Photographs depicting more graph ically than words the pathetic an nihilation of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his party of four daring English explorers in their amazing dash to the South Pole were received yesterday by Hearst’s Sunday Ameri can. Thes>e are the first of the Scott pictures.to arrive in the United States. Most of them were made by Cap tain Scott and his band of heroes be fore they perished miserably during the early months of 1912, after having attained the pole on January 18, that year. The remainder were made by the rescuing party, which also was near destruction in the barren and tempestuous stretches of the Antarc tic. The proceeds from the sale of the pictures will go to the family of Captain Scott. Scott’s Thrilling Message. With death creeping over him in the tent where his frozen body was found, Captain Scott scrawled this thrilling message: "For my own sake I do not regret this journey, which has shown us that Englishmen can endure hardship, help one another and meet death with as great fortitude as ever in the past. We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us, and, therefore, we have no cause for complaint. "Had I lived I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endur ance and courage of my companions which would have stirred the hearts of all Englishmen. These rough notes on our dead bodies must tell the tale. Dead in the tent with Captain Scott were Lieutenant H. R. Bowers and Dr. E. A. Wilson. They had expired a few days after Captain E. G. Oates and six weeks after Petty Officer Ed gar Evans. Diary Gives Incidents. Captain Scott’s diary, found back of his head, as he sat, dead, against the tent pole, gives Incidents leading up to his death. It said: ’’The weather throughout the out ward journey stopped us; the soft snow in the lower reaches of the Beardmore Glacier again reduced the pace. We fought these untoward events and conquered, but it ate into our provision reserve, "The advance parts’ would have re turned to the glacier in fine form and with surplus food but for the aston ishing failure of the man whom we had least expected to fail. Seaman Evans was thought to be the strong est man of the party and Beardmore Glacier is not -difficult in fine weather. ■‘We got into frightfully rough ice and Evans received a concussion of the brain. He died a natural death, but left us with a shaken party, with the season unduly advanced. Surprise at Barrier. “But all the facts above enum erated were as nothing to the sur prise which awaited us on the har rier. On the summit, in latitude 85 to 86 degrees, we had minus 20 to minus 80. On the barrier, in latitude go—10,000 feet lower—we had minus 30 during the day and minus 47 at night with continuous head wind dur ing the day marches. "I do not think human beings ever came through such months as we have come through, and we should have come through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of our mates and the shortage of fuel in our depots, for which I can not account, and finally, hut for the storm which has fallen on us within eleven miles of the depot at which we hoped to secure final supplies.” WORKS 16 HOURS A DAY RUNNING 32,000-ACRE FARM WALLA WALLA, WASH, May 31. —Ilenry Vincent, the wheat grower of Eureka Flat, who harvested 12,000 acres last year, has increased his holdings until this season he will have 32.000 acres in spring and fall wheat.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Thousands and thousands of visitors to-day visited the monument unveiled yesterday in honor of the memory of the men who lost their lives aboard the battleship .Maine in Havana Harbor. They were persons who had been unable to attend the impressive un veiling celebration that brought together representatives of the leaders in thought and patriot ism and representatives of the naval strength of two nations. But their patriotism was no less sincere. They stood in respectful silence admiring the shaft and turned to give way to others, who likewise wished to pay their devoir at the shrine oilmen who had died for human liberty. CREDIT GIVEN HEARST. Notable men in every walk of life united to give credit to William Randolph Hearst and to his papers for the beautiful Maine memorial. When Past Commander-in-Chief Maurice Simmons, of the United Spanish War Veterans, had finished his speech he turned to the distinguished gathering in the stand and said: ‘ To no one man is greater credit due for this splendid memorial than to William Randolph Hearst. I think it is only fitting that he should address this assemblage.” There were immediate cries for “Hearst!” “Hearst!” from all parts of the sea of spectators and someone proposed three cheers, which were given as Mr. Hearst stepped to the front of the stand and began to speak. His address follows: yMy friends, many of the speakers in the goodness of their hearts have given more credit to the committee, of which I am a minor member, than we think we deserve. The committee has done its best, but it has not played a predominant part in the erection of this monument. “The monument was de signed by the architect, Mr. M. VanBuren M agon i pie, and the sculptor, Mr. At- tilio Piccirilli-; it was passed upon by the art commis sion; the city of New York gave it this magnificent site, and the people of the Unit ed States of America erect ed it by popular subscrip tion. Erected by People. To my rrrtTXl, the important and significant fact In connection with this memorial le-tthat it wawesect- ed by the whole people, for I think that in the defense and de velopment of our country the one thing next in Importance to hero ism and devotion to* appreciation of heroism and devotion by all the people. We can not all be heroes, bet we can all be grateful far hero ism. We are not all privileged to lay down our lives In the service of our country, bat we esn all love and honor and remem ber the men who have made such splendid sacrifices And in remembering husoes dead, let us not forget heroesliv- Ing. There are ae many men tn the army and navy to-day ready to sacrifice their lives for their country as ever there have been in the whole history of the na tion. Duty to Care for Heroes. It is our duty as citizens to see that such sacrifices shall* not be needless and fruitless. It is^apr duty as citizens to supply suffi cient ships and guns I5n order that these heroes may have file means and munitions for our de fense, and in order that their devotion may not be either unap preciated or unavailing. When we have done this, nor duty as citizens, we -will deserve to stand with the citizens to whom Abraham Lincoln referred when he wrote: “All honor to the sailor and soldier everywhere who tarwvely bears his country’s cause. All honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in tAe field and serves, as best he cun, the selfsame cause. Honor to him only less than to him who braves for the common good, the storms of Heaven and the storms of bat tle!” Applause Greets Srgsbre. There was much applause when Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee rose. As the veteran naval officer, who commanded the ill-fated Maine, stood at the speaker's rostrum, his shoul ders squared, the crowd pressed for ward.
