came here and was shown the great ad-
vantages Jasper enjoys as point for the
establishment of manufacturing industries,
is busily at work erecting buildings on
the six-acre site he purchased for a great
hub factory. Here he found cheap coal,
free water, forests of timber and the finest
shipping facilities imaginable.

Next June, towever, Mr.. Welman will again
set sail for tie pole with the assurance that
his machine viii Ierform at least part of the
journey satisfactorily. On ethereal subjects
Wellman has become an expert. He has also
had real polar experience. Mr.. Wellman not
long ago declfSae that his airshp is for his
own purpose o. finding the pole, more efficient
than that of Count Zeppelin which can sail
all day long 'eihout dropping to earth for
more gasoline.
Commodore Teary Ia to-day scrutinizing arc

He will go as Ear north as Is possible on his

real fruits of tits expedition become known to

Many lives have been lost in the quest for

Home Industry in Colorado.

This state is gradually coming to
the front as manufacturing center.
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles of
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some of
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time, but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter in this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products.
By the increased home demand for
these products prices will of course
become higher. This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home industries.

which would greet his eyes would make him
the envy of Rip Van Wrinkle.
Discovery OF the nortn pole will doubtless be
made within the lifetmes of many citizens of
to-day. Anyhow that is what the scientists de-
clare They say the mere discovery of the
pole is simple. 1t is the conquerng of the de-
tails which must be surmounted that require
the thought and efforts
Most novel of all plans 10 plant the American
flag or for that matter any other country's
flag on top of the pole is that which some
time ago was proposed by Evelyn Briggs Bald
win who is now working out details of his
scheme.
This intrepid explorer aims to float to the
pole and take plenty of time getting there He
laid out the plan in detail before the Harvard
union at Cambridge. Mass, some time ago and
while some blase persons were skeptical 9TH
