start out in ships. They are to
leave at about the same time.
Although thousands of miles
apart, the men are planning to
make it q united expedition, which
may cost them about 100000.
The aeroplanes will help the
explorers coordinate their observa-
lions and discoveries. Each party
in this way will be ready to help
the other in case of danger.
If one party is icebound the
aeroplane from the other group
will be ready to rescue them men.
The machines also will enable the

exploration of the whole north
polar region.
Both expeditions are endorsed
by the National Geographic So
ciety. They expect to stay in the
arctic zone from three to five
years.

CAPITAL
BOSSES
WHIPPED
BY Edgar G. Wheeler

OLYMPIA, Jan. 0.-The
second days session of the
18th legislature saw the ring
rule i'm the senate practically
broken, with the insurgents
claiming IL permanent major
ity and expressing confidence
that the old-time group of re-
dictionaries will no longer be
able to meet behind closed
doors to grease the skids for
iniquitous measures or to
block progressive legislation.
At the same time the house be-
gins work with the power of the
once all-powerful rules committee
curtailed by a provision that q
bare majority vote of the members
can bring a bill out of the COM
mittee or advance it on the calen-
dar, in place of a two-thirds ma
jority as in the past.
This means the winning of the
fight which has been made by pro-
gressives in the house during the
last two sessions.
The showdown in the senate
came late yesterday, with Dan
Landon of Seattle and Halph Met
calf leading the fight against
Lieut.. Gov. Harris slate.
The result was the addition oil
two members favorable to the in
surgents to the rules committee
and the revamping of nearly al
the other committees which had
been stacked with the most reac.
tionary members.
The two added to the rules
committee were Harvey Phipps oi
Spokane, former progressive, and
G. r. Mcmillan, democrat.
Senator Walter S. Davis of Ia
coma, was one of the leaders in
the insurgents fight to procure a
progressive senate.

ASSESSING
BY MAP
Board of Assessors Ready
For Work.
A new SYSTEM.
This Year the Assessors Will Have
Scientific Foundation for Real
Estate Assessment.

The city taxing maps, made for
Bridgeton by City Engineer William
S. Bacon, will be used this year by
the members of the City Board of
Assessors in preparing the assess
ment of the real estate for taxation.
The maps will give the Board of
Assessors for the first time, absolute
information Of the dimensions and 10
cation of every piece of property
owned in the city of Bridgeton. With
this information before them the As
SCISSORS will be enabled to fix an abb
solute equality in assessments upon
real estate.
The entire system of assessment is
thus changed, and the Assessors this
year will be obliged to evolve some
system whereby the tax maps infor-
nation may be utilized to advantage.
For the first two years the work will
be most important and if the proper
system Is established the foundation
for all future assessments will be
laid upon a permanent basis.
The County Tax Board requires an
entirely new duplicate this year. so
that the clerical work of the Board
will be wholly changed from that OF
past years. The new forms for the
duplicates have been ordered and are
ready for delivery so that very short
ly the Board of Assessors will be
enabled to take up IT'S important
work
In general way it is expected taat
the taxing maps will re-adjust a good
many assessments, although they are
not likely to make much change in
the aggregate taxables.
