After killing the deer they then trav-
elled south along the east side of Ring
nes Land to the point indicated on the
chart, where they killed another deer.
They then went east across the south
part of Crown Prince Gustav Sea to
the south end Of Heiberg Land, then
down, through Norwegian Bay, where
they secured some bears, but not until
after they had killed some Of their
dogs, to the east side of Graham Is
land; then eastward to the little bay
marked "Eid's Fiord" on Sverdrup's
chart; then southwest to Hells Gate
and Simmons Peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entire journey. except as already noted
off Cape Thomas 81. Hubbard, they
encountered open water. On this point
the boys were clear, emphatic, and I'M
shakable. They spent a good deal of
time in this region, and finally aban-
doned their dogs and one sledge, took
to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate to
North Kent, up into Norfolk Inlet.
then back along the north coast of
Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera,
where they obtained fresh elder duck
eggs. Here they cut the remaining
sledge off, that is shortened it, as it was
awkward to transport with the boat,
and near here they killed walrus.
The statement in regard to the fresh
elder duck eggs permits the approxi-
mate determination of the date at this
time as about the first of July. (This
statement also serves. If indeed any
thing more than the inherent straight
forwardness and detail Of their nara
tive were needed, to substantiate the
accuracy and truthfulness of the boys
statement This locality Of Cape Vera
is mentioned in Sverdrup's narrative
as the place where during his stay in
that region he obtained elder ducks
eggs.)
From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle of Jones
Sound, where they killed seal; thence
east along the south coast of the
Sound, killing three bears at the point
noted on the map. to the peninsula
known as Cape Sparbo on the map,
about midway on the south side of
Jones Sound. Here they killed some
musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed
four more at the place indicated on
the chart, and were finally stopped by
the pack ice at the mouth Of Jones
Sound From here they turned back
to Cape Sparbo, where they wintered
and killed many musk-oxen.
After the sun returned in 1909 they
started, pushing their sledge, across
Jones Sound to Cape Tennyson; thence
along the coast to Clarence Head pass
ing inside Of two small islands not
shown on the chart, but drawn on it
by the boys. where they killed a bear;
thence across the broad blight in the
coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around
Cape Isabella and up to Commander
Peary's old house in Payer Harbor
near Cape Sabine, where they found q.
seal cached for them by Panikpah,
I-took-a-shoo's father. From here they
crossed Smith Sound on the Ice. ar

Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of us, and were
put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
During the taking Of this testimony,
it developed that DR.. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy.
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of us anything about
their Journey, and the boys stated
Dr. Cook had threatened them If they
should tell anything.
The narrative of these Eskimos is
as follows: ~
They. with DR.. Cook. Francke and
nine other Eskimos. left Anoratok,
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept in Commander Peary's old house
in Payer Harbor, then went through
Rice Strait to Buchanan Bay. After a
few marches Francke and three Eski-
mos returned to Anoratok.
DR.. Cook, with the others. then pro-
ceeded up Flsgler Bay. a branch of
! Buchanan Bay. and crossed ElIesmere
Land through the valley pass at the
head of Flagler Bay. indicated by Com.
mander Peary in 1898. and utilized by
Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of Sver.
drup's "Bay Fiord'' on the west side
| Of Ellesmere Land.
Their route then lay out through this
| ford, thence north through Sverdrup's
"Heuerla Sound" and hansen Strait
On their way they killed musk-oxen
and bear, and made caches, arriving
eventually at a point on the west side
of Nansen Strait (shore of Axel Hei.
berg Land of Sverdrup), south of Cape
Thomas Hubbard.
A cache was formed here and the
four Eskimos did NOT 60 beyond this
point. Two others. Koolootingwah and
Inughlto, went on one more march
with DR.. Cook and the two boys, help,
ed to build the snow igloo, then re
turned without sleeping.

For double-crossing, this was the

The Yellow, refusing to give an
account of the action taken by the
Chamber of Commerce regarding the
charter. and seeing that The Senti-

to Offset the published true account
of the meeting; so Mr.. Cherrington,

suit him or the Yellow, and who Is
quoted on every possible occasion ad

in part:
Washington. Feb. 27.-A worlds
exposition for Denver in 1912 is in
the cards. Arrangements for the af-
fair have proceeded to a length
whereby it can be asserted that 1t is
surely going to be.
Thomas +. Walsh is to be president
of the board OF directors, which is to
be composed of Influential men OF
Colorado.
1t is understood that at a luncheon
today in Washington Walsh agreed
to become chief of the board which
is to raise the necessary funds and
direct il.
II is to be the greatest exposition
of modern times. 1t is to cost at
least 3 1a million dollars. Congress
is to be asked to contribute l million
dollars. The Colorado legislature. at
its present session will be called upon
for an appropriation of another mill
ion dollars, and the remaining l "
million dollars will be apportioned
among subscribers who will be stock
holders of the big undertaking.
Dennis Sheedy and ID. Fl. Moffat
of Denver already have announced
their intention of entering actively
into the project.
James II. Peabody of Canon City
and Sam Dutton of Denver, who are
in Washington, are furthering the
idea. other Denverites who are here
have agreed with them that the show
can be held.
1t will be an affair distinctively of
the west. particularly of Colorado.
1t is understood that the organiza-
tion of business men which obtained
and conducted the democratic con-
vention of last summer is backing the
project.

NO NEW CASES ARE
REPORTED TODAY

The Board of Health stated this
afternoon that no new cases of small
pox had been reported last night or
today, and that Michael Arway, of
1913 Washington street, was dis
charged from the isolation hospital
yesterday afternoon. The board al
SO reports that there are now only
fifteen cases in the city.
A report gained circulation yes
terday that Miss Carrie Arner, sec
retary to Superintendent Shull of
the public schools, had the disease.
The report was denied today by Su-
perintendent Shull, the Board OF
Health and President John G. Ar
ner, of the Board of Education, Miss
Arner's father Miss Arner has been
home for the past few days with a
severe cold, which probably gave
rise to the rumor.
Many False Rumors.
While there are many reports in cir
eulatiop, the Board of Health is alert
day and night and, as soon as q case is
diagnosed as smallpox, they, are notified
Immediately by the physician in charge
The rumors, most of which are absolute.
ly without foundation, are spread ruth
lessly every day and it is believed that
many have started from the mere fact
that doctor or health inspector was
seen entering someone's house. The
Board of Health states that practically
everyone in town who is i'll from any
cause is under observation as a mere
matter Of precaution.
