officials have conferred with him rela-
tive to the proposed change in the
the crown, the first being the assist
ant superintendent, the second the su-
perintendent, both of Spokane. Next
came Mr. Case, of the Rich & Harris
Construction company, and he was
followed by Chairman c. H. White
man of the street committee, and he in
turn by Mayor Tausick and members
of the street committee. Without ex-
ception the burden of the song was
that the engineer give his consent for
a change in the crown, but all were
fatty and most emphatically refused.
In giving his reasons for refusing,
Mr.. Loehr said a raise in the crown
on an asphalt pavement would be dan
gerous for traffic during winter months
when sleet and ice are underfoot, and
he would not sanction such change.
Furthermore, he said the contractors,
under the present grade of inches
fall in Is feet, would be required to
give the asphalt surface more atten-
ton than would be the case with the
higher crown.

In view of the fact that water does
not drain off of certain recently i'm

by the contractor, a campaign has
been on foot for six weeks past to in
duce the engineer to give his permis-
sion to slight raise in the crown, but
this he has firmly refused. The de-

to stand out much more prominent

EXPLORERS AND SCIENTISTS
Present at Banquet Of Arctic Club In
Honor of Or. Cook.

Cheered by q crowd of a thous
ed the banquet hall on the arm OF
Rear Admiral Schley (retired), DR.
Frederick A. Cook told his story Thurs
day before the most brilliant audi
ence he has addressed since he left
Denmark. The banquet was given by
the Arctic club of America, of which
DR.. Cook is a member, IN recognition
of his last polar venture. While there
was no official representative from
either state or nation the assemblage
was cosmopolitan and enthusiastic.
Among those at the tables were ex-
ploTers, some Of whom knew the dan
gers and sufferings of the Arctic zone
almost as well as DR.. Cook himself.
Allen of science also were there, but
the explorer addressed himself prim-
arily to the great majority of his hear
ers whose interest in polar conquest
has but lately been aroused.
The address was not technical. He
expressed thanks for the honor ac-
corded him, reviewed the history Of
mans endeavor to attain the pole,
paid tribute to the loyalty of John r.
Bradley, the man whose money en-
abled him to undertake the expedition,
answered briefly a few charges that
have been made against him and re-
iterated that he unfurled the flag at
the pole on April 81, 1908. Command.

except at end Of his speech when he
said
There is glory enough for all, u
then 1t was that Peary's name min
gled with those of other explorers to
whom he referred with reverence.
DR.. Cook appealed to his hearers to
accept his narrative of his journey to
the pole as he has seen fit to give II
so far.
ut is as complete as the prelimin
airy reports Of any previous explorer,
he said. Heretofore such evidence
has been taken with faith and the
complete record was not expected to
appear for years.

Archibald Butt, military aide to the
president, has called a halt on the long
banQuets for the president and with
the dishes noted for the unpronounce-

The president so far as known, did
not object to what was to be had but
breakfast, luncheon and dinner, each
from an hour and half to two hours
and a half in length, were taking too
much time and Captain Butt wired
Secretary Carpenter asking that he re-
quest committees to make their eating
occasions simple In menu and quick

This request may bar the Creole
dishes at New Orleans and 'possum in

wire whether the president prefers
