In summing up the results of
the recent polar expeditions not
much credit is given to the dogs,

The fact that DIR. Cook lost

TAFT AND SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR

Governor George Carry who The
Optic announced day before yesterday
had decided TO retire from the office
of territorial executive in the spring
arrived in the city on the eastbound
limited last night from Santa Fe and
registered at the Castaneda.
The governors visit was unexpected
1t was, however, of a purely personal
nature, he coming here for the pur-
pose of comforting with his Las We
gas friends regarding the forthcom-
ing resignation.
The governor IS vitality interested
in several projects of paramount i'm
portance to the territory, which have
been inaugurated during his admins
tration and which he is very desirous
of having carried out after his retire
ment from office, and these projects
he discussed with his friends here to-
day
When seen ny an Optic reporter at
the Castslneda this morning. the gov
ernor reiterated the reasons already
given for his early retirement from
office.
"In some ways shall leave the
governors office with great deal of
regret" said the governor. The
work of the office is congenial ITO me,
my relations with the members Of my
administration and with the people OF
the territory as a whole have been
most pleasant, and have felt that
have been able to accomplish some
work for the territory and that
might have been able to accomplish
more in the future. But my personal
business affairs make it imperative
that I give them my entire attention
and my determination to leave the Of
flee is final. l hope that my friends
will make no further effort to change
this determination which has been
made after careful consideration and
which is made imperative by my busi-
ness affairs.
Il am going to make my home in
New Mexico. My business affairs will
be SO shaped as to keep me here and
will be found working as heartily
for statehood and for the interests of
the territory as private citizen as
have while governor. The matter of
my retirement will soon be under con-
sideration in Washington. Until it is
taken up there / am unable to fix
