That experience completed his training and

The way through the Northwest Passage
had been sought for three hundred years
hy daring sailors. among them Frobsher,
John Cabot. Sir Hugh Willoughby. Richard
Chancellor, John Davis, Sir John Ross and
Sir John Franklin. Amundsen studied care
fully the records Of these men. He further
prepared himself for the task by under
going a course Of two years study in
magnetism and meteOrology.
Meanwhile he had conducted an ardent
campaign to arouse public interest and
collect funds to finance the venture on
June IS, 1872. he sailed north from Chris
tiania OIL board the Gjoa, a small but
sturdy sloop. with crew of only eight
men Proceeding TO Lancaster Sound he
sailed past Cape Adelaide and King Will

the winter.
The following spring began his two years
fight with the ice. Only once did he sight
civilized beings other than his crew. That
was on August 26. when he met an Amcrl-
can whaler to the east Of Cape Bathurst.
Finally he brought his little vessel
through the Bering Strait and thus for
the first time accomplished the Northwest

Couldn't Pay for Telegram.
Curiously enough. lack OF funds to pay
for a telegram prevented the world from
getting prompt news OF this exploit When
the Gjos went into winter quarters at King
Point. near the mouth of the Mackenzie
River. Amundsen went 20 Fort Egbert

PROSPECTS BETTER.

X wider knowledge of the real trouble with Alaska is being shown by many Eastern news papers. For example, the Brook lyn Eagle, commenting upon the coal famine in that territory, says:
 'The plight of Nome is the re- suit of eXccrably bad gOvcrn- mcntal policy. In the first place, we have denied to Alaska con- trol of her own affairs, such as Angl0-SaXons have a right to cy- pcci. Tn the second place, we have played policies to the cy- tent of preventing private capi- tai from developing AlaSka's coal fields. In the third place, through governmental agencies. toward mining and transporting coal tO where it is needed"
 When such clear and sane un- dcrstanding of the actual c0ndi- tions in Alaska and the reasons therefor are shown in the East the prospects for relief for Alas ka are certainly growing better.
