Dr. Cook explains his failure to find
such caches with the statement that he
took an entirely different route from any

that he was through with arctic eXplora-

Somebody wanted to know II he would
ever try for the south pole.
No. was the reply. IN leave that

A good deal has been said about Murphy
and Pritchard, Peary's men. who were
left in charge Of the stores at Etah. Stress
has been laid upon the point that Pritch-

the pole after 1t had been related to them

on the governorship of New Mexico
has been reached by President Taft
although the matter was to have been

1t is understood that the choice now
lies between Chief Justice William j.

Chief Justice Mills has been no can

has led to narrowing down of the
probable selection, with every indisa-
tion that Chief Justice Mills may have
the place if he cares to accept it. 1t
is said that President Taft and Attor-
ney General Wickersham are much
impressed with Judge Mills qualifica-
tions for the honor.
