Bernt BdLchen Set
To Fly Giant Plane
North With Supplies

BOSTON, March 10 G.N.S0
With it's nose pointed northward,
a giant amphibian airplane today
at East Boston Airport awaited
the. touch of BerntS Balchen,
hero of two Arctic flights, to
send it soaring through the skies
to the aid of the survivors Of
the sealing steamer Viking dis
aster marooned and starving on
Horse Island, Newfoundland.
The plane carries food and
medical supplies to the survivors
reported in distress on barren
Horse Island in the far north.
Balchen stepped from a special
car of a railroad train from New
Haven, Conn, and was ready for
the take-Off but a slight delay
developed:
Tanks Delay Trip
R. J. Barbin, one of the pilots
who came here with Balchen,
took off for Long Island, New
York, to bring back three 60
gallon auxiliary tanks which the
giant amphibian needs for the
long and hazardous trip to the
ice-bound northland. The expe-
dition was delayed pending the
arrival of the tanks.
Balchen inspected the plane
after Barbin had started for
Farmingdale, L. l., then went to
a hotel to rest. He said:
'T'm afraid it will be close
to midnight before we can get
away"
Balchen desires enough gaso-
line capacity for a seven-hour
maximum cruising radius from
Harbor Grace. Newfoundland, in
order not only to drop food and
medical supplies on Horse Island
but to scan the ice floes for a
trace of Varick Frissell. head of
the Inflated Viking disaster.
Need Second Plane

cure another plane from Bridge

elsewhere with at least a 420-
gallon gasoline capacity. but none
was found already equipped.
Leaving the East Boston air.
port, the ship heads for HarbOr
Grace, Newfoundland, which will
be made the base Of operations.
From there, it will fly to Horse
Island and drop food and medi-
cal supplies.
Seven Hour Cruising Radius
The installation of an auxili-
ary gasoline tank gives the air
plane a total capacity of 800 gal
Ions and allows the fliers cruis-
ing radius of seven. hours.
Randy EnsIOw and Barney Bar
bin, veteran pilots, accompanied
by Jack Penny, John SchOpen-
hauer and Harry BierdS, mechan,
les, were the crew who arrived to
take charge of the plane.

Let's Hurry It Along
Walsh County Record. Cratic

walsh County Record, Grafton, N. d.
North Dakota is faced with a very serious situation
as a result OF the passage OF the capitol building by the
house of representatives of the legislature without the
emergency clause attached to it. While the bill COM
manded a majority vote in that branch of the legisla-
ture. it failed to muster the necessary two thirds required
for the emergency clause.
AS the bill now stands, assuming that it passes the
senate. 1t will not become a law until July !. In the
meantime the jamestown boosters will undoubtedly file
the 1000 petitions necessary to refer it to a vote of the
people. In the ordinary course of events this vote will
not take place before March. 1882. In the same election
would come a vote on the proposition to move the CAPT.
toll to Jamestown.
If the present impasse continues, North Dakota will
be without a capitol building for the next three years
at least.
It must be evident to anyone with eyes to see or ears
to hear, that North Dakota will have to vote on the
settled. A vote on the question will settle 1t for all
time. Would it not be sensible then, to have this vote
as soon as possible and at a time when the capitol re-
moval proposition would be the only thing considered?
Why delay the inevitable and continue the state gov
eminent in disorganization? Let's get the matter settled
and the new capitol building under construction as soon
as possible.
This newspaper does not pretend to know just how this
can be brought about. It understands, however, that
the governor has the authority to call a special election,
such as suggested. 1t may be that he will desire the sane
ton Of the legislature for calling such an election. If so
that sanction should be given at once.
There is no denying. of course, that politics has brought
about the present situation. Each of the two political
factions in the state will hold the other responsible
We suspect, however, that when the case is studied and
analysed by unprejudiced minds, it will be found that
both sides have played politics with the states mis-
fortune.

Playing Politics Again
walsh County Press, Park River, N. D.

CWalSh County Press, Park River, N. D.
The state legislature is playing politics again, betraylng
its constituents and eventually causing the expenditure
of $lOO, 900 or more of the taxpayers money at a time
when the state can i'll afford to spend such a sum to
crafty a small minority of the citizens of the state.
Last week the capitol commission bill providing for the
building of a capitol at Bismarck came up for vote. The
ma jority to include the emergency clause. This means
that the bill will not become operative until July LIST and
a special election will certainly take place before that
time to determine the location of the new capitol.
We have no knowledge of what the Jamestown capitol
removal proponents promised the NonpartiSanS. The
Nonpartisans vehemently deny they were promised any
thing. Common sense will refute their denials. 1t IS hard
ly likely 81 out Of the SO house members Of that faction
would withhold their support of the emergency clause II
a political deal was not involved.
The high sounding phrase, "the people OF the state nave
a right to vote on the matter means little. There has
been no general demand for such q vote. That the
jamestown people were able to get $4,000 signers to their
capitol removal petition means less. Many people will
sign anything anytime. We have no doubt we could get
several hundred sgners to q petition to have the local
~postoffice moved two miles out of town in . short time.
Many OF those who signed the, jamestown petition will
vote against capital re1noya-if they take the trouble to
vote at al.
In the meantime the building Of the capitol will be de-
laycd. The state Will continue paying 5000 q month
rental for TEMPORARY and unsatisfactory quarters. Bust
ness Of the state Will be neglected or conducted under
payers will be called upon to dig up an extra $780, 600 to
foot the expense OF a special election.
And after all the hullaba.oo and excitement the capitol
will finally be built on the same old site. A popular ad-
vertising slogan should apply: Eventually, Why Not
Now?"

Today Is the
Anniversary Of
BIRTH OF

w WI AzASAvANOo
On Feb. 10, 1873, Nicolas Copper
nicus, mathematician, and founder
of modern astronomy, was born at
Thorn. Poland.
At the age of u, after he had
graduated from the University OF
Krakow, C%opernicus was appointed
professor of mathematics in Rome.
About 1880 he wrote his "The Revo-
buttons of the Celestial Spheres" up
On which his fame rests.
Before Copernicus it was generally
believed that the earth occupied the
center of the universe; that the
changes of day and night are pro-
duced by rapid revolution of the
heavens; that the sequence of the
seasons and the apparent motions of
the planetary bodies are caused By
the revolution of the sun and planets
in orbits of various completely, sub
ject to the m daily motion of
all from east to west.
But the Copernican system rep
resents the sun to be at rest in the
center of the solar system, and the
earth and planets to move around it
in elliptical ofbs. The explanations
given by Copernicus for variation OF
the seasons, ETC., are, on the whole,
correct. He laid the foundation up
on which Kepler, Calico, Newton and
other scientists, built the structure of
modern astronomical science.

His Soldiers Loved Him

In the death of General Clarence r. Edwards the Unit
ed States has lost a good soldier and a valuable citizen.
AS wartime commander Of the 10Th division, which
had a distinguished record in France, General Edwards
proved his naettle as a soldier in a way that left no room
for doubt. He turned his New England national guards
men into first-rate soldiers. and won their admiration
and affection as did few other division commanders in
the A. E. F.
Indeed, it is that last statement that gives the best
measure of the man. Many American generals in the
World war cid not inspire the regard Of their soldiers in
the traditional manner. The sheer size of the divisional
units, and the strict discipline enforced throughout the
war, made this an impossibility for all except the un-
usual officers. General Edwards, literally, was the idol
of the Yankee Division. He needs no better tribute than
that.
