GOOD TIMES AHEAD

Bingham County potauo growers
should feel greatly encouraged by
the splendid strength which the mar
ket is showing of late. The large
acreage OF potatoes planted this year
and the good price they are bringing
will assist materially in making the
year a prosperous one, even il soIae
other crops on which the farmers
bank, do not yield so great returns.
All crops are showing up fine, and
indications are that there will be a
normal supply of currency at least
in Bingham county after The har-
vest. 1t will feel good to % business
along normal lines once llore, and 1t
is the prediction of thosa cl?se 10 the
local situation thai we will all at
least enjoy moderate degree OF the
old time prosperity the comiag TALL

STEFANSSON WILL
EXPLORE ARCTIC
Four Men Left Seattle Thursday to
Make Preparations for Major Elk.
ploration Expedition Next Year.

Vilhjalmur StefansSOn, arctic ex-
plorer and lecturer, who appeared in
Blackfoot on the recent Chautauqua
program, telling Of the wonders of
the Arctic region has completed the
organization in Seattle Of the ad-
vance guard of the most extensive ex-
pedition the noted explorer has ever
made into the Arctic according to in
formation received here. The pre-
liminary party sailed from Seattle
Thursday for Nome. Alaska, where it
will take charge of the auxiliary
powered schooner Orion. which is be-
ing outfitted at the Behring seaport
for the expedition. The advance
party will consist Of four men, dwo
of whom were with Stefansson on
previous trips to the far north.
BY the end Of this month, the ad-
vance party will be in the Arctic
seas according to DR.. Stefansson. The
explorers will winter on one Of the
Canadian islands and next year will
be Joined by the major exploration
expedition headed by DR.. Stefans-
son personally and party of scien-
fists.
In an interview given out at Seat
tile DR.. Stefansson gave some inter-
esting light on how the explorers
will live in the north.
Instead Of carrying large guam
titles of provisions with u.s." he said,
1--WE will live by forage as Alexander
did when he invaded Asia, and adopt
similar methods to those used during
the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Rifles Main Support
"On land we will live on the carl
,bOu and musk OK and at sea on seal
and the polar bear. BY the new meth
cd we will have our rifles and ammu-
milton as the only means Of obtaining
food, fuel and clothing, and will be
able to journey indefinitely In The
Arctic. We have discovered that is
pounds of cartridges will support five
men and 20 dogs two years The de-
velopment of this method of explora-
tion has opened every gateway and
has made comparatively easy every
path in the polar regions. with that
knowledge we can have meat for food
skins and furs for clot hing and ami
NAL fat for fuel and we are safe and
comfortable in any part of the Arc
tic"
