PEARYNEEDSS6OOOO
To FINANCE EXPEDITION To
NORTH POLE this SUMNER.
Work-Has Reached Farthest Point
North-Wants to Start in June, This
Year-SchooI Children May Raise
Fund to Help Send Him.

Lack of $50, 900 to finance the expedi-
ton may mean the abandonment of the
dash to the north pole which Com
mander Peary has planned for this
summer. The explorer, who has earned
the distinction of having reached "the
farthest north" and who truly may be
said to live for the purpose of reveal
ing to the world the mysteries of the
pole ITSELF is deeply dOwncast at the
possibility that he may not be able to
try again.
This is a work which l must do, a
great work for which l was intended"
said Commander Peary, and with a
confidence that his work must be help
ed from somewhere, he said:
"The money will come; somehow 1
feel certain of that. But if l was only
assured now, what a relief it would be,
and how l could concentrate ali my
energies on the details of the expedi-
ton. Remember, we were but ia
miles from the goal on our last trip.
1t would be pity indeed if we could
not try again"
Peary wants to start from New York
the latter part of June. His ship, The
Roosevelt which proved it's highest
worth on the last expedition, is. now
being prepared for tie next attack on
the northern ice fields. The greater
part of the $4,000 already subscribed
will be spent in repairing the boat, and
100000 more will be needed for gen.
eral expenses. The Peary Arctic club
is caring largely for the refitting of
ha D0nCnua1f nd s<-.
appeal for contributions from the peo-
pie of the country, so that a total of
100000 may be raised.
The club feels, as does Commander
Peary himself, that the people should
share in the next expedition The
idea Of permitting the public school
children of the country to take part in
the movement has been suggested to
Peary. 1t met with his approval, but
he is In doubt as to how such a pro-
gram could be carried out.
II am not complaining" he said,
"but if 1 was certain about the mate
rial aspect of the expedition a great
burden would be lifted. Did you ever
realize what the details of the prepare
ton for the invasion Of the north
means. If anything is left undone or
anything forgotten after we have actu-
ally gotten away, then it is too late.
We get along as best we cam
To this gigantic task of discovery
Commander Peary implicitly believes
his fellow countrymen should lend
their interest and support, and his alb
solute confidence that he has been as
signed to attain the goal expresses
his conviction that he will win.
Peary says if conditions are favor
able the objects of the expedition
might be accomplished in one season.
But he might remain north as long as
three years. He was preparing, he

SALT LAKE STRIKE
sTREETCAR men WENT OUT
LAST SUNDAY MORNING.
Had Nearly Come to an Agreement
With Manager Bancroft When an
Arbitration Clause Was Turned
Down by Him-Temporary Service
Stopped.

Salt Lake, April ga strike was
declared on the streetcar lines of the
Utah Light and Power Company Sun
day, 450 men walking out. Numerous
scenes of disorder followed attempts
made by the company during the morn
ing to operate a few cars with non
union crews, and all efforts to main
tain even a partial service were soon
abandoned.
The vote in favor of the strike was
unanimous, over 300 of the 450 motor
men and conductors employed by the
company casting their vote.
Announcement was in fact made on
Friday that arbitration had been
reached. This followed several con-
ferences between Mayor Thompson
and a committee of citizens on the
one side and President Bancroft of the
company on the other. Mayor Thomp-
son on Friday carried to the men as
surances that Mr.. Bancroft had
agreed to arbitrate the question now
and other matters later. This was
satisfactory to the men. But yester-
day, in written communication to
Mayor Thompson, Mr.. Bancroft made
1t plain that the company's attitude
had not changed-namely, that it was
perfectly willing to arbitrate the
wage question at once, but could not
bind itself to arbitration of other and
future grievances, even the nature Of
which could not at present be fore
seen.
Eggs Are Thrown.
The scenes of disorder that marked
the beginning of the strike took place
on Main street, between Brigham
street and South Second street
The leaders of the demonstrations
against the men who were trying to
operate the cars were strike sympa-
thizers, mostly half-grown boys and
irresponsible men. The strikers,
themselves, took no part in the dis
turbances. Hundreds of people were
on the streets, but most of them were
spectators. The weapons used were
mostly eggs, and these were thrown
by dozens. The strike sympathizers
also cut trolley-pole ropes and in
bOluO iuotdhSCo VI d66Cu tAO ACi
union motormen off the cars. The
police seemed powerless. An end to
the disturbances was accomplished
when a car marked "U. S. Mali was
brought into action and towed the
other cars back to the barns. No
attempt was made to modest the mail
car. In spite of the liveliness of the
demonstrations against the nom
unionists no one was seriously hurt
Joseph Jones, a special deputy
sheriff, received rougher treatment,
perhaps, than any one of those who
were operating or guarding. the cars.
He was surrounded by a mob and
when he drew pistol his weapon
was wrested from him. He was saved
from serious injury by the Intervention
of the police.

my judgment there is no section OF

been reclaimed and made productive

many large cities in White Pine:

water TO make it productive, re-
claimed and busy farmers harvesting
