Awakened In the course of a few hours
by drifts of snow about our feet, it was
noted that the wind had burrowed holes
la the weakspots through the snow wall.
Still we were bound not to be cheated
out of a few hours' sleep.' and with one
eye open we turned over. Later I was
awakened -v falling snow blocks.
Forcing my head out of the ice-encased
hood, I saw that the dome had been
swept away, and that we were being
buried under a dangerous weight of snow.
In some way I had tossed about suffi
ciently during sleep to keep on top of
the accumulated drift, but my compan
ions were out of sight and did not re
spond to a loud call. x
Eskimos Have to Dlff Out.
After a little search, a blow-hole was
located, and in response to another call
came Eskimo shouts and violent efforts
to free their bags, but the snow set
tled' on them tighter with each tussle. I
was surprised a few moments later as I
was digging their breathing place open
to fee! them burrowing through the
snow. They had entered the bag without
undressing and half emerged with shirt
and pants on, but with bare feet.
After a little more digging their boots
were uncovered, and then, with protected
feet, the bag was freed and placed to the
side of the Igloo. Into it the boys crept
in full dress. .except coats. I rolled out
to their side in my bag.
The air came in hissing spouts, like
Jets, of steam from an engine, hut soon
after noon of the 29th. the ice under our
heads brightened. It became, possible to
breathe without being choked with float
ing crystals, and as the ice about the
facial furs was broken a little blue was
detected in the west.
The dogs were freed of snow entangle
ments and fed, and a shelter was made
in which to melt snow and make tea.
A double ration was eaten and then the
sleds began to move again.
Scene of Crystal Glory.
Soon the sun burst through the separ
ating clouds and raised its icy spires In
a tower of glitter. The wind then ceased
entirely and a scene of crystal glory was
laid over the storm-swept fields. With
full stomachs, fair weather and a much
needed rest we moved with Inspiration
anew. Indeed, we felt refreshed as one
does after a cold bath.
The pack had been much disturbed and
considerable time and distance was lost
'in seeking a workable line of . travel.
Camping at midnight, we had only made
nine miles for a day's effort.
Awakening in time for observation on
the morning of the 30th, the weather was
found beautifully clear. The fog, which
had persistently screened the west, had
vanished, and land was discovered at
some distance extending parallel to the
line of march from ,the southwest to
northwest. The observations placed us
at latitude S4 degrees 50 minutes, longi
tude 96 degrees 36 minutes. '
Long Line of Coast.
In the occasional clearing spells for
several days we had seen sharply de
fined land clouds drifting over a low land
of pearly fog, and we had expected to
see land when this veil lifted. We had,
however, not anticipated to sea so long
a line of coast. The land, as we saw it,
gave the impression of being two islands,
but our observations were insufficient

COMET'S TAIL MAY HIT US
Halley'a Pet Nearest Earth on May
28, Says Priest.
CAMBRIDGE), Mass., Sept. 80. The cal
culation of Frank 'E. Seagrave, of Provi
dence. It. 1., that Halley's comet will be
nearest the earth on May 29, 1910. Is con
firmed by Rev. Father Oeorga Bearle, of
New York, superior general of the Paul
ist Fathers and widely known as an as
tronomer. Father Bearle base his cal
culations .on observations made at the
Lick Observatory, S2ptember 12, IS and
i and on th elements alven by Profes
sors Cowell and Crommel last March.
Father Searle states that on May 2S,
the earth and the celebrated comet will
be in heliocentric conjunction in longi
tude, the longitude being 236 degrees 48
minutes. The heliocentric latitude of the
comet will be minus seven minutes.
Father Searle says there will be no actual
transit of the comet over the sun disk
according to those elements, but that a
slight change might produce one.
"At any rate," he said, "It seems highly
probable that an May 2S we shall be Inside
the comet's tail."

