Hobarttown Tasmania.-On Feb. 10,
1911, we finally commenced to work
our way toward the southwark, from
that day to April II, establishing three
depots, which in all contained a Quanti-
ty Of provisions about 5000 kilos.
One thousand six hundred kilos, in
Guiding LOO kilos OF seal meat, were
cached in 80 degrees, $50 kilos in 81
degrees and 500 kilos IA - degrees
south latitude. AS the land MARKS we're
to be seen, these depots were market
with flags, seven kilometers on each
side in the easterly and westerly di-
rections.
The ground and the state of the bar
rier were of the best, and specially
well adapted to driving with dogs. On
February Is, we had 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 crevices
were local and were found dangerous
in only two places, for the rest long,
smooth undulation. The weather was
excellent, calm, or with light breeze.
The lowest temperature on these depot
trips was minus As Celsius or Cent?
grade (49 degrees below, Fahrenheit.)
On March 4, on our return from the
first trip beginning February Is, we
found out that the Fran had already
left us. With pride and delight we
heard that her smart captain had sue
ceeded in sailing her furthest south
and there hosting the colors of his
country-a glorious moment for him
and his comrades-the furthest north
and the furthest south-good old Fran.
The highest south latitude attained
was 78 degrees IL minutes.
Winter on the Ice Barrier.
Before the arrival of winter We had
5000 kilos of seal meat in the depots,
enough for ourselves and 40 dogs.
Eight dog houses, a 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 brilliant light and
kept the temperature up to 20 degrees
Celius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
throughout the winter, and our ex-
cellent ventilation system gave us all
the air we wanted.
In direct communication with the
hut and dug-out on the barrier were
workshops, packing rooms, cellars for
provisions, coal wood, and oil, plain
bath, steam bath, and observatories.
Thus We had everything within doors
if the weather should be cold and
stormy.
The sun left us April 20 and did not
return until four months later. The
winter was spent in changing our whole
outfit, which on the depot trips was
found to be too clumsy and solid for
the smooth surface of the barrier. Be
sides this, as much scientific work as
possible was done, and some astonish-
ing meteorology observations were TAX

Open Water all Winter.

There was very little snow, and there
was open water close by throughout
the winter. For the same reason a
higher temperature had been expect
ed, but it remained very low.
In five months there were observed
temperatures between minus SO and so
degrees Celius (5S and rs degrees be.
low zero Fahrenheit), the lowest tenn
perature, August 10, being minus SO de-
grees Celsius. 1t was then calm. On
August 1 the temperature was minus
IS degrees Celsius, and there were
six meters of wind The mean tempera-
ture for the year was minus 26 degrees
Celsius GAS below zero Fahrenheit).
l had expected hurricane after hurri-
cane, but observed only two moderate
storms and many excellent Auroras-
Australis in all directions.
The sanitary conditions were of the
best all through the winter and when
the sun returned, August "a, he got
the men sound in mind and body, ready
to set about the task that had to be
solved.
Already, the day before, we had
brought our sledges to the starting
place for our march tour of the south.
Only in the beginning of September
did the temperature rise to such an ex-
tent that there was any question of
setting out.

Southern's President Looks For
Benefits To Follow New
Steamer Line.

NEW YORK, July H.-Presiden Fin
ley, of the Southern Railway, today ex-
pressed confidence that shipping facili-
ties with Latin-American countries will
be greatly increased.
Referring to the recent establishment
Of steamship service from New Orleans
to the east coast of South America and
to the aggrandizements that have been
made to inaugurate direct steamship
service from Mobile to the east coast
Of South America on September II, he
said:
During the ten months ended April
80 last the total value of exports from
the United States to Central and South
America and the West Indies amount
ed to $2l6, 246,S16, an increase OF $26,
27S or IA per cent over last year
THE new steamship lines from the
gulf are to operate directly to ports of
Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, and
the trade of the United States with
these countries is increasing even faster
than with thee Latin-Amertcan coun-
tries as a whole.
with trade growing so rapidly and
with the South American markets TAX
ing increasing quantities of commodi-
ties thaet can be produced advanta-
geously in the Southeastern States, the
Inauguration of this direct steamship
service should he followed by sub
stantial increase in the export business
of our Southeastern merchants and
manufacturers"

Good Grain Crop Aids
Business Through West

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. July h.-Hun-
dreds of reports received today from
the grain fields OF Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wis
consin indicate that the grain crop is
we'll advanced toward maturity, with
favorable conditions fully maintained.
The travelling men who work out of
Minneapolis began sending in optimistic
letters early in the week after the dry
period was broken. and such letters arc
still coming In.
Crop prospects are above the average
for this season OF the year. There Is not
a section In which the crop outlook is
not good, ana many counties bid fair
to produce ord-breaking yields. Only
in scattered localities, where hail dam
age has been done. is there any change
from the general prospects.

northern counties of the Red River val

EXPECTED TO PASS
BILL ON GAMBLING
|NCOTTON At ONCE
House Decides to Pass on
Measure Under Special
Ruling.

