LAND OR NO LAND?
| Aienndsen Thinks That a Fertile and
Comparatively Warm Land is i
Guarded by lee ■ Barriers. (
I New York, May 14. —Due of the
largest question marks on the mien- 1
tide world may be straightened out ]
into an exclamation point before
another day, answering the question 1
whether there is land within the s
million square miles of unexplored ,
area between the North Pole and 1 j
Alaska, across which the dirigible,,
Norge is flying at the rate of a mile j ]
a minute. I (
me discovery or innu within this <
area, whioh would far outweigh in 1
Importance even the discovey of the
North Pole itself,, would give to I
Norway an air base of inestimable ,
value. If the flight of the Norge de
mands that there is 110 undiscovered
Arctic continent, then the world’s
last great geopraphicnl mystery will
be cleared up.
Roald Amundsen. Norwegian con
,queror of the South Pole and head
of the Norge's expedition, believes
that land exist within this area
which hns heretofore been a blank
spot on the maps of the world.
Flight of Birds.
On his airplane flight toward the
North Pole last year from Spitzber
gfn. Amundsen observed three birds
flying northwest toward Bering sea
“ They must have been bound for
land," he said. "It could hard y have
been Siberia or Alaska, aerss the
Polar wastes. Mdre likely it was
land on tihe other side of the pole.
This land, if it exist, lies within a
rough circle marked by the outline of
the known boundaries of Alaska,
Siberia. Spitsbergen and Greenland.
Its distance from known land made
it more inaccessible than the pole
itself.”
Scientists who join Amundsen in
the belief that an undiscovered Arc
tic continent exists base their theo
ries on more tnngib’e evidence than
the flight of birds, notably the drift
of ire ill the polar regions and the
ice itself. Something must hold the
ice there, they argue. It has even
been reported that land has been
seen in the unexplored area.
Admiral Robert E. Peary, who
discovered the North Pole in 100 ft.
reported that in 1006 he sighted land
northwest of Grant land, which is
the northen end of Ellsmere Island.
He named this land Crocker land.
Almost at the North Pole itself he
found the spor of bears and foxes,
which would seem .to indicnate the
proximity of land.
Captain John Keenan, a Troy. N.
Y.. whaleman, said he saw land to
the north while cruising in the Beau
fort sea in the seventies. If this
were true it would be ill about the
same place as Peary's “Crocker
land." But the Arctic’s secret is well
guarded. ■ The shores bordering the
Polar sea are utter wastes of frost
gnarled rock and. gravel abandoned
by ages of ice and bitter cold. The
ice itself always has been the great
est obstacle to .explorers. Vast ridges
are hurled up by the tremendous
pressure of the cvermoving, shifting
glaciers. There is no pence or safety
on---4t? Explorers must always be on
their guard against tile unseen, the'
unexpected- A storm so far away
that it can not even be seen may
cause an upheaval that will spell
disaster at a moments notice.
Amnndsen thinks that a fertile,
comparatively warm land is guard
by these ice barriers, land that has
summers similar to those of Alaska,
and green plant life.
Even the discovery of a small is
land would prove of great benefit to
the world, since it would afford a
connecting link between Europe,
Asia and America. The distance
from Spitzbergen to Alaska is only
about 2,000 miles, and with an nir
base between could be negotiated by
airpltAes in a few hours.
Any land discovered will he
claimed officially for Norway,
Amundsen announced just before
the Norge took off.
PEACH CROP IS SHORT
BUT WILL BRING MORE
Dr. Leiby Thinks Receipts Will
Total $300,000 Above Last.
Raleigh, May 14.—Sandhills will
produce a 70 per cent peach crop for
1926, according to Dr. R. W. Leiby,
official executioner ofall tne bugs
and pests which visit the crop, and
this 70 per cent will be worth SIOO,-
more than the 95 per cent grown
and sold in 1925.
Dr.-Leiby is handling the peaches
tenderly and he as made a thorough
survey of the damage done by the
late frosts. The damage done in
1925 was nil. There were 1,902 cars
sold and 2,100 raised. They brought
a total of $1,700,000. The maximum
possible for 1926 would have been
2,500 cars. The 70 per cent will
mean 1,750 sold refrigerated freight
ers not to memtion the several hun
dred broken shipments. Dr. Leiby
figures a big gain in the money
values.
