Trade Follows Good Roads.

From the Schenectady Gazette.
Heavy loads of farm produce are
held up by bad roads, and the better
route is chosen for them. sometimes,
even when the market is not as much
to the liking of the farmer as the one
offered by city or town situated on
poorer highways. The important fact
about this Is that the farmers usually
do their trading in the same place
where they market their crops. and
their trade is valuable to the mer-
chants of any city.

Little Trouble in Leads.

South of where Marvin had turned
back we came to where his party had
built several igloos while delayed by
open leads. still further south we
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp
Fortunately the movement of these
leads was simply open and shut, and II
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain. Marvin. and as
found later. Borup, had been delayed
by open leads we seemed to bear
charm and with no single lead were we
delayed more than couple OF hours
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough to carry us across: sometimes
a short detour, sometimes brief halt
for the lead to close, sometimes an inn
provised ferry on an ice cake, kept the
trail without difficulty down to the
tenth outward march

and we hit the trail before midnight

hours, the dogs being often on the trot.

the march we rushed across lead 100
yards wide. which buckied under our

Heavy Running Ice.

Finally on September we squeezed
around Cape Union and made fast In a
shallow niche in the ice, but after some
hours we made another short run to
Black cape and hung on to a grounded
bit of Ice. At last. little after mid
night of September 8. we passed through
extremely heavy running ice into a
stream of open water. rounded Cape
Rawson and passed Cape Sheridan
Within a quarter of hour OF the
same time we arrived three years before

the open water extending beyond Cape

Macmillan Turns Back.

At night Marvin and Borup came spin
ming in with their men and dogs steam
ing in the bitter air like a squadron of
battleships. Their arrival relieved me
of all anxiety as to our oil supply
In the morning 1 discovered that Mac
Millan's foot was badly frost bitten. The
mIshap had occurred two or three days
before. but Macmillan had said nothing
about It in the hope that 1t would come
out all right
A glance at the Injury showed me that
the only thing was to send him back to
Cape Columbia at once. The arrival of
Marvin and Borup enabled me to spare
sufficient men and dogs to 60 back with
him.
On leaving the camp the expedition
comprised 16 men, u sledges dnd 100 dogs

AT noon of March the sun, red and

Election, just raised itself above the hori-
zon for a few minutes and then dlsap-
peared again. 1t was the first time had
seen it since October /.
now began to feel a good deal of
anxiety because there were no signs
of Marvin and Borup. who should have
been there for two days. Besides, they
had the alcohol and oil. which were in
dispensable for us.
We concluded that they had either lost
the trail or were imprisoned on an is
land by open water, probably the latter.
Fortunately. on March II the lead was
practicable and. leaving note for Mar
win and Borup to push on after us by
forced marches. we proceeded northward
The sounding of the lead gave ITO
fathoms
During this march we crossed the
eighty-fourth parallel and traversed a
succession of just frozen leads, from a
few hundred yards to mile in width.
This march WIS really simple
On the fourteenth we got free of the
leads and came on decent going. While
we were making camp courier from

hours later:

made sleep impossible for hours. despite
my utter fatlgue-the sensations OF a life

The first 30 hours at the pole were
spent in taking observations: in going
some ten miles beyond our camp and
some eight miles to the right OF It: in
taking photographs. planting my flags.

Borup Valuable in MANY Ways.

Borup not only made the record as to
the distance travelled during the jour-

knowledge of photography is due what
I believe to be the uneQua1ed series OF
photographs taken by the expedition.

sistant Scott. kept the machinery up
