Nearly 5000 additional names were
placed on the extra assessment lists
throughout the city according to the
unofficial returns received to-day at
the county commissioners office and
while many of these, political lead
ers, figure are necessarily duplica-
tions, the result in general shows that
the number of voters eligible for reg
istration in the city this year is greater
than ever before.
The unusual number is due in a
measure to the excellent system of
precinct blocking which had been
mapped out by City Chairman H. F.
Owes and the city committeeman. An
other big boost of course. was the
fact that this is a presidential year.
The exact number of names on the
extra assessment list according 10 the
figures submitted to the county com
missioners is 3159. The Second ward
leads with 610. In the First ward

PLANS TO FLY TO
 THE NORTH POLE
ROald AmundsOn Arrives in New York to Buy Two Hydro Air planes-Will Also Buy Food Supplies For His Trip.

New York, Nov. 27.-Roald Amund- sen, discoverer of the south pole, is here to buy two hydroairplanes for use in his 1918 expedition into north polar regions, he said on his arrival today on the Danish steamer Freder- ick VIII from Copenhagen. The fly ing machines, he said, will be con- structed so as to travel over smooth ice as well as on water and will be used for interior explorations starting from the ship, which will carry his party. The vessel will be construct ed, he said, so that the planes can rise from and land on it's decks.
 The explorer added that another purpose of his visit here is to buy food supplies for his trip because pric- es in Europe are prohibitive.
 Amundsen said his ship will be ready for launching in March. He does not expect to get away before the following year. The start was originally planned for 1917, but was delayed on account of the war.
