Travelled 10000 Miles on Foot,

StefanssOn Travelled on foot more
than 10000 miles and sustained himself
and DR.. Anderson with his rifle. He
took neither shotgun nor fishing net,
although once in awhile he obtained
fish from natives.
There are but two specimens OF the
Barren Land bear in the United States.
Stefansson got nineteen. Thirteen
were killed with a rifle and six by ma
tives. They will be brought down by
DIR. Anderson, who left the shores Of
the arctic on a whaler. DIR. Anderson
also is bringing many other biological,
geological and botanical specimens.
The winter temperature in this lati-
tude is about 55 degrees below zero
on an average. Professor Stefansson
and his associate wore woolen under
wear In summer and winter, which is
nearly all of the time; wore clothing
they made from the pelts Of animals
they killed. Pants and coats We're
made with two thicknesses of fur, one
other turned outward to meet the cold
and frost.
In the five years he spent on the ex-
pedition Stefansson killed nearly sixty
tons Of meat. He Travelled twenty
miles for every one Travelled by Amund-
sen, Peary or any other explorer and
mapped large part of the country.
The maps Of the top of the world,
he says, are grossly Inaccurate. Riv-
ers which are marked on the charts
have no existence in fact, and noun
tain ranges appear where the country
should be fiat. He found Amundsen's
maps, however, very useful and gener-
ally correct.
The Indians in the region In which
he Travelled provide for themselves
with primitive weapons. The unhunt-
ed animals, he says, have no more
chance against rifle than a mosquito
would have against pile driver.
Scientifically, the work was divided
between himself and DIR. Anderson.
Stefansson did the mapping and the
anthropological and chronological tasks,
while DIR. Anderson took care of the
biological, botanical and geological
tasks.

HARTMAN ROADS ANNOUNCE
VAST RAILROAD PROJECT.
To Spend 100000 600 to Improve the
Ogden and Sunset Routes.

Announcement is made by Judge
Robert S. LOvett, chairman Of the
Southern Pacific board, regarding bet
terment work, embodylng practically
$100,0O0,O0O in improving the Ogden
and Sunset routes.
The betterment project was forseen
by the late E. II. Hartman, and was
part of his dream to build up the
worlds foremost railroad.
The northern road into the Ogden
gateway will be taken care Of first,
and when the betterment work on it
is completed the Southern Pacific will
be Independent OF mountain grades in
crossing the Sierras, and will be able
TO make freight rates on on entirely
new basis TO meet the Panama canal
competition.
The California lines and the Sunset
route will be improved also, and gi-
Gantlc mistakes of railroad construc-
ton, inevitable in pioneer days, will
be wiped off the Southern Pacific map.
Within five years an entirely new
system, In many respects, will be
ready to defy lnteroceanic competition.
and all is in accordance with the plan
laid down by the master railroad
worker before his death.
Eventually Los Angeles Will have a
double track connection to New Or
leans by the Sunset route and South
ern Pacific connection with the Impe-
rial Valley by way of San Diego.
