STEPHENSON, EXPLORER,
 NATURAL" TRApSHOOTER

While V. Steffansson, the great Arc tic explorer, is primarily rifle shot, he handles shotgun and breaks the elusive clay targets with skill that old-time trapshooters we'll may envy. The photograph shows Steffanson shooting over hand trap on the es- tate of widely known game conser- vationist near Au Sable Chasm in the eastern Adirondacks, New York State. If there were no other outward evi- dences that the explorer is lover of the out-of-dooys, the fact that he is shooting his string in the bracing mountain air without ha, or top coat would indicate it. The picture was taken after the last heavy snowfall. While Stefansson is what his friends term natural shot" with the shot gun, during the trip in question he saw fit to flatter his skill by using Remington UMC "Speed Shells"
 AS AN EXPLORER
 Because of his inherent modesty, newspaper men have found it difficult to get Stefansson to say very much about himself in relation to his ex- plorations. Suffice it to say that this man is one of the greatest living Arc explorers. His first trip was made under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History and he remained in the far north for about five years. His last trip consumed about five and half years and was made under the direction of the Can adian Government The net results of his exploration have been to add extensively to our knowledge of polar geography, including the discovery of asw lands in that region.
 During his last trip (and here is a fact that will interest all sportsmen) Stefansson secured TWO TONS of meat for every pound of metallic car tridges utilized. As he travels he lives on the resources of the country. This record may be compared with the tragic end of the Sir John Franklin expedition many years ago in the same region covered by Stefansson, when the Franklin party of about 12O men met death from starvation. Sir John Franklin's party died in a region that possessed food resources upon which the Stefansson expedition would have thrived
 THE MUSK OK AN ASSET
 Since his return from the Arctic. Stefansson has taken up with the Am erican and Canadian Governments the question of domesticating the musk OK both for it's wool and it's meat. The musk OK gives about three times the amount of wool as the sheey. and in view of the present shortage in the worlds wool supply this animal might become an asset of no mean propor- tons. Peary, in an interview in the New York Sun, said recently their meat is better than beef. Stefansson says it is indistinguishable from beef.

ROOSEVELT'S DEATH
OPENS PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN GOSSIP

WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Theodore
Roosevelt's death removed man,
who. in the public mind was regarded
as the lilSeliest republican presidentt-
al nominee for the 1920 campaign.
Close upon the expression Of sorrow
following the announcement OF his
death. capital politicians began dis
eussing the chances OF other candt-
dates. General Pershing's name is
most heard I'm the gossip, but two elc-
ments of doubt have entered into the
consideration of Pershing. First
whether he is the republican choice.
and second. whether he would give up
his army career to enter politics.
Friends and many other prominent
republicans now profess to believe
their particular candidate has moved
to first place In the line OF aspirants.
Senators Borah and Johnson are both
strongly progressive. Hughes, Form-
er Senator Root and Taft, conserva-
tive. are among those mentioned.
