The October Review of Review comes
out with group of striking articles on
the discovery of the North Pole. Be
sides the character sketch of Comman-
der Peary, which, while unsigned. is
understood to have been written bv
one who has long enjoyed a close ac
quaintance with the explorer and an
intimate knowledge of his work. there
is popular scientific article on the
discovery and its significance by CYRUS
&. Adams. the geograrher, and these
are followed by an extended interview
with DR. Cook reported by w. r. Stead
from Copenhagen. These three articles;
were written exclusively for the Re-
view of Reviews during the month of
september after the world had been
thrilled by the news flashed from the
Shetland Islands ard from the distant
coast of Labra dor. The securing and
publication OF these articles within so
short time is a feat UNPARALLELED in

to take down Il reinforced concrete
structure can attest to it's strength and
ri2idity. 1t was recently necessary, says
Cement Age, to demoish a two-story
power house in Philadelphia. The walls
were of brick, and floors and roof
of reinforced concrete. AS the floors
supported heavy engines, they We're

Enforced with rods. In order to re
move this concrete it was necessary to
blast it with dynamite. The manner in
~ hich the concrete resisted the dyna-
hitting was astonishing. This reinforce
ed concrete floor successfully carried
two engines and dynanos for several
years. Its removal was occasioned by
| the need of a larger power plant, which
| was built at another part of the site,
and the building of a 6-story reinforced
concrete building over the site of the

Yet the time may come, unlikely as it
now appears, that some good use may
be found for the north polar region. 1t
will be recalled that Alaska was pur-
chased chiefly as a whaling and sealing
ground, and both these industries are
already nearly extinct, while the min
eral and agricultural value of Alaska
has proven to be of very great value.
When Alaska was bought, railroad
in that country was no more improba-

clude the trip to the pole as one of the
essentials to the well Travelled. With
few exceptions history reminds us that
where one man has gone and returned
others are found to do likewise. and
each additional successful Journey
makes others easier and safer. as
routes are selected and provision made
for shelter. However, there is no like

BUTTE, Mont, September 27.-When
President Taft arrived in Butte this
morning he found city eager to well
come him. streets gay with bunting and
nothing in sight to mar his reception.
He was welcomed at the depot by big
reception committee, and waiting motors
took him and his party over the line OF
parade mapped out several days ago.
After his speech in North Montana
street. opposite the courthouse, he was
whisked away to his train. and started
on the journey to Helena. where he
was to be welcomed by thousands of
Montana citizens at the state fair
grounds.

dren all carried flags, and saluted the
chief executive as he passed in his mo-

The troubles between the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the organization
of the engineers in the mines caused a
change in the original program in Butte.
1t had been planned for Mr.. Taft to spend
some time in the mines and smelters
here, but when the labor troubles became
acute last week the committee changed
the arrangement, so that a part Of the
time was spent at Anaconda, where the
smelters were visited and examined. The
President took lively interest in all he
saw, and seemed to be much impressed
with the extent Of the industry at Ana
conda and Butte.
Labor Trouble Causes Apprehension.
The labor trouble, which was caused by
the engineers withdrawing from the fed.
Grafton and forming an independent or
ganization, gave the peace officers some
apprehension, and extra precautions were
taken to safeguard the President: Both
the sheriff and the chief of police added
many men to their regular forces, and the
town was thoroughly policed by men in
uniforms and plain clothes.
These precautions were unnecessary. as
the labor troubles had practically been
adjusted. and the hundreds Of idle men
