Iatitude 81. In 1694-5 he reached the
seventy eighth parallel on the west
Greenland coast. In 1850 he went to
between the seventy ninth and eighth
eth parallels on the east coast OF Ells-
mere Land. In, 1900 he reached the
eighty second parallel on the east coast
of Grinnell Land. In 1866 he skirted
the north coast Of Grinnell Land ana
made an attack on the pole from Cape
Moss. This was the expedition which
reached what was at that time "far-
thest north"
The earlier work Of Peary was a.
rected toward a more complete survey
of Greenland than had ever before
been attempted. This was the essen
tial aim of his work prior to 1898.
When he started for the arctic that
year it was with the purpose of trying
for the pole. He spent four consecu-
tive winters in high ATTITUDES. first on
one side of the channel and then on
the other, but when he came back IN
1902 he had not fully accomplished all
he wished One great trouble was that
he could not force his ship far enough
north to establish winter quarters
where he wanted them. From the VI
cinity of Cape York to the north end
of the passage along the coast or
Greenland the distance is about de-"
grees, or $50 geographical miles.
The next winter and spring QS99-
1900 he used Fort Conger as his base
and crossed over to Greenland and fol-
lowed a route previously traversed In
studying the coast. In latitude So de-

ped for such an expedition, and the ex-
plorer was confident of success.
'''If 1 have ordinary good luck he
said just before his departure, my
friends in New York may take it for
granted that will make my final dash
during the coming winter. If should
reach the pole in the winter Of 10000,
which is the hope of my life, you
will hear Of my triumph between Aug.
Is and Sept. Is, 1909"
The explorer arrived at Cape York,
Greenland, July 81, 1908. On Aug. II
the Roosevelt was at Etah, which
point she left Sept. 26. He had good
supply Of Eskimos, dogs and provi-
sions.
The last word from Peary prior to
his message was received Oct. Z, 1908,
from Harry Whitney, wealthy resi-
dent Of New Haven, Conn.,, who was
left by the expedition at Etah in charge
of Peary's provisions. He said that
the Roosevelt left Etah on Aug. IS on
its northern journey.
Some idea of the course the explorer
took may be gained from his plans as
he outlined them before his departure.
His idea was to reach the pole by the
'American route" way which he
himself had studied and developed
during his former expedition. The adj
vantage of this route is that it allows
a base of supplies approximately 100
miles nearer the goal than the Spitz-
bergen case, its chief rival.
The advantages Of the route ap-
peared from Peary's trip in 1905 when
he attained the northernmost point
hitherto reached by man-87 degrees
6 minutes at the forty-ninth meridian
Of west longitude. This was on April
q. The commander on his present
expedition hoped to follow the path
taken three years ago. =
Caught In ice Drift. -.
=, Comparatively smooth travelling he
then found until he reached latitude
S. degrees 10 minutes There he en-
countered terrific storm which held
him prisoner while the ice drift ear
ried him seventy miles to the east.
These handicaps and the constantly
widening lanes of water and increas-
ing roughness Of the fee, together with
a threatened failure Of supplies, forced
Peary to turn back on April u, when
be had reached latitude 81 degrees 6
minutes. TO have gone further would
have meant sure death by starvation.
AT this point Peary put up flags and a
brief record OF his achievements and
started back for Cape Morris Jesup.
Concerning further plans for his adj
vance on the pole. Peary said: s'

grees so minutes, after leaving the
land, he encountered a broad streak Of
open water which could not be crossed
He then turned back. In April, 1901.
he proceeded from Fort Conger in n
northwesterly direction toward Cape
Hecla. This was to have been his
point of departure from Grant Land.
His dogs gave out before he got there,
and third spring was permitted to
pass without improving the opportu-
nifty so temptingly at hand. In 1902
the latter programme was repeated.
with little better fortune. Peary actu-
ally got out of the ice fifty or sixty
miles from the ocean. On April Fl he
was In latitude "a degrees IL minutes,
the highest attained on this side of the
pole BE then found so many openings
in the ice, however, that a further ad-
vance was foolhardy. =
That Commodore Peary had very
clear idea of what the discovery Of the
north pole would mean to the discov-
erer, the country he represented and
to men of science is indicated by q
statement he made on the eve of his
last expedition. He said:
1.-THE attainment Of the pole spells
national prestige. For three centuries
some of the best men in the best eoun-
tries have devoted their lives to this
quest and without success. The con-
quest of the north pole Is the last great
geographical prize which the world
has to offer to adventurous man. For
that reason I feel by every right that
this great country Of ours should be
the winner. Once won there will be no
future challenge. To the first conquer
or belongs the spoils and the glory.
Entirely regardless Of any intrinsic
value, the discovery Of the pole Will be
as distinct milestone in the history
of the globe as was the discovery Of
America by Columbus. Fas;fsrr'5
"The efforts which have been car.
ried on for the past 800 years 10 find
the pole have resulted In securing q
very large amount Of scientific mate
rial and information and Of greatly
widening " our gecgra phical horizon.
Still more important information is yet
to be obtained from the remaining
great unexplored area and particularly
in this case in connection with the
polar sea, the photography of which is
entirely unknown: And yet, without in
any way desiring to detract from the
value of such work and results, I feel
that the great meaning Of this con-
quest lies not in these. It is rather q
matter Of national sentiment, and the
fact that the north pole is a trophy
which the proudest nation in the world
will be glad to win and wear looms
very large to me-" /.

