 Recently another explorer. Chris sian Laden, has accomplished some Uni for the Dominion of Canada by hls work, in which service Stefa1s- son Is also enlisted. He has traversed the great waste in the extreme north west Of Canada, beyond Hudson hay, and believes that gold and oil deposits exist thpre. He found native with gold tipped harpoon and another who had gold nuggets for his rife. From many natives Lede1 had news of both oil and gold farther north.
 The explorations of both Stefans- son and i.eleu gre likely to be of the geeatest material importance. Their work, though separately undertaken. IS pointing to the same ultimate treasure house Perhaps the next great stamp,de will be over trails more difficult and remote than any thus far l,coIded

Arctic explorers come and go. Most
 Of them deny that they are searching for fame. They affim that they want to benef. the world by such scientific discoveries as they may make. few frankly acknowledge that they are looking for new lands. rich minerals and material benefits. Whatever may be the professedf aim of the explorer they seldom in the past have been ahle to foresee the great results that would follow their trail blazing and so it Is likely to be with the Arctic travellers of our own day.
 Recent reports rom various Arctic explorations promise more in practical results than the work of many of the frostbitten explorers of recent years. S'afaasson has discovered a new land north of Mackenzie bay. and there Is rumor of mineral wealth in sight. He has already spent two years In that

GOOD ROADS MEETING.
Modern Methods in Construction OF
Highways Shown in Pictures.

Modern Methods in Construction OF
Highways Shown in Pictures.
One of the most instructive eXhiol-
lions Of good road making was given
at the Marehalltown Club rooms Tues
day evening, when moving pictures on
the process of road making were shown
to about seventy-fve members OF the
club. The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the motor trades bureau or
the club.
The pictures were the best that have
been shown at the club in any OF the
Illustrated talks, and were heartily
appreciated by the club members The
process Of building good roads from
bad thoroughfares was shown, the pro-
cess being followed closely in the pic
lures from the mud roads, impossible
for motor and horse drawn vehicles,
thru the various stages Of construction,
to the completed modern roadway. =
Pictures were shown Of the old meth
DDS Of road construction, with hand Ia
Dor, the application Of the pick ak
and the smoothing out process with
the Sold fashioned drag. In contrast
to these old-fashioned means Of i'm
proyement were shown pictures of
modern builders at labor, employing
dynamite to eliminate bad road sec
tons, use aof road machinery and the
final stages OF perfecting the ideal
road, with the laying Of concrete and
asphalt
There was much in the pictures
which was new to the majority Of the
members present, and many expressed
the belief that opinions were changed
as to good road propaganda because Of
the highly Institutional value Of the
pictures. a#..y
