Brings 5000 Specimens Of
Arctic Life Back to United
States Fl
Wrecked Ship Saved Eskimos
from Starvation in Icy
North

Sydney, N. S., Sept. 5.-lP)-
The end of Commander Donald B
MacMillan's eleventh venture init
the Arctic and sub-Arctic was draw
ing near today, with one of the prin.
cipal objects of the exploration still
undetermined-proof that Norsemer
ever reached Labrador.
The expedition aboard the schooner
Bowdoin put in here yesterday from
Main, Labrador, for fuel, and then
prepared to continue on to Wiscas-
set, Me-, from whence it sailed in
June, 1927.
But although the explorer brought
back no conclusive evidence to con-
firm Eskimo and other traditions Of
early Scandinavian settlers. his party
did succeed in fixing the boundaries
Of Arctic plant, fish and bird life at
a line much farther north than had
been previously supposed.
Included among the 5000 speci-
mems aboard the schooner were many
varieties hitherto not thought to
exist in those regions.
The adventures inquired eagerly
for news Of the Bremen flight and
the finding of the Greater Rockford
flyers, for whom the Bowdoin was
only prevented assisting in search
by lack Of fuel.
Wreck Is Salvation
A story of how the wreck of the
Hudson's Bay company steamer Bay
Rupert had proven the salvation of
starving Eskimo settlements of
northern Labrador, and Of a visit
to kindlunarn Island in Frobisher'
bay, the first attempted settlement
of white men in the sub-Arctic, were
high lights of the many narratives
told by the Bowdoin's company.
In discussing the Morse phase of
their researches Commander Mac
MILAN said:
1--WE have so far been unable to
discover any conclusive evidence that
the early Norsemen ever reached
Labrador. Ny own belief, However,
is that they probably did. The
legends Of the Eskimos state that
the Norsemen came there. presum-
ably from Greenland, where there
are undisputable Vikino ruins"
All the comforts and some of the
discomforts of home were found in
igloos after the Bay Rupert went
ashore on Clinker Rock, Cape Harri-
gan, said Macmillan. Aborigines
who found bare necessities difficult
enough to obtain boasted phono-
graphs, sewing machines and saxo-
phones, while flour was fed to dogs.
But the wreck was providential,
from their viewpoint.
Seal. Fish Few
1T had been an unusual summer"
said the commander. THE seal sea-
.on was failure, and so was the
fishing along the coast, for the ships
we're late in coming northward and
the fish left early.
"Under these circumstances the |
wreck of the Bay Rupert was god
send. She was loaded to the gum
wales with everything that could be
imagined"
There was genuine disappointment
when the expedition sailed for home,
or to the white fishermen, native
indians and Eskimos it meant the
md of automobiling. The farthest
North motorcar is in the farthest
forth garage at Main, and there the
natives impatienhy await the return
# its owners so that they made
more exciting joy-rides than can be
afforded by the dog-drawn komat-
lex.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 5.-R-
When sessions start at the state az

E. S. Keene.
i He is r. NJ. Dolve, who was born
and raised on a farm between Port
land and Hatton, N. D. Professor
Dolve was graduated from the COL
llege where this year he will be an
instructor. He received his degree
of bachelor Of science in mechanical
engineering at the institution in
June, 1905.
Shortly after graduation Professor
Dolve took position with the
United States geolo~ical and the
United States reclamation surveys,
working in the territory Of Ray and
Williston, N. D. He also worked in
the Red lake reclamation drainage
survey in northern Minnesota and n
connection with topographic map.
ping in Dallas county, near Des
Moines, Iowa.
During part of these years Mr..
Dolve was engaged as special in
structor at the agricultural college;
principally in farm engineering,
working most of the time 1T the
college during the winter months
when work with the surveys was at
a standstill.
During the school year 1901 he
was engaged as full-time instructor
in agricultural engineering, and in
the summer Of 1912 transferred to !
the school of mechanic arts as as
sistant professor of mechanical en-
gineering. Duri-- the war period |
he organized and had charge Of the !
extensive training Of the S. A. T. C.
units at the college for truck, tractor
and automobile mechanics for the
war.
In the fall of 1918 he secured q
leave Of absence for advanced study
at Cornell university, where he was
offered fellowship and received the
degree of M. S. in mechanical en-
cheering from Cornell. He was em-
ployed the following summer BY the |
Bell Locomotive Works as Develop
ment engineer and assisted in de-
veloping regenerative type Of
steam storage locomotive for use in
mines and such other places where
fire or sparks Of any kind constitute
a hazard. Upon return to the coll
lege at the expiration of his leave
Mr.. Dolve resumed his duties as
professor Of mechanical engineering
and was appointed acting dean Of
the school Of mechanic arts in thai,
fall Of 1926, to serve in that capacity 1
during the illness Of Dean E. ST.
keene. He was made dean of the
school of mechanic arts in July, 1928.
