AMUNDSEN
HAD LIGHT AUDIENCE
His Lecture, However, Was Profoundly
Interesting and Was Most In
terestingly Told

This is the way Captain Road
Amundsen tells how to discover the
south pole:
Observations can no longer be taken |
when you arrive at point distant
about four miles from the mathematical
pole. This is because the longitudinal
lines all run together. From this point
you march straight ahead until You ar.
rive at the first point where Observa.
tions can be taken. Then march back
half the length of this last distance,
There you have the south pole. All
you have to do then is to stick the flag
of your country in a hummock Of ice
and 90 back home. You have discov-
cred the pole, "
It was only handful of people who
listened to the lecture Of the great Nor
wegian last night. But the lecture was
worthy as large an audience as ever
gathered in Salem on any occasion.

Whitman, Who Complained of

That the United States government is
not the only concern which makes haste
slowly and uses a plentiful supply OF

Whitman s present place of residence
is unknown and the railroad commits

Gated. He is 81 years old, and was last
seen by the railroad commission in l9l2
In 1909 Whitman made complaint to
the commission that he had shipped
from Jefferson, Ore, to New Sharon,
Ia, his household goods, but, deciding
not to remove to Iowa, had them ship
ped hack before they were taken from
the New Sharon station. He complained
that an overcharge Of So had been
made, as there were 43O pounds in the
shipment going east and $50 pounds re-
turning, although nothing had been
added.
In September, 1912, Whitman re,
Ceived a rebate of $3.50, but in OctOb.

found that the railroad still owed 1896,
