TRUE DISCOyFRFR
OF SOUTH POLE

History presents from time to time
some curious anomalies, and not least
among these is the story of the orig.
inal discovery of the great continent
surrounding the south pole. A grim.
inaccessible coast, garded from mans
approach by fields Of impossible ice
floes and bergs, it resists all efforts
of the ablest of early explorers to win
its shores-only to be discovered at
last by a boy of Is in of a
little forty-ton sloop.
Nathaniel Palmer was the lads
name and he came of the best of old
New England seafaring stock, After
some preliminary training at sea,
Palmer sailed in 1912 or 1914 as sec.
ond mate of a bark bound for the seal
ing grounds of the South Atlantic. At
ter some weeks of fruitless exploration
and terrific struggles with the wintry
gales of the region about Cape Horn,
they came at Last to the South Shet.

This voyage made such a stir in all
the New England seaport towns on
their return that before many years a
second expedition was fitted out, and

en- command of a little down east sloop
called the Hero, which was sent along
in consort with the larger vessel. This
~diminutive craft could hardly have
been more than sixty feet in length;
but she weathered successfully the
rigors of wind and sea. and arrived in
due course at her destination.
At this time nothing was known of
the existence of any land of continen-
tai extent within the Antarctic cir
cle-nor did Captain "Nat'' much
care whether there was such or not.
What he vas looking for was seals.
So when he came upon a long stretch
of eoastline facing to the north in the
vicinity of the sixteenth meridian
west of Greenwich he examined the
shore for possible rookeries, and, find
ing nothing but ice and ~penguins, sail
ed away to the northward.
A few days after this the little Hero
fell in with two tall ships of the Rus
sian navy under command of Bellings-
hansen. When young Palmer went on
board for lunch, at the commanders
invitation, and mentioned casually his
discovery of land to the southwark, he
must have been surprised, indeed, to
learn that that which he in his little
sloop had Numbered upon unsought.

TELLS STORY OFII
 B|G GAIN HERE
Wells-Fsrgo Business This Month Ahead of That of Year Ago, Despite Parcels Post

It vas a surprise to me. and t ought to be to tae public" said Man ager Mccoy of the Bisbee Wells. Far, go office yesterday in commenting oh tie fact that the business of his of ! fee had exceeded in the present m nt that Of December 1912.
 Competing with parcels post, which has undenisbly cut into express com pany business heavily throughout the country, it was not expected in the 3 sbee express office that they would be able to show for December of this year anything like the business handled last year. That the first. second and third weeks of December ran ahead of the same weeks in 1912 caused all hands in the office to take notice.
 But enc explanation is considered possible, and that explanation is a bg and positive sort of a boost for tle district, for it rests entirely ii the fact that there must be a great 6eal more business here. That Q very large percentage of business that Wells-Fargo handled last year went to the postoffice this year, is undeni .ab.y true. Had there been no gain in the general volume of business in the district this year over last, the Wells Fargo office would certainly have shown big loss in comparison oI figures. As it Is. there is certainty that big increase in business in the district has occurred in the last year
 It will be learned with general re gret in the district that Agent McCoy is leaving the Bisbee office or Wells Fargo today. His place will be taken tomorrow by H. T. Rupkey, of Tue sen. Mr. Mccoy will go to Yuma, tc bscome agent of the company there. During the time he has been 1T charge of the Bisbee office he has managed to win the confidence oi the public, to the decided advantage Of his company, and has greatly ,m proved the express service in the dis tTict. Ills successor will have no easy task in maintaining the standard tha' has been set in efficiency and the in proved feeling that has been brought toward the company.

 Senator Roden asked that the mat ter go over for two or three days un- til the matter could be looked up.
 Senator Bruner objected stating that he wanted the matter settled now He said that if the Copper River & North. western wanted its taxes remitted it should ask for it. The Seward Penin. sula road had done so and it was granted; the same was done for the Panama valley road and now the Sew ard Peninsula road was asking for it.
 Senator Willard said that he offered the admendment in order to get an expression from the Senate on its attitude toward capital that was seek ing to develop the country and that now it having served its purpose he would withdraw it. The s ubstitute was then passed.

Senate Memorial Calls
 Out Great Argument

The committee substitute for Senate Joint Memorial No. ?, by Bruner, acme up in the Senate this morning as the special order of the day. The substi' tute recommended that Congress pass an act for the relief of the Seward Peninsula Railroad, by rimitting the annual license tax of $1OO per mile.
 Senator Willard offered an amend. ment which would include all of the railroads in Alaska, stating that he was opposed to class legislation; that it would be unjust to remove the tax on one railroad that was operated at loss and retain it on another that was running at loss simply because one company was broke and the other rich. The Copper River road lost more in calamities every year than the earn ings amounted. He was speaking for the roads of his division. The country could not develop without capital and capital would not be available if sub- iected to unjust and burdensome taxes.
 Senator Tanner strongly opposed the amendment because it would relieve the White Pass & Yukon from paying tax on it's IS miles of track. This line he said was paying a large dividend; that it was a monopoly and he was not in favor of robbing the indigent fund to allow this company to keep that portion of it's extorition money now paid back in taxes. He read from report showing that $1,2OO per car load was charged for haul of 60 miles.
 Senator Breeding spoke against the amendment stating that the Seward Peninsula road was not turning a wheel because of this tax and that 1t never could operate until the tax was removed; that there would be no pro- fit in operating even with the tax re- moved but that it was necessary to the prospector to have the road op- crate in order to develop the country
 Senator Sutherland did not think that the amendment should pass. The substitute as offered was measure to help restore an abandoned railroad to a condition where it would be avail able to the prospectors, He did not think the Legislature should ask that the tax be removed from the road of a rich company that was able tC pay,
 Willard replied to Tanner by sug- gesting that the government might levy on the earnings of a railroad,
 President Ray called Senator Tripp to the chair and addressed the body Senator Ray sai dthat the Third Divis- ion had more railroad mileage than all the balance of Alaska and that not one of the roads could possibly pay expenses: that the license tax exacted by the government came directly out of the pockets of the prospectors who were attempting to develop the coun' try; that the interstate commerce com mission would not take steps to re-

"We must adopt an up-to-date fire alarm system at once" said J. C. Nc Bride this morning. "or some day a fire will get such headway before it is located that the entire town will be seriously menaced.
 The other day the boys dragged a hose cart up Chicken ridge looking for a blaze and then had ,o run down and drag the apparatus through the mud before the fire was located and by the time they had reached the fire they were not fit for work
 We also want a new municipal building" continued Mir. Mcbride. "one that will do for a city hall or council chamber. city Jail. house the fire ap- paratus and have living rooms for some of the fremen on the second floor It can be built on the city lot.
 "We must not stop with this" he said. but We should immediately start the nucleus of a paid department by employing two men who will devote all their attention to the business Of fighting fire and guarding against it.
 We must be sure and establish the salt water system of mains, espec- ially in the downtown sections. And We should greatly increase the fresh water system so it will be more ef- ficient in all parts of the city. Juneau is destined to double her population in the next few months and the facil- ities at hand under present conditions are not too good.
