PLATINUM "FAKE" IN OREGON Members of Party Trembling With Anxiety When True Aim of Rifle man Ended the Crisis. Some one has estimated that in the century-long effort to reach the North pole 400 lives and 200 ships were lost. One of the earlier expeditions was the one led by Doctor Kane In 1S53, consisting of 19 men. The account of their hardships as told in "The Siege and Conquest of the North Pole," by George Bryce, Is almost incredible, re lates the Yputh;s Companion. Scurvy and the bitter cold made the sunless arctic winter of 140 days a continuous and horrible nightmare. Their brig, Advance, was frozen Into the great Ice pack, which even the re turning sun' of Bummer could not loos en. With scanty supplies they were compelled to spend a second dreary winter in the arctic, during which several of the party succumbed to sickness and exposure. In June, when their provisions were virtually gone, a narrow channel opened, and the survivors, manning two small boats, fought their way southward. Starvation quickly weakened their ef forts, but at that desperate crisis they sighted food a seal. Doctor Kane thus describes the incident: "It was an nrsuk, and so large that I at first mistook it for a wnlru;. Trembling with anxiety, we prepared to crawl down upon It. We stationed Peterson, with the large English rifle. In the bow, and drew stockings over the oars as mufflers. As we nenred the animal, our exr.itement beenme so Intense that the men could hardly keep stroke. I had a set of signals for uch occasions thnt spared us the use of the voice ; and when we were nbout 300 yards off, the oars were taken in, and we moved In deep silence with a single scull astern. "The seal was. asleep, for It reared its head when we were almost with in rifle shot, and to this day I cun remember the hnrd, careworn, almost despairing expression of the men's thin faces as they saw it move; their lives depended on its capture. "I depressed my hand nervously as n signal for Peterson to fire. The boat, noiselessly sagging ahead, seemed to me within certain range. Looking at Peterson, I saw thnt the poor fellow was paralyzed by his anxiety; he was trying vainly to obtain a rest for his gun against the cutwnter of the boat The seal rose on Its fore flippers, gaz ing at us for a moment with fright ened curiosity, and colled Itself for a plunge. At that Instant, simultane ously with the crack of the rifle It re laxed its length on the Ice, and at the very brink of the water fell help less to one side. "With a wild yell the men urged both boats upon the floes. A crowd of hands seized the seal and bore It up to safer ice, The men seemed half crazy. I hud not realized how much we Were reduced by absolute fumlne. 'They ran over the floe crying and laughing and brandishing their knives, it was not five minutes before every man; was sucking his bloody Angers or mouthing long strips of raw blub ber.' "Not an unce of the seal was lost. The Intestines found their way Into the soup kettles; the cartllnglnous ports of the fore flippers were cut off and passed around to be chewed upon ; and even the liver, warm and raw as It was, bade fair to be eaten before It had seen the pot. That night, on the large halting-doe, to which. In con tempt of the dangers of drifting, we Geological Survey Explodes Report of Find of Precious Metals In a Western District. The present shortage of platinum and the consequent greatly increased price of the metal bid fair to result In a considerable Increase In the do mestic production of plutlnum during the coming year, according to the Unit ed States geological survey. At the same time, while legitimate miners are Increasing their production and to some extent relieving the country's shortage, other persons are using the interest aroused by the present nution-wlde search for the metal to make extrava gant claims for utterly worthless de posits, and some honest prospectors are led by false assays, made by in efficient or venal assayers, to believe mistakenly that they have valuable platinum deposits. Keports of plati num in some mythical combination "volatile pjjitinum" or "colloidal plati num" should be regarded as sufficient evidence of the Incompetence or dis honesty of the assayer. During the season of 1917 the geolo gists of the United States geological survey, department of the interior, spent much time In visiting platinum deposits that proved to be worthless. A notable example Is seen In the sup posed platlniferous sands of the Des chutes river, near Terrebone, Ore. The material collected there con sists of loosely cemented dark volcanic sand and conglomerate Interhedded with basalt and volcanic tuIT. The bluck basaltic sand Is supposed to have the richest content of gold nnd plati num, but neither In panning the ma terial in the field nor In the chemical tests made by the geological survey could any trace of platinum or other metals of the plutlnum group be found. Neither was nny gold found In the con centrates, anil It Is concluded that ma terial of this type Is very unlikely to contuin workable nmounts of gold. 4 , jMAXTNE ELLIOTT Ooldwytijgjcturcs In "Fighting Odds" at the Liberty Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday.

Airplanes equipped with machine guns run a certain degree of risk from nn explosion cnused by the flame at the muzzle of the gun.

AT THE MOVIES Liberty Thrutro. It Is made evident in the produc tion of "Fighting Odds," In which Maxino Elliott, the noted beauty, makes her first appearance as a star in filmdom, that the producers havo overlooked no opportunity for real ism. There are two scenes In this photo drama by Roi Cooper Merguo and Ir- vin S. Cobb photographed at places which are widely known. Ono of those is at Sherry's Fifth Avenue, New York City, and the other Is at Sing' Sing. It would have been easy enough for Director Allan Dwan to have con structed these scenes, or something resembling them, at the studios, but since these places were named as such in the story, Mr. Dwan wanted the real thing. The scene In Sherry's shows the famous restaurant with Its many notables seated around the tables. Anyone who has ever been in Sherry's will readily recognize the dining room. The scene showing a vindicated and wrongly convicted man leaving prison and another going in to take his place was taken at the gate of Sing Sing prison. Henry CHve is the man coming out and Charles Dalton, as the corrupt John Blake, is going in. There also Is shown an Intimate view of the barred and screened vis itors' room at the famous prison. "Fighting Odds" will be the at traction at the Liberty Theatre Tues day and Wednesday nights. ANGRY HOUSEWIVES ARE THE WORST STUMBLING BLOCK (Continued from Page 1.1 conscienclousness Is needed. If the food administration Is to accomplish Its purpose of provisioning our army abroad and feeding the armies and starving peoples of the Allies, every American family must help. So that this need may be realized and the war consciousness be made more general, I earnestly ask all who are loyally supporting the administration to act as missionaries among their friends and neighbors, explaining the situa tion and with patience and tact en deavoring to bring those who are selfish or Indifferent to a realization of the fact that they are obstructing the food administration in Its vital war work. "It Is hard to understand, after all the publicity given to the conserva tion plans and principles for so many months, how any American family can still be in Ignorance of the need of Its individual cooperation, or of the fact that Its cooperation Is a patriotic duty. It la harder still to understand i Hotpoint Electric Irons, $5.00. The Power Co. how any Amcrlt-uti family not Ignor ant of theso things, can go on ignor ing nnd even defying the regulations cif the food administration.

This Is no trifling mutter, but a serious patriotic duty.
