While no human life existed In this newly discovered portion of the world, animal life abounds there, and In the waters fish live in greater numbers than in the tropics, which are popularly supposed to contain more aquatic life than colder waters. 1 The slrangest of all these antarctic Inhabitants is the penguin, and the motion pictures secured by Explorer Muwson show this half bird, half tlsh, In a most amusing and at the same time highly instructive manner.

WANT WESTERN MAN Pythians Will Elect Officers at Port land Next Month When the Supreme lodge Knights of Pythias convenes at Portland Aug ust 1 to 10, a strenuous effort is to be made to elect a western man as su preme vice chancellor of the order. It is equivalent to being elected su preme chancellor, as the invariable rule of the supreme body is to advance the vice chancellor at the next elec tion. In the half century of the history of the fraternity the west ha9 never had a supreme chancellor. The fact that the meeting of the supreme lodge at last been sent to the Pacific coast is taken to be given consideration, and the hope is entertained that a west ern man will be selected. Much de pends upon the local support that is given the candidates, and as a result of the prevalent understanding of this fact the western candidates will urge their friends from their own states and neighboring states to make the journey to Portland. California has high hopes of land ing the plum for Robert F. Burns, for many years a conspicuous figure around the Supreme lodge meeting places. "Bobby" Burns will be ac companied to Portland by every loyal son of the Golden state and if he fails to take back the honor it will be for other reasons than a lack of friends. Colorado has the other western can didate in, the person of Charles F. Do vis, for 20 years a representative of that state in the conventions of the Supreme lodge, and who had much to do with straightening out the tangled affairs of the insurance branch of the order. If Davis shall be elect ed it will be because of a vote taken nine years ago in the Grand lodge of Colorado, when Davis defeated by two votes a present resident of the city of Portland, Mark Woodruff, now em ployed by the Chamber of Commerce. Woodruff is a member of the Portland lodge, and is giving strong support to the Davis forces. He will be on the floor of the Supreme lodge to aid in bringing the highest honor of the fraternity to the west in any event. William Ladue of New York, and W. F. Broening of Maryland, are the two prominently mentioned eastern men who will enter the contest for the vice chancellorship. The election is to occur on Thursday, August 3, and it is expected to be concluded be fore the adjournment that evening, al though a number of ballots will be taken in all probability. R. L.

R Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that thin wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. t Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: "Our conference! have demonstrated that w cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinterested agencies. Therefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the railway! be disposed of by one or the other of the following methods 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribunal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its control of the revenue of the railways, is in a posi tion to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request Congress to take such action as may be necessary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose of the questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June' 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence. The rates the railroads may .charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern ment board. Out of every dollar received by the railroads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the em ployes as wages ; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public. The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its con trol over rates, is in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decision as would pro tect the interests of the railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare. .

Snnant Central Linea MARION OILS ROADS Sunday Loop Is Proving Popular Highway for Tourists Marion county has undertaken a mucn neeaea ana vaiuaDie road lm- i provement work in oiling its main ' traveled highway between Salem and 1 the north county line. The road to be j oiled includes about fifty miles be- j tween Salem and Clackamas county: line and is a part of the improvement ' incident to the permanent establish ment of the valley loop. Judge Bush ey, county judge of Marion, is an en thusiastic good roads worker and is alive to the benefits that will come to his county if the valley loop is made popular by means of good roads. The loop trip, taking motorists from Portland down the west side to McMinnville and Dallas and through Salem to the Pacific highway, thence back to Portland by the east side to Portland, or vice versa, is proving a very attractive drive. Already hun dreds of motorists have made the trip and Oregon City people declare the roads are in better condition than those over any like distance in the state. The route of the trip lies en tirely through Clackamas county and includes the county seat.
