Great Pile Of kilograms
Commander Macmillan arrived in
Wiscasset this afternoon from his
home in Freeport where he passed
last night. A pile of kilograms and
letters of good wishes were stacked
upon his desk in the cabin Of the
Bowdoin. He stopped his busy whirl
for fe moments to personally di-
rect a group of men who were carry
ing arm loads of books to his quar-
tiers and showed them where they
were to be placed on shelves run
ming around the cabin. Many of
these books were Of a scientific ma
ture.
Commander Macmillan does not
have private quarters on the Bow
dom. His cabin is shared with Ralph
p. Robinson, of Merrimac. Mass, his
mate, a companion on previous ex-
petitions. Only one other member of
the two ships has been to the North
Pole before. He is John Jaynes of
Somerville, Mass, the engineer, on
the Bowdoin.
Tonight Commander Macmillan at
tended dinner in his honor at New
agen Inn, Southport.

morrow will say:
Trade, industry and collections are
rather spotted, and on the whole pre-
sent slightly Quieter appearance as
they enter the summer season. Crop
reports, too, are more irregular as the
result of advices Of widening area OF
the south, especially Texas and the
Atlantic coast. noting increaded need
Of rains. Corn and spring wheae re-
ports, however. are better. The quiet
ing down process in trade and indus
try, however, does not seem to pro-
gress at the. speed noted. especially
in industry, in the second quarter Of
1924, the result being that current sta
tistics of trade volume and industrial
movemen tend to make better compar..
isons with a year ago than they did
a while ago, although the quoting
down from April and May comes in for
notice. Retail trade is naturally the
most active branch of distribution,

Chicago wholesalers report seasonal
goods selling better.

being put aboard, crowds Of visitors
swarmed on the pier, the men of the
expedition mopped their brows as
they toiled in a hot sun and wished
longingly for the frigid air Of the
Arctic they will set out to explore.
Citizens Of the village Of Wiscasset
were hardly less busy preparing for
the influx of visitors tomorrow. Lem
onade stands sprang up at points
close to the wharf and q carnival
spirit was in the air. The folks here

Test Radio Apparatus
Among the last minute tests being
made today was that Of the radio ap-
paratus on board the two ships
Lieutenant Commander Eugene F.
Mcdonald Of Chicago, In charge OF
the radio equipment, said everything
was working satisfactorily.
II firmly believe" he said. "that
there will be no day when we won't
be in communication with you folks
down here in civilization"
Commander Mcdonald said he was
almost certain that not only would
code wireless messages be heard in
the United States, but also that the
voices of those in the party would be
listened to in America. Eskimo voic-
es also will be broadcast from the
Arctic. He said recent tests with the
apparatus gave every indication that
they would be able to broadcast that
far, and asserted that weather condi-
lions in the Arctic should be IDEAL
even better than the congested at
mosphere of civilization.
Farewell Through Radio
The radio tests today brought
crowds to the pier, for receiving
apparatus was set up there and an
engineer aboard the Peary broadcast
to the dock, testing the machines at
every conceivable adjustment. To-
morrow when the two ships sail, the
thousands who crowd the pier and
hillsides along the river will hear
Commander MacMillan's voice bid
ding them farewell. He will stand on
the bridge of the Peary as she slips
away from WiJcasset and talk
through the air on a wave length OF
about 200 meters. Loud speakers on
