Sl.N'CK the year 1840 no null hud been within the antarctic circle over the CO degrees of longtitude until the
Muwson expedition arrived in 11)11, and before the year 1840 uo evidence had been found that aiiy human
being had ever ut any time been In that portion of the world, and the existence of lund there lias always
been doubted by geographers.
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. Having
no experience with man, they were found to be remarkably tunie, and exceptionally Intimate views were secured.
These tllms were secured for the Chautauqua at great expense and are said to be the most costly Alms ever made,
costing over $300,000. ' ,

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.

Federal Inquiry or
ailroad Strike?
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. .

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.
Helgerson Divorce
Complaint was filed early this
week by Anna Helgerson against
Lewis Helgerson after forty-five
years of married life, asking for di
vorce on the grounds of cruelty and
non-support. In her allegations Mrs.
Helgerson states that her husband has
been guilty of cruel and inhuman
treatment, of personal indignities
against her and as only partially sup
porting her. The couple was married
at Ferryville, Wis., on October 8,
1871.
