Advices from the north state that the
people of Dawson have organized with
a membership of 200 the International
Society for Polar Research and Experi
ment says a San Francisco dispatch
The ultimate object after ascertaining
the most logical and practical plans Is
to launch an expedition for the north
pole
Governor W W B Mcluness of Yu
kon territory Dr Alfred Thompson
Inember of the Canadian parliament
Judges Dugas Craig and Macauley the
three highest magistrates of the terri
tory Major Z T Wood commander of
the northwest mounted police mem
bers of foreign consulates and others
were patrons and occupied prominent
places at the meeting at which the or
ganization was perfected
The scheme was originated by Dr
Anthony Varicle a Parisian inventor
and scientist now in DaAVSon who has
Spent some time in the Yukon and has
made research and study of the sub
ject of polar work
A statement setting forth the plans
Of the expedition was given by Charles
Macdonald clerk of the territorial
court of the Yukon
Yukoncrs he said found many weak
points in the methods of travel equip
ment and composition of nearly every
3oar expedition of the past In tho
Nansen expedition he said it was
shown by Nansens own book that he
Understood little of equipping and han
lling long distance expeditions
Yukoners handle them with much
more simplicity ease and skill Mr
Macdonald declared Nansen worked
te heavy skin robes and was immersed
in sweat and then chilled in the ice
thereof Yukoners travel in the light
parka and never permit themselves to
sweat
Xansen traveled with dogs weighing
pounds Yukoners never usb dogs
weighing less than 100 to 130 pounds
Hansen drove his dogs with each hitch
ed to a single sleigh and they always
Tvere entangled and caused intermina
ble trouble and endless delay Yukon
ers drive their dogs in tandem harness
have scarcely any such trouble
Nearly every expedition sent to the
arctic thus far has been composed cf
sailors men who are useless on land
-or anywhere but aboard ship Those
not military were largely so It is the
object and plan of Dr Varicle to draw
the great contrast right here He will
Lave none but the most experienced
mushers and travelers and none but
the most experienced and best trained
dogs
The question of fuel and sufficient
supplies to carry the expedition across
the ice is the sticker Dr Varicle pro
poses to overcome this with an auxilia
ry expedition of mules He can make
the mules last 130 days or more by kill
ing one every few days for food The
carcass of each mule killed will be
converted into dog food
Dr Varicles plan is to start from
5rantland and to dash overland or over
the ice 700 miles to the pole and then
continue GOO more to Franz Josef
Land straight beyond from Grant
land and to make the journey in 130
days or less
Ships will make connections at both
ends Each ship will be equipped with
wireless telegraph instruments with
Which the travelers can communicate
when within proper distance of the
ship The wireless will help to locate
the ship without delay
It is the plan to try out all experi
ments in the Yukon with Dawson the
headquarters this winter and to get
the expedition started next June
Plans to Evanprelize the World
Evangelism through correspondence
Vill be a part of the work of the Rev
Joseph P Calhoun pastor of the Home
wood Avenue Presbyterian church of

pose of the new department is to con
duct an evangelistic campaign through

JGUTE TO
Formerly a Private Garden of the
Dnke of Westminster
The first of Londons public roof gar
dens will be opened in a few weeks
at an electric supply companys new
transforming station in Duke street
Grosveuor square Westminster says
the London Express It will be laid
out in the Italian style and it opens up
possibilities in the utilization of many
wasted spaces on the top of London
buildings If it proves a success the
metropolis may soon be graced with
many similar attractions
The site of the building was formerly
a private garden belonging to the Duke
of Westminster but the corporation
obtained permission to build upon it on
condition that they made and under
took to maintain a roof garden which
should always be kept open to the pub
lic between sunrise and sunset
The architect has so arranged the
building that the roof garden is only
eight feet above the pavement This
was done by the ingeniously simple
method of putting the greater part of
the engine room underground The
garden is entered by flights of steps on
either side of two magnificent pavil
ions placed at each end and is bordered
by a handsome stone railing The
whole structure Is built of Portland
stone and the actual extent of the
open space available for the public will
be about 230 by GO feet
Among the attractions of the garden
will be an ornamental fountain while
flower beds will be kept gay with color
from early spring to autumn with
trees growing in tubs to complete the
picture Seats of course will be pro
vided and Westminsters garden in
the air promises to be one of the most
restful and picturesque spots in Lon
don
Dinners With Hurry Up Costnmcs
No indeed the love for dressing up
has not worn itself out in Newport
says the New York Press Though fan
cy dress dances naturally are not as
much in vogue as in winter fancy
dress dinners are proving a delight for
man The idea had birth in rainy day
boredom in English country houses
where guests were requested to come
to dinner in costume The shorter time
given the greater the fun as much in
genuity has to be used to make up a
dress from materials immediately at
hand An unwritten law of the game
is that there must be no consultations
with costumers and no unfair advan
tage taken of the resources of town
It is astounding what original and
amusing makeups can be devised
when time presses and dinner waits
and the diners derive far more amuse
ment from a dinner of this kind where
ones looks depend on ones ingenuity
than from one entailing greater outlay
Whistle For Wounded Men
A surgeon in the Japanese Red Cross
service has Invented a whistle whicn
emits a very loud sound with a slight
expenditure of breath It is for the use
of soldiers when they are wounded and
desire to attract attention

