! Seaman White, with one of the neal
tragedies and incidentally with one Of
the greatest accomplishments of al
the ages-the discovery of the North
Pole.
Since the earth was first thought tc
be round, for over four centuries, the
world had dreamed of solving the mys
terry of the North; Columbus, Hudson
and other daring voyagers had devel.
oped new continents, in a vain search
for the far famed Indies, and for the
northwest passage around the western
hemisphere. later. AS civilization pro-
crossed, the search for the northwest
passage, and incidentally the north
pole, had become not only a great sci
entific quest, but the greatest sporting
proposition of all time. Since the
reign Of Henry the Eighth, short
route to China and the midas had been
looked upon as great commercial
prize and during most of the inter-
vening years, Britain's flag has waved
over the "Furthest North" Hendrick
Hudson, the Dutch explorer, held the
prize for a short time, as in one of his
voyages he advanced to so degrees
north. The Dutch built a town in the
Arctic circle and profited greatly by
the fisheries discovered by Hudson.
The Dutch held the record for 165
years. England made strenuous ef-
fort to regain the lost advanced posi-
ton and. through Phipps and Nelson,
regained it. During the following pc
Rod more than $4,000 men and many
were thrown into the conquest
Of the north by Englishmen and the
English parliament, seeking the pass

RAILROADS IN STATE
CARRY 100000 PERSONS

The five main railroad lines in the
8tate of Washington carried 1886, 316
passengers in 1920, who paid fares
averaging $3.50 a person, according
to statistics compiled by the state de-
partment of public works from figures
submitted by the companies. In the
same year there were 29,287,969 tons
OF revenue freight shipped and 3,672,-
663 tons of non-revenue freight. The
average amount received for each ton
of revenue freight was $193 or aver
age receipts of little more than one
cent per ton per mile
The Northern Pacific and the Spo-
kane, Portland and Seattle railroads
were the only lines showing an excess
of operating revenues over operating
expenditures. The O. w. r. and N
fell behind by $5SO,257, the Great
Northern by $1,270,S6s, and the Chi.

Eight short line roads carried 24O,-

ating expenditures on these lines to-
tailed 1851 ,936 while the operating
revenue amounted to only $1.555. 0B7 |

America now seemed established in
the great international race for the
pole. The rivalry was keen and in
1875 Markham, an Englishman, took
ship to SO degrees north.
In recent years both Norway and
Denmark have taken high honors, and
the real discovery of the northwest
passage belongs to Nansen, while
Amundsen is still accomplishing great
discoveries in each of his trips to the

BlDDY FARMERS
BEST BET
Poultry on So Per Cent of Wash
mgton Farms; Eggs, Milk and
Bread Most Important.

Poultry and poultry products are
produced on more farms, and touch
intimately the economy of more farm
homes than any other livestock indus
try in the state" said Dean E. c.
Johnson of Washington State college
in his talk to members Of the poultry
club on the occasion of their first
banquet.
While horses, one of the most COM
mon domestic animals, are found on
1872 per cent of the 66,28S Washing
ton farms; dairy cattle on 1874 per
cent; swine on $50 per cent; beef
cattle on las per cent; and sheep on
ga per cent, we find poultry on 57,082
farms. or S6.1 per cent of all the
farms Of the state.
Eggs, poultry and milk constitute
perhaps the most important products
for the farmers table, outside of
breadstuffs. In times of great stress
on the farm, as today, more people
u
the dairy cattle, and the hog, than at
any other time. Often the income
from these sources will change the
balance of the ledger of the years
business from loss to profit.
There is every good reason, there
fore. why poultry should be empha-
sized on every farm as a part Of the
general farm business, and every ar
gument why the college of agriculture
should stress and give attention to its
poultry work along with the other live
stock lines. This we hope to do
through the use of the splendid plant
now erected"
The new plant, just dedicated, will
be one Of the finest of its kind In any
agricultural college when all the units
are completed. The long breeding
house has IS separate pens fitted with
trapnests and individual runs to the
yards. so that in case of any outbreak
OF disease it may be confined to as |
small number as possible, not spread |
through the flock. Each pen has an
isolation cage for "broody" or sick |
fowls.
In he feed house, where roots and
grains are stored, oats sprouted, and
q killing room provided, students de-
the most approved meth
DDS of killing and picking (the dry
pick" method) and preparing for mar
ket. An exhibition of 80 birds fitted

Receive Visit From
Real Camp Fire Girl

Presto has been enjoying the COM
pany of a real camp fire girl this
summer in the person of the mother
Of Richard Hughes, who has spent
most of her life in Oregon and last
Tuesday her daughter-in-law gave .
party in honor Of her eighty-hrst
birthday.
Mrs. Hughes was born in October,
1841, when her parents were NOV
ing to new home out west, and q
camp fire constituted the hearth
stone where she was born. When
the mother was we'll enough to
travel the family moved on, and In
the great trek Of the year when
Marcus Whitman brought that first
thousand people across the Rocky
Mountains to Ft. Hall and to
Oregon, this little camp IRE girl had
her first views of the great prairies
Of the Mississippi valley. and later,
the great plains and the plateau
where flows the Oregon. We do not
undarstand that the family came on
to 0f6Sosk until some years later
about the time Of the deep dust and
the cholera scourge and the mas
sacres.
Richard and his wife and neigh
bors have shown her q pleasant
summer and she is soon to turn her
face again to the setting sun, max
ing the journey under conditions
that contrast sharply with those Of
the trip Of so long ago.
