LOUP CITY - - - NEBRASKA
A HUMANE WORK.
During the meeting of the medical
association at Atlantic City, a sugges
tion was made that the women physi
cians of New York and other towns
of the north should co-operate in the
TTork or teaching the poor to avoid dis
'rase, says the Florida Times-Union.
Thus and individual work has be
come one of strength and union. The
physicians of the female persuasion
have already begun at their humane
task, apd the poor, infected children
of the crowded quarters will be saved
iby it. The great philanthrophy of this
movement can scarce be weighed un
til one realizes the want, the igno
rance and the disease that reign over
the tenement districts of New York.
The women especially will he taught
to take hygienic care of their little
ones as well as of themselves. What
is the use of supplying pasteurized
milk to the infants if the mothers
don't know how to feed it to them in
a cleanly, sanitary manner. Besides,
pasteurized milk does not disinfect
a room where baby lives, neither does
it make him immune from the dis
eases which attack his elders with
whom he is in too close contact.
Teaching the poor, ignorant mothers
is saving the race, and no other class
of women can be better teachers of
the miserable masses than the woman
who holds a medical diploma.
The state of Oregon has a unique
.game law. The last legislature passed
an act making it a misdemeanor for a
hunter to kill a deer that was being
chased by dogs, but at the same time
put in a proviso that prevents the
ranchers from killing the dogs that
chase the deer. It is claimed that
hounds protect the deer by chasing
them. This is the way it is explained
in Oregon. Hounds will rarely run a
deer down and kill it themselves, and
unless some hunter shoots it, the deer
will escape. But while the hounds are
.loose they will clear the woods of the
janimals that prey upon the deer. In
,the spring a wildcat will kill nine or
'ten fawns to feed its kittens, and the
inumber of wildcats is so great that
:they destroy more deer than hunt
,ers do.

From Alaska comes another news
item indicating the enormous possibili
ties of that once greatly derided coun
try. A ditch has been completed in
the Klondike region which is expected
to supply water for the largest hy
draulic gold-mining operations in the
world. It is believed at Dawson that,
within the next decade, the companies
included in this enterprise will extract
from $1,000,000,000 to $3,000,000,000
from the gravel of the region through
the new facilities thus afforded. Yet a
few years ago the Klondike was un
known and the whole of Alaska wr.3
regarded as of little or no account.

I!I-Fated Attempt of

The name of Dr. Frederick A. Cook,
the intrepid American explorer, will
go down in history as having solved
a problem that has battled the niosi:
daring spirits for centuries past. His
successful feat in locating the long
sought north pole is considered ail the
more remarkable because of the iact
tlsat in tiie tinul dash he was the only
white man in the party, having been
accompanied only by two hardy Es
kimos.

lound tne character of the ice im
proved, the floes much larger, and the
leads narrower, but increased in num
bers.
He noticed also that all the cracks
in the ice were at right angles to their
course and that the ice on the north
ern side* of the cracks moved much
more rapidly than that on the south
ern.
The dogs began to give out under
the strain, and as they dropped Peary
fed them to the surviving animals. He
pushed on until March 21, when he
looked at his worn out. dogs and al
most empty sledges and decided to
turn back.

