these boys. rs he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard. the cabin boy.
Peary or any OF us anything about
their journey. and the boys stated DR..
Cook had threatened them II they
should tell anything.
The narrative Of these Eskimos is
as follows:
They. with DIR. Cook. Francke and
nine other Eskimos. left Anoratok.
crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine,
slept In Commander Pearys old house
in Payer Harbor. then went through
Rice strait to Buchanan bay. After

side Of Ellesmere Land.
Their route then lay out through
this ford, thence north through Sver.
drup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nanssn
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 Hell
berg Land Of Sverdrup). south Of
Cape Thomas Hubbard.
A cache was formed here and the
four Eskimos did not go beyond this
point. Two others. Koolootingwah and
Inuxhito, went on one more march

THESE two Eskimos brought back
a letter from DR.. Cook to Francke.
dated the seventeenth Of March. The
two men retoined the other four men
wbo had been left behind. and the six
returned to Anoratok. arriving May 4.
Tbio Information was obtained not
from the two Eskimo boys, but from

Erorcke himself, and was known to

After killing the deer they then trav.

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 Gra'

Gate and Simmons peninsula.
Here for the first time during the
entire journey, except as already
noted of Cape Thomas II. Hubbard.
they encountered open water. On this
point the boys were clear. emphatic.
and unshakable. They spent good
deal of time in this region. and finally
abandoned 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 of. that is shortened 1t. as II
was awkward to transport with the
boat, and near here they killed wal.
rus.
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 PENN
sula 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 indt
Gated 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;
passing inside 0f two small islands

After being informed Of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested a series Of questions to be
put to the boys In regard to this trip
from the land out and back to Il.
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this timer
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the iee7 Ans. No.
With how many sIedses did they
start7 Ans. Two.
How many dogs did they have7 Ans.
Did not remember exactly. but some
thing over twenty.
How many sIedses did they have
when they got back to land7 Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
their sledses when they came back to
land? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had
about all they could carry, SO they
were able to take but few things
from the cache.
From here they went southwest
along the northwest coast Of Heiber9
Land to a point Indicated on the map
(sverdrup's Cape Northwest).
From here they went west across
the Ice, which was level and covered
with snow, offering good going, to a
low island which they had seen from
the shore Of HeIberg Land at Cape
Northwest. On this island they
eamped for one sleep.
From this island they could see two
lands beyond (sverdrup's EiIef Ring.
mes and Amund RInsnes lands). From
the island they Journeyed toward the
,eft.hand one Of these two lands
(Amund Rinses Land), passing q
small island which they did not visit.
Arriving at the shore Of Amund
Rinones Land, the Esklmos killed .
deer az indicated on the chart.
The above portion Of the state.
ment Of the Eskimo boys covers
the period Of time In which Or. Cook
claims to have gone to the pole and
back, and the entire time during
which he could possibly have made
any attempts to 90 to Il.
II II Is suggested that perhaps Or.
Cook oot mixed and that he reached
the pole, or thought he did, between
the time Of leaving the northwest
coast Of Heibero Land at Cape NORTH
west. and his arrival At Rinones Land,
where they killed the deer, we must
then add to the date Of Or. Cooks let
ter Of March 18th, at or near Cape
Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four
or 1--WE sleeps at that point, and the
number Of days required to maren
from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape
Northwest "a distance OF some sixty
nautical miles), which would advance
his date Of departure from the iand
20 at least the 25th Of March, and oe
prepared to accept the claim that Or.
Cook went from Cape Northwest
(about latitude eighty and halt DC.
arees north) to the POLE a distance o.

Hard to Kill.

A distinguished entomologist, J. C.
Warburg. writes: when / was still
new to collecting, In the south Of
France I discovered one day, to my
great joy, large female Of Saturnfa
pyri hidden away in some bushes. The
specimen was the first | had ever
caught, and / decided, on account OF
it's large body, to stuff 1t "a quite IN
necessary operation; I have kept doz-
ems since unstuffed). The moth was
first apparently killed by being forced
into a cyanide bottle, where it was
left about an hour. The abdomen was
then emptied and the cavity filed
with cotton wool soaked in saturat-
ed solution Of mercuric chloride. The
insect, pinned and set, was discov-
cred next day attempting to fly away

STATE FAIR IS
GIVEN A BOOST
Plans to Make 1t Best in
United States.
SOLONS ASKED TO HELP

Bill Which Assemblyman Brew Has
introduced in the Legislature Calls
for an Appropriation Of $25o,0oo for
Permanent Improvements in the
Way of New Buiidings-What Presi-
dent Mckerrow Says of the Matter.
Madison, Wis, Feb. 15.-If bill in
PRODUCED by Assemblyman Brew passes
the legislature the state fair grounds
at Milwaukee will be the best equipped
in time of any in the country. The
bill in question calls for an appropria-
ton of $250,000 for the state board of
agriculture for such permanent i'm
provements in the grounds as will
meet the requirements of the fair. 1t
is desired that $4,000 shall be availa-
BILE this year and 100000 the two sue
ceeding years. 1t is intended to use
this money in the erection. of new
grandstand of steel and concrete, a
new dairy building, new machinery
building, and new speed barns, taking
the barns away from the present
location.
In speaking of the bill President Nc
Kerrow of the state board said that
it was Milwaukee idea. 1--WE had
decided to ask for $187 ,000," said Mr..
McKerrow, "for such improvements as
are absolutely needed. Among these.
are a new machinery hall and a new
dairy building AS Wisconsin is one
of the greatest dairy states in the
union it should certainly have good
dairy building at the state fair The
Milwaukee men who have done so
much for the state fair talked the mat
ter over with Mr.. MacLaren, who is a
member of the sta e board, and others,
and suggested that an appropriation
extending over three years ought to be
secured.
cat first it was thought 100000
should be asked for, but we decided to
ask for but $250,OO0. If this is given
us we will be able to erect a new
grandstand, something that is greatly
needed, as the present stand is show
ing the effects of time. This would
probably be built by sections, one Sec
ton each year. 1t would cost when
completed 100000. Then we would ex-
pend $4,000 on a new dairy building,
and the same amount on new ma
chinery building. Then new woman's
and art building is greatly needed and
it is planned to spend $50, 900 for that
1.-THE bill introduced by Assembly
man Disch appropriating $4,000 for
more land would enable us to add to
the present grounds on the east. It
is desired to place new speed barns on
that side, where they will be away
from the sight of everyone entering
the grounds. The section of the
grounds now occupied by the speed
barns would then be parked and made
beautiful for the eye of incoming Wis
itors."
