Arctic are the most severe that the oldest seaman aboard the Polar Bear remember. The ice isypiled in moun- tainous masses and is by far the heav- fest seen in years. Photographs taken by members of the crew show huge bergs and pinnacles intermingledi with great upheaved blocks, the surface of which resembles nothing so much as Ia picture of the Alps from the summit lof Mont Blanc.
 In places the Ice encountered was higher than the schooner's masts and navigation through the open leads was sometimes extremely precarious. The Polar Bear sighted the two vessels during rcssage and learned from their crews the predicament in which their vessels were placed. The Polar Bear also picked up one member of the Nok- atak crew. Andy Otterson, and return ed him to Nome. The San Francisco schooner Casco, which departed from Nome recently bound on q mysterous expedition to the Lena River section of Siberia. was also seen in the ice about thirty miles from North Cape. The schooner was able to navigate and her crew were endeavorirg to return to Nome.

According to those on the Polar Bea-. the vessels appeared to be in no i.nm. diate danger but will be in serious prospect of de- struction if they canno. e npc hsfh'e the freeZeup commences.
 The Polar Bear also encountered the Gottschaf< schooner Fridolf Gek at Feast Cape. While at that point it was also learned that the Swensen. Hubbard schooner Belvedere lost her propeller in an encounter with the ice and was proceeding to Anadyr for re- pairs.
 The trip of the Polar Bear was n lucrative one from the tradingsstand- point and valuable cargo of furs was obtained The schooner also returned the crew of the Russian trader Flyer to Nome. that vessel having been laid up for the winter at Anadyr.

Inquirers into the cost of living problem and economic questions will be interested in q public lecture by Bruce Rogers announced to take place at the Dream Theatre Sunday after noon on the subject; "value, Price and Profit"
 Mir Rogers is trained lyceum speaker who studied undeDDr David NJ Houston. formerly head of the EcO- homie Department of the University of Texas and now Secretary of Agricul- lure. Mir Rogers asserts that there is
 no such thing as "Profiteering" that can be grasped and defined. He ex-
 plains this somewhat mystifying dec- laration by the assertion that living costs and their fluctuations are due tc normal factors in our methods. bas- ing the deduction on the theorem that
 the cost of living is in constant ratio between production and consumption and the cheapening of gold by the use of other forms of money. As to labor. + he asserts that the workingman's con- cern is in production and not in the average prices which he must pay for | the necessaries of life.
 Mir Rogers discussion of the prob lem now so prominently before the nublic should provide considerable en- l Iliehtment to those who are not Ia lmiliar with the economic phases or the | living question. Admission to the lecture will be free.

 upon the company to divert one of the Southeastern Alaska steamers of the

 steamer Northwestern is scheduled to
 sail for Southern Alaska points on October ? and could be diverted to the Nome run for one trip to relieve the congestion that is certain to develop if the Victoria is left to handle the
 business alone. Far more passages than the regulations permit have all
 ready been applied for and situation such as obtained on the last trip Of 1918 is sure to develop unless another vessel is sent to help the Victoria. The outlook is that if the government permits an increase in the number of messengers the vessel is normally per-

 crowd people into all manner of

The departure of the Nome schoon- CT Belinda for years stay on the desolate coast of Wrangell Island created furry of interest along the water front yesterday. After loading supplies for what may ultimately de- velop into q two year stay on the is- land if ice conditions are unfavorable for return next year. the schooner pulled out for the Arctic yesterday afternoon. The expedition is piloted by Arnold Castell and comprises q total of five men. including the cap tain. It is planned to place the schoon- CT in winter quarters on the island. which is situated in the Arctic Ocean at q point about three hundred and ninety miles northwest of Rering Strait and about one hundred ahd
 thirty miles north of the Siberian coast off North cape. During their stay the crew will engage in hunting and trapping. 4 more desolate spot than the remote island could not be found on the earth's surface. It is situated close to Latitude Fl degrees north and is surrounded by the Arctic fee pack practically throughout the year. Only for four of five weeks in August and
 September are it's bleak anl rocky shores accessible. During the remafnd- or of the year it is clasped close in :ha
 mighty embrace of the great ice pack covering the polar cap. The island Is about 75. miles in length and ap- proximately 30 miles wide at its widest part. Situated close to its shores Is another small Island known as Plover Island and off it's eastern coast at n distance of about thirty miles lies Herald Island. The two last mentioned islands are named after the famous exploration ships Plover and Herald, which explored that section of the Arctic,in 1879. So far as known whites first landed on Wrangell Island Aug ust 26. 1881. when the exploration steamer Rogers. commanded by Lieu tenant Berry of the American Navy. in q good harbor on the south coast. The Rogers was one of the vessels engaged in the search for the f,tA .slNi iah -a1 by the ice northwest of Wrangell in June 1881. The island possesses no population and is of the most for bidding character It is said to con- tain many foxes and other Northern animals. however. and the members of the expedition expect to reap a furry harvest from their hunting and trapping endeavors.

A recent Juneau dispatch printed in a Southeastern Alaska exchange says reports have, reached the, capital city city from Seattle to the effect that there is talk in Seattle transportation circles of consolidation of all the steamship lines running to Alaska. as well as of the coastwisc lines north and south. including the overseas or Oriental lines. The various lines are to operate under the control of one company and with working agree ments with Atlantic steamship lines. The Juneau statement says H F Alex ander of the Pacific Coast Company has been working on the proposition.
 Whether or not such a development would be of particular benefit to the territory is problematical, although it would appear that the resultant reduc- tion in overhead costs entailed in plac- ing the lines under one management would warrant a reduction in traffic tolls

The Begley Failure.

In an article telling of the financial
troubles of George Begley Jr., of
Poplar Bluff, last Thursdays st. Louis
Globe Democrat said:
Begley's hobby as child, according
to his father, was wealth. He re-
garded riches aslife's greatest achieve
ment. When he was in knickerbock-
ers he was interested only in the
financial standing of those with whom
he came in contact, his father said.
His first question when someone's
name was MENTIONED, was "How
much money has he?''
GAS much as he liked money he did
not know its real value" the elder
Begley said. SAT that, if they would
just let George alone for another sea-
son of rice he would have been on the
road to genuine success.
"Of course, | cannot excuse the Of
tense he has committed, but I sincere
ly believe he was honest at heart. He
had vision that he was going to
come out all right and that some day
he would be able to pay back"
Begley's father had outlined com
merciai future for him and when he
finished high school he was advised
to take position in department
store.
He worked as a salesman behind g
hardware counter for a short time
and then induced his father to star
him in the realty loan business.
He wanted to be fnancier. He
told his father that his mind was BEN
on that sort of a career and that ht
could be a success at nothing else
His father gave him a small amour
of capital and the boys venture haC
the appearance of being q success
from the start.
He launched forth in 1912 under thu
imposing name of the United Realty
and Loan Company. He opened al
Office on Broadway, across the stree
from the postofice, and employed
stenographer. Business went his way