"with as good grace as possible for

undertaking that has attracted many
adventurous spirits since the middle
of the nineteenth century, and for
hundreds of years before tiiat intrepid
European explorers had been sacri
ficing life and limb in an endeavor to
find a northwest or northeast passage
i through the ice fields to the wealth
! of the orient.
The best previous record to Dr.
Cook's reported final triumph was that
! of Capt. Robert Tv Peary, who oa
April 20, 1900, reached a litititde of ST !
i degrees 0 minutes north, or a station j
I within 200 statute miles of the pole. |
! This was Peary’s third attempt to |
I reach the much sought spot, and he j
now is at Utah, on the west coast of |
j Greenland, prep.ving for his fourth i
! dash into the northern ice fields.
Peary started on his sledge jour
i ney over the ice field about three
j weeks earlier in the season—February |
| 28, 1906. to he exact. Peary left land :
I at Point Moss. Peary had 21 Eskimos i
and 120 dogs. He divided his party
into several divisions, his idea being
to keep in touch through these differ
ent divisions with a base of supplies.
Pearv found the sledging for the first
80 miles from land rough and progress j
slow.
Six Days' Travel Without Sun.
He had his first glimpse of the sun
six days after he had started. As the
party got further from land, however,
the sledging improved, but the leads,
or openings in the ice, became more
frequent. On tile sixth day out, at S4
degrees OS minutes north, Peary and
his party struck a lead that held them
up for nearly a week. They finally
got across, over a two-mile stretch of
young ice. Then they were held up
lor six days more by a terrific wind
and snow storm. When they were
ready to resume their march pole
ward they found they had been carried
I 70 miles to the eastward by the Hoc.
Capt. Peary sent two Eskimos Juack
to establish connections with the di
visions behind. The Eskimos returned
after three days and reported that
they found only open water. Peary
could no longer depend on his support
ing parties and he made up his mind
that a quick dash for the pole was his
only hope.
He abandoned everything that
wasn’t absolutely necessary and start
ed, his men trotting behind him in
Indian file. In ten hours they made
20 miles. As Peary advanced he
compared with the splendid jewel for
which 1 was straining my life."
Fesry Plants Flag in lea.
Peary planted a flag on the highest
pinnacle of the ice field and left a
bottle containing a record of his ex
pedition. On the return trip an ice
bridge spanning a lead gave way with
the Peary party and set them adrift
on a floe. They were carried east
steadily for five days until they were
obliged to use their sledges for fuel
and some of the dogs for food. They
finally succeeded in crossing the lead
on young ice which sagged with every
step. On May 12 Peary and his com
rades landed ou the north coast of
Greenland, and there met one of the
supporting divisions which also had
drifted to the land on an ice floe.
Until Peary’s third attempt the duke
of the Abruzzi’s expedition held the
record in the struggle to gain the
pole. On March £2, 1900, the duke
and his party were at a latitude of SG
degrees 33 minutes north. Unlike
Peary and L)r. Cook, the duke’s party
made their attempt with sledges from
the north shore of Franz Josef land,
establishing the base of supplies there.
When they started out they figured
they would have to make 4S0 miles in
45 days.
“Certainly," said Capt. Cagni, who
was with the duke on the expedition,
"it seemed overbold, even to ourselves,
to count upon a daily march of more
than ten miles.”
Aiier the duke's party got under
way they found actually that they
madi less than ten miles a day. al
though those figures were exceeded
a litiie on the march back.
The duke cf the Abruzzi's party
started north from Franz Josef land
February 25. They encountered vio
lent winds and bitter cold. On March
22 three men were sent back to estab
lish communication with the base of
supplies. They never more were
seen. It was on May- 11 that tbe duke's
party reached the latitude SG degrees
and 33 minutes. There two cylinders
containing a record of the expedition
were left. The party did not get back
to Teplitz bay until June 22.
Nansen One of the Hardiest.
Dr. Fridtjof Nansen ranks with the
duke of the Abruzzi and Peary as a
pole hunter. He made a record of
SG degrees and 14 minutes on April 7,
1895.
He started out v-ith his good ship
iram from the northern coast of Fin
land. His was the novel scheme of
| being carried in the ice floe to the
pole. His vessel entered the floe on
September 22, but the drift carried it
toward Spitzbergen rather than to
ward the pole. Dr. Nansen decided
that he would have to leave the ship
and make a trial with sledges.
He left the Tram, and with 2S dogs,
three Eskimos, and two skin canoes,
started out over the ice on March 13,
1895. In 17 days he had reached a
latitude of SC degrees and 1! minutes
north. At that time this was 170
geographical miles further north than
the best previous record, made bv
Lockwood back in 1NS2.
Nansen was 261 statute miles from
the pole, equal to the distance from
New York city to the southern boun
dary of the White mountains. Nansen
had i -any hardships in getting back.
He lived for ten months in a. house!
built of stones, with a walrus Hide
roof and the whole buried in snow.
He finally was picked up off Cape
Flora by the Jackson expedition, which
had spent two years in Franz Josef
land. He arrived at Yardo. whence
he had sailed, on August 13, 190G.
About a week later his ship Tram,
which had been carried for years in
the ice floes, reached the same port.
The Norsemen probably were the
first Europeans to visit the arctic re
gions and Greciand. The struggles to
And a short cut to the riches of the
far east were more productive of ad
ventures and loss of life than the
later day dashes for the pole.
Sir Hugh Willoughby sailed in 1553
, for the search and discovery of north
ern parts of the world.” He discov
ered Nova Zambia, but starved with
most of I;is men in Lapland on the re
turn voyage.
Frobisher in 1576 and Davis in 1533
made voyages to Greenland and the
j north coast of America. Henry Hud
on in 1607 reached latitude 73 de
; t rees on the eastern coast of Green
land and added to the knowledge of
Spitzbergen, which was discovered by
a Dutchman, William Barents, in 15S5.
Through the seventeenth and eigth
oentli centuries more and more
knowlt dge of the arctic was gained,
and in 1707 Capt. Gilies made a voy
age far to the eastward along the
shore of Greenland and saw high land
which since lias been Gilies land, in
the latitude of 80 degrees north.
American Takes Whalers’ Record.
Capt. Scoresby, in command of a
whaler, succeeded in advancing his
siiip. tlie Resolution, as far north as
SI degrees 12 minutes 42 seconds in
180G. This was the record until Lieut.
Edward Parry, an American, reached
latutude S2 degrees 45 minutes in an
attempted dash for the pole from the
northern coast of Spitzenberg in 1S27.
The ill-fated expedition of the Eng
lish admiral, Sir John Franklin, indi
rectly was responsible for much val
uable arctic exploration. Sir John
sailed on May 19. 1845, with two shins
and 129 men to make the long desired
northward passage. The ships were
last seen in Baffin’s bay on July 26 of
that year, in latutude 74 degrees 48 min
utes. No great anxiety was felt in
England until 1S4S, and in that and
succeeding years expedition after ex
pedition was sent, out to search for
the missing Sir John and his crews.
Rescue Efforts Add tci Knowledge.
In ail, about La rescue expeditions
set out from England and America
between the years 1S4S and 1854, and
each added to the general fund of arc
tic geography. Finally traces of the
missing ships and crews were discov
ered through Eskimos, and in 1859 j
three sledging parties from Sir (,eo- !
pold McClintock's relief expedition dis- I
covered all along the west and south i
coast of King William's island the re
mains of articles and skeletons that j
told the story of the disaster.
A record was discovered in a cairn j
at Point Victory which briefly told the !
history of the expedition up to April
25, 1848. The record tells the tale of
Franklin’s death and the beginning of
the end in these words:
"April 25, 1848, H. M. ships Terror
and Erebus were deserted on April
22, five leagues north-northwest of
this, having been besot since Septem
ber 12, 1846. The officers and crew,
consisting of 105 souls, under the
command of C'apt. F. R. M. Crozier.
landed here in latitude 69 degrees 41
minutes. Sir John Franklin died
Juno 11. 1847. and the total loss by
deaths in the expedition has been to
this date nine officers and 15 men.”
The disaster which overtook Sir
John led to the discovery of 7,000
miles of coast line. Among the ex
peditiones which started out from j
America as a result ot' the interest
aroused were those of I)e Haven and :
Griffith, 1850, and of Hr. Kane, in 1853,
and later of Dr. Hayes and Hall.
Andree Only Serious Balloonist.
The only really serious balloon at- ;
tempt that ever has been made to
reach the pole was that of Andree. a
Xorweigiau, and that probably has j
ended fatally. Andree started from
Dane’s island, Spitzbergen. on July 11,
1897. In the balloon with him were
D. S. T. Strindberg and Herr
Fraenckell. His balloon was 67 feet
in diameter with a capacity of 170,000
cubic feet.
He estimated that he would reach
the pole in six days, provided a favor
able and constant wind was blowing.
Two days after he departed a message
was received from Andree, by carrier
pigeon. The message said that at
noon, .July 12, they were in latitude
82.2 degrees and longitude 15.5 de
grees east, and making good progress
to the east, ten degrees southern.
A year later Eskimos brought into
Hudson bay pieces of cordage and
basket work which are supposed to
have belonged to the Andree balloon.
Several expeditions have been sent
in search of him without result.
Costly Foundations.
The cost of foundations for new
buildings in Xew York runs at t ines
into very high figures, says the Scien
tific American. The contract for the 1
foundation work of the new 25-story
municipal building to be erected at
the Urooklyn bridge entrance has just

