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. Oregonian.

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

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

rider was thrown from his bicy

arose instantly, grabbed tho ani
mal by the horns, staring him

arid humbly walked back to tho
corral. Bill had won his laurels
and was tho horo of tho day.

(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.