A fine gold watch was presented to
Ging YIck a few days ago on his de
parture for home in the Flowery King
dom says the Irrigon Ore Irrigator
It was presented by the people of Irri
gon in token of the high esteem in
which Ging is held and bore this in
scription To Ging YIck from his Ore
gon friends Aug 5 1903
Ging YIck lias left us and gone to
China the laud of his birth where a
loving wife and family yearn for his
coming He has not seen them for over
eight years and there Is among them
one son now almost eight years old
whom lie has never seen
Ging has been in the employ almost
constantly for seventeen years of some
member of the present Oregon Land
and Water company and for nearly
three years he has been at this place
cooking In camp in cook house and
finally In the hotel He and Mr Hoi
brook were the pioneers of Stokes now
Irrigon
There are people who do not like our
almond eyed Celestial friends They
call them chinks and think them an
Inferior race unfit to deal or associate
with To all such Ave would point to
our friend Ging He was a cook He
never posed for more than he was but
there is not a person in the state of
Oregon who did his duty better more
honorably and honestly or in a pleas
anter gentler way than did Ging
The editor of the Irrigator is not a
worshiper of the yellow man He be
lieves that for many reasons they will
never can never assimilate with the
great English speaking family But we
do believe in giving yellow men brown
or black men credit full credit when
they perform their duty exceptionally
well
And Ging did more than this He did
it always cheerfully always promptly
and he had the intuition to do the right
thing at the right time And over and
above and beyond this he was honest
clear down to his toes not because he
was watched or because he feared de
tection but because it was his nature
to bo honest and loyal and true
He goes to China never to return He
cannot come back owing to the laws of
our country but he does not care much
for he has been frugal and saving and
ranks as a rich man at home But we
often wish that there was some elas
ticity to the exclusion act some clause
that would allow such men as Ging to
go and come at will for we who know
him best know him to be a man who
would only honor our country by re
turning

Steal Xot This BooTc
lents of sociology who are fond
of tracing back the customs of latter
day man to the practices of his re
mote ancestry will note with interest
the fact that there is authority at least
GvJ years old for the entry Steal not
this book for fear of shame by which
schoolboys proclaim their ownership of
a work
In a curious volume in the Bodleian
library formerly belonging to the
monastery of Robertsbridge in Sussex
is the following inscription This
book belongs to St Mary of Roberts
bridge Whoever shall steal it or sell
it or In any way alienate it let him be
anathema maranatha
In the course of the fourteenth cen
tury the book came into the posses
sion of John bishop of Exeter who
seems to have been somewhat troubled
by the inscription as being likely to
give rise to injurious suspicions with
regard to himself Accordingly be
wrote underneath it under date 1327

I steal this book but acquired it in a
lawful way London Advertiser
The Tale of a Tab
One of the most ancient of all sea
yarns is one that ships have escaped
from the fearsome monsters of the
deep by throwing them a tub to divert
their attention in much the same way
that a landsman might sacriiice a gar
ment in order to escape a bull la
Muusters Cosmography published
in 1544 there is a picture of a vessel
escaping from a whale by this strata
gem while the earlier editions of
Swifts Tale of a Tub have a similar
one These stories were usually told
in such an incoherent way that people
became skeptical of their truth and
when a pleader named Tubb put a
cause before Sir Thomas More in out
rageously rambling language that chan
cellor jocularly remarked nere is a
tale of a tub Thereafter the expres
sion became part of the slang of the
period until much later it was raised
to a higher rank by becoming the title
of Swifts famous work
Styles In Africa
The women bore a hole in their top
lip and gradually increase this until it
is able to inclose a disk of wood two
and even three inches in diameter A
Mubira woman came to call on us
whose disk measured two and five
eighths inches across The size of the
wood inserted proclaims the rank of
the person Peasants are only allowed
to wear pieces of stick of the same di
mensions as a match
The weight of the wood causes the
lip to fall down over the mouth and
in order to eat it is necessary to lift up
this shutter with one hand while the
other conveys the food to the mouth
Frequently the lip breaks under the
strain put upon it in which case the
disconnected ends are carried back and
tied to the ear On the Borders of
Pygmy Land
Tlie Catamaran
The catamaran made of a hollowed
log shares the popularity of the Mas
soola boat with the fishermen of Ma
dras The rickety looking contrivance
can weather any storm in the skillful
native hands and letters are sent by
this means to ships in the ofiing Avhen
other communication with the shore is
impossible The catamaran requires
steering with a paddle through the rag
ing surf and though tlie boatman may
be frequently dashed out of the rude
skiff by the violence of the waves he
leaps into his frail bark again with the
efficiency of long practice and the cata
maran flying over the crest of the
great billows which threaten instant
destruction accomplishes the perilous
voyage In safety
A Hint For Iiovers
Being in love is very different
from loving and may be only a selfish
emotion which is the direct opposite
of loving Being in love without lov
ing is bondage sometimes pleasant
and sometimes painful but always
bondage says Leslies Monthly True
loving means freedom freedom both
for ourselves and as far as it is in our
power to give It for all whom we love
for when we truly love another human
being we love him for the sake of his
best strength his best use and his best
happiness and not at all for the sake
of ourselves