TAFT'S HAND-CLASP FATAL
Child, 111, Meets President and Dies
of Excitement.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Sept. 30.
(Special.) The excitement of seeing
President Taft and of shaking hands
with him was too much for Muriel Vose,
a 6-year-old child, who has been in frail
health. She died last evening after the
Presdent had departed.
The little girl insisted on seeing the
President, and when he consented to
shake hands she was greatly agitated,
fearing sh would not be given the op
portunity. After she had shaken his
hand the relaxation came and she
gradually sank, finally passing away.
Heart failure, superinduced by the ex
citement, was the cause.

His utterances on this subject were
received with great acclaim.
When the President turned to Alaska,
however, and declared that he was op
posed to granting a territorial form
of government to that far-off posses
sion, the statement was received in si
lence. Alaska Ideas Cheered.
As the President proceeded, however,

a local government by a commission
of five or more members appointed by

Set upon and beaten by two thugs and
robbed of his gold watch, valued at $75.
at Third and Morrison streets at 1:15
o'clock this moming, R. R. Turner, a
Buena Vista, Or., merchant, was saved
from being robbed of a wallet containing
$200 by a plucky woman, who ran to the
scene and punched at the thugs with her
umbrella.
The robbers ran and were pursued by
the woman down Morrison street and up
Second street to Yamhill, when one of
the thugs turned and shouted to her to
go back or be killed. She then stopped
and notified the .police. :
The woman is Mrs. O. B. Young,
whose husband is employed in tho Stand
ard Box Factory on the East Side, liv

O. E. Tate, of 364tj East Oak street, an
electrician, employed by the Crystal Ice

was one of his assailants Turner attacked
Tate, beating him in the face severely.

came upon the scene, who separated
Turner and Tate. The police arrived on
the scene a short time later and officers
were detailed to hunt the thugs.

Just as the robbers fled, and gave chase,
passing Mrs. Young when she was com
manded to stop. They made no report
to the police.
One of the robbers iB described as being
tall, smooth shaven and wearing dark
clothes. This fits the description of a
man responsible for no less than a half
dozen recent holdups.
Turner Is staying at 250 Nartllla street
and had been In the city several days.
H was dazed when brought to police
headquarters and was unable to tell

the fact thatfSpokane enjoys special ad
vantages in rates which no other points
simllaj-lv situated are favored with," said
Commissioner Prouty, when the dry
goods rate was under discussion today.
Continuing, the commissioner said the
commission now proposed to deal with
the subject on a more' comprehensive
basis In which the relative rights of
Walla Walla. La Grande, Helena. Mis
soula, Salt Lake and all other points
similarly situated must be accorded the
same proportionate rates as had been
given Spokane.

not the onlv warning- of the coming storm
that was sounded in the dry goods rate
discussion. Attorney Barlow, of cnica

could readily see where a low carload
rate on denims and other cotton goods

he could not see where Spokane was en

Attorney Barlow was quietly boring in

for less than carload lots. At times he
was guarded in his Intimations regarding
rates and again he boldly stated his
clients would insist on a readjustment ot
these rates that would enabla the Chica

port of his contention that Spokane was
not entitled to the carload rate, he has
the language of the commission In the

this order the commission stated that
"the Seattle rate of cotton, ducks and
denims Is a carload rate Induced by
water competition. This commodity
moves generally upon any quantity rate.
We Bee no reason' why the rule should be
departed from In case of Spokane and
think that a rate of $1.50 per 100 in any

NEW YORK, Sept. 30. Tammany Hall
has accepted the candidate of the fusion
reform organizations for Mayor of New
York and has nominated Judge William
J. Gaynor for Mayor. This is the result
ot Charles F. jTurphy's. study of the
political strength which Gaynor could
command. Having concluded that it
would be dangerous to run any other
man against Gaynor and that he could
get rid of the Judge. at the end of a year
by nominating him for Governor, he in
sured the succession of a Tammany man
as Mayor by ramlng John F. Galvin for
President of the Board of Aldermen. If
this programme works out, Tammany
will be again in full control after letting
Gaynor have his way for a year.
The following ticket was nominated:
For Mayor Justice William J. Gaynor,
of Brooklyn.
For Controller Robert M. Moore, of
Manhattan.

The Tammany cohorts were so stroii
that they over-rode with ease the opposi

secure the renomination of Comptroller
