At the South Pole.

According to our reckonings we had
reached our destination. All of us
gathered around the colors-a beauti-
full silk fag-all hands taking hold of
it and planting it. The vast plateau
on which the pole is standing got the
name of the "King Haakon VII. pla-
teau." It is vast plain, alike in all
directions. Mile after mile during the
night we eircled around the camp.
In the fine weather we spent the
following day taking a series of OBJ
servations from a. m. to z p. m. The
result gave us SO degrees SIS minutes.
In order to observe the pole as closely
as possible we Travelled as near south
as possible the remaining nine kilo-
meters.
On December 16 there we eamped. It
was an excellent opportunity. There
was brilliant sun. Four of us took
observations every hour of the day, "a
hours. The exact result win be the
matter of a professional private re-
port.
This much is certain-that we OBJ
served the pole as close as it is in
human power to do it with the in
struments we had-a sextant and an
artificial horizon.
On December II everything was in
order on the spot. We fastened to the
ground a little tent we had brought
along, a Norwegian flag and the Fran
pennant on top of it.
The Norwegian home at the south
pole was called "Polheim.
The distance from our winter quar-.
ters to the pole was about 14OO kilo
meters. The average march day was
25 kilometers.
Bringing Captain Roald Amundser
and his crew from their successful ex
petition to the south pole, the Fran
arrived at Hobart March quite un
heralded.
Early in the morning the barkentins

local barkentine Iris from Adelaide, but
it was signaled that it was the Fran

ports Of violations by saloons, keeping

were made to gather the necessary
evidence and proceed vigorously against
the places suspected Of violating the
laws to enforce which the League was

Of minors.
1t is said that some Of the places for
merly placed under injunction Of tho
district court have been guilty OF
violating the injunction as wen as the
laws Of the state.
For some months the city was al
most entirely free from gambling,
owing to the drastic operations of the
League resulting in a number Of con-
victions, license forfeitures, and in

been a revival OF the law breaking.

RANGERS AND POLICE
IN A NEAR BATTLE
Mistaken Identity Nearly
Causes a Tragedy on
Sunset Heights.

Police and rangers came near haT-
ing a rifle duel in Sunset Heights
Wednesday, night as the result of a
case Of mistaken Identity.
a shipment of 5000 rounds of rifle
ammunition had been cached in the
canyon northeast of the WaterWorks
reservoir on Sunset Heights. Mexican
secret service men, working under
Abram Molina, discovered the amnu-
milton cache and reported it to Molina
In an effort TO capture the smugglers
when they came to the canyon for
the ammunition, state rangers, accom-
panied by Molina, went to the place
and, while they were waiting for the
men to come someone, said to be an
employee Of the Mexican consul, noti-
fled the police that there were armed
men hiding in the hills of Sunset
Heights. A hurry up run was made
and the officers, with their guns
drawn, approached the place where
the armed men were reported to be.
Seeing the police approaching and
thinking they were the smugglers,
the rangers were ready to cover them.
The Identification of the police by
one Of the rangers prevented what
might have been 4 fatal mistake.
In the meantime the smugglers, who
were expected, are said to have es
capped from the vicinity Of the cache
and escaped
Thursday morning state rangers
and deputy marshals arrested AvilinO
and SAVING Guadarama, Ysabel Lar
azolla, Longino Gonzales on
charge of conspiracy to smuggle NUM-
tons Of war to Mexico. Three Of the
men were arrested at the smelter set
brothers at the corner Of Sixth and

at $4,000 by United States connis-
sioner g. B. Oliver. ~fe-

enough to be energetic, efficient he is
capable.
His record is one that he can present
to the people of FL PasO county with
out hesitation. Ten years in FL Paso
he has spent in rendering efficient ser
vice in private affairs. -Four years OF
this he was connected with the general
freight department OF the FL Paso &
Southwestern. There he received the
necessary training~tO fit him for the
county collectorship.
As the leading member of the firm
of V. Z. Ware & Co.. he engaged in the
fuel business in FL Paso for four more
years. His friendships made in this
business are witness to his fairness,
honesty, and business ability.
For the past two years he has been
a member of the general contracting
firm Of Jolly & Ware. During this
time he has helped FL Paso grow by
building homes for FL Pasoans honest
" and satisfactorily.
Add to such a record an independence
that cannot come with ring domination,
a personality which is pleasing, and an
honesty that is unquestioned. V. E.
Ware is an ideal. man for the position
which he asks-not from the ring or
ganization-but from the people Of FL
