Ore Shipping From Nome
(Nome Nugget)

NOME. Aug. 26.-The largest ship ment of gold ore to leave this section of Alaska will depart on the Victoria for the outside. The ore is from the quartz body found on the property of the Dakota-Alaska Company last fall and will constitute the first real com mercial shipment of gold ore from this district. Hundreds of sample ship ments have been made at intervals during the past year of the camps his tory but this will be the first real big thing in this line. About five hun dred sacks of the shipment are al ready on the dock and more will prob ably follow if the departure of the steamer is delayed. MT Cochrane re ports that no further attempts are be- ing made to sink on the property as it is rather hard to proceed with this class of development owing to the oth- CT operations interfering. The ore composing the present shipment is en- tirely from the surface.

Count Y Sheeps On
 Mountain West of Town
Steward Post

Steve Melchoir returned today from hunt over the mountain directly west of town and said that although he counted r white sheep within few miles of Seward he saw no ptar- migan and bagged only one grouse.
 The law protecting white sheep on this side of Kenai Peninsula has made them very tame and the flock has in creased rapidly in the past two years These sheep had been seen from Broadway from time to time and it is to be hoped that the sheep will make habit of grazing on this side of the mountain as the sight of Alas kan sheep from the main street Of the Terminal city will be suite a nov city for tourists.

Alaska Returns With Party Of Stefansson
 Arctic Expedition
(Nome Nugget)

(NOme NuESeCl
 NOME. Aug. 20.-After more than three years spent in the wilderness of the Arctic, the trim little schooner Alaska. one of the ships of the now world famous explorer, Vihljalmur Stefansson, dropped anchor in the harbor. shortly before five a. m. today bringing the first definite news of Explorer Stefansson and the new land he has discovered far to the north Of the shores of North America.
 Aboard the Alaska were the mem bers fo what has been designated, the southern branch of the exposition, which departed from Nome during the second week in July, 1913, en route to Herschel island and the Coronation Gulf region under the leadership of Dr. Rudolph NJ. Anderson, 8 noted ex- plorer and scientisrt.
 All of the little party returned with the exception of Daniel Blue, who perished from disease at Bailly island during the month of May, 1915. The bronzed and hardy looking crew aboard the Alaska are Dr. Rudolph M Anderson. explorer and scientist; j. J. O'Neill. geologist; John R. Cox surveyor; D. tennis, phrenologist; J. Johanssen, oceanographer; and ento- mologist; MT. Wilkins, photographer, and two others one of whom is the steward and the other the engineer
 The schooner is under command of Capt Sweeny. who joined the expedi- tion while 1t was in Arctic waters.
 pr. Anderson, the noted leader of the expedition was in the section be- fore having been associated with Stefansson during an earlyier trip of the explorer some years ago.
 According to the statements of those aboard the vessel, Stefansson will not return ociYilization during the present season but will continue his work of exploration on the newly discovered land north of Prince Pat rick Land. The last man of the par ty 10 see Stefansson was Mir. Wilkins, the official photographer of the ex- petition, who was one of those who departed from the i'll fated Karluk shortly before the vessel was carried away in the grip of the northern ice pack in the year of 1913 to be later crushed near Herald Island. MT. Will kins was with Stefansson last winter at Banks Land, having reioined the explorer last year. After spending some time with the Stefansson party Mr Wilkins made the trip to Coron- ation Gulf over the ice and rejoined the Anderson party where he remain ed until the present.
 The first winter after leaving Nome the Alaska party spent at Manning Point near Camden bay after having failed to find a passage through the heavy ice to the eastward. The fol lowing spring pr. Anderson proceeded 10 the east and reached Coronation Gulf during the summer of 1914.
 Quarters were established at Bern ard Harbor and became the base for the work of the expedition. The sum. mer and winter of 1915 were spent in various scientific labors in and around Coronation Gulf and the party de parted for Boring sea on the 18th day

of June of the present year. The pas sage southward was beset by no diff faculties. Although travelling in the track of the Teddy Bear and Chal- lenge the Anderson party saw nothing of those vessels.
 Mir. Wilkins learned from Stefans- son that the new land may be de scribed as second Greenland. Up to the time of leaving after his mem orable journey across the frozen polar sea with Storker Storkerson and Ole Anderson, who is now in Nome, Stef- ansson traced about two hundred miles of shore line on the new land and found high mountains.

TRUANTS ARE DEFECTIVE.
Their Blood Pressure Abnormal, Is Conclusion in New York In-
 vestigation.

The average public school truant is physical defective and has an ab- normal blood pressure, equal to that of a man of 25. This is the conclu- sion reached after a scientific study of so typical traunts in New York City.
 Only seven of the group were found free from physical drawbacks, which the investigators enumerate as fol- lows: Bad teeth, 73; poor vision, IT; defective nutrition, 21; trouble with their feet, 20; tobacco users, 60; al- cohol drinkers, 19. Those who did not breathe right made up 10 per cent of the so truants; enlarged tonsiis, 10 per cent; difficult hearing, ' per cent; heart ailment, per cent.
 As to the high blood pressure among the truants, this was verified by examinations of inmates at the Parental School. There the boys, on admission, almost uniformly show an abnormal pressure, which usually is reduced to the normal after two or three months stay in the institution.
 According to the school authorities, 49 per cent of the pupils have some thing the matter with their teeth.
 Truancy is due not only to physical defects, the investigators found, but is chargeable to poor digestion, crowded classes, improperly trained teachers, lack of special studies and classes and wrong home influences.