make this lead-that is, the eighty
fourth parallel-instead of the north
coast of Grant Land (SS degrees north
latitude), my point Of departure, with
fully loaded sledges. If this is done
it will shorten the route by nearly 100
miles and distinctly simplify the
proposition.
ION the return march in the next
expedition probably shall do volun-
tarily what did involuntarily last
time-that is. retreat upon the north
coast of Greenland "a course diagonal
" with the set of the ice) instead of
attempting to come back TO the north
coast of Grant Land (diagonally
against the set of the ice).
Features of Plan.
1.-THE main features of my program
are, first, the utilization of the Smith
sound, or American route. This
must be accepted today as the best
Of all possible routes for a determined.
aggressive attack upon the pole.
"Second.-The selection Of a winter
base which commands q wider range
of the central polar sea and its sur
rounding coasts than any other posi-
bic base in the arctic regions. Cape
Sheridan is practically equidistant
from Croker Land, from the remain
ing unknown portion Of the northeast
coast of Greenland and from my Near
est the Pole Of 1905.
@Third.-The use Of sledges and Els.
kimo dogs. Man and the Eskimo dogs
are the only two machines capable of
such adjustment as to meet the wide
demands and contingencies OF arctic
travel. Airships, motor cars, trained
polar bears, ETC., are all premature,
except as a means Of attracting pub
lie attention.
"Fourth.-The use Of the hyper
borean aborigine 4{the Whale sound
Eskimo) for the rank and file Of the
sledge party. It seems unnecessary
to enlarge upon the fact that the man
whose heritage is life and work In
thatvery region must present the best
obtainable material for the personnel
Of serious arctic party" III Z
His Previous Record. =. 80,
Commander Peary has stood in the
foremost ranks OF arctic explorers for
nearly two decades. He was born at
Cresson Springs, Pa, In May. 1855. He
entered the navy In 1881. His first
polar experience was acquired In 1885,
when he made Reconnaissance Of
the Greenland inland Ice. In June,
1901, he sailed from New York on the
Kite and, making his headquarters at
Mccormick bay, on the west coast Of
Greenland. penetrated as fai north as

eral Hitchcock recent order, raising
the price Of registering letter from ,
cents to 10 cents will have the effect he
expects. The registry division of the
Post-office Department has been running

increase will make the division self'sus

To the increase in money order Offices
which has been rapid in recent years

of the registry division to be operated
at profit. In addition to this express

are more numerous throughout the
country than they have been in the past.
Persons who formerly registered a re-

now write check, put it in an envelope

so doing they save themselves trouble

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

There are some cheering indications
that the operation of the big railroads
is becoming so systematized that rail
way travel is not the menace TO human
lite that it has been in the past. The
Chicago and Northwestern railroad dur
ing the fiscal year that ended June 80
last carried total of 27,000, 600 people
without single fatal accident. 1t is
the first road to report so clear record
for the current year, although two 9th
er large roads made similar report for
the calendar year of 1908, the Burlington
and the Pennsylvania.
The Chicago and Northwestern has
1,G11 miles of track the Burlington has
about g. 600; the PENNSYLVANIA about H.
600. That any one of three extensive
systems like these should be operated
for period of one year with no loss of
life is remarkable That the three of
them should show such a record speaks
volumes for the improved methods of
running trains that are now in vogue.
Block signals and double tracks are re-
sponsible in great measure for the re-
duction of Hazard. There has been a
general movement among railroads TO
ward stricter discipline, which also has
had its effect. There Is u tendency, too
TO better equipment and maintenance
The big systems are using heavier rails
and the tracks are ballasted more effic.
iently than was the rule in former days.
Legislation State and national, has done
something toward reform
Discussing the report of the Chicago
and Northwestern, the Chicago Record.
Herald says
The number of passengers carried
safely by the Northwestern is equal to
nearly one third of the population of the
United States, and equal to the popula.
ton of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Massachusetts and Indiana. In these
States the accident statistics show n
constantly increasing number Of fatal
ties among people who are carrying on
their avocations. Accordingly, while
fatalities In all other lines of business
seem to be on the increase, not only in
these States, but throughout the United
States fatalities in connection with the
conduct of the railroad business seem to
b. on the decline.
