JAP EXPLORER STARTS AGAIN
 TO SOUTH POLE

Tokio, March 25.-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press).-As the United States has had it's Peary and Englard it's Scott so Japan hopes lar explorer. Lieutenant N. Shi- rase, a retired officer of the Japan ese army who made a trip towards the south pole beginning November, 1910, and advanced as far as 80 de- grees, minutes south latitude, is planning to make another dash into the Antarctic regions starting in July of this year.
 mains problem for the Japanese officer but he hopes to get gov ernment subsidy. The principle ob- ject of the new expedition will be Ho find a means of working the coal and other precious material and to devise methods for their exportation. Lieutenant Shirase's first trip the main object was geographical but the object of the coming expedition is to determine more definitely the lOcali- ties of the natural resources in which this region is said to be very rich.
 Talking about his proposed trip Mir. Shirase said he hoped to find coal in the region about Mt. Erebus which he says resembles the sacred mount. Fuji, of Japan, in volcanic structure. A sensational feature of the forthcoming expedition is Shi- rase-s proposal to fly over the ice
 
 barriers which his party encountered before were more than 300 feet high and the party found these almost in- surmountable. To conquer this diff hcu1ty an aerop1ane is to be used.
 The expedition will include four teen people including an astronomer. a geographer, a physician, a moving picture operator, a journalist and also Hhe commanders son, Captain ToEao Shirase of the Japanese navy.
 Two years are expected to be spent on the trip. The party expects to sail first to the coast of South Ar gentfna and then rounding Cape Horn. to land somewhere in the neighbor- hood of the South Shetlands.
 Lieutenant Shirase's first expedition party was supported largely by Mar quis Okuma and other members of the Japanese Antarctic Exploring party. The voyaSers sailed from the gulf of Shinagawa on November 29, 1910, and passing the Bonin, Mariana and Caroline Islands finally reached New Zealad. They voyaged in a small steamer called "Open South,' a ship of only 200 tons displacement and one of the smallest ever used on such an expedition Eventually the party erected wooden monument in the eastern part of Edward VII Land and at South latitude so de- of the names of the patrons of the party in a. copper box, crying Ban zai!'' as it was lowered beneath the snow.

 The teacher considers that thls school is playing it's part in improving the financial conditions of our new school district. This makes my third term of school at this place. We have given two box suppers which paid a total amount of $22O. Every body contributed literally. assure you that it is appreciated by the entire district and especially by the teacher. As we now have a twelve mill school tax, we naturally expect an educa- t;onal revolution in this district.

A GREAT PICTURE OF
 THE GREAT NORTH

More than the usual interest at faches to the announcement of the forthcoming engagement of James Oliver Curwoods "Nomads of the North" at the Grand Theatre begin ming Friday. All those who saw ~Back to Gods Country" and "The Rivers End,' masterpieces from the worshop of this author, realize they are justified Tn expecting something extraordinary in the latest picturiza- tion of his brand of outdoors, far north fiction. This film is an Asso- eiated First National attraction and it is said to be ono of the very best features ever offered by this organ Kation. The three high-hghts in the production, according to advance in- formation, are: The remarkable per formance of animals including many wild ones in general and a pet bear and dog in particular; a forest fire which is accredited with setting a new high mark in realism and thrills and, a romance of all absorbing quail ssties quite different than the ordin- @sy run of love affairs so universal in the movies The cast which has been selected to play the various picturesque roles in this intense drama of the widest of Gods country includes such stars as Betty Blythe, Lon Chaney, Lewis Stone, Melbourne Mcdowell and Spottiswood Aiken.
