
such that when rations are reduced to
workable limits the leather strips dis
appear as food. To overcome this dis
aster the shoulder straps were made
OF folds Of strong canvas, while the
traces were cut from cotton log line.
A boat Is an important adjunct to
every sledge expedition which hopes
to venture far from Its base Of oper-
alton. 1t Is a matter Of necessity even
when following the new coast line. as
Is shown by the mishap Of Mylius
Erickson. for II he had had boat he
would himself have returned to tell
the story OF the Danlsl expedition to
east Greenland.
Need for boat comes with the
changed conditions Of the advanaing

This combination was invented by

now soon be limited to a few open
spaces near prominent headlands.
The scene of the real hunt changed
from the sea to the land. We had us
yet no caribou meat. The little auks
gathered in nets during the summer
and cider duck bagged later disap-
peared fast when used as steady diet.
We must procure hare, ptarmigan and
reindeer, for we had not yet learned
to eat with relish the fishy, liver-like
substance which is characteristic of
all marine mammals.
Guns and ammunition were distrib-
uted, and when the winds were easy
enough to allow one to venture out
every man sought the neighhoring
hills. F'rancke also took his exercise
with a gun on his shoulder.
The combined results gave long
line of ptarmigan, two reindeer and
sixteen hares. AS snow covered the
upper slopes the game was forced
down near the sea. where we could
still hope to hunt in the feeble light Of
the early part of the night.
No Anxiety For Winter.
With larder fairly stocked and
good prospects for other tasty meats
we were spared the usual anxiety of
a winter without winter supplies, and
Francke was just the man to use this
game to good effect, for he had a
way of preparing our primitive pro-
hnN linnard
equal to Holland House spread.
In the middle of October foxskins
were prime, and then new steel traps
were distributed and set near the
many caches BY this time the Eski-
mos had all abandoned their sealskin
tents and were snugly settled in their
winter igloos. The ground was COW
cred with snow, and the sea was near
ly frozen over everywhere.
Everybody was busy preparing for
the coming cold and night. The tenn
perature was about 20 degrees below
zero. Severe storms were becoming
less frequent, and the air. though
colder. was less humid and less disa-
greeable. An ice fort was formed, and
the winter sledging was begun by
short excursions to bait the fox traps
and gather the foxes.
All these pursuits. with the work Of
building and repairing sleds, making
dog harness and shaping new winter
clothing, kept up lively interest
while the great crust which was to
bold down the unruly deep for 80
many months thickened and closed.
Last Glimpse Of the Dying Day.
During the last days Of brief sun
shine the weather cleared, and at
noon on Oct. 81 everybody sought the
freedom of the open for last glimpse
of the dying day. There was a charm
OF color and glitter. but no one SEEM
ed quite happy as the sun sank under
the southern ice, for 1t was not to rise
again for lis days.
The Eskimos took this as signal to
enter n trance OF sadness, In which
the bereavement OF each family and
the discomforts of the year are enact
ed In dramatic chants or dances.
But TO us the sunset Of 1907 was In
spiration for the final work In direct

KEPT BOYS. LUNGS INFLATED.

The first operation in the United
States upon a human being in which
the cavity of the thorax was opened
while the lungs were Inflated from 0
chamber containing air at greater
pressure than that of the atmosphere
was performed recently at the Ger
man hospital, Seventy-seventh street
and Park avenue, New York, by DR..
Willy Meyar. That institution has
been the first hospital to be equipped
with the new positive air pressure ap'
paratus. T.; The, operation upon a little
boy for empyema thus far is deemed
to have; been successful. The pa:
tents condition has been satisfactory
since the operation. 4
1t is believed that the use of this
apparatus will open up wide field in
surgery Of the thorax. Up to this
time many operations in the thoraS
have been difficult to perform and 9th
ers impossible. owing to the fact that
as soon as the cavity OF the thorax
was opened the atmospheric pressure
collapsed the lungs and breathing
stopped. i
The apparatus used, which is after
the models Of Professor Sauerbrnch
to degree, consists Of two chambers
with a door between the chambers
and a door from the smaller chamber
to the outer air. The chambers ARE
lined with rubber. To them run air
pipes and valves from 4 compressor
run by a motor. II

that the patient lies outside the main
chamber with his head within it. Rub

With clinched hands and teeth and

Her breathing was irregular and not

circled her head, even as in the old

the heads mconed with faded gold. This
halo was fluctuant. 1t came and went.
