WHY AMUNDSEN GOT THERE.
Peary Says Secret of Success Lay in
Use of Dogs.

Rear Admiral Peary in the World S
Work for May discusses briefly Cap
tain Amundsens achievement.
"To my mind he had one great ad-
vantage over the Scott expedition, "
says Admiral Peary. His tractive
power was dogs. His experience with
them in the south proved their effec-
tiveness as my experience did in the
north. Captain SCOTS equipment in
cludes twenty ponies and thirty dogs,
and one or two ice automobiles, Civ
ing him with his men four different
kinds of tractiye power for dragging
his sledges. But the number of his
dogs is comparatively few. Captain
Amundsen lost thirty-siX of his, or
six more than Captain Scott took.
The British seem to have put their
main reliance on their ponies and
their motors, and in this, while |
may be mistaken, feel both on gen.
eral principles and from a study of
Shackleton's experiences, that they
may be handicapped

BURBANK SOCIETY.
Society is Organized to ForestalI
Corner"

San Francisco.-To prevent the
cOmmercializing of the life work
of Luther Burbank, the famous horti-
culturist, Luther Burbank society
has been organized and chartered by
the state of California, with the def
mite purpose of seeing that the
work of the great scientist is given
to pOsterity without entail
The society has no capital stock
and no power to incur debts or to
earn profits. It's purpose is solely
to assist Luther Burbank in the dis
semination of his teachings, so that
the greatest number may profit in
the greatest degree. 1t has an eX-
tensive membership, with names of
nationwide fame on the roll. The
aim is to place the wizard knowl-
edge in convenient book form at
nominal cost before every farmer,
gardener or horticulturist in the
world.
The home of the organization is
situated at Burbanks grounds at
Santa Rosa and its activities will
have his personal guidance and CO.
operation.

BOARD OF INQUIRY.
Southern Pacific Company Institutes
New Plan.

San Francisco Boards of inquiry
will hereafter be convened to asceT-
tain the cause and fix the responsible
ity where such immediate cause is
not clearly manifest, for all accidents
on the Southern Pacific, according to
information made public in the gem
eral offices of the Southern Pacific.
Full publicity as to the findings of
such inquiry boards will also be-
given.
This is new move on the part
of the Southern Pacific and is in line
with its policy of full publicity for
accidents adopted several years ago.
Following an accident that is not of
minor consequence, the ranking Off
cial on the division on which the ac-
cident occurs shall convene the board,
which board shall comprise two dis
interested persons not connected with
the railroad, and the division officers
representing the operating, mechan-
ical and engineering departments.
The board must visit the scene of the
accident and must take the testimony
of employees and e-witnesses, per-
sisting in the investigation until the
NluStS are utlellllllleu. OuOulu ul'
vision board of inquiry fail to reach
a conclusion, second board, COM
prising higher officials, shall be con-
vened, and if the findings of the sec
ond board be not conclusive, the gen.
eral manager will convene third
board.
The instructions to officers who
shall convene inquiry boards state
specifically that the responsibility
must be fixed regardless of individ-
uals or interests affected The find
ings must be turned over to the gen
eral manager and from the latters
office to the press. Prominent bust
ness men from the neighborhood in
which an accident may occur usually
sit as members of such boards, and
of several inquiries already held the
findings of these boards have all
been unanimous.

Miss OIeander Hughes Passes.

Miss Oleander Hughes, who has
been afflicted for several years, but
whose last severe illness was but for
a few days, died at the Granite City
hospital on Monday night, May 27,
having been removed from the home
on Beach street only a few days be-
fore for special treatment. She was
2S years of age and was especially
we'll known in the vicinity of Phoe-
nix, where she grew to young wom-
anhood. At 16 years of age she
united with the Christian church at
Phoenix, and after moving to Ash
land with her mother, became a
memb Der of her chosen church in Ash
land She had a multitude of young
friends down the valley, and all who
knew her loved her, because of her
unselfish, pure and noble life. She
dearly loved children, and the little
ones on every hand became attached
to her. Her family and friends have
| great satisfaction in seeing her die
! fully conscious, saying in her last
moments, Il am going home to
glory" She leaves a mother, four
brothers and large circle of friends

VAST SILENT WILDERNESS.
Primeval Stiffness Vividly Portrayed
in Story of Canadian Wilds.

Thirteen hundred miles by canoe
through the Canadian wilderness
along the Albany river to James bay
is the trip described by George Marsh
in Scribners, in writing which makes
on realize something of the oppres-
sixe weight of the primeval stiffness
that rests upon the voyager in places
where only the Indian has as yet
lived as master. He says:
Many times in the still August
afternoons we ran for hours without
speaking-the depression of the
silence Sitting all desire for conver-
sation. Save for the scream of a
hawk wheeling above spruce forests,
and the wash of hurrying waters on
stony shores, no sound met our ears
The graceful birches and poplars,
swaying in their long white frocks
like slender Burne-Jones ladies, beck
oned and nodded as we passed, while
in the background their swarthy hus-
bands, the everpresent black spruce
kept jealous guard Then, often.
breezes in the tree tops became
strains of great orchestras, and the
babel of many voices filled the air.
Although in September, on the
bay, bright, clear day was unusual,
yet often at evening the clouds would
break, to reveal the splendor of a
matchless sunset, and when the moon
was full many of the nights were
beyond description. The milky way
banded the heavens with a dense
whiteness unknown to lower lati-
tudes. Up from the sea-line the rib
boned lights of the aurora borealis
pulsed and wavered, or streamed-
now opaque, now diaphanous, family
yelling the sky"

REPORT PRESENTED.
Titanic Investigating Committee
Fixes Responsibility.

Washington, d. C.-The United

Star liner Titanic with loss of more
than 800 lives, following a col
lision with an iceberg off the New
foundland coast last month, formally
presented its report to the senate

cation.

the rate of 2415 miles per hour at
the time of the collision.
That there were 2,223 persons
aboard, of whom 33 per cent were

California to answer the Titanic's
distress signals.
That 60 per cent of the first class.
AZ per cent of the second class, and
% per cent of the third class pas
sengers and "a per cent of the crew
were saved.
That four warnings of ice ahead
were ignored by the Titanic.
That of eight vessels near the I'll
tanic at the time of the disaster only
the Carpathia assisted.
That there was no panic, but that
short crew" poorly drilled and
poorly commanded only partially
manned the Titanic's lifeboats.
That the White Star Company sup
pressed the news of the disaster and
sent misleading messages to the rela-
| tives of survivors.
That Wireless Operator Cottam of
the Carpathia withheld important
news of the catastrophe and then
sold it for blood money" in New
! York.

who killed several months ago. Investigation has
disclosed that in 1908 and 1903 approximately 10000
elephants, bearing ivory valued at s2,5OOOO0, we're
killed In Africa by hunters and poaohers, chiefly by
the latter Assertion is made that II the British Gov
ernment had not adopted conservation measures in
its African territory, the elephants there would have
been exterminated, mercilessly they being
slaughtered by those who had regard for or
In the restricted districts no may shoot

elephants is In force in all the districts and heavy
penalties imposed for violation Of that law. The
bull elephant also is protected to the extent that
hunter is permitted to shoot more than two in any
year. and then heavy license fee is imposed.
Even a licensed hunter may not kill elephant that

spite these resr ctons the territory affected by them
Is large that there still is much ruthless slaughter
