was the first direct news Of the ex-

news Of the explorer and his two
companions had been received since
their supporting party turned back
April a. 1914. from Camp Separation
on the north coast Of Alaska.
At that time he expected to reach
Banks land on the drifting ice but
the strong current from the McKen-
zie river drove the ice to the west
ward. This drift, It was hoped by
Stefannson's friends. would carry
the explorer and his companions to-
wards the Siberian coast.

estimates Indicate that the Chesa-
peakc and Ohio Hallway will dump
nearly 10000 tons of coal at Newport
News during the month OF June the
nSurcs being IN excess of the total
Tor May. which was better than any
month recently. The greatest trouble
which the coal-carryinE railroads are
experiencing on the Atlantic seaboa I'd
is in securing vessels to carry the
coal. The following quotation from the
Coal Trade Journal of June l6 pays
q high compliment TO the operation
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio's new coal
pier at Newport News:
While II Is difficult TO estimate at
this time what the dumpings for the
month OF June will amount to, it is
believed that they will be heavy, and
where the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way during May dumped something
over 100000 tons. il Ia believed with
the excellent time being made in load
Ing at this pier that for the month
OF June their tonnage should run near
the 40o.oo0-ton mark. Their record for
fast loading at Hampton Roads will
certainly be difficult to break"
