hours from Alaska to Spitzbergen, the two hour gasoline factor of safety is far too small and only a man who fears neither death nor the devil would venture upon so perilous a venture so poorly prepared for emergency, says the Nugget.
 The Nome Radio station has been able at various times to pick up the Maud, but within the past few days the wireless has not clearly deciphered the ships sendings. Presumably the atmospheric conditions are such that the limited radius of the Maud has been reached. From last reports the exploring vessel was in the ice in the neighborhood of Wrangel Island, and is now probably in the Polar drift.

PLAN TO IMPROVE METHODS BREEDING
 ALASKA REINDEER

The growing reindeer industry of Alaska offers great possibilities in meat production. Heretofore, no ef- fort has been made to improve the reindeer herds. The establishment of standard of excellence for use as a guide in breeding and growing rein deer is now under consideration by the Bureau of Biological Survey and the Bureau of Animal Industry in the de- partment.
 Representative of the two bureaus will hold conferences to establish ten tative standards of weight, girth, con- formation, quality, type, color, and other points affecting the production and market value of reindeer meat. It is believed that such a standard which reindeer breeders may use for the i'm provement of their herds will be of much value, especially in the absence of registry associations and limited opportunities for livestock shows, demonstrations, and judging contests
 In the opinion of experts in the Blu reau of Biological Survey it will be possible to add 200 pounds to the weight of the average reindeer by the careful selection of breeding stock. Tn this connection the Bureau of Ami maj Industry, which has had expert ence in grading up many kinds of do- mestic animals, has suggested the de- sirability of establishing a standard of excellence and is cooperating in the work

OLD SOURDOUCH STARTS OUT ON .L0NC PROSPECT

John Hagstrom, who spent seven years prospecting in the wilds of the Lizard River country, is preparing to set forth again to attend, as he says, conference of grizzly bears opposed ! to the use of the Ross rifle, that not being weapon suitable to the con- stitution of the bear family.
 John is one of the humorous, self sufficient sort of fellows who cannot be downed. He travels and prospects alone, can find his way anywhere, and, win or lose, always takes a philo- sophical view of things. He says he worked all summer for the Yukon Gold Company and now has a grubstake which will keep him in the mountains for two years.
 q have fed up on pies and cakes for three months," he said, to reporter of the Dawson News, land now can stand little hardtack and flapjack diet On one trip I was for two years with out flour, and for one year with no sugar A man can live, all right but it is not the living I would choose if I had a million. But, just the same, the mountains are my home. I want to be there. I've got good prospects up in the Liard country. On Esther creek the ground is thawed, but think I can get down to bedrock. On Cabin creek, about thirty miles above Sarah creek, two fellows mined in 1874, and one of them died there. The other died on Dease lake.
 T will take a steamer to Little Sal mon, and then hit out overland 400 miles, to the camping ground.
 "Yes, I've had one or two uncom- fortable experiences. In 1917 I had to live in a snowbank for nine days, and had only one blanket. Two of my dogs were frozen to death I was caught away up above the timber line in blizzard and could not travel No, l don't bother about company. A part ner is all right, but I won't waste any time looking for one"

CAPT. AMUNDSEN IN COMFORT AT WAINWRIGHT

Confirming the telegraphic reports of Roald Amundsen's preparations for wintering at Wainwright prepara, tory to making his trans-Polar flight in the spring, the Nome Nugget glVes an account of the adventures which have marked the explorers efforts in the Arctic this year. Unable to get to Point Barrow, says the Nugget Amundsen transferred from the ex. . ploring ship Maud to the c. s. Holmes, of the Bureau of Fisheries, taking aboard his planes, fuel and entire equipment for flight purposes. The ice was so thick that to land with the Holmes at Barrow was out of the question, and he therefore was forced to go ashore at Wainwright, where he will remain for the winter.
 At Wainwright there is no ice and since he intends to equip his flight plane with ski runners, to facilitate < polar landings and also that at Spitz- ' bergen, he was forced to abandon his flight for this season.
 Amundsen took with him a knocked down house which he has erected on the spit at Wainwright, close to the Inlet. Here he will be able to obtain a supply of native coal for his win ter's use. He has supplies from the Maud, and what ever else he may need can be procured at the village, so there is no reason why he cannot pass a comfortable winter. With him land- Lund, who has returned to the states on the Holmes.
 1 According to conversations with Captain Amundsen, he will wait until early in May of next year for his hop off. At that time of the year ice con- ditions are favorable and the days are all sunshine
 Much speculation is rife regarding his successful accomplishment of the polar flight. According to information received, his plane will carry only enough gasoline for 26 hours flying, When it is remembered that he in tends to stop at the pole to make ob- { servations; that accidents may occur eto force a landing or landings at other points, thereby consuming large quan- a plane of a larger type and greater gasoline capacity was not selected.

One result of the war, it is pointed out, is the introduction of washing machines into France. The peasant women may now do their laundry standing up, and they no longer have corns on their knees. In a few months they'll be ready to wear fringed skirts and rolled stockings like the town girls.

STORE VEGETABLES IN BOXES
Where Winters Are Mild, Beets, Car
rots, Turnips, Etc, May Be
Placed In Barrel.

In sections where moderate winters
prevail a box or barrel set below the
surface OF the ground and fitted with
a movable lid provides suitable stor-
age for such vegetables as beets, car
rots, turnips, etc. This type Of stor.
age is adapted to sections where the
bank or pit is used, or to parts OF
the country where the ground does not
freeze to depth Of more than few
inches. Through the aid Of such pro
tective coverings as leaves. straw OF
manure placed on the lid Of the stor-
age box, 1t Is possible to protect the
vegetables from any sudden extreme
of temperature. On account OF poor
drainage some locations are not suited
to these underground storage boxes.
In any location care must be exer.
clsed to select a site where water will
not accumulate In the box.
This type OF storage is much cleaner
and more accessible than the ordinary
bank or pit, and In most cases its cost
is very small. A number Of these
boxes can be provided so that part
of the vegetables can be taken oui
without disturbing the remainder.

GOOD PREVENTIVE OF VERMIN
All Small Enclosures Should Be
Cleaned and Disinfected Before
Being Used.

Except In accidental cases, hog lice
are found only on hogs, and they do
not voluntarily leave their natural
host, says the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture, When sepa-
rated from the animal they live only
two or three days. The lice pass
readily from one hog to another when
the animals come In close contact.
Practically all cases Of infestation
occur from contact with lousy ami
mails and not from infected premises.
Under reasonably good sanitary con-
ditlons pens, corrals and premises
which have contained lousy hogs are
not a source Of danger to hogs free
from lice.
AS precautionary measure, how
ever, and because 1t is good sanitary
practice, all small Enclosures which
have contained lousy hogs should be
cleaned and dlsinfected before being
used for new lot of hogs. The litter
and manure should be removed and
the floors cleaned after which the
woodwork and floors should be sprayed
with good disinfectant. The coal
tar-creosote dips. diluted in accordance
with Instructions on the container, are
suitable for this purpose.
