captured make good their escape, still
it is known to have occurred without

things are not near as bad as are pic

OF SOUP
FOR AMUNDS0N
COMPANY WILL FURNISH SOUP
FOR CREW OF FIFTEEN MEN
FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 20-When
Captain Road Amundson sails for the
Arctic ocean on his seven year voyage
Of exploration and scientific observa.
tion he will carry with him on the
Gram" several tons of American
soup. the 1T Of an American manu-
facturer, made at the request of Con-
sui Bendeke of this city.
Mr.. Bendeke, as his acquaintance
know, has business which takes him
to Europe each summer. On one Of
these trips several years ago he made
the acquaintance of Len NJ. Frailey,
secretary and part owner Of the
Campbell Soup company Of Camdenl
N. The acquaintance thus formed
ripened into a warm friendship, and
the two men have seen good deal
of each other since that time. Some
little time ago Mr.. Bendeke said to
Mr.. Frailey that he intended to make
a requisition on him for lot of soup.
Mr.. Frailey said he could have all he
wanted, and asked how much. Ben.
deke replied that it was not for him
self, but for friend, and that he did
not know how much would be needed,
but it would be lot. He explained,
that he had in mind his friend, Cap.
tain Amundsen, who was about to
start on seven-years voyage in Arc
tic waters. Mr.. Frailey was game,
and said, "Find out how much he
wants and he can have it"
When Captain Amundson was in
Grand Forks few weeks ago he was
more than delighted to learn of the
respect for such an addition to his
stores, as he said that soup was one
of the very most desirable things en-
the bill of fare of Arctic travellers. He
said there would be fifteen men in
the party, and he hoped to carry soup
enoug hto supply soup rations for the
POI W Cu1S0 CIIiCo " WYNN IOA
the entire seven years. 1t looked like
large order, but Mr.. Bendeke for
warded the information, and yester-
day he received letter from Mr..
Frailey saying that the soup would
be furnished. He had computed that
soup for fifteen men three tires 4
week for seven years would require
4,095 cans, and that this quantity
would be provided, with enough in
addition to make sure that there
would be no shortage.
1t may be mentiond dthatCaptain
Amundsen has declined offers of soup
from several European manufacturers
because he feared that they would not
meet the very rigid requirements OF
his long voyage in the wintry latitude.