The season is late, but at that ship
ping will begin within 60 days- Dr.
Leiby oes not think it likely that
any subsequent snnp will do damage
to the crop and the 70 tier cent saved
he expected to he a rich representa
tive of the sandhill peach. Other ob
servers have brought back much the
same story. In some of the peach
territory the damage was almost
nothing.
The high prices were saved and
the looser ones got stung. It is not
an uitylsual thing to go through
Montgomery’s upper edge and see
the tram standing 100 per cent. In
some low spots the salvage was
hardly 15 per cent. All these condi
tions are considered by Dr. Leiby.
And he never has missed the produc
tion since he began guessing ut what
has been done by the weather.
Shipping will be considerably help
ed this year by local freight rates al
lowing North Carolina business with
North Carolina tariffs recently fixed
by the state corporation committee.
But whatever may happen, the
outlook now is for the biggest ex
change of money that ever came to,
the sandhills for their crop of peach
es.
There are 70,770,008 books in the

THINK DELLINGER 18
NOW IN PHILADELPHIA
Man Who Thinks He’s Charlie Ross
Probably Has Gone to Investigate.
Greensboro. May 14. —Julius Cole
man Dellinger, supposed to be Charlie
Rush, n boy kidnapped in Philadelphia
in 1874, has been in Philadelphia
for four days, thim seems absolutely
sure. Heois thought to have gone
there when tie was reported to have
gone last Monday from here to Den
ver. He did not go back to Denver.
Desire to throw newspapers off the
track is said to be the reason for quiet
concerning Dellinger's trip to Phila
delphia.
Pierce C. Starr, of New York, and
his wife, the latter a second cousin
of Charlie Itoss, are at Cue O. Henry
Hotel, and Dellinger, a resident of
Denver. Lincoln county, was here
with them the last week-end. but no
information can be secured from that
source.
It does not seem reasonable that
Dellinger would go on to Philadelphia
by himself, without l f ue Starrs, but
the report came from an apparently
authentic source. The object of the
visit of Deliinger north would be to
see whether he could be identified and
could identify himsel, by seeing tSie
old home of his parents.
Another visitor is here in connec
tion with the case. J. F. Gaffney,
of Shelby, is at the O. Henry Hotel.
He came in today. Mr. Gaffney is
the man who made an affidavit that
lie believes Dellinger is Itoss, re
membering a Child who appeared in
Gaffney, S. C, in charge of a man
named McCalc, just after Charlie
. Itoss had been kidnapped and a
world-wide search made for him. Mr.
Gaffney's affidavit was made in sup
port of the belief of Dellinger that he
is Ross.
It has been stated that Mrs. Starr
is inclined to believe that Dellinger
is Ross and that she has done the
detective work in the case, traveling
to pick up clues on the case, one by
one.
BODY OF M. HOLLER
IS FOUND AT CHURCH
Catawba Young Man Had Been Put
Out of Car in Drunken Condition—
To Analyze Stomach.
Newton. May 14.—M. Holler, 24-
year-old white man. was found dead
today at noon at Salem Church, in
the Catfish section of Clines township.
The young man. it is learned, was
carried to the church in a car this
morning driven by Paul Pope and
put out near the church. He was
in n drunken condition when Pope,
left him. The body was found about
half way between the church and the
cemetery.
Sheriff Rost wns notified and left
at once for the scene. He ordered
a coroner’s inquest and County Phy
sician Dr. George IV. Shipp, of New
ton, was sent for. Dr. Shipp had the
stomach removed ami will send it to
the state chemist at Raleigh for
analysis.
The spot where Holler was found is
only a quarter of a mile from where
Alf Sigmon was found drowned Wed
nesday morning. Sigmon and Pope
were members of a drinking party
on Saturday night and four days later
the body of Sigmon was found in
Catawba River. It is reported that
Holler was also at Saturday night’s
drinking frolic but this has not been
confirmed.
The sheriff found a large quantity
of beer and a sixty-gallon still, cap
and worm Sunday in the Catfish sec
tion a quarter of a mile from Salem
Church.
Holler is survived by his wife and
two small children.
