Editor Times-Reeorder: When I
read in your Sundays issue your
write-up of the gas explosion at the
Planters Seed store, l asked myself
the question, Was David right when
he got in hurry and said that all
men are liars. I'll paraphrase that
by saying all men make mistakes. AS
the principal sufferer, you might have
asked me few questions. / went
in the store to pay an account and
as I approached the counter jar
or bottle rolled off and hit the floor
between my feet. The explosion and
conclusion were simultaneous. The
ashes from my cigar had no more to
do with it than a chunk Of ice in the
Bay of Fundy. I can hold the aches
from a hundred cigars in my hands
and not experience any burning SEN
sation. How then could dead ashes
ignite any sort of gas? However, if
by assuming the responsibility it will

AMUNDSEN, In
POLE DASH, YEAR
UNHEARD FROM

SEATTLE, August 25.-(By As
ISOLATED Press.)-Bound for the
North Pole, Raold Amundsen, Nor
wegian discoyerer of the South pole,
is at the present drifting in his ice
locked schooner, the Maud, some
where north of western Siberia, ac-
cord1ng to beliefs held by the Seattle
Norwegian vice-consulate and Vilhal-
muir Stefansson, Canadian Arstic eX-
plorer.
In planning the trip, the explorer
said he expected, after reaching the
pole, to return either to Grant Land,
west of Greenland or Melville Island,
which lies in the Arctic Ocean north
of Canada. Should he reach Mel
vile Island he probably would jour
ney by sea to Nome, Alaska or over
land to Dawson, Yukon territory.
Two airplanes, it is believed, form
ed part of the Maud's equipment
when she left Norway last fall and
sailed through the White Sea bound
for the icy north. The final dash
to the pole may be made in one of
the planes. Amundsen, it is believ-
ed, may also fly back to civilization
in one of the machines.
Nothing has been heard from
Amundsen since September /, 1918,
nearly one year ago. AT that time
the Maud was reported taking oil
for her motors at Dixson Island, a
White Sea point. After taking the
oil she sailed northeast into the rapid
ly freezing waters of the Arctic
Ocean.
From White Sea Amundsen expect
ed to drift east with the ice to the
New Siberian Islands, which lie in
the Arctic off Siberia. At the New
| Siberian Islands, it was believed, the
drift would carry the board toward,
if not across, the pole. Amundsen
inteuded to use the airplanes if he
found the drift would not carry him
! across the top of the earth"
Amundsen, in a degree, followed
the footsteps of his countryman,
Fridtj Of Nansen, in 1S95-96. Nan
sen in the Fran started on drift
across the pole but left his boat
and tried unsuccessfully to reach the
goal on foot. Later the Fran drift

sen got
The Maud carries wireless send

case he comes out by his eastern
route.
Il he comes toward the west and

5 1896.
