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

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.

To Reduce Airplane Explosions.
Airplanes equipped with machine
guns run a certain degree of risk from
nn explosion cnused by the flame at
the muzzle of the gun. Hence consid
erable study has been devoted to ob
viating this danger, and a young Flor
entine chemist is said to have recent
ly given a demonstration before an
Italian military commission of a new
powder Invented by him which burns
without either flame or smoke anl
does not flare on detonation.

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.

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

how any Amcrlt-uti family not Ignor

support of til (i food administration,
if your support Is not 100 por cent,
speedily nmko It so, and then do whut
you ran to brln.s your friends and

a serious patriotic duty. Each family
Is an essential unit In the natlon'B

the plan Is of vital Importance to the
winning of tho war." '
