PEMMIcAN PAVED THE WAY.
Dr.. Cook Explains How He Lived On
Polar Trip.

BOSTON Mass, Oct. DIR. COOK
delivered a lecture Yesterday TO
representative Boston audience. He
replied to a recent and pertinent query
of George KEENAN, in magazine artl-
Gle in which the writer claimed DR..
Cook could not take sufficient food
supplies on two sledges to last 81
days.
'Mr. KEENAN," said DR.. Cook,
started out with the idea that we
used pressed OK meat for food for dog
and man. If we had, his criticism
would have been just, for we could
not have lived on less than five thous-
and pounds of such meat, which it
would have been impossible to carry
on two sledges. But we did not have
musk OK food. We had penmican
and we used one pound per man, per
dog per day One pound of pemmican
is equal to five pounds of fresh meat
so you will see that Mr.. Remnants fig
ures were all right and properly APP
piled"

The annual rush for accommodations

fair is going to draw thousands to the
city during the week, commencing
Monday. Old gray haired patriarchs
who came into the country stearing an
oX-team and broke the first soil in
their particular locality will be there
as will theis descendants, even unto
the third and in instances, the fourth

booths where are exhibited the largest

versation and anecdote that will be
overheard starting off with the. 4 re-
member, way back in tivty seven"
You have heard this class of talk upon
such occasions for several years past
at the annual fair. Much attention is
usually centered upon the speaker
when he is fairly launched upon some
ancient anecdote. particularly When
the pesky redskins figured, or some
other severe calamity was about to
overWhelm the pioneers in their strug-
gle for supremacy and victory over the
odds that assailed them. The majority
of the old timers who will engage in

scenes of their early struggles. talk
that emanates from such lips as these
is far more valuable to the average
student of conditions today than can
be cleaned from the pages of all the
histories that could be stacked on a
shelf fifty feet long.
Several other items of interest will
assail the vision of the visitors, during
their sojourn at the fall exhibition or

You now give to your country supreme

NEW YORK. oct. "A minor feat

SON Fulton celebration that caused
much amusement and attracted the
attention of thousands of persons was
a water walking" device propelled by
a lone man, who strobe up the river
threading his way around the multi
tude of vessels. The mysterious
stranger had two little boats not mole
than four feet long. rugged with
small sail and a sort of bicycle ar
rangement. which he propelled with
his feet. 1t gave the impression that
the man was literally walking on tn
water, and when the odd craft struck
the wash Of a passing steamer it
bobbed about prodigiOusly, but al
ways righted itself and kept on its
course. The daring navigator was
cheered by thousands of passengr RS
on the pleasure boats and was an in
tense delight to the sailors on the
battleships.

morning for Salt Lake, after two days
spent in the district looking over his
banking and other business interests.
Mr.. Armstrong said Sunday evening
that activity appeared greater and the
general outlook much better in the
camp than it had for more than two
years and that he was very much
pleased with the general situation,
which he considers one that will ex-
pand steadily. #
Interest in the camp on the outside,
Mr.. Armstrong said, is very great and
keeping pace in growth with the gen.
eral improvement which is steadily
making in all lines of activity. Salt
Lake and all tributary mining country
is picking up and there is much en-
thusiasm about the future.

opened in Salt Lake and of which Mr..
Armstrong is president has given in
