Valuable EXPLORATION.

Capt. Joseph Il. Bernier, polar ex.
plorer in the Service of the Canadian
government for a number of years,
recently returned from cruise OF
more than 1000 miles through the
Arctic archipelago, during which he
placed many new islands, bays and
promontories on the map. During his
exploration work he has charted over
100000 square miles of islands in the
far North, and has discovered many
records of Arctic expeditions. He
has been commissioned to establish a
force OF the mounted police I'm Hudson
bay and to take possession of the Arc
tic archipelago between the region of
141 degrees west OF 90 degrees west
and all the adjacent islands as far as
80 degrees north latitude. Captain
Bernier's great ambition is to journey
to the North pole, an undertaking
which he believes he can accomplish
with no great difficulty when the op-
perfume time arrives.

CHICAGO MIAMI MOTOR ROAD
Details Of Work In Various Localities
Progress Made In Construction
Is Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway is a road
that has appealed to the people both
North and South OF the Mason and
Dixon line is evidenced by a report
from the offices of the Dixie highway
association, located at Chattanooga,
TO the effect that fifty counties alone
have spent more than $1.765, 200 on the
Chicago-Miami motor thoroughfare in
the last six months and are preparing
to spend $6,931. 900 during the coming
year. writes j. G. Burton In Chicago
Daily News.
AS the fifty counties reporting to
the association represent less than a
third OF the total counties that are
crossed by the road that links North
and South, it would not be unreason-
able to estimate that approximately
$6,SOO,O00 has been expended on the
Dixie highway to date and that $780,
$4,000 will be used TO put the thor
oughfare in shape in 1916.
When it is considered that the
Dixie highway was routed only eight
months ago. the progress made in its
construction is remarkable. The large
mileage of permanent roads built or
under contract is an indication of the
wonderful advancement made in such
a short time. The fifty counties re-
ferred to report that nearly one-tenth
of the distance either is paved or will
be paved before another year rolls
around. Using only a multiple OF two
to represent the other 1I2 counties,
it can be seen that a good part OF the
road is or will be of permanent tyIp
of construction.
The preparations being made for
even greater progress along this line
are highly gratifying to the officials OF
the Dixie highway association. Sew
eral divisions of the thoroughfare are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch, the most notable OF these be-
ing the links from Chicago to Danville,
ILL.,, from Toledo to Cincinnati, o.,
from Jacksonville to Miami, Fla, and
from Tallahassee to Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that in
seven out OF the eighteen counties of
Kentucky there has been expended
$4,000. In Ohio, eight counties OUT
of twelve and exclusive OF Hamilton
county, OF which Cincinnati is the
county seat, have spent $33S 600 Five
counties out of twenty-five in Florida
spent $6O1,0OO on the Dixie highway
