Claims Polar Regions
Will Soon Be Settled

TORONTO, Aug. 16.-Vilhjalmur
Stefansson today asserted that the
age of exploration of the Arctic
regions is over and the age of com
mercial development has begun.
Stefansson said he intends to devote
the rest of his life not to exploring
the northland but to the building
up of Greater Canada. He pre-
dicted that within so years there
will be less land in thhe Northern
Hemisphere considered worthless,
because of cold, than now in South
ern British Columbia.
Stefansson said there was no rea-
son why Amundsens flight over the
North Pole should not succeed. He
said the air conditions over the pole
in the summer is no more difficult
than ever the Atlantic and as
matter of fact is better because day
light is continuous and temperature
as warm as over the Atlantic.

called the fire hall.
The fire department was at the
scene Immediately and in about five
minutes had water playing on the
flames A little difficulty was ex-
perienced in getting the hose up to
the house, which is at the top of a
row of steps, because of the steep
grade.
A high pressure hydrant and the
pump was used Nine hundred feet
of hose were run out and two
streams of water played on the
flames.
The kitchen and bathroom of the
house were the only rooms damaged
severely by the fire. The water
caused a slight loss. The four
rooms on the second floor were not
damaged.

Mystic Word
From McAdoo
Moves Mule

YOSEMITE. Cal, Aug. 16.-The
mule wherewith cartoonists for years
had represented the Democratic
party is not the only one that is
amenable at times to whispers from
William G. McAdoo. Secretary of the
Treasury under Woodrow Wilson.
Mr.. McAdoo, his wife and daugh-
ter were ascending the narrow Ten
ava Lake trail on horseback. They
met pack train, headed by a giant
specimen of the type that has made
Missouri famous and with an ap-
Tarently unalterable determination
not TO yield even half of the road
to anybody.
The guides pleaded in terms ap-
propriate to the ears of the women
in the McAdoo party; then descend
ed by easy stages into mule talk
calculated to move mountains.
But not this particular mule. Mr..
McAdoo descended from his saddle.
He approached the mule. What mys-
tic Democratic password he used the
guides did not hear and he did not
tell. But the mule stood aside and
the party rode on past the pack
train and up to lake, whence they

good camp and enter material and
,ur0lies for long period
The hardships that confront him
in doing this will result in the ex-
hausion of his morale and physical
forces, 50 much SO that when the
moment for real exploration comes,
the results he might be able to OBJ
tain will be very meager in complri-
son to the amount of energy that he
has spent.
The U. S. Geological Survey has
made several expeditions at a large
expense. and only small part of
Alaska could be covered by topo-
graphical survey and mapping. The
largest part of the Territory remains
unknown. The reason so little area
has been mapped out is due to the
slow means of transportation, added
to the many hardships that any man,
or party, has to encounter in travel
ing.
This shows that the logical solu-
ton does not lay with terrestrial
transportation. even with the roads
that the winter affords, but to turn
10 the aeroplanes. The modern ma
chine is fast and able to carry sew
eral passengers and heavy loads, and
VIII respond to every need.
"The safe way of effecting a land
ing on snow covered mountains, as
we'll as in the valleys, and on the
water, will demonstrate the practical
feasibility of transportation by air
craft, and open up countries that
nobody would dare 20 touch under
resent conditions. With the good
equipment that is available today,
and proper organization, the work
that aviation will achieve from the
start, will turn great light on the
unlimited possibilities of Alaskan in
dustries, and be progressively won
derful advertisements in home and
foreign countries to attract capital"
