This information will be curious, of course, but not very valuable. It will bo surprising if anybody ever makes a dollar out of it. Dr. Cook him self will naturally amass a for tune by his writings and lectures, but nothing that he has learned from his voyage will ever profit tho world, in all probability, a single penny. Why, then, is tho world so ex cited over his achievement? Why are we so proud that ho is an American? Wo glory over Dr. Cook because he has fulfilled an io arrange matters tor worK gm.

Think what multitudes perished in tho crusades, how all Europe strug gled for centuries to gain posses sion of one little spot of ground in Palestine and counted no ex ertion or suffering too great which brought tho goal ono step nearer, And yet, apart from its ideal value, tho sepulchcr of Jes us was not a whit more profit able than tho North Pole. If Europe could have seized and held it forever she would havo been no richer except in spiritual possessions.

It is also lly as well known that this wealth wo arc all running. It las been thoroughly investi- seems frenzied certainity, but it and is now a subject for is tame indeed to the races men have run before our day for i prizes which couiu neither do seen nor handled. Nations havo waged war over a syllablo in a creed and multitudes havo died by fire for a hopo remoter far than tho boreal Polo in ita lone some setting of palocrystic ice. Much as wo parado our greed and boast of our material aims tho ideal after all is tho only thing wo really value. It is tho ' easily be figured out in tho only thing wo will dio for our- aed railroad from Eugene selves or feel justified in killing others for. Tho Arctic explorers, Peary, Nordenskjold, Nansen, Abruzzi, as ono after tho other thoy crept a few miles nearer tho Pole, wero animated by ,tho samo nm- lan who arrived at Princ- bition precisely as tho boy who Monday from Tho Dalles at sought to cut his name higher quest of Porter Bros., con- than anybody else in tho rock wall under the Virginia Natural Bridge. Everybody has read about him in dchool. Ho was not after money as ho climbed thoir energies? Perhaps thoy will begin a raco to tho moon in flying mnchincs. Bolter that by far than a raco to tho billion dollar mark. Arctic exploration did not be come purely idealistic until af tor tho loss of Sir John Franklin. That great navigator closed tho rolo Of tho earlier adventurers who tried to dlscovor tho North wost Passage. Ho sailed from England in 1815 with two vessels, tho Erebus and Terror, and nei ther Sir John himself nor any of his crow over returned. Tho English-speaking world was deop ly moved by tho tradgedy of his dissapearanco and ono expedition after another was sent out in search of him. McClintock, who sailed in July, 1857, discovered tho pathotic relics which told all wo shall over know of tho death of Sir John Franklin nnd his men. The other expeditions wero fruit less so far as that purposo wont, but each ono of them added a littlo to our knowledge of Aactic geography. They chartered tho shores on cither side of Baffin's Bay. They crept northward along the western coastof Green land. After McClintock'svoyngo Franklin ceased to bo tho object of search and tho exploration bo camo openly idealistic. Who could go farthercst along that desolate route? Gradually passage was worked out, a nar row strip of water between icc- cncumbcrcd shores leading al most duo north. Smith Sound, Kane Basin, Kennedy Channel, Hull Basin, Robeson Channel nnd Lincoln Sen, mark tho stages by which tho glory seekers forged northward until they had left tho Greenland coast behind and there seemed to bo nothing but ice betweed them and tho Pole. In 1002 Peary made his second brilliant dasji far beyond his predecessors nnd barely missed reaching tho 85th parallel of lat itude. European sailors, except tho British, have usually preferred to seek tho Polo by way of Nova Zcmbla or tho Spitsbergen Is lands, which run almost as far north as Greenland. The great difficulty of this route is tho con stant southern drift of the ico borno by tho Arctic current Ships are almost certain to bo caught in tho pack and inextric ably hold until they are crushed. In spite of that, however, Nan sen in low passed beyond tho 8Gth parallel by this route, while in 1900 the adventurous Duke of tho Abruzzi sent n party 33 miles farther still. When his men turned back they wero 3 degrees 27 minutes from tho Pole. This was less than 250 miles. Peary in 1900, upon his third voyage, pushed beyond tho 87th parallel by tho Greenland route, and now Cook, passing somewhat moro to the west, has bridged tho final gap of less than tlireo degrees between Peary's farthercst sta tion and the Pole.