The Rules Committee has presented
to the House a special rule for the I'M
mediate consideration of the Beal anti
option bill prohibiting gambling in cot
ton futures.
The bill, which probably will pass
under the special rule before adjourn
ment today, is similar to the Scott BILL
which passed the House in the Sixty
first Congress, but which was never
enacted into law.
The principal provisions of the bill,
which was vigorously opposed by the
cotton exchanges. but which has the
support of practically all members of
the House from the cotton-growing
States, are as follows:
One section makes 1t unlawful for any
person to send or cause to be sent any
message offering to make or enter in
to a contract for the purchase or sale
of cotton without intending that such
cotton shall be actually delivered and
received, and provides penalties for
violation.
Another section makes It the duty Of
any person sending any message re-
lating to a contract for the future de-
livery of cotton to furnish to the per-
son transmitting such message an afti-
daYit to the effect that the message
does not relate to the character of con-
tracts described in section 2, and pro-
vides penalties for any false statement
that may be made in such affidavit.
This section also provides that proof
of failure to make any affidavit re-
quired in the act shall be prima facie
evidence that the message or mes
sages related to a contract prohibited
by section of the act, and that proof
of failure to deliver or receive the
cotton called for IN any contract ;or
future delivery shall be prima tacie
evidence that there was no intention
TO deliver or receive said cotton when
said contract was made.

The Future Money Market.

Speculative sentiment started off de-
pressed with the first session Of the

heavy deficit Of S,775,OOO in the reserves
OF the clearing house banks, to which
the brokerage element gave considera-
ton over the Sunday.
Although it was generally accepted
that the heavy loss in cash and re-
serves was a result of special ci-cum-
stances, the dividend and interest re-
uuirements of the half year, the heavy
payments on account of corporation
taxes to Washington. and the desire.
perhaps, of some corporations or firms

Topeka School to Enter Inter-
collegiate Balloon Events.
Gas Bag Furnished by Western

Big UNIVERSITIES ARE IN

Others VIII Contest.
Good Advertisement for Wash
burn and Topeka.

Not to be outdone by any of her
big eastern sister schools, Washburn
college of Topeka will enter a balloon
In the national intercollegiate race to
be held out of Kansas City June %.
The matter will be placed before the
executive committee of the board of
trustees of the college next week and
every indication is that the scnool will
decide to enter the national event
The Western Aero association of
Topeka has offered to lend Washburn
college the big balloon Topeka IL
This is the balloon that has become
famous over the country through its
entrance into the recent national in
ternational and Pacific coast Aerial
meets. Washburn will pay the entire
expense of the trip and furnish an
undergraduate as an aide to the To-
peka pilot, Frank M. Jacobs.
The national intercollegiate balloon
race will be entered by fifteen of the
largest universities in the country in
Guiding Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth
and others. Most of these schools will
be represented from the east, where
aerial navigation has taken the coun-
try by storm.
Good Ad for Washburn.
Washburn college of Topeka is by
far the smallest school in the entry
list. But Washburn will be repre-
scented by the most famous balloon
in the list and by one of the well
known pilots. Frank M. Jacobs, of
this city.
1t will be the biggest advertising
feature in the history of Washburn.
The intercollegiate races have been
heralded in all the newspapers of the
country. Already interest in the col
lege event is running high and the I'M
iversities in the east are talking of
nothing else.
The accounts of the race will be
handled by all the news services and
will be a big advertiser ent for Topeka
as we'll as for Washburn.
If the executive committee of the col
lege trustees fails to take action on the
matter it is only a question of few days
until the students of Washburn will raise
the necessary amount to cover the eN-
penses of the trip. Since Topeka has
been so interested in air flights through
the enthusiasm of the Western Aero as
sociation the microbe has been busy all
over Kansas and Washburn students are
interested in the art of flying.
Dean McEachron of the college has
promised to take up the matter with ths
executive committee next week Their
decision will be awaited with anxiety by
the students. The Western Aero associa-
ton will take action to send Washburn 5
entrance to the national intercollegiate
association at once.
