Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads is not quite complete. judgiT e

Northern Pacific has no way OF

Great Northern track. AS q result
the Great Northern has brought IL
thousands of carloads OF material

got the hauling OF q very large
amount OF fire-proof tile for the wing

told plausible story about the
theft, but his statements about Ills

Brainerd yesterday noon to find the
thief. Shortly after the arrival of
the train at Brainerd he telegraphed
to Deputy Sheriff Crest that he had
found the horses and to come up
there quick. =

Lieut. Peary is enthusiastic over the

to hts Ave years work with the greatest
pleasure. He said last night:
THE project is entirely my own. The
American Geographical Society. the tech
nical society most capable OF passing on
the project. has promised to subscribe
money for the trip when it is needed. The
American Museum OF Natural History has
also subscribed. l have outlined plans
very carefully, and have made use OF all
the experience / have gained in previous
expeditions. l depend largely for my sue
cess upon the cooperation of the Eski-
mos, but I have complete confidence In
them and know that can trust them to
do everything I tell them, and to have
everything in readiness for me when am
prepared to start on the main expedition
for the pole.
''As for the plans OF the main expedi-
ton. can say little more than has al
ready been published. l am thoroughly
decided on one point. however. and that
is. that I shall take with me very few
white men. I shall give much attention
to the selection of my surgeon, who must
be vigorous. active and thoroughly enthu-
siastic l shall time the main expedition
carefully. and be prepared to make the
final dash for the pole at precisely the
time when all the conditions are most
favorable.
From the present time until July I
shah be busy preparing for the pre!iin-
mary trip. There will be much to do. but
I am determined that there shall be no
delays. for any interference with the
plans have outlined might be fatal to
the entirc project
