CITY
WATER HILL
SOLUTION OF VtXlNG PROBLEM
offered BY Councilman J. j. Miller
Says It's a Dream But That 1t
Offers Possibilities.

Here is a pipe dream, look out for
yourself.
The irrigation of several acres of
bench land on this side of Union Gap
hill is assured, if two or three phases
of the proposition can be worked out
One of them is the water supply, sec
ond the engineering feasibility of it
and the third the necessary consent
Of the government allowing il to be
done.
As far as the water supply Is con-
-cerned. excavators seem to have dis
covered sufficient amount right
under the city to supply water for
quite a bit of arid ,and All season
easements have been flooded and the
supply seems to have been quite in
exhaustible. This Is said to be an I'M
derflow of the river. A comprehen-
sive drainage system is believed to be
the only adequate solution of the prob
lem. John J. Miller says that mas
much as the Union Gap is $50 feet
lower than the site of the city, per-
haps capital might be interested in the
building of city drainage system in
order to secure sufficient water to ir-
rigate a tract of land on this side of
Union Gap bench, thereby relieving
very vexatious situation and the So
luton of which may cost a considera-
BILE amount of money.
Whether the scheme will appear
feasible enough to induce capitalists to
put money into 1t is a question, be-
cause the amount of water is at pres
ent unknown, though you could hardly
convince merchants along the avenue
that there is not enough to water the
whole reservation. The cost of such
an undertaking might be a serious
phase also. to say nothing of the gov
ornamental consent necessary because
the hill is on the reservation and the
interior department might enter some
objection.

DON'T WAIT FOR SUFFRAGE
BUT TRY TO MAKE
YOUR CITY BETTER

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 16.-
There's a woman here, Miss Harriet
May Mills, who has a good idea-one
worth thinking over pretty carefully.
1--WE women may not get to vote
today" says Miss Mills, cor tomorrow
Perhaps not the day after. Not for
several days.
"But there are plenty of things we
can do in the meantime. things that
will help prepare us for citizenship,
that will help make us worthy of citi-
zenship, and-more important-make
the men realize that we are worthy"
Get to work. Get to work on civic
problems, ahis is Miss Mills idea.
There are lots of things that are in
women's special sphere, she says.
Among such she mentions:
Better regulations for health, es-
pecially for children and consump-
tives.
Inspection of schools and better
sanitary arrangements there.
Crusade on the smoke evil.
Crusade against the billboard mon
strosisities.
Agitation of more parks and better
ones.
Improvement of city's milk supply.
Improvement of city's water supply.
Extending educational work as in
free text books. kindergartens, inspec-
ton of text books.
Work toward betterment of living
conditions in tenement sections.
Pure food regulations.
Work in connection with Juvenile
courts

What are all these things but
housekeeping and housekeeping ?"
Miss Mills asks. They mean do
ing the things for the city that each
woman does for that smaller city-her

CABIN BOY
BACKS COOK
IN NORTH POLE CONTROVERSY
william Pritchard of Roosevelt De-
clares He Knew Doctor Made Dis
covery Last April.

SYDNEY, Sept 20.-The tug Doug
lass II. Thomas. which left Battle Har-
Dor In company with the steamer
Roosevelt Saturday morning, reports
the Roosevelt travelling south at a
speed of 10 knots. she should arrive
OFF Sydney tonight. According to a
statement made Saturday by William
Pritchard, cabin boy and assistant
cook Of the Roosevelt, he and Harry
Whitney knew last April that Cook
bad discovered the pole. They saw
Cook at Annatook.
Pritchard explained ne kept the
news to himself because he did not
wish to be drawn into the controversy.
Askned how he knew there was going
to be one he said Cook cautioned him
not to speak anything about it until
they reached civilization. Pritchard
said Cook told Whitney regarding his
dash over the ice, indicating on a map
the route taken. Pritchard said he
was present in the room while the con-
versation was going on.
Conflict of Stories.
Pritchard said Cook had two Eski-
mos with him, but the language bar
rier made 1t impossible to talk with
them. John Murphy, boatswain of
the Roosevelt, who was at Annatook
when Cook arrived, was astonished at
Pritchard's knowledge. He talked to
Cook several times but he said nothing
about having reached the pole. Cook
limited his information to Murphy to
the statement that he passed the 87th
parallel. Murphy said Cook arrived
at Annatook, had two Eskimos and a
sledge but no dogs. Murphy later
asked how Pritchard could have heard
the story without Murphy having
heard it. Murphy said he had asked
Pritchard the same question and Prit-
chard told him 1t was one day when
Murphy was away at Etah. This state
ment was referred to Pritchard and
he identified the date when Cook told
the story to Whitney as being the one
when Murphy was away.
Peary Arrives Today.
Commander Peary will make entry
into Sydney Tuesday. The Roosevelt
was anchored off St. Paul's Island to-
day when the explorer found he could
not reach port. This is SIS miles north
of Sydney. News of Peary's probable
arrival caused a general cessation of
business here today. All manner of
water craft moved down the bay when
the agreed signal that the Roosevelt
that the Roosevelt was approaching
was heard. 1t was later found it was
another steamer.
Peary has given an emphatic denial
to the assertion credited to DR.. Cook
that he told the Eskimos at Annatook
that Cook was dead and that he conse-
quently would take possession of
Cooks supplies.
AS near as can be ascertained from
the Roosevelt's crew Cooks house was
found unoccupied when the Roosevelt
arrived. Francke, Cooks caretaker,
who was trying to get home, left on
the Erik after turning over to Peary
an inventory of the contents Of the
house and Boatswain Murphy was
placed in charge, many of the stores
being found broken open. This house
was later taken down and re-erected a
short distance away on higher ground.
When Cook returned he complained
at the removal of the house, but after
Murphy explained to him Cook APP
peared satisfied.
