NEWPORT

The supper given at the DDS
Fellows Hall by the ladies Of
Newport for the benefit of the
Red Cross fund was a very sue
cessfull affair. 1t was well pat
roniEed by the people of the city.
The receipts were $S0.00,-to be
used for the nenefit of the SOL
dier boys who have responded
to the call of their country and
are willing to dedicate their lives
that democracy may survive.
The weather continues fine
and the beaches are almost de-
serted The people have had
their outing and have gone
home for the schools and to do
up their fall work. Labor i.
scarce and there is great demand
In all parts Of the state for help
so NO one need be idle now. The
wages are extremely good.
A bunch of Oklahoma people
were at Newport during the
week and they had such good
time strolling on the beaches and
seeing the great ocean-a sight
they never saw before. They
said they had such a good time
that they would come back again
next summer. They were chap
ercned by Mr.. Jameson of Phil
OGaath.
The shipment Of fish this wear
Is mnch less than last year. Tn,
year rs tons of halibut, Is tons
Of salmon and ten tons of cod
and other fish were shipped ou,
Some eight or ten gasoline 1oats
were engaged in the business.
Halloween was duly observed
by the boys but no damage to
property was committed. i nings
were turned upsidedown and
placed in all kinds of ways so a
person would know the spooks
had been around. A number of
pumpkins were used-big eyes
and broad mouths with a candle
inside to make the spook look
hiaeous and grotesque. Horri-
BILE enough to make a tenderfoot
take TO the woods, which | un-
derstand some did. This holi-
day Gomez in the fall when the
crops are garnered in and
pa1apkin pies are numerous and
people gather at the diffenent
places of amusements to tip the
light fantastic toe, tell stories OF
the past and have a good social
time generally. People are to
selfish, too grasping after the al
mighty dollar. Let us live more
for the good of each other. Let
us bring by our actions, hope in
!steasi Of dispair, cheer in place
of grief and love instead of self.
ishnesss and greed.
The Mud Hen, the staunch

AMUNDSON HAS
 PLAN ID FLY
 IN FAR NORTH

Captaln Roland AmundSen, dISCOV- ercr of the South Pole and the first to sail through the ice locked laby- rinth of the Northwest Passage, while in Chicago few days ago, told of his plan to crown his career by an aero plane flight to the North Pole.
 Captain AmundSen plans to sail from Norway in June, 1918. He will skirt the Arctic coasts of Sweden, Russia and Siberia as far as the delta of the Lena river At a point north west of the New Siberian islands he will head into the ice pack With his ship frozen fast in the ice pack he will drift across the polar basin ana come out in the Atlantic ocean on the east coast of Greenland.
 The ship on which Captain Amund- sen will sail will be launched at Chris tiania in March. Its keel was laid last June. It will be 500 tons, three-masted schooner, equipped with an auxiliary oil motor of 2lO horse power It will carry a crew of ten men, two of whom will be Americans. The rest will be Norwegians.
 By heading into the ice several hundred miles east of where Nansen began his drift" said Captain Amuudseu, "I believe l win have stronger northward current and will be carried close to the pole, NanScn went into the pack too far west. He drifted to S5 degrees and then maoe his famous dash to S6 degrees 15 minutes, which was the highest north then. He foated clear of the ice in the north Atlantic between Spitz- bergen and Greenland, By starting my drift farther east, and about 72 degrees north latitude l believe l will reach SS degrees at least and possibly S9. If achieve the former latitude will be within l2O miles of the pole.
 'I expect to reach SS degrees after a drift of a year and half or two years. In that time l will have drift ed half across the polar pack, which k 1900 or 2OOO miles wide. Then will set sail in an aeroplane for the pole in an hour or so.
 "I expect my drifting voyage across the polar basin to occupy three years in all. will take along a thorough scientific equipment. expect to bring back much valuable data re garding prevailing winds, air cur rents, air temperatures, sea currents, sea temperatures, salinity of Arctic waters and 50 on. l will make ire Quent aeroplane flights. Rising to height of 2OOO or 5000 feet, I shall be able to survey the region within radius of 100 miles or more."
 Do you expect to find memorials of the Peary expedition at the POle:" Captain Amundsen was asked.
 "No," he said. Peary'S records were cached on ice, and they have drifted far away since Peary stood at the top of the world on April 6, 19O9."

\ molybdeaite claim discovered by Chas. Cartwright and Joe Guyoe about eight miles from here gives promise of being one of the biggest and most valuable mines in the vicln- ity of Skagway, says the Ala kanr Recent assay tests made in Juneau show values taken from this prospect to run from $500 to $lOOO ton. A tunnel has been driven 30 feet into the mountain side and the further in it goes the richer the ore becomes. This molybdenite was first discovered in the surface rock and traced along a blanket vein, 14O feet wide, for distance of more than one and one half miles. There are very few bolyb- denite mines in the world, and the value of the ore k great since 1t Is a good substitute for platinum and non-f Ne. The ore occurs in foliat- tuugstc The metal is practically ed masses or scales, and is lead grey in color, with a metallic luster. In feeling it is soft and like graphite. The metal is used largely for harden ing steel. especially the steel used in the large fighting machines ot Europe
