THE CLASS RETURNS
And Work is Resumed at the 0s-
kaloosa High School.

On the theory perhaps that
the better the day, the better the
deed" the parents met with President
Carbon of the School Board, and a
representative of the faculty Sunday
afternoon and settled the high school
trouble by arbitration. The meeting
was held at the Y. NJ. G. A. building
Mr.. Carbon. About twenty parents Of
the members of the senior class were
present, and others had signified
their willingness to abide by the &C.
tion of the meeting.
A committee of three was appoint
ed, comprising Mr.. Perry of the
School Board, Prof. Hare of the high
school faculty and Nj. Wallet of the
parents, to draw up resolution of
arbitration. This was soon done and
the meeting sanctioned the provis-
ions
The pupils are all to go back with
out signing any statement and as
though nothing had happened, other
than that they are to be penalized
one-half of one per cent for each of
the first two days that they were out
of school. The members of the class
also are to prepare and deliver the
orations as ordered.
The class members all returned to
their work Monday morning and Roy
Anderson, as president of the class,
served as spokesman and presented
the case fairly to the faculty. 1t is
hoped the work will now proceed
without further interruption and that
the class of 1912 will acquit them
selves as we'll as any class that has
ever left the old o. II. S.

Hobart, Tasmania, March Son the
10th of February, 1911, we commenced
to work our way toward the south,
from that day to the 18th Of April es-
tablishing three depots, which in all
contained a quantity Of provisions, Of
about 5000 kilos. One thousand six
hundred kilos, including LOO kilos Of
seal meat, were cached in 80 degrees,
700 kilos in 81 degrees and 800 kilos
in SO degrees south latitude.
AS no landmarks were to be seen,
these depots were marked with flags,
seven kilometers on each side in the
easterly and westerly directions.
The ground and the state OF the
barrier were of the best, and specially
we'll adapted to driving with dogs. On
February IS, we had thus travelled
about 100 kilometers. The weight Of
the sledges was 300 kilos, and the num-
Der of dogs was six for each sledge.
The surface of the barrier was smooth
and fine with no sastrugi. The crew
ices were very local and were found
dangerous in only two places. For the
rest-long. smooth undulations.
The weather was excellent, calm or a
light breeze. The lowest temperature
on these depot trips was minus 45
celsius or centigrade. (49 degrees be-
low zero, Fahrenheit). On the 4th of
March, on our return from the first
trip beginning on the 18th OF February,
we found out that the Fran had al.

Winter on the Ice Barrier.
Before the arrival of winter we had
5000 kilos of seal meat in the depots,
enough for ourselves and 10 dogs.
Eight dog houses, combination of
tents and snow huts, were built
Having cared for the dogs the turn
came to use our solid little hut. 1t was
almost entirely covered with snow by
the middle of April.
First we had to get light and air.
The Lux lamp. which had a power Of
200 standard candles gave us a bril-.
