CHICAGO. April 16. When th schooner Great Bear sails from Se ft!e about the middle of May, on fishing: and hunting: trip to the fa north a trip which has been planne partly as a faummer vacation and parti an a commercial venture ahe will start on a Journey that will take her about 5000 miles from Seattle and will not end until about the middle of No vember. Incidentally John Borden, Chicago capitalist, sportsman an traveler, and one of the vessel's own ers, will help the explorer, Yiibjalmu Stefansson if help is needed re-locate the continent he discovered in th polar regions. Mr. Borden will be accompanied by Captain Iuis Lane, lone: time a rest dent of Nome, Alaska, and for years a Kold miner, fur trader and whaler, and by three Chicago eueuu, who are ro ingr Just for sport Norris M. Hokum '. .Knickerbocker and It. B. Slaugh tcr and the schooner will carry I crew of 24 sturdy seamen. With Mr. Borden, Captain Lane is Joint owner of the vessel, which, in cluding her equipments, cost $75,000 and is 137 feet long. 32 feet beam with a. draft of 14 feet and a speed of even knots an hour. She carries three sails and, as an auxiliary force, an oil- hurninff engine of 160 horsepower. ll':r oaken hull is ehrathed in iron wood, a heavy timber from the Philip pines almost as impervious as its name indicates. Food Supply to Be Kiteailrr. The Great Bftar will carry 25.000 callons of fuel oil, and about 13000 worth of provisions canned vegetables and fruits, sugar, coffee, flour, meal nd salt meats enough to last the en tire Journey. A complete kitchen will be provided and will be in charge of a chef of long experience. A medical chest fitted up according to the list authorized by the Government for its vessels will be part of the ship's equip ment. No physician will accompany the expedition, as Mr. Borden says his experience in northern waters has given hi in sufficient training to handle any ailments, peculiar to the northern country, that might come to himself or bis men. There will be private staterooms for each of the guests and comfortable berths for each man of the crew. Cards, books and a big phonograph will be among the things on board to provide entertainment. Captain Lane, though only 36 years old, is as much at home in a boat on the Icy seas of the north as would be a landsman in an automobile traveling city streets. He has been a dweller in . the Alaskan country since he was child of 12 and has spent much of his time on the water. He will be in active charge of the boat as captain - but will co-operate with Mr. Borden in all matters of management except the . actual technical details of handling the vessel. It was Captain Lane who last August came to the rescue of the ex plorer Stefansson with timely supplies when Stefansson and the remainder of the original party that went to the northern regions with him had been given up for lost. Former Trip Rotable. Mr. Borden is well fitted by experi ence for his proposed long Journey Though he did not go but half as far north as his present plans will carry him, he made a notable voyage in the bummer of 1913 In nis 100-foot sailing yacht, Adventu-er. from the coast of Maine, around the American continent. through the Straits of Magellan, thence to the Pacific Coast and on to a point about 300 miles north of the Aleutian Islands. It was the delightful experi ence that he had on this trip that got the salt of the northern sea into his veins. The route of the Great Bear will take her through the Pacific Ocean for 2000 miles on the first leg of the Journey from Seattle, on which she will reach the Aleutian Islands, where, as she turns northward she will ex pect to encounter much floating ice. Three great sails and her powerful oil burning engine are regarded as ample to make the handling of the boat easy. Another thousand miles will bring her to the Gulf of Anadyr, oft the Siberian coast. Then she will pass into the Arctic Ocean and will circle Point Bar row through the Beaufort Sea and hav ing added another 2000 miles to the dis tance from Seattle, she will reach Cor onation Gulf, off the northern coast of Canada, where the Journey will end. The return will be made over the same route. The travelers on the "Great Bear" are going to harpoon the bowhead whale, which is valuable for its oil and whalebone, and will hunt with shotguns the eider duck for its valu able down.

