same details as did the first boy.
When he was through, Panikpah,
the father of I-Took-a-Shoo. very
intelligent man, was in the party OF
Eskimos that came back with DR..
Cook from the northern end of Nam
sens strait, who is familiar as hunt
er with the Jones Sound region. and
who has been in Commander Peary's
various expeditions for Is years,
came in and indicated the same loca-
tons and details as the two boys.
The first boy was brought in again
and with a pencil he traced on the
map their route, members Of our par
ty writing up on the chart where, ac-
cording to the boys statement they
had killed deer. bear, some of their
dogs, seal, walrus and musk oxen.
The second boy was then called in
and the two went over the chart to-
gether, the second boy suggesting
some changes as noted hereafter.
Finally Panikpah, the father, was
again called In to verify details OF
the positions of the route. with which
he was personally familiar.
The bulk of the boys testimony
was not taken by Commander Peary
nor in his presence. a fact that obvi-
ates any possible claim that they were
awed by him.
Certain questions of Independent
lines from the direct narrative of the
Eskimo boys were suggested by Com
mander Peary to some of us and
we're put by us to the Eskimo boys.
Still later, Commander Peary asked
the Eskimo boys two or three casual
questions on minor points that had
occurred to him.
During the taking of this testimony
II developed that Dr. Cook had told
these boys, as he told Mr.. Whitney
and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy
that they must not tell Commander
Peary or any of US anything about
their journey and the boys stated DR..
Cook had threatened them IL they
should tell anything.
Narrative of Three EslllmOs.
Thd narrative of these Eskimos
is as follows:

Kamela, the highest mountain rail-

After 25 years of service as a help

LOWELL ADVISES
EXAMINATION OF WATER
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
With reference 90 the meeting of
the Commercial Association last eve
ming and its discussion of the munici-
pal water supply permit me to sug-
gest that it would be a fit proceeding
at this juncture for the water COM
mission to employ a competent chem
ist and bacteriologist and cause
thorough examination of the water,
its source, and the gravel through
which it percolates, to be made. If
the same results in a demonstration
that the water supply is pure certain
" the city is in no financial condition
TO pay for a new system. If it is not
pure and the public health is en-
dangered thereby, the cost ought not
to be considered. but new source
and supply obtained without delay.

Cayuse, the springs at Thorn Hol-
low and the north fork of the Una
tilla.
Judge Lowell.
Judge S. A. Lowell was the next
speaker and he took the stand of Mr..
Taylor, that the city could not afford
10 incur the extra Indebtedness at
this time. He also declared himself
opposed to the proposition of a mu-
nicipal lighting plant in connection
with a water system. He expressed
the belief that cities cannot success
fully conduct lighting plants. Judge
Lowell ended by moving to refer the
matter to the water commission with
power to report when they considered
fit.
Judge James A. Fee.
Judge James A. Fee, also mem
ber Of the water board differed to
an extent from both his colleagues up
on the water board. He declared
himself favorable to a gravity water
system, but said he considered 1t un~
wise at this time to increase the bond
ed indebtedness to the extent that 1t
would be necessary should the city
get water from the north fork or from
Thorn Hollow. He was not opposed
to the plan for securing water from
the spring near Cayuse. Judge Fee
also differed from some Of the pre-
cedlng speakers upon the subject OF
the towns growth. He declared the
postal receipts and also the receipts
of the water commission showed that
the city is not losing in population.
J.P. Winter.
Attorney J. p. Winter spoke brief
ly upon the subject and declared
himself In favor Of securing a gravity
water system II the present supply
is poor In quality. He called upon
DR.. c. J. Smith for an opinion upon
that point.
DIR. o. J. Smith.
In response DR.. Smith told Of the
various tests that have been made d
the Pendleton water. One of these
by a brewery expert declared the
quality TO be almost unsurpassed.
However, the doctor said physicians
generally advised boiling Of the wa

GRAND JURY BLAMELESS
IN RYAN MURDER CASE

To the Editor of the East Oregonian:
Dear Sir:-Since the dismissal of
the Ryan murder case, owing to an
error in the name Of the man killed,
several members Of the grand jury who
indicted Ryan have been accused of
being careless in the matter, and the
impression generally prevails that the
blame rests with the grand jury for
the error in the name.
We wish to state that we have care
fully gone over our deliberations on
the above mentioned case and can
find nothing in them that would lead
to the error being made.
The indictment was drawn up by
the district attorney. and he supplied
the given name of the murdered man,
and the fact that it was wrong, can
in no way be blamed on the grand
jury.
