not seem to him to offer any ad-
vantages over the dog team. After
compiling data Of his five years. jour-
ney, and after finishing his lecture
tour, the explorer expects to strike out
again for more unexplored regions,
and he is satisfied with the old way
Of travel.
In discussing the old method OF
carrying enormous quantities Of sup
plies from the ship, and depending
entirely upon this for s~ustenance for
both men and dogs, Mr.. Stefansson
says he has proved to his satisfaction
that this is unnecessary. He has also
proved his theory that water and ice
would yield plenty Of food for the
entire party and dogs.

morrow noon and will lecture at the
auditorium tomorrow evening at $3.50.

tary station established at the univer-

of the interest which President
Homer Sprague had, in work of this
nature since he went to Washington
and made personal application for the
station.
The station then established was
continued as a voluntary and cooper
ative station until August 1, 1911,
when it was made a special meteoro-
logical station known as the Grand
Forks station.
