BRAVE DEATH TO
CROSS greenland
DANISH EXPLORERS LOSE Pom
les AND MoToRRoAT--
.:.- EAT PET DOG.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug 16.-
The story told by Captain Koch, the
Danish explorer, of the crossing of
Greenland in company with three
hardy companions shows the dangers
and hardships to be encountered on
the great inland ice field.
The Danish leader and his three
companions, DR.. Wagener, a German,
Larsen, sailor, and Sigurdson, a ma
tive Of Iceland, were reduced during
their journey to eating a pet dog, the
only animal left.
Ponies and Boat Vanish.
After landing from their ship on
July "a, 1912, the first mishap encoun-
tered was the loss of several ponies.
Soon afterward their motor boat dis
appeared through the thin ice and the
explorers were obliged to wait until
nearly the end Of September before the
ice was sufficiently thick to carry their
sledges and horses. When they were
ready to start, DR.. Wagener fell and
broke a rib. ~,
They established winter quarters
near Queen Louise Land Oct. 12. The
scarcity of food there necessitated the
slaughter of all the ponies except five.
During a sledging trip Captain Koch
fell forty feet into a crevasse, breaking
his right leg, which kept him helpless
throughout the winter. April 20 this
year the four men broke camp and
with five sleighs drawn by ponies
started on their 570-mile march to the
west coast
Billiards Rage for Forty Days.
During the first forty days violent
blizzards ragged. The ponies became
snowblind and so exhausted that three
had to be killed. Later the suns rays
tormented the travellers and burned
the skin from their faces
Snowshoes were fitted to the feet of
the two remaining ponies and proved
of wonderful assistance to them. It
was found necessary to kill another
pony July II this year because the
fodder had given out. The next day
the last pony was killed. A few miles
further on splendid pasturage was
found e
The rations of Captain Koch and his
companions had been gradually reduc-
ed and July .13 their provisions @were
finished. r. ~ Y

coast, but they were so exhausted they
were scarcely able to move. Finally
them for about 500 miles was killed
and eaten. The meal was hardly fin
ished when the explorers sighted a
sailing boat in ford to the east or
Proeven on the west coast of Green
land. They attracted the attention of
the vessel and Pastor Chemnitz on the
ship soon had the famished and worn

SPEED TRAP ILLEGAL
Unfair Scheme to Take Advantage of
Motorist is Often
Illegal.

There is probably nothing in the
regulation Of motor cars that fills the
motorist with a burning desire to
throw bombs more thoroughly than
the common variety of speed trap
This legal anomaly depends for it's
usefulness on a method of operation
that is an obvious reflection on it's
righteousness. To post police officials
on highway, the speed restrictions
Of which could be known only to a
clairvoyant, and then arrest and fine
the infringer of an unknown speed
limit, partakes of the nature of Bastile
Jurisprudence. Merely because an
action or institution is within the pre-
cepts of the written law, doesn't make
any the less crime against the higher
right. witness Wall street. the oil trust
and dozens of other iniquitous institu-
tions. The conventional speed trap is
certainly one of these legalized crimes
and it Is doubtful if, in most cases, it
even falls within the protection Of the
written law. For instance, the New
York state law in relation to local
speed restrictions. says:
And on further condition that each
city or village shall have placed con-
spicuously on each main public high
way where the city or village line
crosses the same and on every main
highway where the rate of speed
changes, signs Of sufficient size to be
easily readable by a person using the
highway, bearing the words, city OF,

HORSES SUCCUMB
TO SUNSTROKE
LOCAL VETERINARIANS REPORT
MANY LOSSES OF HORSES ON
CLAY COUNTY FARMS DURING
RECENT TORRID WEATHER.

Today DR.. Fulton, veterinarian, re-
ported over thirty-six cases of sun
stroke among horses on the farms
within short distances of Moorhead, a
number Of them fatal. The doctor said
that the weather this week, especially
Wednesday and Thursday, was very
fields, and he has been kept on the
jump night and day answering call for
assistance. Yesterday he did not ex-
pect much trouble, but over a score
of cases were reported, one farmer lost
three animals and another man lost
two in fact there have been many
fatalities in different directions, but
names of owners are not known.
The doctor said that the suffering
was mostly among the horses which
attached to binder, for instance, they
having to combat the heat from the
bodies of the outside horses. This
point is overlooked on many of the
farms, also among the drivers there is
Woeful lack of the exercise of judg
ment.
A Moorhead business man was out in
the country this morning and cites an
instance of farmer who did not turn
his men and teams out until after 8
o clock. On farms where horseflesh is
valued work begins as soon after day
as possible and then there is pulling
in early in the forenoon for a few
hours rest for men and animals. Wis
itors in the country, tributary to Haw-
ley yesterday say that it was heart
rending to see the free use of the whip
over the hard working horses backs,
the poor animals being pushed along
to the highest pressure despite the ter
rife heat and dust, the drivers who
were welding the cruel lashes sitting
on a comfortable seat with no harder
work to do than drive the horses.