As the result pf a serious ' case Pf mush room poisoning in a mushroom grow; er"s family recently, the mushroom specialists of' th JJnlted States De partment of Agriculture have issued a warning to commercial and other growers of mushrooms to regard with luaplclon any abnormal mushrooms which appear in their beds. It seems that occasionally sporadic forms ap pear in mushroom beds, persist for a day or two and then disappear. These art) generally manure-inhabiting spe cies and may be observed shortly after the beds have been cased. In the instance cited, however, .these fungi appeared in considerable num bers at the time the edible Agaricus campestrls should have been ready for market, and the dealer supposed it was probably a new brown variety and tried it in his own family. As a result, five persons were rendered absolutely helpless and were saved after several hours only through the assistance of a second physician who had had ex perience with this type of poisoning. In the opinion of the department, this case is peculiarly significant and demonstrates that the grower must be able to distinguish Agaricus campestris from any of the wild forms of mush rooms that may appear in the beds. Under the circumstances, the depart ment strongly urges every grower to make himself thoroughly familiar with the cultivated species. Complete de scriptions, with, pictures of poisonous and cultivated species, are contained in Department Bulletin 173, "Mushrooms and Other Common Fungi," which can be purchased for 30 cents from the Superintendent of Documents, Govern ment Printing Off lce.'Washington, D.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 15. "You might as well try to drive a team of horses through a stone wall as to try to amend a rivers and harbors bill in the House of Rep resentatives." The remark was made by a Congressman who vainly tried, day after day, to strike from the pend ing bill various items which were dem onstrated to lack merit. The House al lowed almost unlimited debate on the rivers and harbors bill; it placed no restraint on members who desired to assail it, but as regularly as a vote was taken, every item reported by the com mittee on rivers and harbors was agreed to and the bill passed in its original form. . As a matter of fact, the House had something of a Roman holiday while the rivers and harbors bill was under consideration. It was early demon strated that the bill was safe against amendments, for It was a carefully pre pared log-rolling bill, caring for enough districts to insure its absolute passage. There was little serious discussion of the bill, save by those members who undertook to show that many of the projects failed to have even the in dorsement of the Army engineers. Record Shows Debate Character, The character of the debate can best be shown by a few extracts from the Congressional Record. The House reached the appropriation of $35,000 for the Tombigbee River, In Alabama and Mississippi, and this is some of the dis cussion that followed: Mr. Madden I thought it would be beneficial to the bill if the Tombigbee were left out and this 3o,000 saved. Mr. Candler If you strike out the Tombigbee you cannot pass this bill. Mr. Madden I sincerely hope this item will bo stricken out that this $35,- 000 at least will be saved as the be ginning of the end of a fund to be used later on for preparedness. Mr. Mann The Senate the other day passed a bill for a bridge across the Tom Beckby, commonly called the Tom bigbee. I want to know the correct name of the stream. I want to know whether the gentleman from Missis 5ippi is going to permit the Senate to call this the Tom Beckby' River. Mr. Candler Even the Senate, if 1C were an august body of idiots, would not undertake to change the name of the Tombigbee, because if they did they would change the history of the United States. Mr. Sloan Why should we Invest any morrey on this river? It is Mr. Beck by's river! Persiflage Falls to Amend Bill. Mr. Mann The gentleman is wrong. This is the Tombigbee, and it belongs to the gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Candler. Mr. Moore Where the name of the river is spelled in two different ways, is it not entitled to two distinct appro priations? Mr. Candler The Tombigbee is en titled to a double appropriation regard less of its spelling. And after more of this airy persiflage the House agreed to the appropriation for one of the notorious "pork barrel" rivers. And so the debate ran on. The record of the House proceedings during con sideration of the river and harbor bill is filled with "(Laughter.)" There was more of an effort to provoke mirth than to discuss the merits of the vari ous proceedings. -The opposition to the bill was not taken seriously, tor ev eryone knew there were ample votes to pass the bill, regardless of protests.
