EXPENDED FOR
IRRIGATION
President Will Urge Bond Issue
On Congress
POLICY OF ADMINISTRATION
Pledged to Roosevelt Plan But Must
Have Endorsement of National
Legislature

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 29.-Presi-
dent Taft yesterday delivered In Spo-
kane his anticipated speech on the
conservation of natural resources and
outlined the policy of his administra--
tion on this subject.
Mr.. Taft broadly took the stand that
while the present administration was
pledged to follow out the policies OF
Mr.. Roosevelt, such thing does not
involve him in any obligation to carry
out these policies without congress
ional authorization. The president
added, however, that he would take
every step and exert every influence
on Congress to have it enact legisa-
zion which would best subserve the
purposes and requirements of the sit
uation.
President Taft created much enthu-
siasm when he announced that he
would urge on Congress the necessity
of authorizing the secretary OF the In
terror to issue S10000,000 bonds for
the completion of irrigation projects,
on which work is suspended because
of lack of funds and failure of the
projectors to observe the limitations
of the reclamation act.
Hardships have been worked on
many settlers through the suspension
of work and Senator Borah OF Idaho,
and other western senators and repre-
sentatives have urged on the presi-
dent that bond issue was the only
way by which justice could be done.
Mr.. Taft declared that Congress
did not intend that the government
should undertake projects which
could not be currently paid for out OF
the proceeds of the sales of public
lands but added that he had been i'm
pressed during his visit to the West
with the necessity for immediate re-
lief

FIRE IN WooDFoRD
Dennis Pratt's House in Woodford
Hollow Burned

The dwelling house owned by Den
mis- Pratt in Woodford Hollow was de
stroyed by fire Tuesday evening.
When first discovered by those liv-
ing near, fire was belching out of the
windows in great sheets of flame, so
it was impossible to save the struc-
ture by the bucket brigade.
Last spring Mr. Pratt moved his fam
lily onto Mr. Hills farm near the
SALISBURY line, so there was no one
living in the house.
A back door was found broken open
where evidently the incendiar ygot in
to light the fateful match. The loss
is quite heavy for Mr.. Pratt and fam
lily, although there was an insurance
on the house. The barn was saved.

take charge of the instruments will
which he had made mis- observations
at the Pole.
There were three cases, one con
tanning sextant another an artific
ial horizon and the third an instru
ment which Mr.. Whitney said he
could not recall. 1t possibly might
have been a chronbmeter DR.. Cook
left no written records with Whitney
that Whitney is aware of. There
may haye-been some records, how
ever, in the other boxes, in which
Cook packed his clothes and his per-
sonal effects, but Cook did not tell
Whitney specially that he was leav-
ing any written records with him. Mr.
whitney was very positive about this.
New York, Sept. .29.-Dr. Cook when
shown Mr. Whitney's statement made
at st. Johns last night said that he
entirely approved of all that Mr..
Whitney had said Everything in the
Interview is substantially correct"
said DR.. Cook. 1T confirms all my
declarations"
With reference to the written in
structions given to Murphy, the boat
swain. by Commander Peary, Dr.
Cook said: "1he written instructions
handed to the illiterate boatswain
Murphy were worded very ambiguous
ly. as Mr.. Whitney affirms: but | will
not comment on them now. Let Mr..
Peary publish them"
Concerning the papers left with Mr..
Whitney, DR. Cook said: Mr. Whit
ney was in all probability unaware of
the written records being with him.
They are not of much importance as
| nave duplicates. AS to the instru-
ments, his statements are correct.
There was sextant and an artificial
horizon, and the third case contained
two compasses. ! have the watch
here.
The whole story as to my not going
far north is based on the reply gave
to Murphy when he asked me one
day: Have you been farther than 81
north?' | answered: Yes, much far
Their north But gave no other in
formation to Murphy. and Mr.. Whit
ney stuck to the original idea and
would not let Murphy know.
The Eskimos did the same. They
had promised me not to disclose what
| had done"
