THURSTON PRICEVILLE NORTH POLE CONQUERED All in this community are bu'sy planting gardens and crops, and the weather has been most favourable the past couple of weeks. Mr. J. McGillivray has sold his Ford touring to Mr. Frank Riley and has purchased a new Ford coupe in- istead. Communion was observed at the Asst. Editor [ Presbyterian church on Sunday and â- nBMMUM a very large crowd attended. | i Mr. Robt Dingwall of South Line, now of Toronto University, fileld the pulpit very ably in the United church CEYLON At last the North Pole has been on Sunday. conquered by man, not by the old method of dog train and packs, but by a dirigible, the modern metliod of travel. For years various expedi- tions have set outj to discover the North Pole and tremendous sums have been sunk by adventurous ex- plorers who endeavored to gain glory with their discoveries. The frozen north has always been a barrier for exploration parties as tremendous obstacles had to be overcome in the many attemps. No doubt the fw north will be forever impervious to the overland route to the pole by Explorers. Formerly it took many months to make a few hundred miles, but now the Pole has been conquered within forty-eight hours from the time the expedition set forth from Spitcbergen, Norway, with Captain lUold Amunsden, famous Arctic ex- plorer, as leader. The reports from the members of the expedition show that there was no land discovered around the North Pole, but ice and open watfer was found and rocks dis- cerned. Now that the trip has been made over the Pole it is likely that interest will somewhat wane with re- spect to that goal since the momen- tous journey by Captain Amunsden and his gallant staff, which has con- nected the continents of Europe and North America by the Pole route.
