"I own an empty palace in a strange
sountry," said a congressman who suf
fers from insomnia th& other day to a
Washington Star reporter. '"When I
am try ing to get to sleep I visit it. It is
i dismal edifice, built in the form of a
square and ever so many stories high,
with but one entrance at the front. A
corridor runs all around it, within, and
inside the building there is a great open
court upon which every room looks out.
There are forty rooms on each side of
each story opening on tho corridor. I
make it my business at such times to
inspect them. None of thein are locked,
because there is nothing to steal.
"I am obliged to examine all the
rooms, and for this purposo I begin
with No. 1 on tho northwest corner and
follow the numbers along- Each door 1
ionic to I must open, and alter looking

is a tiasomc one. ' I have to keep the,

jlse go back to the. northwest corner on
whatever floor I may happen to be and
begin over again. There is an indefi

or later I am bound to fall asleep. In

The Latest Schemes for Reachma
the North Pole.
Ships, Balloons and Doc-Sleds to B. Kass
ployed In the Efforts to SoIts) "
- That rrofoumleat of
Mysteries.
Find something so difficult of accom
plishment as to be deemed impossible,
and immediately . you discover that
there ere plenty of daring spirits ready
to risk life and limb in an attempt ta
prove that it is not impossible. For
more than two hundred years, says the
Boston Transcript, tho north pole has
been tho Mecca of forlorn-hope ven
tures. Disasters upon disasters have
not dismayed the scientific enthusiasts;
and Juno next Dr. Frithy, of Nansen,
an intrepid Norwegian explorer, who
has already won Ins spurs in this field
by his daring journey across Greenland,
will start frcci Europe in a small vessel
built cxprcsr.ly for the purpose and so
constructed as to bo able to withstand
the nippiags of the ice f.es tftiiieh sent
the .Jvuflhcttc to the umtom. The tern-
sol will bo provisioned lor live years
unit will carry strong small boats, sleds,
dogs, etc., for use in case of accident to
the ship. Nansen believes thatcurrents
exist in that region that have an easterly
tendency as far as the longitude of the.
Siberian rivers, where he expects to find
a northerly current which will bear
him north to within the vicinity of the
pole. He bases his opinion of an east
erly current or currents on the fact that
certain articles left on tho wreck of the
Jeannette in the opposite part of the
polar sea driitcd in three years to the)
coast of Greenland. Ho he will take his
ship to the place where the Jeannette
went down, and allow it to drift with
the ice lioes until the northern current!
are reached. In this way he will not
have to stem currents or resist ice floes,
but will allow them to carry him to his
destination. Northern currents, he
thinks, must be formed by the empty
ing of tne Siberian rivers into the Polar
sea. . .
Another scheme to reach the north
pole is that of two enthusiastic young
Frenchmen, who propose to drift over
the polo in a specially constructed
balloon. This air ship will be strongly
constructed of two thicknesses of China
silk, and will have a small interior
balloon, the object of which is to pro
vide that the larger envelop shall al
ways bo inflated. tour subsidiary
balloons and sixteen very small bal
loons will be attached to the larger one),
both to afford auxiliary gas and for
scientific use in determining the direc
tion of air currents at the pole. The
big balloon will have a capacity of
forty-five thousand cubic feet of hydro
gen gas and is estimated to have a
carrying capacity of more than eight
thousand pounds. The car is of novel
construction and looks like a small
house. It is to be made of wicker coat
ed with thin plates of steel and will b
water-tight. The equipment will be,
besides the five men and a number of
dogs, provisions for eighty days,
sleigh, an unsinkable canoe, scientific
instruments, etc. According to pro
gramme they will leave Kpitzenbergcn
in l!ic summer of 1K03, sometime when
a wind is found blowing directly over
the polo. They expect to be in the air
ten days and to land in Alaska or west
ern Asia. The scheme is not indorsed
by the French aeronautical societies.
A plan of polar research that is likely
to be of more practical value than either
of the above-mentioned expeditions,
which arc only to natii.fy scientific
eurio:,ity,ir, the scheme developed in Aus?
trali-.i for tho exploration of the Ant
arctic region. .Since the celebrated ex
pedition of :iir .bimes lioss in lWi9-43 in
the Krebns and Terror, no attempt has
been made to investigate this region.
However, in the frill of the present year
an expedition will iit out under the
command of llaron .Vurdonskjold, one
of the i:io:.t experienced polar travel
er., l-viaff. t ) explore the Antarctic dis
trict, and hope:, are entertained in Aus
tralia that new fisheries for whales,
seal:,, co l, et;., will be found, that will
prove of intrinsic value to the colony.
In:i lentally Huron Nordenskjold may
determine whether the Antarctic conti
nent is really a continent or an archi
pelago; ascertain the nature of the
fossil plants, animals, etc. It would
seem t'.iat this Antarctic region offered
a much broader and better field for ex
ploration than the Arctic. Ross pen

