WHAT is LEFT FOR EXPLORERS
NEVER BEEN PENETRATED By MEN.

Similar difficulties in the way of ap.
proach have prevented exploration iE
portions of Central Africa, but
il is probable that Africa. the last of
the continents TO be explored. will be
completely mapped before the geo.
graphers are satisfied with their work
in Canada. One eason for the great
or activity in African exploration is
that several European powers are in.
in knowing all there is to know about
the territory in it's own possession.
and each is spurrcd on by the possi-
bility of finding some hidden treasure
and forestalling a rival. In Canada
we know that whatever is here is ours.
No other discoverer can remove it,
and we are far O busy in develop
ing what we have to spend much
thought or money on explorations that
are likely to have merely a scientific
value. Speaking Of African explora-
ton. Cyrus c. Adams. secretary of the
American Geographical society. has
remarked that it took more than fifty
years after it had been discovered to
get a good map of the Victoria Ny
ANA. the second largest fresh water
lake in the world.
The Russians are great explorers,
but there remains a vast forest area
that stretches across Siberia south OF
the tundra belt along the frozen ocean
that has not been penetrated. This
work will be gradually accomplished
by the Russian government, and it is
probable that the whole region will
be preserved as a forest reserve. Asia
offers few more opportunities for the
explorer except as regards certain
portions of Thibt, the hitherlands OF
Burmah, Siam and Cambodia, and
western China, Chinese Tuskestan and
Mongolia. In nearly all Of these re.
gions there are exploring parties al

Africa. In certain portions Of Aus
tralia there is work to be done.
Part OF the interior desert is yet un.

tropical region that remains to be

THE RAMSEY COUNTY PAN.

ramsey county has taken what
n llmes believes is the most SEN
Sln'e as We'll as practical step in the
general work of building good roads
mat has boon made in tho state. The
county commissioners have appro-
priatcd $3.50 and the Devils Lake
commercial club has raised a like
amount to be used in the purchase.
and We presume the operation of a
traction engine. The engine will be
used in road work such as hauling
gravel and possibly grading where
necessary.
But the important point is that it
VIII be used to drag the roads of the
ei'irc county SO far as it is prac-
tlcai or possible to do. Last year tho
Iimes discussed at some length tho
~dVls bility of employing a man and
team in each county for the same
purpose. The drag in this state is
the solution Of the good roads prpb.
lem, no matter what the highbrows
may preach. The operation of drag.
ging serves the purpose Of lleeping
the surface smooth and forming a
compact layer that becomes more
lmpervlous to water than the uneven
surface. And where water is kent
out OF the body of the road bod. traf-
nc does little damage in the wav of
cutting ruts. These. in brief, are
the advantages derived from the
drag.
the first cost OF the Ramsey coun-
~ is probably greater than
the one of employing a team. but the
operating expense will be less and
the apparatus will be the property of
the county. On the whole, the en-
CINE scheme is the better one.
The result of the plan will be to
give Ramsey county an ideal system
OF roads. The farmers will profit be-
cause they will be able to haul their
crops to market with far less ex-
pense because of the larger load
possible to be drawn by the same
morse power n the less wear and
tear on both teams and wagons. The
merchants in every town and CITY
having good roads will profit because
OF the better facilities for reaching
the city. A farmer can add a few
miles to the distance, and save money
over the shorter route on bad roads.
n advantages Of a town having
good roads leading to it over a COM
petitor having poor roads are enough
to pay for the extra expense of ron
structing. In Ramsey county the OK
penses seem to have been equitably
divided.
The Ramsey county plan will be-
come. We believe. a sort of good
roads slogan-a system of operation
that will extend wherever the split
log drag is used. The county COM
m%issioners, the Commercial club and
the citizens generally are to be con-
graduated.
