How the Dash Was Made.
Had Difficulty in Breathing.

The greatest difficulties of the expedi-
uon were caused by the heights encoun-
tered. During the latter part of the
journey 10 the pole we spent nearly six
weeks al great elevations, which some
times reached 1850 feet. CThis may be
an error In cabling as Capt. Amundsen
IN his earlier report. mentioned 1880
feet as the greatest height reached
The pole itself is at an elevation of 1O.5H
feet When We were working hard. great
diff1culty was experienced In breathing
at these heights. and We painted and
struggled for breath.
With regard to- food, we had full ra-
tions all the way. but i'll that climate full
rations are very different thing to sav-
ing a. much as man can eat. There
seems little limit To ones eating powers

Report of Mrs. Mccormick.

Mrs. Medill Mccormick, chairman OF
the committee on tuberculosis of the
woman's welfare department of the Ma
tional Civic Federation. preferred the
charges against the hospital in a report
made at the annual meeting of the de-
partment last week. She arraigned the
open ward system and cited figures that
tended to show the great preponderance
or fatalities over cures. She also said
the milk and eggs supplied for the con-
sumption of the invalid inmates were not
good.
DR.. w. Robert Perkins supplemented
these charges. DR.. Perkins explains,
with other things, that he received the
following description of affairs at the hos
pital from patient:
The meat was putrid, the fish tainted,
the eggs OF the cold-storage, foul-smelling
variety. The milk was kept in pitcher
In the ice box. where each patient who
was physically able went and helped
himself: but while thus engaged often
coughed into the pitcher, leaving a plenti-
full supply Of the deadly baciln for the
next hungry patient to swallow in his
nourshment. to perhaps increase his in
fection and hasten death. Added to this
patients were allowed to die almost daily

tients, which terrified and vividly re-
minded them OF the inevitable end wait

Eating Dog Meat No Hardship.

THE first dogs were eaten on the jour-
ney 10 the pole in sJls degrees, when
twenty-four were killed. In spite Of the
fact that they had not always been able
TO obtain fun meals the dogs were fat
and proved most delicious eating. IT Is
anything but real hardship to eat dog
flesh.
Two skua gulls were seen at S4i5 de-
Grces- A small cairn had previously been
erected as mark to guide us on our re-
turn. and just when we had left this the
guls came flying past and aliehted on
the cafrn.
Three Dogs Deserted.
Three Of the best dogs deserted the
party at s3 degrees. We had killed fe-
male dog at S21s degrees, and the dogs
went back. searching for her. This
caused US great anxiety. for it was feared
that the dogs would pillage the depots on
which the party depended. When we re-
turned to S3 degrees. after being at the
pole. we saw fresh dog tracks around the
large snow cairn used as depot there
Curiously enough. the pemmican in the
depot was untouched.
Traces of the dogs were followed to
been killed. They had found the body,
which was placed on the top of a heap
OF snow food reserve for the party
and, having eaten it, the dogs had gone

whatever showing that Capt Scott had
Deen at the pole, but V is possible that
lie had been there and had left some un-
substantial memorial which had after
ward been destroyed by the storms.
The chances. however, are heavily
against this theory. for during the three
days that ! was there the weather was
raim and still. and ] think that is the
prevalent condition. There was nothing
but the vast level plains of snow, and
a permanent cairn of stones.
The season was very favorable and
therefore 1t is exceedingly likely that
Capt. Scott did reach the pole later, II
not sooner. than myself. l most sin
cerely hope he did arrive there, for he
we'll deserves success.
How the Dash Was Made.
'On my siedging journey to the pole a
new plan was tried. At first the expe-
dtion daily travelled fifteen miles in Ave
hours. then spent two hours eating and in
feeding the dogs, and then We attempted
to spend the other seventeen hours in
sleep. This period of rest was found to
he too long both for the men and dogs,
and a new plan was tried. This was to
march fifteen miles in about six hours.

DON'T KILL THE CATS

Don. II. Biggers, who is truck
farming on his place northwest
Of town about two miles COM
plains that somebody is using too
much authority around his place
in the way Of shooting his cats.
Mr.. Bigger states that he keeps
several cats about the place for
the purpose Of catching rabbits
and ground squirrels, which
proved very destructive TO his
growing crop last season, and
the cats were a great help in
keeping these pests killed out,
one cat having been known TO
kill several in one day. He
states that some one with a gun,
who loves TO shoot better than 10
act sensible deliberately shot and
instantly killed one Of these valu-
able co-workers. Soon after he
procured another, and she was
likewise dispatched TO cat heaven,
and the Bigger farm is minus
one more faithful helper IN des-
troying the rabbits and squirrels.
This is very likely the act Of a
thoughtless boy, or IL might have
been the work Of a don't care
man, but which ever il is. il
matters not, they are committing
an act that is uncaled for, and
though 1t may appear a very in
significant matter, il means
something 10 the owner Of the
cats and he would appreciate il
very much If they will not be
guilty of such any more. There
are hundreds of worthless eats
in town that il would be a bless
ing TO dispose Of, but not so
with those on the farm. They
are a necessity, a valuable asset
and should not be molested.

GETS OUT SPECIAL EDITION


Last Tuesday the Lubbock
Avalanche got out a special edi-
ton. Ii was the largest Ava
lanche ever seen on the Staked
Plains. Snow fell for fourteen
hours and Aeolus loosed from
his rocky caverns all his winds.
The Geld Bora of Alps was there,
the Gregale of Malta raced with
the ice-laden Pana of Peru, the
Pampero of the AIDES blew hand
in hand with the Blizzard of
Amarillo. But Lubbock's own
peculiar wind, cyclone, tornado
and Avalanche rolled into one,
blew, twisted. chilled, havocked,
blighted, destroyed and earned
for itself the name Lublanche.
SO a new wind was born and
Lubbock has a new claim 70
fame. Editor Dow should be
proud of his Special Edition.
Several of the Sweetwater
citizens were caught in the Lub-
lanche. Col. A. Ely on alight-
ing from the train saw a lone
snow-covered mortal standing
on the south side of the depot
and addressed him thus: Hello;
Doc. Cook, you are here at last.
