SUCCUMB TO
ANTARCTIC COLD
Capt. Scott and Companions
Victims Of Their Zeal.

London, Feb. 10.-Only meager
details are available yet Of the polar
tragedy which cost the lives of Capt.
Robert F. Scott and four Of his
brave comrades and which ranks
in disastrous results with the ill-fat-
ed Franklin expedition.
News of the death of Captain
Scott and his men, who succeeded
bv final dash in reaching the
s,uth pole, only to find proof that
Road Amundsen had forestalled
them, came in a brief message from
Lieut.. E. R. G. Evans of the royal
navy, who was second in command
when the expedition started, and
who now signs as commander
The message was signaled from
the steamer Terra Nova. returning
from the antarctic regions, while
passing Oamaru. New Zealand.
The effect on the public mind is
all the greater as it was believed
that modern science and recent ex
perience had completely divested po-
lar exploration of its former terrors.
No great surprise would have been
felt had Captain Scott failed to
reach the poles, but that he should
perish in his hour of triumph was
tie very last thing that could be
anticipated and in view of the ter
rible dangers which still exist, the
fate of Captain Scott and his COM
panions is likely to discourage fur
ther attempts to reach the poles
now that both have been attained
and the circumstances Of hurried
dashes prevent valuable scientific
results from being obtained.
No detailed facts are yet known,
but it is believed the records of SCI
entifc material collected. together
with the explorers bodies, have
been recovered.
1t is understood that gallant at
tempts were made hv other mem
bers of the expedition to succor the
Scott party, but these were defeated
by severe weather conditions and
lack of food. 1t seems practically
certain that the explorers starved

Mr.. O'Donnell Before Committee

Billings, Mont, Feb. 10.-I. D.
O'Donnell, one of the leading farmers
of eastern Montana, has just returned
from Washington where he appeared
before the ways and means commit
tee of the house of representatives
as a witness in the hearing on
sugar tariff. He presented some
striking facts in reference to the good
results which the sugar beet industry
has had in building up this part of
Montana and Northern Wyoming. In
cidentally he pointed out that, as the
success of the sugar beet growing in
the state has been demonstrated, all
the great valleys of Montana could
realize the same development that has
taken place here if the sugar beet in
dustry continues to receive encourage
ment. through tariff sufficient TO
equalize the higher cost of beet grow
ing in the United States
He divided the development of farm
ing into four periods, the last begin
nng in 1906 when with the growing Of
beets a new era in agricultural devel-
opment-that of diversified farming
began, and made possible the success
of the small farmers.
The raising of sugar beets,' he
said, "Has made four blades of grass
grow where one grew before in other
words 40 acres are now producing al
much, or more, than l60 acres under
the old regime"
He pointed out that beet culture
incalculates crop rotation and increas
es the yield of all other farm products
and cited his own experience whert

DR.. Enrich Marshall, who was sur.
geon to the Shackieton expedition,
suggests that the Scott,party in the
terrible blizzardT may have missed
oneof the supply depots. which are
generally marked by an upturned
sledge with affag lashed to it. The
fact that Captain Amundsen reach
ed his base from the pole in 38 days
while Scott had been travelling more
than two months when disaster
overlook them, is believed to show
that Scott must have met with
some misfortune.
The fact also that Petty Officer
Evans died from conclusion of 'he
brain as early as Feb. II seems to in
dicate some accident. possibly in
volving the loss of a portion of
the equipment.
Captain Gates died on March II,
which clearly shows that the party
must have been in dire straits and
must have undergone terrible suf
fering during the remaining days.
No news has been received as to
how the fate of Captain Scott and
his companions was discovered. but
it is assumed that a rescue party
was dispatched from the base.
Further information reaching the
Royal Geographical society says
that the rescue party which left
Cape Evans late in October. reached
One Ton depot and found the pro-
visions in good order.
The party proceeded along the
southern route and came upon
Scott's tent on Nov. H.. Within lay
the bodies of Scott, Wilson and
Bowers.
Captain Scott's little son Peter is
staying with his grandmother at
Henley. The news was broken to
him today.
In 1911 Mrs. Scott had cinemato-
graph pictures of Peter at play
made, and sent them out so his
father could see how the boy was
growing. 1t is not known whether
Captain Scott ever received them

