Many Improvements
At the time the refinery was
taken over in 1888, it con-
sisted of topping unit, Donnelly
cracking unit, two coking units
and auxiliary equipment such as
steam plant, tankage, etc. Since
1893 approximately $35O,000 has
been spent in undermining the

latest processes in refining and I
treating petroleum products. Among !
the new changes made is the re-

Tells Why Soviet Pliers May Still
 Live Today
By Vilhjalmur StefanSson

We do not know that the Lev anefsky party is still alive, but we do know that many polar eX- plorers have returned safe and sound who had been given up for dead under conditions which at that time, seemed less hope ful than the Levanefsky situa- ton does now. He had full ra- tions for sixty days, which could stretch ninety; he had good camp equipment, suitable clothing, and plenty of fuel in the gasoline which must have remained in their fuel tanks and which they would burn in their blue-fame campStoves.
 That the sea water of the leads in this neighborhood is filled with small animal life, that seals swim about in those leads de- .vouring shrimps, and that polar bears prowl hunting seals, we think reasonably probable. For, so did my third expedition find conditions two or three hundred miles southeast of where the Le- vanefsky party is supposed to have made their forced descent, and that is how the Soviet drift ing party led by Papanin have found things at the North Pole, some two or three hundred mil es north of the supposed descent. From these animals Levanefsky has chance to secure food.
 The Franklin Search
 It is in accord with the chival- ry of exploration that we shall not give up the search for lost explorers while, humanly speak ing, there appears to be even chance of their being alivs. Af ter Sir John Franklin, with his two ships and more than a hun dred men, disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, there was not Wor

 The search for Franklin was continued officially by the British government till 1885. His family and friends continued it until 1859, when Sir Leopold McClin- tock returned from his voyage in the Fox to bring definite proof that the last of the Franklin par ty had died,
 We know now that the search was already in progress before the last of his men died, and that they might have been saved had there been better fortune, or bet tzr judgment in just where the searchers went 10 look.
