EXPLORER BERNARD
 FAILS IN EFFORT TO
 NEGOTIATE CHANNEL

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Joseph F. Bernard, ex. plorer, and former resident of Los Angeles, is returning from the North American channel, according to word just received here, after an unsuc- cessful effort for three years to force his way from the Pacific to the At lantic ocean north of the American continent. :, ...
 Bernard has twice defed the ice fields in a tenton schooner, the Teddy Bear, accompanied by only one man. On his first trip, in 1908, he went to the Siberian coast and was absent for nearly five years. His assistant died on this voyage, and the explorer sailed his boat to the ice fields alone
 In 1916 he again sailed north in the Teddy Bear, this time in the hope of drifting from the Pacific to the At lantic. Recently David H. Hurley, friend of Bernard here, received word that the Teddy Bear had been sighted by natives near Banksland, and that Bernard was once again headed south, apparently unable to negotiate the passage between the two oceans.

New Montezurna
Bridge Nearly Done

OGLETHORPE, March 2-The
contractors on the fine new concrete
bridge over Flint river between Ogle-
thorpe and Montezuma will in few
days turn the complete job over to
the government and Macon county.
This bridge is one of the finest in
the state, and will be a great con-
venience not only to the people of
the two towns, but to the people of
the county generally. The contractors
have made good progress on the work
considering the much bad weather
of the past few months.
The county commissioners are hay
ing all the old wooden bridges over
the county replaced with concrete
ones, in this respect placing Macon
county in the front rank of the pro
eressiye counties of the state.

Hoover is building a real home now.

postponed by his war duties, and
once more the Hoovers became hotel

Six months ago, when the family