RAIDS POKER
GAME At LAMOURE

La Moure, N. D., Aug. 16.-On
Wednesday night, very quietly and
carefully like a wolf upon the fold,''
States Attorney Murfin and Sheriff
Crist' acting upon secret advices, be-
fore the patrons were aware of their
presence, quickly entered the rooms
in the basement Of the brick block at
Berlin and surprised the proprietor of
the supposed restaurant and several
patrons merrily engaged in the ever
fascinating game of poker. The raid
was skilfully executed; the evidence
was completely exposed TO the salts
faction of the representatives. of the
law. The proprietor, Aniton Johnson,
was, immediately arrested upon the
charge of running a gambling house
and was brought to La Moure and
lodged in the, county Jail.
Thursday morning he was brought
before Judge Wilbert where he waived
county court. Saturday morning he
was brought before Judge Lynch
where he. entered a plea of guilty. He
was sentenced to twenty days in the
county Jail and fine of $50 and costs.
In default of payment Of this he was
given an additional Jail sentence of
five days.
Under the new law for such cases
made and provided, Judge Coffey is
sued temporary injunction Satur-
day closing the basement Of the build
ing as a common nuisance. 1t is per
haps the first place Of the kind in
the state to be closed under the new

ENJOY EUROPEAN TRIP
MIR. and Mrs. orbom Had Delightful
Time in Old Country. Pros
perity Evident.

Mr. and Mrs. y. Orbom have re-
turned from a tour to Europe where
they enjoyed a delightful time for
several months. They visited Eng
land, Denmark, Norway. Sweden and
Germany, and made stops at French
ports, Mr.. Orbom states that Europe
is more prosperous than it used to
be. Higher wages are being paid and
there is a higher standard of living,
but living cost is also higher.
One of the most delightful features
of their trip was a visit to the
scenic section of North Sweden. The
mountain granduer gave them the
most thrilling sights of the trip. Great
paper mills to manufacture paper
pulp have been established in
north Sweden, making that section a.
beehive of industry.
On the way over, off the New
Foundland banks, a school OF whales
was encountered, and the passengers
on the Oceanic greatly enjoyed watch
ing the great mammals. They were
young whales, but there were hun
dreds of them. There also was a mann
moth shark, which swan slowly by the
vessel, paying not the slightest heed
to it. ST.

THE SEARCH FOR NEW FUELS

Among the recent incidents in the
search for new fuels is the announce
ment of a discovery of a new fuel call
ed parol-by two men in Johannes
burg, South Africa. Parol is said to be
made from kerosene by a chemical
process and without the use of heat.
Tanks, pumps and mixers are the only
accessories required for its prepara-
ton. Parol will cost about SO per cent
more than kerosene and rs per cent
less than gasoline. In a test with a
Ford car carrying five passengers,
thirty six miles over exceptionally. hill
ly roads were covered in one hour and
forty minutes. Seventy two miles were
completed on two and two-thirds gal
Ions, or about twenty seven miles to-
the gallon.
Cheaper Fuels in Testing.
One of the first results of the inves7
tigation that the National Association
of Automobile Manufacturers is max
ing is the suggestion that manufac-
turers employ cheaper fuels in testing.
1t is expected that this innovation will
save upwards of 100000 gallons Of
gasoline within the next twelve
months, or saving of $1,750,0O0 to the
industry.
The preliminary canvass of the work
to be done in the investigation inaug-
urated by the national association
shows that the research will have to
be conducted on a rather more elabor-
ate basis than seemed to be necessary
at first: therefore necessitating.
provision for the necessary
laboratory facilities and other
preliminaries. "The problem Of
securing an abundance of good
fuel for automobiles at a low price,

say our whole future as an industry
depends upon it, That means in a word
that if the investigation is to be of any
value at all to the public as we'll as to
the industry, it must be very exhaust

