Can Benton raise peaches? A box
of. culls from the "Blue Ribbon Peach
Farm," sent to this office by the owner
J. D. Howell, are . finer peaches than
any of the best southern Oregon peach
es ever marketed in this city. The
peach season here is practically over
and for several weeks buyers have
been picking over the Howell orchards,
but the "culls" look good to us. The
"firsts" were peaches of superior size
and color, the kind that one buys in
the large cities at fancy prices. "The
Howell orchard did not ship fruity this
year, the local , demand being an ex
ceptionally heavy one, and the price
for fruit on the trees amply satisfac-
tory. The Howell orchard is located
south of the city on "the Island" and
is famed far and near for the perfection
of its fruit.

That the women of this city will and
do patronize vegetable wagons that
come to this city was evidenced on one
of our streets this morning. The vege
table man happened to be an Albany
grower and at one time no Jess than
eight women were over-hauling his
truck. - At this one stand the visitor
was practically bought out, and went
on his way rejoicing, promising to re
turn next Tuesday.. There may be
fresh vegetables, and plenty of them,
at the stores in this city, but the women
will not go after them unless they know
that fact and they will not go then if
anyone will make a practice of serving
them at their doors: One of the ladies
made the statement that the Albany
man named nis stun over nere, gave
them fresher vegetables than they have
been able to get here, and sold them at
a much lower price.'"

Willoughby, Frobisher, Davis, Hudson,
Franklin, Nansen, Abruzzi, Etc. -The
best previous record to Dr.
Cook's i reported final . triumph , was
that of Peary, wno on April 26. 1906",..
reached the latitude of 87 degrees 6
minutes north of Greenland. Previous
to that time the Duke of the Abruzzi's
expedition held the record of latitude .
86 degrees 34 minutes, whichM was
reached on April 25, .1900, north of
Franz Josef Land. Nansen's record.
was 86 degrees 14 minutes, made on
April 7, 1895. '
The search for the pole has 'been a
quest which has drawn adventurous
men into the arctic regionsfor cen
turies. The Norsemen were probably
the first Europeans to visit Greenland.:
Sir Hugh Willoughby sailed in 1553
for the search and discovery... of
northern, parts of the world." He;
discovered Nova Zembla, but starved':
with most of his men In Lapland' on
his return' voyage. . Frobisher in 1576
and Davis in 1585 made voyages to
Greenland and the north coast, of-
America. Henry Hudson in 1607
reached latitude 73 degrees , on the-
eastern coast of Greenland and added
to the i knowledge of Spitsbergen,
which was discovered by Willem Ba
rentz in 1596. -
In 1707 Captain Gillis made a voy
age far to. the eastward along the
northern shore of Greenland and saw
high land, which has since been
Gillis Land, in latitude 80 degrees.
Captain Scoresby, in command of a
whaler, succeeded in advancing his
ship, the Resolution, as far north as
latitude. 81 degrees 12 minutes 42 sec
onds in 1806. This record was not ex
ceeded until Lieutenant Robert Peary
reached latitude 82 degrees 45 minutes
in an attempted dash for the pole from
the northern coast of Spltzbergen.
The ill fated expedition of the Eng
lish admiral Sir John Franklin sailed -on
May 19, 1845, and consisted of two
ships, the Erebus and Terror, with
crew3 of 134 officers and men. The
ships were last seen in Baffin bay on
July 26 Jn latitude 74 degrees 48 min
utes. No great anxiety was felt until
1848, but in that and "succeeding years
expedition after expedition was dis
patched in quest of the missing ex
plorer and his men. Between 1848 and
1S54 about fifteen expeditions set out
from England and America in the hope
of rescuing Franklin. Various traces of
the missing ships and crews were dis
covered through Eskimos, and in 1859
three sledging parties from Sir Leo
pold McClintock's relief expedition dis
covered all along the west and south
coast of King William's island re
mains of articles and skeletons, which
told the tale of disaster. A record was
discovered in a cairn at Point Vic
tory, which briefly told the history of
the, expedition up to April 25. 1848..
The record tells the tale of Franklin's
death and the beginning of the end for
the. survivors and stated that twenty-
four men had already died.
i This is all that is known of the fate
of Franklin and his men. The catas
trophe which overtook him led to 7,000
miles of coast line being discovered.
The interest aroused in America in the
search . led' to the expeditions of De
Haven and Griffith in 1850 and of Dr.
Kane 1n 1853. "Following these were
the American expeditions of Dr. Hayes
and of Hall. In 1871 Hall reached 82
degrees 16 minutes in the Polaris. :
Probably the most, spectacular at
tempt to discover the pole was that. of
the ill fated Andree, who set out in a
balloon and has never since been heard
of. V- ,

Alfred Frampton. F. R. I. B. A., a
well known Londoner, has written an
open letter, in which he says: -"The
time ' has arrived . when the
royal botanic gardens and zoological
gardens should be amalgamated.
"The zoological gardens should be
increased in area to receive the botan
ic gardens. , It would be a great public
benefit to have the gardens of the
flora and fauna side by side. - - .
vA monkey is a much greater attrac
tion than any .rose ever will be. The
zoological gardens are much more pat
ronized, by the million-than are the
botanic gardens, and consequently the
financial results follow suit." -
