We hpve been asked repeatedly as to
what had become of the North Fork
road proposition and are sorry to sa,
that nothing whatever is known as to
The present status Of this project. II
was understood that some two Thousand
dollars nGd been secured in addition to
the amount remaining in the state
treasury last year. There is quite a
little curiosity as to What was done with
the niouey un hand Tor this road con
-trucling us the amount was something
near three thousand dollars and il rs es
t,ma.ed that the work done on the road
last season could not have excee led u
Thousand dollars. There was also bill
allowed by the Legislature to the
amount OF eleven hundred dollars for
the relief OF the contractor on the road.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-10-20
%. ~

Here for the first time during the
entire journey, except as already noted
of Cape Thomas H. Hubbard, they
encountered open water. On this point
the boys were clear. emphatic. and I'M
shakable. They spent good deal of
time in this region, and finally aban-
doned their dogs and one sledge, took
to their boat, crossed HelPs 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 off, that is shortened it, as it was
awkward to transport with the boat,
and near here they killed a walrus.
The statement in regard to the fresh
elder duck eggs permits the approx
mate determination of the date at this
time as about the first of July. (This
statement also serves, if indeed any
thing more than the inherent straight
forWardness and detail of their nara
tive were needed, to substantiate the
accuracy and truthfulness of the boys
statement. This locality Of Cape Vera
is mentioned in Sverdrup's narrative
as the place where during his stay in
that region he obtained elder ducks
eggs.)
From Cape Vera they went on down
into the southwest angle of Jones
Sound. where they killed a seal; thence
east along the south coast of the
Sound, killing three bears at the point
noted on the map, to the peninsula
! 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 indicated on
the chart, and We're 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 pass
ing inside of two small islands not
| shown on the chart, but drawn on it
| by the boys). where they killed a bear;
thence across the broad blight in the
coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around
Cape Isabella and up to Commander
| Peary's old house in Payer Harbor
near Cape Sabine, where they found
seal cached for them by Panikpah,
