AMUNDSEN CARRIES MAIL

SEATTLE, Oct. 3.-One of the most spectacular chapters in the annals of world wide postal delivery may be written when Captain Roald Amnnd- sen famous Norwegian explorer wings his way across the top of the world in his proposed attempt to fly an airplane from the tip of Alaska to Northernmost Europe, via the North Pole. With him in his mono plane will ride mail sack containing letters written by Nome residents for delivery to friends in Europe.
 If weather conditions had not forced a postponement of the flight until next year, these letters might have reached their destination a week ahead of the time required to make delivery by the established routes. As it is, arriving perhaps more than a year later, they will have a price less historical value to their recipi ents who will doubtless follow the af fair of their explorer-postman with intensified interest.
 According to report by Postmaster Walsh of Nome, to local postal off cials, the letters were written when Captain Amundsen was about to de part from the mining camp on his way to Wainwright, 100 miles south west of Point Barrow.

FRENCH FAIL TO AGREE
 ON WHEAT PROSPECTS

PARIS, Oct 8. - How much wheat will France import in 1922 is live question this summer, difficult to an- swer and important in it's bearing on exchange.
 There are three schools of thought on the subject, according to newspa- per comment.
 One is the optimistic school which believes that the French harvest will be so good, due to the wet summer, that little wheat will have to be i'm ported.
 Second is the pessimistc school that insists that last falls drought still is being felt unfavorably this summer, and that it will be necessary to import at least 20,O00,O0O quintals
 The third type of commentator is the one who urges action to prevent further importation. He is the advo- cate of the promulgation by law of wheat substitutes, of which the most often recommended are rye and sara sin. Opponents of the theory point out that the pushing of any substi- ute for wheat will at once raise the price of the new grain far beyond it's value and the people will have to pay white bread prices for brown bread.