Tho Roberta Bros, have been experimenting with gypsum from tho Bear Creek doposit in a small way on thoir ranch near Sisters and aro very enthusiastic over tho benefits to bo derived from it soys tho Bend Bulletin. Farmers in that neighborhood arc now planning to haul several tons of tho gypsum for uso on their lands. Elwood Roberts, who was in Bend a few days ago, told of tho results of their experimenting. Ho took a smnll quantity of the gypsum nnd ground it up as well as ho could by hand. lie then scattered it over somo young clo ver that was up only a few inch es, applying tho gypcum on spots that were not doing as well as tho greater part of tho field. The beneficial results were no ticed in a very short time, and whorover tho gypsum was ap plied there tho clover stands three times as high as where thcro was no such application. This has thoroughly convinced tho Roberts Bros, of the benefits to bo derived from tho use of tho gypsum nnd thoy intend to haul considerable quantities of it from Bear Crcok. Other farmers in that section havo noticed tho re sults of ths Roberts Bros', ex periment and also plan to uso the gypsum next season. While under certain conditions tho gypsum is beneficial to tho soil, yet it should not bo too free ly used. M. G. Coo of Bend, who is a graduate of tho stato agricultural collego of Missouri, warns against its too liberal and constant application. In an in terview with Tho Bulletin, Mr. Coo said: "In this western section, limo is generally present in tho soil in sufficient quantity for all plant food requirements, and gypsum is mainly of value on small areas of irrigated land where, from insufficient drainago, sodium carbonato (black alkali) has been deposited on tho soil. By tho application of gypsum (calcium sulphate) a chemical action takes place in tho soil, nnd tho sodium carbonate (black uN kali) becomes changed into cal cium carbonato, which is still alkali but which is not detrimen tal to plant growth liko tho black alkali unloss present in much greater quantity. "Gypsum has had a wide use in the humid regions of tho East to correct acidity in soils. Here, howovor, tho soil is generally alkali in reaction, and, as a rule, an application cf gypsum would ho of no benefit "It has also been largely used In tho commercial fertilizers ap plied to tho worn out lands of tho East. It has a stimulating action upon tho soil, making tho plant food moro readily solublo, and ubo always insures big crops for tho first fow years, but ultimate ly tho land becomes so run down that it will not produce crops even with tho nppllcotion of gyp sum and requires much tilling nnd turning undor of green crops boforo it becomes productive again," school.

Last Tuesday morning Robert Grant's calf broko loose. All of the horses wero gone, but William Grant was on thospotnnd mount ing his bicycle, waiving a four horse whip as a warning, he started in pursuit Round 1: Tho calf dashed fur iously round tho barn and cleared a three-wire fence, while Bill was splitting the air with his wheel and gaining. John Wolf was astonished! He had seen the flying machine nav igate tho air, and had heard fa mous orators deliver celebrated orations, their oratorical wheels revolving 2,000 times a minute, yet this calf raco was novel it was unique. Round 2: Tho calf plunged down a steep incline and made for the lake with Bill in close pursuit, cracking his whip and the perspiration strenming down his face. John cried "Let it gol Lot it go!!" "I shall teach this calf a lesson," thundered Bill. Round 3: Again the calf plung ed down tho bonk thrusting his noso into the earth, while tho rider was thrown from his bicy cle with tremendous force. Bill arose instantly, grabbed tho ani mal by the horns, staring him sternly in tho oye, at tho samo timo. giving him somo vigorous shakes. Tho calf was defeated arid humbly walked back to tho corral. Bill had won his laurels and was tho horo of tho day. K. (1K0AT HUSH TO TUB WEST. This week inaugurates tho westward sweep of what is clear ly expected to bo tho most stu pendous invasion of colonists that lias over poured into tho rich and waiting empire of tho Pacific Northwest. Tho fall colonist sea son, with its extremely low rates is tho loadstono which will draw tho myriads of prospective set tlors hitherto from ovory section of tho Middle West and East The Bcason will bo Bhortor, but it has been a prosperous year in all parts of tho country, nnd with tho unprecedented volumo of high-class publicity work which all commercial organizations and tho transcontinental railroad sys- toms havo been doing in tho past few months, all records should fall boforo tho tido of Autumnal immigration. Any railroad traffic official who ot all advised of the situation here, and in touch with tho con ditions in the East, will prophesy anywhere from 25 to 50 per cent "greater volume of colonist travel this fall than in any similar peri od in history. As further evi dence, if any were needed, nine out of every ten passenger traffic officials in the East who havo been hero in the past tlireo months, declare that tho number of inquiries from homeseekcrs aro nearly twice as numerous as they oyer havo been, and this has been tho reason tho traffic men havo como to the Northwest Thoy have been compelled by tho mere trend of circumstances to goY?ir8t-hBnd informaFiori about tho widely exploited wealth and possibilities of tho magnificent empire to which the oyes of the East aro now turned with eager gaze. The railroad companies have for tho past week or two been gradually rounding up their equipment and preparing to as semble it at the numerous gate ways to the Far West, at which tho hosts of homeseekcrs will be mobilized and routed to their fu ture destinations. This work will continue wiih increased animation from now on until the close of the lowrate colonist season, Oc tober 15, and the cry has already gone up that the transcontinent al lines will suffer a serious shortage of passenger equipment and motive power, with a result ant heavy congestion of traffic. ?