CANDIDATE HUGHES
 OPPOSES FiLIBUSTER
Explains Why He Did Not Seek to Stop Passage of AdamsOn Bill-Quotes Extract From Presidents Address.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y, Sept 28 Charles E. Hughes tonight told the Republican unofficial state convention here why he had not urged Republ- can senators to filibuster "to the last ditch" against the passage of the Adamson eight-hour law passed to avert the threatened railroad strike He said he does not believe in filibus- tering for one thing, and that if the majority in Congress had determined to pass the bill there was no reason why its passage should have been da- layed by filibustering tactics.
 "The administration acted with swiftness," Mir Hughes said, land it cannot now cry that a Republican can didate, who was miles away, should have saved it from carrying out it's fixed determination"
 Brings in Correspondence.
 He read correspondence between Chairman Newlands of the Senate In- terstate Commerce Commission, Harry A. Wheeler, chairman of the Commit tee on Railroad Situation of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and President Wilson-none of the letters was from the president, but he was addressed in the cores pondence-to uphold his contention that 5000 firms or corporations had asked the president to take action be- fore the threatened strike situation became acute. MT. Hughes also quot ed an extract from the presidents ad- dress to Congress on the subject to support his assertion that the bill should not have been passed.
 A question asked by Richard Olney, secretary of state under President Cleveland, as to why Mir. Hughes had not urged Republican senators to tili- buster against the bill was made the occasion of MT Hughes declaration.

MARKET RLCOVERS
 ITS EARLY LOSSES
Rally Offsets Decline at Start,
 and Close is 2 Lower to 2 Up Houses With Liverpool Con-
 nectiOns Were Active Buyers.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The cotton market was quiet again today, but an opening decline was followed by ral- lies and the close was steady, net ? points lower to 2 points higher. Jan uary contracts advanced from 16.08c to 16.1Sc and closed at 16.13c.
 Easier Liverpool cables and less bullish private condition figures seem ed to account for the early selling. The market opened barely steady at decline of to 14 points, with De cember contracts touching 16c and March 16.24c during the first few minutes, or just about even with the low level of yesterday Houses with Liverpool connections were quite act i've buyers, supposedly to cover strad- dies, however, while there was also a good demand from Wall street and trading sources.
 This absorbed the early offerings and the tone soon turned steadier on apprehension that the low tempera- lures reported in the Northwest might be followed by a frost scare, while there may also have been some cover ing, owing to the failure of Southern selling to assume more important proportions. At any rate the market rallied, with active months selling about to 5 points net higher before the end of the morning.
 Trading then became less active. The official Western belt forecast was for frost in the Panhandle and some northern sections of Oklahoma, but suggested warmer weather tomorrow which was probably considered re- assuring and may have tended to check fresh buying.
 The market closed steady.

 cuss Prohibition.

Texarkana, Sept. 2S,-An audience of 800, including many women and preachers. heard Ben L. Griffin and J. L. Wadley in joint debate on pro- posed Amendment No. at the court house tonight.
 Mir. Griffin disclaimed that he was a champion of liquor, but declared he would fight for the peoples right to rule. He criticised the legislature which passed the statewide prohibi- ton law, saying the people were en- titled to a hearing on the matter. He predicted that Amendment No. , would win in the November election.
 Mir. Wadley gave figures that pro hbition has helped business and de- creased crime, and defended the state wide law. Both speakers were liber- ally apprauded.

COMPLAINTS OF
 CAR SHORTAGE
Come Principally From Small
 Lumber TOwns-COmmission- CT Mcknight Says Reason is the Slow Movement of Freight

Little Rock, Sept. 29.-Railroai Commissioner Mcknight says that he is receiving complaints of car short age from various points, especially from lumber towns on short line roads. Complaints were received yesterday from Manning in Dallas county, and Norphlet in Union county.
 "One of the chief causes of the car shortage" said MT. Mcknight, "is the slow movement of freight. The aver age movement now is about 36 miles in 24 hours, which is a considerable improvement over what is was several years ago. There was a time when the average was less than ten miles day. This trouble was slightly rec tifed by the passage of the Barker reciprocal demurrage bill in 1907, re- quiring a daily movement of fifty miles, and penalizing the road for less than that. Some penalties were col lected under it, but now the law is practically ignored and has become a dead letter. There would be plenty of cars if they were moved promptly. '

MELON CROP VALUABLE,
S95,000 of Cantaloupes and $S,OO0 of
 Watermelons Raised Along Road.

More than $100,000 worth of canta- loupes were raised along the Prescott & Northwestern railroad the past season, according to o. II. Helbig, vice president and traffic manager of the railroad.
 "The past season was one of the best ever enjoyed by the farmers" MT. Helbig said. Although the crop was short the price was good The variety of melons raised here is the Rocky Ford and they bring 30 cents more a crate than the same canta- toupes from Arizona and California
 "There were 1925 acres in canta- loupes along our lines. Three hundred and six cars were shipped or 101, ITO crates. The total received by the growers was S94,25717, an average of 92 cents a crate. The average re- turn per acre was $60.72. Three acres at different points netted the owners $312.52 each.
 There were 150 acres in watermel- ons along our road. The number shipped was 73,232, or 1,693,349 pounds, with an average number of pounds per acre of 11,224, and the average number of melons per acre of 4S8. The total amount received was $8,671.20, an average of 52 cents pound; net profit per acre $58,36. The average weight per melon was 23 pounds. Seventy cars of watermelons were shipped.
 The drouth of July and August re- duced the cantaloupe crop by 100 cars, but the high price made up for the loss. Many new farmers are coming in this section and the old ones are in- creasing their acreage in the fruit. "

 May, 1901 and 1902, both began hot and the readings continued high for six days. They reached 92 on the 1st and 2d in 1901, and 93 on the Sd, 1902, so the present read ings are not record-breaking.
