Predictions are now being made as |"
tb, nroi,ablc date on which the ice WI!
leave the river. and various estimates
have been made by local weather
nronbets covering period from March
o. to April t. In 1908 the ice went OUT
very quietly. gradually melting away
and having no high water to help 1t
along With the exception OF SOME Ice
in the covers at Merrymeeting DAY and
at some other points along the Ken
paho,. the river was free of Ice from
Augusta to the sea on March 80 ana
on March 30 the ice from NaterVlile
and other points up river came over
th, Kennebec dam. The date of the
breaking up of the ice in the river in
1907 was April Is. At the present time
il &c difficult to set a date. The sun Is
running high and is gradually comb
ing" tive ice on top. but the nights are
cold. and the ice men say that the Ice
is holding its own. The water Is not
high in the river and there is a feeling
on the part Of many that unless there
SHOULD be heavy rains and mild wealth
err during the remaining two weeks of
The. month the departure OF ice from
the kcnnebec is likely to he carried
over i..to April.

wide attention Some enthusiastic
citizens have been writing to Wash
ington emphasizing their approval Of
the Maine Senator's innovation.
There is some interest in Washing
ton as to how closely Vice President
Sherman will stick to the Senate
gavel. II he follows the example of
many previous vice presidents,
Senator Frye will be called upon to
preside a great deal. as he continues
the President pro tempore. But If Mr..
Sherman is as punctilious about at
tending the sessions of the Senate rs
Vice President Fairbanks was. there
will continue to be little for the
President pro tempOre to do.
another Maine man will take his
seat in the House of Representatives
next week in the person of Ralph III
Cameron. of Flagstaff, to be Delegate
from Arizona. He came originally
from Southport, Maine. He is a Re-
publican and the first man of that
party to represent Arizona as dele
gate in Congress for number OF
years as the territory is normally
Democratic. He is very popular
man down there and defeated q

LETTER FROM MOGG.
Whaling Crew Lost Fifteen Months
Has Been Heard From.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. ia special to the
observation-disclosures from Port Townsend
says:
Private advices received here today give
news from the Arctic ocean that Captain
the whaling schooner Olga, long thought
to have been lost in a gale at sea fifteen
months ago. are alive and spending the
Arctic winter at Point Barrow. The news
comes in a letter from Captain Mogg
written November /, 1905, and dispatched
by Eskimo messenger to Teller City, 500
miles over an almost impossible trail,
thence by dog team routes through Nome
and St Michael to Valdez and by steamer
The Mogg expedition left this port in
June, 1907, equipped as a whaling venture
IN waters of the Arctic almost unknown
and equally unexplored. 1t has the back
ing of the Geographical Society of Lon
district, a region that has not been visited
by white people since the visit of Explorer
tination of the expedition was Point Cape
Prince Albert, northeast of Point Darrow.
No news has been reveIved of Captain
Mogg since September, 1907, when the cut
ter Thetis went north to investigate
charge made against him of abducting an
BY reason of several storms, impossible
Ice fields and series of misfortunes that
constitute a doleful story of hardship,
none of the primary Objects of the voyage
had been accomplished. After unsuccess-
fully combating the ice on the Banksland
shore during 1907 and 1908, ending in bring
ing the schooner fast in the icebergS $50
miles from Point Barrow, a refuge was
fit for renewed attempts at progress north
ward the next summer.
a long stay on the bleak shores of the
uninhabfted Arctic island furnishes a
thrilling account of Arctic adventure.
Plans for the winter which was to con-
tinue from September to the following July
consisted of finding a snug cove for the
schooner's anchorage, facilities for send
ing off as great a quantity of ice pos
sible and providing additional shelter to
fight the awful cold that was to ensue.
early days of September when Captain
Cottle of the steamer Beavedere who
spoke the Olga and a transfer of stores
occurred. The interchange of greetings
was the last to be offered the Mogg party
for more than year.
In a career of p years in whaling and
sailing the Arctic, Captain Mogg writes
that he has never seen such quantities of
ice as assembled many miles from shore
season. Every mile of progress that his
little command was able to make was at
tended by danger of being crushed be-
tween gigantic bergs or massive ice
fields. The season whereby the vessel
could hope to navigate commenced July 20.
7th off Flaxman island nearly
400 miles from Point Barrow, the vessel
became hopelessly wedged in the ice and
with young ice steadily forming the sea-
sons work was abandoned. The crew
walked to Point Barrow, the trip being
assures. Captain Mogg writes that he has
hope that she will not be damaged in the
spring opening and that ne can again
start out on his voyage further north and
to lands that promise a wealth of interest
ing information.
