To prevent the reduction of the pres

The railroads likewise have been
forced to economize by cutting down
the summer timetables of trains, anil
in the meantime they have placed or

up $5 a ton within a week, and is now
quoted at $33 paper, or $14 gold
Charcoal, which is largely used for
domestic purposes, is also $5 a ton

■ SEATTLE JUNE I
SEATTLE, April 27. — Captain
Louis L. Lane, an Arctic navigator of
long experience, announced that he
will leave Seattle for the Arctic ocean
about June 1 in a 300 ton schooner
now being built lu re, and expected to
return to Nome or Seattle next an

other members of the Canadian gov

sailed Irom Victoria. I!. ('., for the
Arctic ocean June 17, 1013. Captain
Lane plans to he at Banksland, in the
l’olar sea. about August 5, and to meet
Stefansson there. Lane, in the power
schooner I’olar Bear, took Stefansson
and two companions from Banksland
to Herschel island last August, and af
terward sold the Polar Bear to Stef
ansson, who returned to Banksland
with this boat anil the small |»wer
boat Gladiator, intending to pass the
winter in exploration of Banksland.
and then, on the breaking of the ice
this spring, making further explora

land. Captain Lane Is now in Seattle
supervising the construction of his
schooner.
Captain Lane Is going north, not
under contract with the Canadian gov
ernment, but under a verbal agreement
with Stefansson. Lane's new power
boat, which probably will be named
the Great Bear, will be of wooden con
struction, and the strongest ice re
sisting vessel ever built on Puget
Sound. Lane will take with him gaso
line and other supplies for the Ste
fansson fleet. Stefansson has asked
the Canadian government to permit *
his parties to continue their work a “
year longer, but It is believed that on
account of war conditions the explor
