OLD INHALER WILL GO TO THE ARCTIC TO SEARCH
 FOR FRANKLlN's TOMB

According to San Francisco advic- es. the old whaling schooner Oscar & Hattie. now laid up in the East waterway. where she is submerged at high tide. will be repaired and out. Sir John Franklin. Captain Bayne her owner for an expedition into the Arctic in search of the tomb of Sir John Franklin. Captain Bayne will head the expedition and will be accompanied by his bride whom he led 10 the altar last month in San Francisco.
 The Oscar & Hattie has been laid up near the shipbuilding yards of Ward & Sons in the East Waterway for the last two years. She is a 125-foot vessel with two masts In former days she belonged Co the Arctic Whaling fleet She has oak planking and was a sturdy vessel in her day. but the Seattle waterfront for the last year has regarded her as headed for the junk heap With couple of months work however, she can be placed in good condition.
 Captain Bayne is a veteran North Pacific and Arctic navigator He is now past the Biblical limit of three score years and ten., but is in vigor- ous health and ready for another ex- petition into the frozen ocean.
 Franklin Died in fs47
 Sir John Franklin died in the Arc tic in 1Si7 after six years work as the head of a party of scientists. He had explored regions unknown even to the Eskimos. Captain Bayne was a member of the Hall expedl. tion which searched for Franklln's tomb in the Arctic m 1869. In the late 9O's Bayne headed another ex- petition in search of the tomb. On that venture. he says. he learned from the Eskimos the approximate location of Franklin's last resting place. The records of Franklin's scientific observations are believed to be hidden in the tomb and the primary object of Bayne's proposed expedition is Go recover the records.
 Mrs. Bayne. who formerly was Mrs. Stella D. G. Davis, widow of an old.tlme resident of San Francisco, is enthusiastic over the expedition into the Arctic. She declares that she wants the title of second mate on the schooner.
 Pm a good walker" she said re- gently at her home in San Francisco, land l know l can drive dog team. T like dogs anyway. Captain Bayne is picking his men from whaling vessels. They are all to be Arctic veterans. We will bring home Frank lin's records. They will be of ines timable value to science and that will be our reward"
 Captain Bayne expects to come to Seattle the latter part of this month While more than 70 years old, he wants to engage in one more Arctic venture before settling down.

No Reform School.

Because of meagre attendance a
the Wednesday morning session o
the Senate the juvenile reform schoo
authorized at this session of the leg
! lslature cannot be built unless the
Governor sees fit to take action with
out legislative sanction.
An item of $4,000 for this much
needed institution was included in the
omnibus bond bill, but no enabling
act had been passed, and on Wednes-
/ day, Mr.. Wilmington introduced a bill
authorizing the expenditure OF the ap-
preparation in that sum. Only twenty
one members voted in the affirmative,
less than thirty senator's being in the
chamber, and it requires - votes to
carry an appropriation bill. The meas
ure was thereafter allowed TO die up
en- the calendar.
There will be no new hospitals built
this year for similar reason. Bills
had passed both houses authorizing
the establishment of charity hospitals
in Tupelo and Laurel, but the house
struck the two items, 5000 each,
from the omnibus bond bill, and it vii!