The above senators showed tbemaelve.
to be the friends of the oeonla. nnti in
favor of open rivers and water competi
tion to the seaboard forOregon produots,
Tbe senate bai made a serious mistake
in Toting down tbe Kaley bill for a seo
ond portage railway at The Dalles.
Tbe state has bjiilt one portage at tbe
Cascades, and there is argent necessity
to complete tbe opening of the rrver with
a seooDd state portage.
This bill ibould not be allowed to be
killed by a few corporation lawyers in
the setiHte, and a few, who for political
reasons follow tbe recommendation of
Governor Pennoyer.
II is a well known fact that if Eastern
Oregon bas to wait for tbe general gov
ernment to open the Columbia that sec
tion will be at the mercy of tbe corpora
tions for generations to come.
Tbe objection thnt Idi.bo end Wh.
ington would be benefjlted by a state
portage built by Oiegcn is lutile, for tbe
more they ship over it tbe less it will
cost Ibe people of Oreton to shin thuir
own productp.
Tbe FPnste tbould rocorjsider tbe vote
on 1 lie Rnley bill. If it dees not Ihfre
are .ever appropriation bills for Wil
lHtnelle vnlley insliintions, to sny rjclh

iDOonvenif nee in raange.

able favor by many lm rubers. Tin's
monry is supi ofed to be devoted tolely
lo the purpose of building ond improving

decided against legislative Appropria
tions for such a purpose, (bis disposition
of Ibo funds, on some plno, is consider
ed t lie best that cnu be made.

From Wednesday's statesman.
The first bill that bas failed to pars tbe
euati was Senator Blackman'i wbioh
eame tip yesterday. It called for an ap
propriation of 85,000 for tbe construction
of a public bridge across the north fork
of tbe John Day river on tbe Heppner
ConyoD City road. Tbe ol jfct was a
good one and many of the senators reo
oiiuized it, bnt tbe reason it failed to
pass was that it was considered uncon
stitutional, according to a decision ren-.
di red by tbe supreme court of this state
in tbe ease of Maxwell vs. Tillamoonk
county, in wbioh it was held tbat the leg
islature could not legally appropriate
money for such purposes. Tbe aotion of
Ibe stoats yesterday will kill a large
number of such bills. Heuetor Maxwell,
for one, had a bill prepared to appropri
ate $21,000 for a publio wagon road from
Ibe west line of the OraDd Ronde Indian
reservation down Slab oret-k and along
the coast over Cape Lookout to the south
boundary of Clatsop county, pasting
through Tillamook and Bay City, but no
effort will be made to introduce it now,
although its objeot waa a good one.
the bill to distribute tbe 5 per cant,
fund now in tbe bands of the Mate trrin.
nrer, biob was introduced simultane
ously by Senator lilac knian, or Morrow,
and Representative King, of Malheur, is
now in tbe hands of tbe committee oud
will be reported today. Tbe governor
favors tbe plan of distributing the money
according to area of tbe counties and
Senator iiliickniim, in ai swer to the ns
oerlion tbat tbe Eiutero Oregon coouliig
would secure the largest share of the
fund, snid the middle and western por
tions of tbe Btnte had beeu remembered
Ht various times by way of appropria
tions, for bcIhiiiIh, tvrigon r"de, eio.