Deserts Wife And Children, Tries
Suicide

"'Report regarding Robedee is cor
rect. His condition serious, but there
is chance for his recovery. Have
written full particulars.
This message was received early
this morning by Manager P. B. Nc
Intyre of the Rumely Products COM
pany from Mr.. Rumely, who has
charge of the branch office Of the COM
pany at Sioux Falls, S. D. It was in
response to an inquiry by Mr.. Mcln-
tyre regarding H. W. Robedee, for
merly a member of his force of trav-
cling statesmen, who with Marion
Erickson, a waitress from Glendive,
was found in what was believed to be
dying condition in a hotel in Sioux
Falls. According to their statements
they had attempted suicide by shooting
themselves with 80 caliber revolver
From the information received it is
apparent that Robedee was enamored
of the young woman, who reciprocated
his affections, for after the door to
their room in the hotel was forced open
the girl said she wanted to die as she
could not bear to 60 through life with
out him.
Robedee is "a years of age and his
family consists of his wife and five
children who reside at ZIG North Thir-
ty-frst street. 1t is understood that
he left Billings more than six weeks
ago.
Mr.. Mcintyre said this morning
tkat Robedee was employed as sales-
man for about two years. and that he
had no suspicion that he was not con-
Quoting himself properly until last fall.
He learned at that time, however,
and had talk with him with the re-
suit that his connections with the COM
pany were severed.
1t was reported that since leaving
the Rumely company Robedee has been
working for the Avery COM
pany out of Omaha, but the local
officials If that concern say that he
is not employed by that company.

Select Montana Site

San Diego, CAL, Feb, 7.-After
selecting one of the very best sites on
the grounds of the San Diego Exposi-
tion in 1915 for the Montana building,
H. H. Piggott, of Helena, G. A. Pet
erson, of Missoula, and Joseph Smith
II of Deer Lodge, returned to their
home state to report to tt governor
and the legislature their idea of the
scope and kind of exhibit Montana
should make here. They investigated
fully every detail of the exposition,
and were delighted Not only were
they greatly impressed by the oppor-
tunity for worth while state exploit
alton at the exposition, but San Die
go's future looked so bright that they
invested in realty here.
One all-sufficient reason why Mon
tana should install an exhibit at the
exposition here was given by Commits
siouer Peterson in three words: "Mon-
tana needs farmers. He pointed out
that the state now has population of
less than 400, 900, and has thousands of
acres of the finest sort of land lying
idle. Montana wheat won prize of
$4,000 as the best grown in the United
States, but he pointed out that the
state does not produce one-fifth the
butter consumed, although cattle rails.
ingis great industry.
Commissioner Peterson predicted
that irrigation systems in Montana
will be developed on a large scale,
and that dry farming there would add
immensely to wealth production in the
state. Demonstration of irrigation
methods will be prominent feature
of the San Diego Exposition. :
Commissioner Smith asserted that
while big things have been accomplish
ed in Montana, the possibilities of the
state have only been scratched, and
that with increased population wealth
production will he multiplied.
Commissioner Piggott fell in love
with San Diego's midwinter climate.
Somebody suggested that the day was
cold. "Cold?' he remarked. ''You
ought to visit Montana. This is sum-
mer.'
The site for the Montana building
and the exhibit chosen is high on a
plateau constituting the state promon-
tory, from which is had an unbroken
view of the city, hay, and ocean. 1t is
near the location for the Colorado state
building, and is one Of the most ac-
cessible and prominent on the grounds.
While in San Diego the Montana
commissioners were guests of exposi-
tion officials and prominent San Diego
citizens, every courtesy possible be-
ing shown them, the city's hospitality
being extended on every hand every
minute of their stay here.

instruction In ''Tractioneering

Billings, Mont Feb, lo.-The
transition in farming methods in Mon
tana was forcibly called to mind here
this week by the attendance of large
number of husbandmen at a school Of
traction engineering which was given
by one Of the large concerns which
handles power farming machinery.
An expert from an institution which
teaches "Tractioneering' lectured
daily to those who were in attendance
from Montana and Wyoming, cover
ing every phase of manipulation OF
gas engines, and the dismanteling and
assembling of their parts. He declared
that change of wonderful sort is
taking place, particularly throughout
the west, and that as the result OF
Improvement in traction machinery,
it will be but few years until horses
will not be used in farming on the
larger areas.

Diversion In Transit

While farm products are in transit
by rail, there are certain points at
which the consignor may designate q
final destination. The purpose OF this
practice is to enable the consignor to
find the best market for his goods.
This is the plan followed in shipping
fruits and vegetables by rail from
California to the East and from South
ern States to the North.

Mexico City, Feb. ia pitched
battle was fought today among the

great cities of the world between ad-

Cannon roared in the streets Of the
densely populated city and rifle bullets
spattered against the walls that housed
thousands of foreigners, as we'll as
countrymen of the combatants.
When darkness put/an end to the