Prize for Institute
A ripple of excitement has been rails
ed among those who are working on
the problem of fuel economy by the
statement that the international Associ-
alton of Recognized Automobile Clubs
has voted to offer a substantial prize
for substitute for gasoline, but the
club has yet to issue the exact infor-
nation as to the condition under which
the prize is to be competed for. The
principal clubs involved in this associ-
alton are practically those Of England,
France and Germany, and the pres
ident is Baron zuylen de Nyeyelt.
Many at Work.
A canvass Of the carburetor manu-
facturers asking for information rela-
tive to carburetors designed wholly for
the use Of kerosene reveals the fact
that a very large number Of carbu-
rotor manufacturers are at work on
this proposition and will soon place
kerosene carburetors on the market. A

BOY DROWNED
At GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks. N. D.. Aug. 16.-The
ow-moving, sleepy Red river, so
shallow in places that one can ford it.,
and narrowed in it's confines by
drouths in recent years, claimed a vic
tim in the person of little Ardell Swig-
gum, the 9-year- old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. A. SWiggum, of 702 Walnut
street yesterday afternoon at about
4: 80 o'clock, when the boy, in swim
ming with companions, was drowned
in deep hole about a mile south of
Lincoln park, and in the rear of the
Jensen dairy farm.
Companion Nearly browns.
The youth went down in plain view
of his companions and one of them.
Frank Tocent, aged 10 years, who went
to his rescue, nearly lost his life in an
effort to save his companion, being
grasped about the waist by the drown
ing youth and carried down with him.
TOcent, who could swim fairly well,
managed to reach the shore, but was
completely exhausted from his strug-
gle and lay PROSTATE on the grass for
sOme minutes, while his two compan- -
ions, Arthur Barnard and Roland Mel
son, ran to a farm house, some dis
tance from the scene, calling for help
The boys were unable to locate help
in the neighborhood and hurried to
the police station, where they inform
ed the officer in charge, Of the accident
Sheriff Benson at once detailed men to
conduct the search and it was contin-
ued until 10:30 last night, a gasoline
launch and graphing hooks being used
but without success. 1t was con-
tinued today and the river dynamited
in hopes of bringing the body to the
surface, as it is not believed it could
have been carried down stream far
ther than the bend. The river, which
has sluggish current in most locali-
ties, is fairly swift at the point below
the hole and the action of the water
may have carried the body down
stream.

few of the manufacturers are frankly
of the opinion that they do not be-
lieve kerosene toybe a coming fuel for
automobiles and so state that they, are
not expecting a RELIEF in that direc-
ton. go III
I'VE have spent a great deal Of time
and money experimenting with the
kerosene Carburetor," writes one but
we do not think that for the motors
now in use that a carburetor can be
made to adopt kerosene to work sue
cessfully. The number of fittings and
the class of fittings make them cost
more in some instances than the car
buretor. Kerosene will also smoke and
have an offensive smell; If you remove
the carbon from the kerosene it will
not explode; using water returns the
matter Of fittings and joints and in
the winter months more, trouble; if
kerosene should become commercially
adopted for automobiles, the. price will
be raised, SO what is the use? We find
the 70 per cent of good kerosene and
30 per cent of good gasoline which
strikes an average of $3.50 per 100
gallons, works well. We doubt that
kerosene alone will ever be- adopted
for automobiles unless some changes
are made in motors themselves"
The foregoing is typical of the atti-
tude taken by that class of carburetor
manufacturers who have not announc-,
ed themselves to be working on new
kerosene device. =
~. Uses "Half and Half".
The Air Friction Carburetor Co. of
Dayton, o., is marketing carburetor
which successfully uses half kerosene
and half gasoline when supplied with
warm air. The manufacturers state:
mo one case Of carbonization has been
reported. Starting is asy on this mix
ture (above zero). Two thirds to
three fourths kerosene is recommend
ed for stationary and machine motors
when gasoline is used to start motor.
We are shipping ESQ per day all over
the United States, Canada and other
countries" l !
# New carburetor. ,
A series of tests Of Ray Harroun's
Kerosene carburetor, concluding with
500-mile run on the Indianapolis
speedway, show an average of SO miles
per hour on s43 grade kerosene against
47.S miles per hour on so grade easo-
line. They show 22.2 miles per gallon
on 43 grade kerosene against 20 miles
per gallon on so grade gasoline. One
of the most important deductions from
the tabulations show a cost per ton
mile of $.0029 running on As grade
kerosene against $.0067 per ton mile
running on 60 grade gasoline. The
tests indicate that low grade fuel at,
10 cents per gallon may be used with
every convenience and even greater
fficiency than high priced gasoline.
Harroun has given up racing and for
the past two years has been engaged
in engineering work. The Ray Har-
roun Co., which he formed some time
ago for the manufacture Of carburet-.
ors, is equipped to supply the new de-

Now here is a plain statement of
