What Lincoln Ellsworth Likes
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
Newspaper Syndicate.

Then he went to Alaska as assist
ant engineer with the Kongarock Min
ing company, north Of Nome.
Ellsworth is deeply interested in
animal life. For two years he collected
various specimens from the north Of
California to the Yukon boundary
Of wild mountain sheep.
He is not much of a sport and does
not enjoy hunting, although he is said
to have shot the last wild buffalo
in the United States.
His father accumulated a vast for
tune from a coal mine in Ohio and
purchased the Villa Palmieri near
Florence. He collected much art and
other treasures, but his son was not
satisfied to sit down and enjoy them.
As is well known, he was a member
Of the first expedition in which Cap
tain Amundsen made his polar flight
and was imprisoned twenty-five days
in the ice Of the northern seas. He
was rescued just about when the par
ty had given up hope.
Just why a man should pass by ali
the comforts Of civilization and de-
vote himself to a life adventure is
something that cannot be seen By
some folks, but a nature like Els
worths finds its satisfaction in such
pleasures.

Lincoln Ellsworth is said to be
worth millions of dollars, to have a
villa in Italy, a castle in Spain, an
estate in New York, and plenty Of
means to do anything he wants.
He might loaf around in the clubs,
smoke JO-cent cigars, dress in purple
and fine linen, and altogether enjoy
himself chasing the girls.
Instead he joins expeditions to hunt
the North Pole. He braves all manner
Of hardships and does all kinds of
rough work in this connection.
After graduating as a student Of
civil engineering at Columbia Univer-
sity, he went out surveying for the
Grand Trunk Pacific Trans.continen-
tai Railroad in Canada.
Nothing daunted by these hardships
he took a job as transit man on the
first survey through the YelIowhead
Pass in British Columbia, footing the
entire two hundred miles Of the way
carrying instruments on his should
crg.
Living in a box car and bouncing
around from place to place seemed to
appeal to him better than enjoying a
life Of luxury.
After n while be took a course in
railroad engineering at Magill Univer-
sity in Canada and worked for five
years in Canada.

Democrats, Republicans and Socialists.
