PRAISE SHACKELTON
FOR DARING VOYAGE
Expedition to Extreme Antarctic Re-
Region Considered Remarkable.
Journey on SIeds Discussed
by Physicist

LONDON, March 24.-Lieutenant
Shackelton's achievements and diseov-
cries have brought q chorus of praise
and admiration from other explorers,
geographers and scientists
Louis Charles Bernachi, who was
physicist to the Discovery Antartic ex-
pedition in 1901 -04, said in an interest
ing talk today that the sledge journey
of 1875 days under such conditions as
are described is one of the most mag
nificent 'feats in the annals of polar
exploration.
A man working in the Arctic requires
thirty-six ounces of food daily, but the
Shackelton party cut themselves down
to twenty ounces. What that means,
he declared, only those experienced can
understand. Two hundred and fifty
pounds dragged by every man was
fearful load.
Mr.. Bernachi is of opinion that the
geological and other results of the ex-
pedition corroborate the belief that the
Antarctic region was at some remote
period far warmer than it is now, and
also that the signs of less severe
glaciation show that the climate Is
growing warmer and the ice cap on the
Antarctic continent diminishing and
receding.

HARTMAN PLANS TO
BUILD SEATTLE ROAD
Railway Magnate Expected to Make
Connection with Strahern Road
from WaIIa WaIIa to
Yakima junction

SEATTLE, March 24.-Barred by the
ger traffic direct into Seattle via Port
land, e. H. Hartman is planning to
give an early and direct entry into
Seattle from Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha and other middle western cities
by means of a traffic arrangement with
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway.
The plan includes the construction
this summer of enough of the projected
north coast railway in central WASH
ington to enable Hartman traffic from
the west to be routed over the Strahorn
road from Walla Walia to a connection
between the north coast and the Mil
waukee near North Yakima.
Reports from central Washington,
where Hill and Hartman interests are
struggling for the mastery in tie CO.
lumbia river basin, prove that the new
Hartman plan is feasible, both from
traffic and operating point of view.
The reports are predicted on the
statement unofficially given out some
time ago and first printed March l, that
Hartman and Milwaukee interests
were financially backing the North
Coast.
1t is said the latter road will be
ready to operate trains across the CO.
lumbia river bridge from a point near
Kiona to Walla Walla, where Harri-
man will be we'll entrenched before
October /. Baked in his effort to force
the Northern Pacific to enter into a
traffic arrangement whereby passengers
routed to Puget Sound from Hartman
territory to Seattle could pass the Port
land barrier without buying tickets
there and rechecking baggage, Harri-
man has appealed to the interstate
commerce commission for rule forc-
ing the Fill line to grant his demands.
The case soon is to be heard in Chi

Southern Pacific Serves Notice in
OIL Fields That Houses Have
to Be on Opposite Side
of the Track
fBy Associated Press ]


BAKERSFIELD, March .24.-Cohster-
nation has been caused in the new town
of Moron, in the Midway oil fields
along the recently constructed Sunset
western branch of the Southern Pacific.
In less than months time a thriv-
ing oil town of 23 houses and stores
and innumerable tents sprung up on
the south side of the railroad tracks.
Today the railroad company served
the owners of the buildings with notice
that their structures must be moved
across the track, as he site upon
which the town now rests is to be used
for switching yard.
The citizens held an Indignation
meeting and appointed a committee to
confer with the railroad officials.
The feeling is intense and there is
talk of accepting the offer of an oil
company which has offered the use of
so acres further down the track for
the town site.
When the railroad was first built
into the Midway field, last September,
the railroad company was beseiged with
applications for lots in the new town.
The exact location was not given out
until last week, when number of the
oil we'll supply houses, which do big
business with the company, were
granted leases.
However, the store keepers, restaur-
ant and hotel men were given to un-
derstand that if they constructed their
buildings behind an imaginary line in
dicated by the agent, all would be
WE'LL
The tip was needed, but the operat-
ing department later changed its
plans. Every house in the town will
have to be moved a hundred yards or
more.

MAGNATE WILL BE TREATED

CONDITION OF RAILROAD KING
CAUSES WORRY
Physician Insists His Patient Is Not

Suffered Slight Touch
of Rheumatism
Especial to The Herald.]

~ ANITA BARBARA, March A-In
the hope that the baths at Paso
~ Robles will be of benefit In re-
storing him to health, e. H. Hartman,
railway magnate, whose illness has
caused worry in financial circles from
Wall street to San Francisco, left to-
day to take treatment at the not
springs.
Although DIR. Dixon, the physician
who is accompanying Mr.. Hartman OH
his western tour, stated that his pa
tient was not in the least SICK anu
that a. slight twinge of rheumatism
is the only reason for going to the not
baths. friends of the transportation
king realize that Mr.. Hartman Is ply
sically broken down.
Although Mr.. Hartman has ap-
peared in public several times since his
trip to Southern California, 1t Is ap-
parent that only an indomitable VIII
has enabled him to keep the ravages
of illness from confining him to his
bed.
Previous to leaving Santa Barbara
arrangements had been made for
three days stay at the Paso Robes
baths one days stopover in san
Francisco and then a journey direct
to New York, in which city he Is ex-

Hint of Retirement
Two weeks ago the Napoleon of Wall
street announced that his physicians
had advised him to retire from active
work. but he himself intimated he was
in good health.
That his optimism and good cheer
were not spontaneous but somewhat
forced is the opinion of those who
have seen him frequently and have re-
allied his condition:
From the stern business man, with
every moment devoted to his gigantic
enterprises, he has cast aside re-
straint, and his pleasantries and
lengthy interviews. before unknown,
have amazed his acquaintances.
At the informal reception given Mr..
HarrimarA in the rooms of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce Monday
night the magnetic made the admission
that he had promised his wife to do no
speechmaking owing to his poor health,
but keenly alive to what such a state
ment would mean promptly amended
1t by saying he had improved in health
every mile he came west and felt al
most as strong as ever.