THE SPANISH FLAG IN KANSAS
m me nortnwestern part or Kepub*
lie county, Kansas, on the site of an
old Pawnee Indian village, stands a
granite monument erected by tlie
state, commemorating a unique inci
dent in American history. Here on
September 29, IS06, Gen. Zebulon
Pike, leading a straggling band of
American soldiers on an exploring ex
pedition through the unknown coun
try beyond the Mississippi river, came
upon a Pawnee village in which a
Spanish flag was flying. After much
maneuvering and almost at the point
of the bayonet Pike forced the Indians,
who outnumbered his command ten to
one, to haul down the Spanish flag
and hoist the Stars and Stripes in its
place.
Women of Ideal Form.
There is no longer a perfect type of
woman, such as the Greeks admired.
There is the ideal short woman and
the ideal tall woman,' but they are
very different. Artists say that the
short woman should measure as fol
lows; Height, 5 feet 4 inches;
neck 12T,£ inches; bust, 36 inches;
waist, 21 inches; hips, 37 inches;
round the largest part of the forearm,
below the c-lbow, 11 inches, which
should gradually taper to six inches
around the wrist. Here are the pro
portions of the correct tall woman:
Height, 5 feet S*4 inches; bust, 36
inches; waist, 25 inches; hips, 42
inches; top of arm, 14 inches; wrist,
G inches; thigh, 22 inches; caif. 14
inches; ankle, nine inches.

Thomas Simpson, the Detroit mall

person, but once he made a joke.
He was sitting with a party of
friends, one of whom was smoking an
enormous cigar. The friend had difli
culty in keeping the cigar going, and
by liis repeated lightings had frazzled
the end of it until it was about twice
its original size. But he kept bravely
at it.
Suddenly Simpson began to laugh.
