HAVEN'T MUCH FAITH
 IN THE ARKANSAS
Civil Engineers Ire of tle Opinion That Our Stream Will Never
 Amount to Much.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 4.-Civll engineers who have recently been up on the Arkansas river, making close study of it's bed and current, are none too impressed with the possib1- lities of the stream ever becoming a factor in Arkansas commerce, no maj ter how light the boat, nor how mucl money may be spent in efforts to make it navigable. Frank Peters, aa old time railroad engineer, now a r;ember of the. railroad construction firm cl Ball X Peters, has luGt cofa- plcted i 2 day journey frol Little Rock to Newport ill a launch. It took him over week 10 get to Pine Blum from Little Rock, and two weeks more to get ta- White river, after which he made good time to his des- tination. It would take many mil- lion dollars to make the Arkansas navigable,' says MT. Peters, and then the work would have to be done all oyer again ill a very few years. At the present time there are hundreds of places i'll the river where the chan nel will not show q depth of one foot, This is 10 estimate with me, for took measurements, My boat dreS only tWo feet, yet had to tie up for days at a time in order to get over these places. While the water crop in the Ark nsas liyC\ is decid edly calm, the goose crop is fine. l never saw so many wild geese in my life as are on the sand bars of the river. There are thousands of them and they are not very wild either.

bushes; the Great Dane bounded out,
thought not as before to stand men

she was there near him.
"Oh, it's you, is it?" she said, coolly;

PEARY SAYS HE WAS THERE.
North Pole Explorer Gives Testimony
to Congress Committee.

Armed with what his friends declare
ample proof that he had been to the
north pole, Captain Robert K. Perry
appeared Saturday before the subcom-
mittee on private bills of the house on
naval affairs and submitted evidence.
He appeared in connection with the bill
for recognition of his services.
For the most part the members of
the subcommittee were convinced be-
fore he appeared that he had reached
the pole. But it was deemed best to
head off any charge ON the floor of the
house that his promotion had been rec
commended without consideration of the
evidence. Moreover, two members of
the subcommittee were well known to
be hostile to Pearys claims as an ex.
plorer-Representatives Moon of Ar
kansas and Roberts of Massachusetts,
MIR. Macon insists that if Peary be rec
ognized and promoted then DR.. Cook
ought to be.
In spite of this the feeling of the
committee generally is favorable to.
Peary and the opinion was expressed
among members of the subcommittee
that there was to be legislation for his
promotion along the lines recommended
by the president and secretary of the
navy. In the hearing Captain Peary was
subjected to close questioning by the
committee. He told in a frank and
manner about his polar
trips.
