sen. u sailor. and Sigurhson. native
Of Iceland, were reduced during their
Journey to eating u pet dog. the only
animal left.
After landing on July ~, 1919. the
first miShap encountered was the loss
of some ponies. Soon after that their
motorboat disappeared through the
thin lee. and the explorers had to wait
until near the end of September before
the lee was thick enough to bear their
sledges and horses, When they were
ready to start Dr, Wagener fell and
broke n rib
The expedition was ten miles east of
Queen Louise Land oct ~ and went
into winter quarters
RecnnSc fodder was short all the
ponies were killed except five, which
were trained to eat the flesh of their
brothers.
During slcdgtng trip Captain Koch

his right leg. lie was helpless In the
hut throughout the winter In temper
ature generally 30 degrees below zero.
On April %. this year, the four men
broke camp and With five sleIghs. each
drawn by pony, started on their I5O
mile march To the west coast For
forty days bli2Zarls ragged The ponies
became snow blind and so exhausted
that three were killed
Then. with the night temperature

the skin from the mems faces until
they looked like raw beef
On July II they tried TO push on to
the coast which was now visible, but
they were so exhausted from hunger,
cold and wet they could scarcely move.
The only chance for life was to kill
the pet dog, which had tramped with
them about 800 miles This was done,
and the flesh was cooked and eaten.

Exceptionally Good.

FeatureS--ls at Depere This Week.

king Baxter the educated pony
which was exhibited by Professor Har
rison in his trained animal act at the
fair here last week. was pronounced by
all who witnessed it to he the most
wonderful pony act ever shown in this
section of the country,
The pony was pure white with black
markings and its trainer appeared to
be rs careful of the pony's appearance
rs he was of his own, Baxter" made
a beautiful appearance on the platform
in front Of the amphitheatre,
The act consisted of answering ques
tionS, choosing colors and numbers,
etc, which was very good, but his tin
ale was one which makes him recogniz
ed as ono of the greatest educated ponies
known,
Four figures of four columns each
which were given by different people in
the audience were placed upon black
board in full view of the spectators, and
without any apparent assistance the
pony added the figures up with the aid
of numbers placed promiscously upon n
rack, Each answer given was correct.
This feature alone was we'll worth the
admission fee.
In addition to this feature, Mr., Harri
son had six performing dogs and five
goats, each one presenting new trick
of some sort that was out of the ordi.
nary, One of the dogs and one of the
goats made high dives from separate
ladders, forty feet and thirty feet. re-
spectively.
The troupe gave great satisfaction Mt
each performance. Owing to the extra
long Jump they had to make to get
to their next engagement, Fridays pro
gram was carried out earlier than on
previous days. Harrison and his ami

BEACHEY MAKES
GOOD FLIGHTS

Wind and in SO Doing Forfeited The
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars as
Per His Contract.
The Great Beachey, with his six cyl
inder biplane, made four very success
full flights at the fair. two ON Wednes /.
day and two on Thursday. The flights
were all that could be desired and were
very interesting to ali who witnessed
them.
Owing to the direction of the wind on
Friday, 1t was impossible for Beachey
TO leave the field with his machine
without danger to spectators and him
self, and consequently no flight was
made that day. The large crowd that
was here expecting to see the biplaue
go up We're much disappointed in the
non appearance of Mr. Beachey, but
took it good naturedly when the reason
became known. According to his con
tract with the Association. Mr. Beach
ey forfeited two hundred and fifty dol
lars, which was the sum he would have
received had he made flight ON that
day,
Mr.. Beachey stated that the hills and
valleys in this section of the country
made it very hazardous flying, as the
ground currents We're much more
pronounced than where the country
was comparatively level. In order to
get away from these troublesome cur.
rents he had to fly at much greater
height than usual.
Both Mr. Beachey and his mechani.
clan, Mr., Lockwood, We're pleasant fel.
lows, and We're very courteous to the
crowds which collected about the plane
before and after each flight.
The Fair Association are to be con
graduated upon their success in pro
curing such conscientious and level
headed aviator. He fulfilled every re,
quirement and did not take any un-
necessary risks.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AIRDONTIl OPETIyC.

Every seat was taken at the AirdOme
Monday night for the seasons open
ing by the Albright Musical comedy
company. The theaLer presents the best
appearance IN Its history and is very
comfortable. The roof can be raised
and lowered 20 admit the air or keep
out the rain, and the walls thar were
built along the s1Ges during the winter
serve to keep out much OF the noise that
formerly annoyed the patrons. Boxes
that really have a splendid view of the
stage are pleasing feature Of the
summer theater.
The Albright company is composed
mostly Of people above the average
musical stock company in ability. but
the first vehicle selected TO entertain
the public was Disappointing 1t has
some comedy that IS GOOD and there
were many hearty laughs during The
evening, but there is considerable that

the credit OF the company that none
OF the sOcalled comedy is vulgar, a. It's
worst ~ IS lar above The Jim Lee
trash OF last year and the year before
at the AIrdOme. No resort has been
made 70 Vuigarlry TO try 10 get laugh.
Only one or TWO dams cropped out dur
ing the whole evening Manager J. Il
wright is by FAR the cIeverest man IN
the show. His Irish character work
was exceedingly good on the opening
night; ne has a real idea of humOr
and passes out jokes that are seldom
IN need OF the BARRIERS attention. He is
also a good singer and. assisted BIZ

also good warbIers, presents some Of
the best quartet work ii has been the
good fortune of FL PasOans TO hear IN
a long time.
Miss Ruth Albright is also very cIev-
er and sings sweetly- She has a charm
ing manner ami will no doubt make
good with FL rasOans; she certainly de-
serves a better vehicle than the one she
was forced to open in, and can no doubt
make good in it
Miss Elsie Spencer did a very clever
song number, DUt had no part in the
bill
All the members OF the cast appeared !
amply equal to their parts and more
they ought to be able to put on a good
musical comedy with success The chO-
rus is lively and welI rehearsed and the
girls exhibit some very pretty costumes

Fritz Fields, VINO appeared in but one
