Prepare for SIedge Trip.

On September Is the rull work of trans
ferring supplies to Cape Columbia was
inaugurated. Marvin with DIR. Good
sail and Borup and the EsSimos. took 16
sledge loads of supplies to Cape Bellknap
and on the 9th the same party started
with loads TO Porter bay.
The work OF hunting and transporting
supplies was prosecuted continuously by
the members of the party and the EslSi-
mos until November 5, when the sup
plies for the spring sledge trip had been
removed from winter quarters and de-
posted at various places from Cape Co.
Ian to Cape Columbia.
The latter part of September the move
ment of the ice subjected the ship to
pressure which listed 1t to port some
eight or ten degrees, and it did not re-
cover till the following spring.
On October l 1 went on hunt with two
Eskimos across the field and Pass bay
and the peninsula, made the circuit of
Clemants Markham inlet. and returned
to the ship in seven days with Is musk
oxen, bear and a deer.
Later in October 1 repeated the trip,
obtaining five musk oxen, and hunting
parties secured some 30 deer.

Make Forced Marches.

The next morning I put Marvin in the
lead to pioneer the trail, with instruc-
tions to make two forced marches to
bring up our average which had been
cut down by the last two short ones.
Marvin carried out his instructions i'm
plicitly. A considerable amount of young

Moves ExpeditiouSIy.

I had no reason to complain of the
going for the next two marches, though
for less experienced party, less adapt
able sledges, or less perfect equipment 1t
would have been an impossibility.
At our position at the end of the sec
ond march, Marvin obtained satisfac-
tory sight for latitude in clear weather,
which placed us at S5.4S. The result
agreed satisfactorily with the dead reck-
oning of Marvin Bartlett and myself.
Up to this time. the slight altitude Of
the sun had made 1t not worth while to
waste time in observations.
On the next two marches the going i'm
proved, and we covered good distances.
In one OF these marches o lead delayed
US few hours. We finally ferried across
the ice cakes.

Makes Record Run.

The next day Bartlett let himself out,
evidently. for a record, and reeled off 20
miles. Here Marvin obtained another
satisfactory sight on latitude, which gave
the position as S6SS Cor beyond the farth-
est north of Nansen and AbruzzD, and
showed that we had covered 30 minutes
of latitude in three marches.
In these three marches we had passed
the Norwegian record of S614 by Nan
sen, and the Italian record of S6.34. by
Cagni.
From this point Marvin turned back in
command of the third supporting party.
My last words 10 him were: BE care

From here we followed the captains
trail, and on April 2S our sledges
passed UP the vertical edge of the
glacier fringe, a little west of Cape
Columbia
When the last sledge came UP I
thought my Eskimos had gone crazy.
They yelled and called and danced
themselves helpless. AS ootah sat down
on his sledge he remarked, in Eskimo:
THE devil Is asleep or having trouble
with his wife, or we never should have
come back so easily"
few hours later we arrived at
Crane City, under the bluffs OF Cape
Columbia, and, after putting four
pounds of pemmican into each of the
faithful dogs to keep them quiet, we
had, at last our chance to sleep.

was necessary for Marvin to take
sledge from here, and I put Bartlett
and his division in advance to pioneer
the trail.
The continual daylight enabled me to
make a moderation here that brought my
advance and main parties closer together
and reduced the likelihood of their be-
ing separated by open leads.
After Bartlett left camp with Hender-
son and their division, Marvin and re-
manned with our division 20 hours long
er and then followed. When we reached
Bartlett's camp he broke out and went
on and we turned In. BY this arrange
ment the advance party was travelling
while the main party was asleep, and
vice versa, and 1 was in touch with my

CALL IT GERONIMO.

Editor Record,
The selection OF a name for this
territory when admitted as a state
should not be difficult. If the general
sentiment of our citizens can be as
1t should settle the matter.
There has been a suggestion that
this high honor should be conferred
upon the name of an individual. and
in view of such decision il follows
thai the name so chosen should be
one of recognized distinction and
achievement, and which stands in a
high place in the nations regard. for
no greater honor can be conferred
upon a name than by engraving it i'm
perishably upon the very structure of
The earth. 1t only remains TO dis
cover our estimate of honor, distinc-
ton, and achievement and combine
them in one great name with which
to ennobl the new state.
The name OF a county is certainly
next in importance to the name of
a state. and there are few of the old
er state but have counties named for
Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton,
Webster, Clay. and so on through the
catalogue of the statesmen and Sages
who adorned h earlier years of the
republic. These anne show the type
of men then held in honor and respect.

A Handsome Woman

Every woman may not be hand
some, but every woman should
keep with care the good points
nature has given her. No woman
need have sallow skin, dull eye,
blotchy complexion. who pays
proper attention to her health.
Where constipation, liverderange-
ments, blood impurities and other
irregularities exist, good complex
ion, bright eyes and sprightly
movements cannot exist. Internal
arrangements reveal themselves sooner
or later on the surface. Headache, dark
rings around the eyes, sallow skin, a con-
slant tired feeling---mean that the liver
and digestive organs are needing help and
correction. Chamberlain Stomach and
Liver Tablets give this necessary help.
They work in natures own way. They do not
merely flush the bowels but tone Up the liver and
stomach to fulfill their proper functions So mild
and gentle do they act that one hardly realizes
that they have taken medicine. Chamberiain's
Tablets can be relied upon to relieve biliousness.
