ON top of the accumulating drift, but
my companions were ont OF sight and
did not respond to q loud call. -! f.
After a little search q blowhole was
located. and in response to another call
came Eskimo shouts. Violent efforts
were made to free their bags, but the
snow settled on them tighter with each
tussle. .l
Twas surprised q few moments later
as / was digging their breathing place
open to feel them burrowing through
the snow. They had entered the bag
without undressing and half emerged
with shirt and pants on. but without
feet. .a.,. -
After little more digging their boots
were uncovered. and then, with pro-
tected feet, the bag was freed and
placed on the side OF the igloo. Into

coats. I rolled out to their side in my
bag.

The air came, in kissing spouts, like
jets Of steam from an engine. but soon
after noon Of the 10th the ice under
our heads Frightened. 1t became pos
sible to. breathe without being choked
with floating crystals. and as the ice
about the facial furs was broken lit
tie blue was detected in the west. i
The dogs were freed of snow entan-
clements and fed. and a shelter was
made in which to melt snow and make
tea. A. double ration was eaten, and
then the sleds began to move again.
Soon the sun burst through the sep
arating clouds and raised icy spires in
towers OF glitter: The wind then ceased
entirely, and q scene Of crystal glory
was laid over the storm swept fields.
With full stomachs, fair weather and
a much needed rest, we moved with in
spfrations anew Indeed, we felt re-
freshed as one does after a cold bath.
The pack had been much disturbed,
and considerable time and distance
were lost in seeking workable line Of
travel. Camping at midnight, we had
only made nine miles for a days eff

In the occasional clearing spells for

We had. however, not anticipated to
see so long a line Of coast. The land
as we saw 1t gave the impression Of
being two islands. but our observations

sang the notes Of astronomical de-

the chronic thirst. and then the process
Of disrobing began. one at time, for

Tea In an Hour.
The fur stuffed boots were pulled,
and the bearskin pants were stripped
Then half of the body was quickly
pushed into the bag. A brick Of penn
mican was next taken out and the
teeth were set to the grind Of this
bouelike substance. The appetite was
always large, but half pound OF cold
withered beef and tallow changes q
hungry mans thoughts effectually.
The tea. an hour in making. was now
ready, and we rose on elbows to take
it. Under the influence Of the warm
drink the fur coat with its mask of ice
was removed. Next the shirt, with its
ring of ice about the waist, comes Oh,
giving the last sense Of shivers. Push
ing farther into the bag. the hood was
pulled over the face. and we were lost
to the world Of ice.

night. but at noon on the following
day the wind eased. The bright sun
and rising temperature were too
tempting to remain quiescent and.
though the west was still darkened by
threatening clouds, the dogs were put

not gone many miles before the first

we waited the passing Of the icy blast.

money and that there is not likely to
be sufficient pressure for funds to
cause stringency Nevertheless it is
quite fair to assume that money dur
ing the autumn and winter will COM
mand more profitable rental rates than
can be secured from the incomes OF
standard investment securities at the
present price level. and there will be
a disposition to abstain from addition
al purchases even if material amount
of liquidation from this source should
not ensue The liquidation of our Eu-
ropean loans will also constitute a fac
tor Our wheat crop does not promise
an export surplus sufficient to supply
grain bills in anything like adequate
proportions: our cotton crop, as al
ready noted, is a disappointment and
will therefore be a restricted factor in
the foreign exchange situation; and
with France and Germany are calcu-
lated to restrict our export trade with
those countries. Therefore the prob
abilities are that our foreign indebt-
edness must in large measure be event
ually paid by gold except so far as
foreign interests may be induced to
take the new securities that our rail-
roads will be compelled to issue dur

conservatism is becoming manifest all
along the line which is certainly sub
ject to none but favorable interpre-
tation.
Two factors that fall quite natural
" in line with this broad spirit of con-
money situation. The cotton yield is
proving distinctly disappointing and t
is necessary in the instance of the grain
crops to distinctly modify predictions
made earlier in the season that record
marking yields We're to be gathered
from the grain fields of the west In
stead of a three billion bushel corn
crop the governments figures promul-
gated today now suggest a yield of
2.649. 100000 bushels, or slightly below
the harvest of 1908, and below the Off
cial crop returns of three other years
in the last decade. The governments
wheat figures suggest a yield of ia

low the yields of 1906 and 1901 The
wealth produced by the agricultural
sections will therefore be well above
the average; but they will not furnish
incentive for ill-considered and spec
tacular prosperity talk.
The money situation is also begin
ming to demand attention in any long
range view Of market prospects. The
bank statement of last Saturday fore

HARRIMAN,S PASSING CLEARED

No Liquidation of Holdings Is to Be

| NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-SpeciaD
| The general financial atmosphere has
been greatly clarified by the death of

and distrust in stock exchange circles,
his precarious condition was fully APP

time to prepare safeguards against I'M

ton in the stock market When a
market leader dies there is usually
popular disposition to look for liquida

ence has again and again proven this
view to be erroneous. Men of large af-
fairs like Mr.. Hartman may always
be depended upon to leave their estates,
in excellent shape and under compe-
tent direction
On the other hand the passing Of
Mr.. HARTMAN as g factor in the finan

eminently desirable that this doubtless

full but his success was by no means
greater than the risks he from time to

DEATH CLARIFIES
THE ATMOSPHERE

iiieist d NUMBER OF exceedingly amDl-
tious plans for the extension of his
railroad influence These will probably
not now be consummated on anything
like the same basis he had in mind.
Among these plans may be mentioned
his proposed acquisition of the Van
trail, by which the Hartman system
was to be converted into a transconti-
mental one. The death of this force
full leader may also have some bear
ing on the Union Pacific influence in
connection with the Erie and The re-
suit in both these instances is likely
to check the contamination of the
change in control that appeared to be
SO quietly though gradually develop
ing. In broad sense these condi-
tons must be considered encouraging
fer the future of American securities
and especially for the estimation in
which they are to be held abroad 1.
is highly desirable that American rail
road shares shall represent properties
and not men. that such properties shall
be managed not from the Wall street
standpoint nor from the necessities of
personal speculations. They should be
managed for the shareholders as
whole and for the development of the
country they traverse and serve. The
elimination of the personal speculative
clement may therefore be considered
favorable step. increasing as it prom
ises to do the supply Of sound invest
ments for the future. The demise OF
Mr.. Hartman means a railroad map
differing very widely from what would
have been printed had he lived a few
years longer.
1t is not unlikely that TIE period of
dullnesS which accompanied Mr.. Har-
riman's illness will. after the first burst
of excitement. becomes possible of the
