10 REACH THE POLE BY
MEANS Or AH AIR SHIP
"Build an airship; go find the north pole
and report by wireless- telegraphy and
submarine cables the progress of your
efforts." This assignment has been re
ceived and accepted by Walter Wellman.
Washington correspondent of The Chicago
Record-Herald, from Frank B. Noyes,
editor in chief of the paper. It is an
nounced by the daily press that Alberto
SantosDumont will superintend the con
struction of the dirigible balloon to be
used in the trip, and will ' pilot it toward
the pole. The . balloon will be built by
'Qodard, of Paris, before the end of next
April. ' No definite date has been set for
the start, but probably everything wilt be
ready by next July, or - early in August
At that time headquarters will be estab
lished inSpitzbergun, wheretne explorers
will await a favorable opportunity for the
trip. Mr. Wellman has already taken
part in two polar expeditions. According
an interview printed in the Tne New
York Times, he is sanguine of the result.
Ha is reported as saying:,
'Mr. Noyes acted upon no sudden whim
or impulse when he gave me the - order to
try to find the much-sought north pole, as
e had .before him a report, which I had
submittsd to him as the outcome of two
sits to the inner polar regions, of years
of study of the problem of the pole, of
many months of special investigation of
airship construction and navigation, the
wind, and climatic conditions to be en
countered, and all the multitudinous me
chanlcal and meteorologigal factors in
volved. "
In this investigation scores of eminent
experts and specialists were consulted,.
voluminous technical reports were tt
ceived. and finally a complete, symetrical,
and at least promising project was evolv
ed by ma as representing a seemingly
practicable combination of the latest de
velopment of many of the arts for ac
complishing the result in view.
"The problem of reaching the north
pole by means of an airship does not re
quire high spied, and the presant state of
the art of aerial navigation by gas-buoyed
and motsr-drivtii ships is ample for that
purpose. From an easily reached base of should we reach it."

A TRIAL SOLICITED '
operations in Northern Spitzbergen we
have but 550 geographical miles to go
to the-pole, and a like distance for the
return voyage. If we take the whole at
1,200 miles, it means but 100 hours of
motoring at 12 miles an hourv Santa
Dumont has repeatedly made frjm 19
to 23 miles an hour wiyi small airships
equipped with relatively small motors.,
"The airship in which we purpose to
attain the north pole will be the largest
practicable airship ever built, and
will' have an endurance capacity in buoy
ancy sufficient to enable it to remain 25
to 30 days in the air. It will carry 5.500
pounds of gasoline, and its distance capa
city during calm weather will be 1,800
miles more than the distance from Spitz-
b.fgttll fcuaigui. abiWM thw pc!c Zi the

"The ship wilt be equipped for safe
ancltoraje in the highast winds ever
known in the artic regions. In fact, the
ship w.ll be subject to the w.ll and hand
of the navigator just like a steamship
upon the ocean. Besides the 5,500
pounds of fuef mentioned the ship will
carry five men, a comfortable car in
(which is also a toat in case of need),
food and supplies for seventy-five dogs,
and a complete sledging outfit ready for
use should it be necessary to abandon the
airship and take to the ice
"At no time will our airship be out of
touch with the surface of the earth. Our
guide rope, so-called, but in our case a
smooth tapering line of steel, is to drag
its lower end over the ica, to keep the
ship at a fairly stable height (150 to 200
feet), the altitude in 3t favorable to wire
less telegraphy, and to maintain under
ordinary conditions the vertical stability
of the craft.

VW UTTU DIFfERENCf
Many think, honestly, that Osteopathy
is good for chronic diseases, but cannot
reach acute cases. By what principle of
reasoning ' this conclusion is reached is
hard to say; probably by no reasoning at
all. l he little nre just started is easier
to extinguish than the conflagation result
ing from it What is a chronic disease
but an acute disao.se mo.de permanent?
If the Osteopaths can reduce an Inflam
mation of many months . or probably
years standing, or restore the nerve force
long cut off. can he not the much more
easily control conditions of a few hours or
days' standing? Over 90 per cent of the
patients successfully treated by Osteopa
thy have been failures from other systems.
So many of the so called incurable di
seases have been cured that soma of the
best Osteopaths argue not to refuse to
give such cases a trial, and thereby re
move the last hope from the suffering.
But a reliable Osteopath will not take a
case unless he finds a probable cause of
the disease, which he reasonably may
hope to remove and cure thereby. Fail
ure and dishonor awiits him who does.

LA GRANDE, OR
RAMSEY-CROWS
One of the prettiest wedding ceremon
ies ever witnessed in St. Peters Episco
pal Church, was that which united Miss
Mary Elizabeth Ramsey to Mr. Samuel
Dean Crowe, last evening. Tha church
was tastefully decorated in evargreans.
Promptly at six o'clock the bridal party
entered the church to the strains of Loh
engrin's Wedding March, played by Mrs.
Lyle. passing through a double line form
ed by the young ladies of the Damen-
Kranz. all of w.nm evere prettily gowne-i
they reached the altet, precede
by the maid of honor. Miss Sadie Heeny,
where the beautiful service was conduct
ed by the Reverend Horacs Ramsey,
orother of the bride, according to the
impressive ritual of that church, the ring
sjremony being used. The bride was
daintly gowned in white crepe dechine
over taffeta, carrying a shower boquet
of White car.utions. The maid of honor
wore w.iite and carried pink carnations.
The bridi was given in marriage by her
father. Jude Ramsey.
' -After tne ceremony, to the brilliant
strains of Mendelssohn's March, the
bridal party left trie ciurch and returned
to tne bride s nj.ni. w.iere a dainty sup
per was served to the immediate rela
tives and friends. A number of friends,
having been informed tkat they were to
leave on No. 5. for a short wedding trips
were at the depot with .sundry package,
of rice and old shoes. 'to bid them God
speed, but evidently in sheer exuberance
of joy they had been transported to other
scenes, as they were not to be found
thereof elsewhere.
