Koala Amundsen, the Norwegian- ex plorer, in locating the Southern axis of the earth. Not even an inkling of th1 present whereabouts of' Scott and his steamer, the Terra Nova, has reached London but the Englishman's agent in New Zealand, is of the opinion that he is still engaged in exploring and scientific work and that he probably may nokbe heard from for several week. That Amundsen had reached the Pole and planted the Nor wegian colors there was confirm ed today in dispatches sent to him to Christiana, One of these dispatches was addressed to King Frederick, Its contents were not made known but another said: "Pole reached, fourteenth seventeenth December." The two dates were taken to mean that Amundsen had re?ch ed the point, he sought December 14 and remained there four days .... r'S" and those who know the explo rer well, - especially rbfeldr Mohn, the -famous Norwegian meteorologist, expressed the be lief that Amundsen during his period had make such observa tions and calculations as would render impossible a controversy similiar to that which arose' out of the Cook-Peary North Pole discovery.

The mammoth pumping sta tion to be erected by the Matta muskeet Drainage District No, 1 in Hyde county, this State, which station ill be designed to pump 1,000,000 gallons" per minute, will be built by 'a Char lotte engineering firm. The purpose of this station is reclaiming about 54,000 acres of land, which foremerly belonged to the Board of Education of the tate of North .Carolina, but was sold by them to the South ern Land & j Reclamation Co., which will drain the lake and divide the land into truck farms of 10 acres, or more. ., Some idea of .the magnitude of the enterprise can be. gained from the fact that the station when pumping will move in five minutes more than the quanity of water used by the city of Charlotte in twenty-four hours, .. . r1',; -' Bids for (this work were re ceived- the 22 of last May, since Which time the legality 'of " the bonds "has been tested in the Supreme Courf; several boards of engineers have reviewed the various: bids offered by the diffe rent engineering conceirn.s from New York," Cleveland, Milwau kee, Philadelphia New Orleans, and elsewhere:' After a thorough investigation,, the . award ,was made.
