because Of its weight and the space 1t
would require. II Is thought confidently
that the Dominion government will in
stall the plants needed to give the ex-
plorers a means of keeping In touch
with the outside world. With that In
mind the authorities have been asked
to place stations at Dawson and other
points in the Yukon and Mackenzie
river districts. and II is considered prob
able that immediate steps will be taken
to have It done.
The establishment Of a base at Point
Baro and the immediate dispatch OF
two parties inland. one going south. the
other north, is the present plan OF Mr..
Stefansson. Whether the karluk Will
be sent back 20 Esquimalt with instruc-
tfons to proceed north next summer

of Bering sea and permitted to drift,
thus enabling the explorers to satisfy
themselves as TO peculiarities OF the
tides OF the Arctic, are questions not
yet decided.
Captain Bartlett said today the ex-
perience he gained In his Arctic travels
under Commodore Peary would be OF
value In the work OF the expedition now
under way.

er there has been" he added. He Is

the plan he originated for Arctic search

''Peary on his last hundred miles to

kimos. I'D to that point. and for sever
al hundred miles Of the way. I was the
pathfinder. With four Eskimos I kept
one days march ahead Of his party to
find the easier route. and blaze a trail
for him to follow. BY that means much
time was saved, as we travelled light
and were able to move more quickly
than his party. We picked out the
easiest and most feasible route. and at
the end Of our days march built an
igloo for shelter. This served Peary and
his party the next night.

Of which Ii history. 1t always will be a
source Of intense pride to me that was
with him on that voyage. and that /
had some small share in helping to
make his final dash the success which
his intrepidity and the perfection OF his
plans deserved.
"Of my next trip II Is not for me to
speak. I am proud to be selected to
command a vessel being sent out by the
Canadian government. and to be going
on an expedition commanded by such
good American and keen arctic ex-
plorer as Mr.. Stefansson.
"A happy disposition and an easy
temper are the chief requisites In an
explorer In either the arctic or antarc-
tic regions" concluded the captain.
"A rugged constitution Is needed. Of
course. but have known men OF aver

Food Commission
Raps Canned Soup

GRAND FORK, NJ D.. June g.
That most OF the canned goods labeled
as concentrated and condensed chicken
soup. offered to the public Of the United
States in small portions at high prices.
is not in reality chicken soup. but is
rice soup. Is the statement of the pure
food commission of North Dakota
after careful tests and analysis.
Prof. z. F. Ladd, head OF the depart
ment. contends that soups containing
a great percentage Of boiled rice. and
labeled as chicken soup, violate both
the national and the State laws. The
average portion Of water In the several
brands analyzed by the North Dakota
pure food depar:me Is also extremely
high. being over half.
Striking comparisons of the food
values o- these so-called chicken soups
are made by Leon A. Congdon. who
makes the analysis. He says that 2s
cents work OF creamery butter, AT tn"
current prices. equals in food value
8, s worth of chicken soup. Continuing
his comparison, h. says 20 cents worth
Of beef equals In food value II cents
worth OF chicken soup: 20 cents worth
Of cheese equals in food value 81 cents
worth of chicken soup: Is cents worth
of eggs equal in food value is cents
worth Of chicken SOUP. while 10 cents
worth of bread equals In food value
75 cents worth OF chicken soup. Five
cents worth Of apples are equaied to
I6 cents worth of the SOUP.
In analyzing chicken soup as found on
the market the average OF the several
brands follows: Boiled rice. Ills per
cent; meat extract. 3:a per cent; meat
fibre. 81 per cent. salt. Is per cent:
water. 59.13 per cent;
In some instances beef was found; In
one case a piece Of chicken with an
abscess on Il was yielded.
