and spring applies to the days of the rising sun, a period corresponding to the autumn days of the setting sun.
 At Annootok the midnight sun is first seen over the sea horizon on April 23. It dips ln the sea on Aug. 19. It thus encircles the horizon, giving summer and continuous day for 11S days. It sets at midday on Oct A and is ab- sent period of prolonged night cor responding to the day and rises on Feb. 20.
 Harvesting Food and Fuel.
 Then follow the eye opening days of spring. In the fall, when the harmon izing influence of the sun is withdrawn, there begins a battle of the elements which continues it's smoky agitation until stilled by the hopeless frost of early night.
 At this time, though field work was painful, the needs of our venture forced us to persistent action in the chase of walrus, seal, narwhal and white whale. We harvested food and fuel.
 Before winter ice spread over the hunting grounds ptarmigan, hare and reindeer were sought to supply the ta- bIe during the long night with delica- cies, while bear and fox pleased the palates of the Eskimos and their belts clothed all.
 Many long journeys were made to SC cure an important supply of grass to pad boots and mittens and also to se- cure moss, which serves as wick for the Eskimo lamp. The months of Sep tember and October were indeed im- portant periods of anxious seeking for reserve supplies.
 Aid From the Eskimos.
 There was a complex activity sud denly stimulated along the Greenland coast which did not require general su- pervision. The Eskimos knew what was required without word from us and knew better than we did where to find the things worth while. An out line of the polar campaign was sent from village to village, with a few general instructions.
 Each local group of natives was to fill an, important duty and bring to- gether the tremendous amount of ma ter1al required for our house and sled equipment. Each Eskimo village has, dS d IulS, CeItdlI Sdluc dItIdSCS
 In some places foxes and hares were abundant. Their skins were in great demand for coats and stockings. and Eskimos must not only gather the greatest number possible, but must prepare -he skins and make them into properly fitting garments.
 In other places reindeer were abun- dant. This skin was very much in demand for sleeping bags, while the sinew was required for thread. In still other places seal was the luck of the chase, and it's skin was one of our most important needs. Of it boots were ordered, and an immense amount of line and lashings was prepared.
 Thus in one way or another every man, woman and most of the children of this tribe of 25O people were kept busy in the service of the expedition. The work was well done and with much better Knowledge of the fitness of things than could be done by any possible gathering of white men. Use of the NarwhaI. The quest of the walrus and the nar- !

 W encouraged with cheer
 from all on board, we left the motherly yacht for our new home and mission. The yacht stood off to avoid drifting ice and await the re- turn of the motorboat.
 When we were set ashore we sat down and watched with saddened eyes the departure of our friends and the severins of the bond which had held us to the known world of life and happiness.
 The village of Annootok is placed in small bay just inside of Cape Ingle- field. Its population changes much from year to year, according to the known luck of the chase or the ambi- tion of the men to obtain new bear skin trousers.
 Scattered about it were twelve seal skin tents, which served as a summer shelter for an equal number of vigor- ous families. In other places nearer the sea were seven stone igloos. Upon these the work of reconstruction for winter shelter had already begun.

Washington. June 25.-Representa-
tive Higgins was at the White House
this morning and talked over with the
president his trip to Norwich. The
final arrangements have now been
agreed upon and there will be no more
changes. Owing to the poor health of
Mrs. Taft, it has been found necessary
to change the original plans quite a
little, but at no time did the president
say that he would not be on hand July
5th.
The presidential party will leave
Washington July Sd for Beverly, Mass,
where the summer home will be estab-
lished. Monday morning, July 5th,
President Taft will leave Beverly in
his motor for Boston. From there he
will take the 9 o'clock train for Nor
wich. His private car will be attached
to the regular express. The party will
arrive at Norwich at 1910. This is
later than was expected, but is the best
that can be done now.
As soon as the train arrives the
president will be taken in charge by
the committee and breakfast will be
served. Then will follov- 49, review of
the parade and the public reception in
the afternoon. The president will also
take in the fireworks. There will be
no speechmaklng. The party VIII sleep
ON board the private car and will leave
Norwich Tuesday morning on the Cen
trail Vermont at 5.37.
Presidents Party.
The party will consist of President
Taft, his aide, Capt. Archibald w.
Butt, Assistant Secretary Wendell
Mischief and two secret service men.
Mrs. Taft originally planned to be in
the party, but the state of her health
prevents her from going anywhere.
Mr.. Higgins also hopes to be able to
secure the attendance of Secretary
Wilson of the agricultural department.
Mr.. Wilson declined an invitation given
to him by Mr.. Higgins some time ago,
but has promised to think it over again
and he may change his mind. Secre-
tary Wilson lived in Lisbon when he
first came to this country from Scot
land in 1852, and went to his present
home in Iowa from there. He says he
would like to visit the state again.
Connecticut Delegation Monday.
Senators Buckley and Brandegee
and probably all the members of the
Connecticut delegation in the house
will also attend. They all expect to go
UP early Monday morning.
Want President Early.
Intimation that the president would
be late in arriving here on Monday,
July 5. had reached the committee
here, and it was taken up at the meet
ing. They want the president here
earlier than he plans to arrive now.
and in order to accomplish this it was
voted to pay for a special train if

OBITUARY..
William Henry chesebro.

William Henry Chesebro, for most
of his life a resident of Stonington,
but residing in this city for the last
year, passed peacefully away Friday
evening at Gas o'clock at No. 43S
Main street, East Side. He was in
his 50th year.
Following a long period of invalid
ism, brought on by three shocks, he
had been confined to his bed for the
last twelve weeks, and at noon on
Friday suffered a hemorrhage from
which he could not recover. although
he retained his faculties almost up to
the end. In the latter years of his
life Mr.. Chesebro had been a great
suffering, but he bore it all with pa
thence and had the tender and faith
full care of his daughter, Mrs. Garfield
Robertson.
Mr.. Cresebro was bron in Stafford
Springs, the son of Gilbert Henry
Cresebro and Elizabeth Monroe, both
belonging to old Stonington families.
When he was four his parents removed
to Stonington, where he had since
lived until a year ago, when with Mrs.
Chesebro he came here to reside with
his son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Garfield Robertson.
He had been a RAILROAD man all his
life, entering the employ of the Con-
solidated road at the age of IT, and
for % years he was conductor on the
run between New London and Bos-
ton. Because of shock received about
that time he was transferred from the
train to the boat service, being mate
of the New Hampshire apd the Ston-
ington, and serving on other boats of
the line until four years ago, when he
was compelled to give up active en-
ployment. He had a wide acuuaint-
ance among railroad men and patrons
and was favorite for his joviaI dis
position and ever cheerful greeting.
In Stonington, November 8. 1878, Mr..
Chesebro was united in marriage to
Jean Grant Smith, a native of Aber-
deem, Scotland, who survives him. Be
sides the daughter with whom he lived
he leaves a daughter Miss Jean Fran
ces Chesebro of New York, brother,
George Stanton Chesebro of Durango.
