lars by raising the price of wheat on
the board OF trade, has fed from the
city for fear that an attempt will be
made upon his life. was learned here
today Ever since Patten secured a
corner on the cereal and was sue
cessful in raising it's price to a higher
mark than 1t had ever been before In
It's history he has been the recipient
of letters from persons threatening
his life. Lately the letters have be-
come more frequent and ugly and
that Patten feared that their authors
would carry into execution the
threats is evidenced by the fact that
he took up his flight and disappeared
while a red hot fight was raging in
the wheat pit.

OF human beings continues a. bad II

and provide for the strain Of adaptable

our sled factory were very good.
For dog harness the Eskimo pattern
was adopted. but canine economy is
such that when rations are reduced to
workable limits the leather strips dis
appear as food. To overcome this dis

Of folds of strong canvas, while the

Foolish indeed is the explorer who
ignores this detail Of the problem.
Transport Of a boat, however, offers
many serious objections. Narsen in
troduced the kayak, and most explor-
ers since have adopted the same de-
vice. The Eskimo canoe serves the
purpose very well, but to carry it for
three months without hopeless destruc-
ton requires an amount of energy
which stamps the polar venture With
failure.
Selecting . Boat.
Sectional boats. aluminium boats,
skin floats and other devices have been
tried. but to oil there is the same fatal
objection OF Impossible transportation.

We found it t o fit the situation ex-
actly. selecting a twelve foo Eureka
shaped boat with wooden frame. The
Stats. spreaders and floor pieces were
utilized as parts Of sleds. The can
vas cover served as a floor cloth for
our sleeping bags. Thus the boat did
useful service for q hundred days and
was never in evidence as a cumber-
some device.
When at last the craft was spread
and covered. in it we carried the sled.
in it We camped, in it we sought game,
the meat of which took the place Of
exhausted supplies. Without it we,
too, would not have returned.
Preparation of the staple food sup
ply is of even greater Importance than
means Of locomotion. To the success
of a prolonged arctic enterprise in
transit successive experience is bound
to dictate a wise choice Of equipment.
but it does not often educate the
stomach.
From the published accounts of arc
tic travellers 1t is impossible to select
a satisfactory menu for future explor-

our experience will be equally unsatis-
factory to subsequent victims.
Nor is it safe to listen to scientific
advice. for the stomach Is the one or
