1t was on February 10Th, after some
time spent in recommending, that Cap
tain Bartlett left with the first party of
explorers for Cape Hecla. Mr.. Marvin,
the mate, followed the next day, DR..
Wolf on the morrow and Mr.. Peary
two days later, each with small party
of white men, Esklmos and dogs.
Three marches brought MI. Peary to
Cape Hecla, where the entire outfit
was now assembled. They comprised
seven white men and twenty-one Es-
kimos, with 100 dogs, the personnel for
one main and five division parties,
which it was hoped would be able to
advance supplies and maintain CON-
munication to a base beyond the high
est point suitable for Mr. Peary's final
point of departure.
At Storm Camp, as they had named
it, they abandoned everything which
they did not absolutely need and bent
every energy to setting record pace.
"In the legacy of irretrievable dam
age which the storm had left us was one
small codicil of good. Such snow as
the wind had not torn from the face of
the foes was beaten and banked hard,
and the snow which had fallen had been
hammered into the areas of rough ice
and the shattered edges of the big foes,
so that they gave us little trouble.
North of Storm Camp we had no occa-
sion for snowshoes or pick-axes.

Two of Bryan's Stories.

Mr. Bryan told two new stories last
week. Col. Troup swears that he has a
lot more canned and is saving them for
his next New England trip. In speak
ing to the Colby students he advised
brevity in conversation and writing.
Brevity, he said, reminded him of the
man who met another on the street and
said:
Excuse me, sir, do you drink"
''That's my business, SIR" indignant
ly answered the man addressed.
'1s that your only business?" asked
the other man.
''Now," said Mr.. Bryan, "the man
who drinks much will soon have no
other business"
AT the Bangor Opera House, in com.
menting on Roosevelt's appropriation
of his sayings and lifting of planks
from the Democratic platform, Mr..
Bryan said that it recalled to him the
story of the old colored woman who
sent for colored physician on her ill
ness. She was not satisfied with the
colored doctor and sent for a white
physician to treat her. The latter felt
her pulse and asked her if her former
medical attendant had taken her tenn

~ seems proper also to note" con-
ciudes Mr.. Peary, chat the result of
Inc last expedition of the Peary Arctic
CluD mas been to simplify the attain
menu OF the pole fifty per cent; to &C
Gentuate the fact that man and the
ESKIMO dog are the only two mechan-
lsms capable of meeting all the various
contlngencies of serious Arctic work,
ana That the American route to the
pole ana the methods and equipment
used remain the most practicable for
attaining that object.
Had the winter of 1905 to 1905 been
a normal season in the Arctic regions
ana not, as it was, a particularly open
one, there is not member of the ex-
pedltlon who doubts that we would
have attained the Pole.
And had l known before leaving the
lana what actual conditions were to the
northWard, as l know now, l could
have so modified my route and my dis
posltlon OF sledges that I believe we
could have reached the pole, even in
spite OF the open season.
Another expedition, following in my
steps, and profting by my experience,
can not only attain the pole, but can Sc
cure the other remaining principal
deslderata IN the central Arctic sea,
namely, line of deep sea soundings
from the north shore of Grant Land to
the pole, and the delineation of the un-
known gap in the northeast coast line
or Greenland from Cape Morris Jesup
southwark to Cape Bismarck. This
work can be accomplished by an ex-
petition absent for the same length of
time as the last one, and with lesser
expenditure.

FARMERS AND STATE ROAD.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
The new directory of the towns of
Stockton Springs, Searsport and Pros
pect does not sustain the general i'm
preston about farming towns. Pros
pect has 1914 voters and So farmers:
Stockton has 257 voters and 81 farmers.
Stockton summer visitors began twenty
years ago to buy farms, and a string of
farms IL miles long. from near Sears
port village along the harbor and up
the line and around the Cape Jellison,
have been taken by the railroad COM
pany. Only five farmers are left on
Cape Jellison, where once there were
Is farms. Searsport has 292 voters and
81 farmers. Now about the farmers.
1t is all right in the directory; but
some of these farmers had farms in
another town when they were farming,
and some never had a farm but did
work or chores on a farm. When it
comes to real farming, with team and
a fair showing of mixed crops, it is
doubtful if one-fourth of the people in
the three towns are farmers.
Not many years ago the State Asses
sors increased the State tax of the town
of Prospect for Improvements in agri-
cultural pursuits. Now as to the talk
about the great State road and what it
was going to do for the farmers Here
are the people living on the State road
across the town where the town put in
their money: tool sharpeners, 3; far
mers, 3; superintendent of granite
| works, l.; millman, 1; stone cutters, 8;
blacksmith, /; paving cutter, / retired
sea captain, l; women with farms, 4;
women telegraph operators, 2; carpen-
ter, l; station agent, /; teamSter, 1.
On that road they are all able fellows
and they have got to have what they
get and that is $3.50 for hours to work
on the road, or the town can take ordi-
nary men cheaper, if they can get them.
On that road years ago there were more
than 20 yoke of oxen, besides 100 head
of steers and young cattle, and nearly
all had piece of salt hay to cut be.
sides their upland. Men lived there
who built ship, bark, a fullrigged
brig, an hermaphrodite brig and a
schooner in the creek near by. At one
time thirteen vessels were loading
wood, bark and spars in the creek, and
there was one man who carted more
heavy loads of cord wood on that road
in one summer than there are now
heavy loads in the same time. This
State road in our town is alongside the
railroad and it does not seem that in a
sparsely settled State like Maine it is a
good investment, and our town passed
the article over to build any more. We
have not men or teams enough to dc
for those away and work the farm with
the high wages for help. Besides a
team costs more now than it did in wal
times. A good yoke of young 7-feet
oxen could be bought then for 5000;
now it is better than anyone has done
here to get one young 1 200 to /, 400 horse
for that money.

The first march of ten hours, some
times on dog trot, the sledges follow
ing in Indian file, with drivers running
beside or behind, placed them at least
thirty miles to the good. The Eskimos
estimated the distance at forty miles.
The character of the ice improved as
they advanced, the foes becoming
mnch larger and rafters infrequent, but
the cracks and narrow leads increased
and were nearly all active. Many of
the dogs gave out and were fed to the
others. A few also were slain for hui
man food and DR.. Peary records that
he found the meat quite palatable. On
April 20 they came into region of op-
en- leads, leading nearly north and south
and the ice motion became more pro-
nounced. Hurrying on between these
a forced march was made. Then they
slept a few hours, and starting again
soon after midnight, pushed on till
noon of the 21st.
Observations then taken and rapidly
figured showed that the party had
reached 81 deg. 6 min. north latitude,
and had at last beaten the record.

as possible, though felt that the mere
beating of the record was but an empty

the reverse, and my bitter disappoint-

Timber Famine Feared.

WAsHINGToN, April 26. The U. S.
forest service has issued circular saw
ing that this country consumes every
year between three and four times more
wood than all of its forests grow in the
meantime and that if this is continued
the result will be timber famine. A
policy of government control and regu-
lation is recommended as a remedy.
The Pacific States, it says, will soon
take the ascendency in timber produc-
ion.

six children were sent into the field in
addition to those already out. From
this time until February I, the dogs
and the greater portion of the Eskimos

gone and the winter may be said to
have commenced, though for con-
