letter from DR.. Cook TO Francke,
dated the seventeenth of March. The
two men rejoined the other four men
who had been left behind, and the six
returned to Anoratok. arriving May 2.
This information was obtained not
from the two Eskimo boys, but from
the six men who returned and from
Francke himself, and was known to
us In the summer of 1908, when the
Roosevelt first arrived at Etah. The
information is inserted here as supple
mentary to the narrative of the two
boysl.
After sleeping at the camp where
the last two Eskimos turned back, DR..
Cook and the two boys went in a
northerly or northwesterly direction
with two sledges and twenty-odd dogs,
one or more march, when they en-
countered rough ice and lead of open
water. They did not enter this rough
Ice, nor cross the lead, but turned
westward or southwestward a short
distance and returned to Heiberg Land
at point west of where they had left
the cache and where the four men had
turned back.
Here they remained four or five
sleeps, and during that time I-took-a-
shoe went back to the cache and got
his gun. which he had left there and
few items of supplies.
When asked why only a few sup
pies were taken from the cache. the
boys replied that only small amount
OF provisions had been used in the
few days since they left the cache.
and that their sledges still had all
they could carry, so that they could
not take more.
After being informed of the boys
narrative thus far, Commander Peary
suggested series of questions to be
put to the boys in regard to this trip
from the land out and back to 1t.
These questions and answers were
as follows
Did they cross many open leads or
much open water during this time?
Ans. None.
Did they make any caches out on
the Ice Ans. NO.
Did they kill any bear or seal while
out on the ice north of Cape Thomas
Ans. No
Did they kill or lose any Of their
logs while out on the fee? Ans. No.
With how many sledges did they
start? Ans. Two
How many dogs did they have? Ans.
Do not remember exactly, but some
hing over twenty.
How many sledges did they have
when they got back to land? Ans.
Two.
Did they have any provisions left on
heir sledges when they came back to |
and? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had |
about all they could carry, so they |
we're able to take but a few things |

 The letter says.

 Birmingham had not only the panic, but we had a coal strike that has lasted several months and a dry town too now and has been since the first of January 1907 and with all this we have held our own in business way as well or better than our nigh boring cities. There has just been completed a large six teen-story steel frame office building, an other of seventeen stories under construction two large con crete office buildings under con- struction with many other inn provements Of this character go i ing on. 1 believe we were the 1 third or fourth city in the Un- ited States last year in improve mentsp
 This is evidence that Prohibi- tion has not hurt us, but on the ether hand it has helped us in many ways morally. We are rid Of that class of saloon and street iOafers that hang around corners ana make remarks. Our ladies can now go on any side or any part or our business districts without coming Tn contact with this class of people.

We do have a few blind tigers and occasionally drunken man. but nothing like it was when we had saloons. My opinion is that it will be a long time before we have open saloons again, if ever.
