New News Of Yesterday
How Arctic Grinnell Land
Got Its Name
BY Holland.

William W. Grape took with him
when he went to Congress in the
latter part of President Grants sec
ond administration such a reputation.
both as a lawyer and as a business
man, as caused him to be conspicu-
Gus among the new members of the
Lower House. Mr.. Grape was born
at New Bedford, Mass, and through
all his various business activities,
some of which identified him with
important railway enterprises in the
West, he maintained his legal resi-
dence in that city.
His early associations at New Bed
ford we're with some of the older
men, who, after having gained a fine
business experience in Eastern Mas
sachusetts, went to New York City.
where their successes In business
were such as to give them national
reputation as we'll as fine fortunes.
Mr. Grape was conspicuous per-
sOnally among the members of the
House because. in spite of the fact
that he became a member OF that
body when only forty-five years of
age, his hair and beard were pre-
matureiy white. He mad acquired the
art that makes it possible to COM
bine simplicity with something like
elegance in dressing.
II was my good fortune to have
several conversations with Mr.. Grape
In the year 1881, and he told me many
interesting facts associated with
some of the ADLER business men of
New York who we're born in Eastern
Massachusetts and who had their
first business training there.
I happened to mention to Mr..
Grape one day that I bad been told
by DR.. Isaac Hayes, who was asso-
ciated with DR.. Kane ia the Sir John
Franklin expedition, that Henry
Grinnell, in one way OF another, gave
a good deal more than the $4,000
which. by common report, he had
contributed toward the expenses of
the first Kane expedition.
81 think that was pTobable," said
Mr.. Grape. "Mr. Grinnell was a man
who would not balk at any expense
within his means, If he we're deter
mined to carry out anv project.
you probably know that Mr.. Grin
nell was a native of New Bedford.
He was one Of thar able group Of
business men who, in early life, went
from Eastern Massachusetts to New
York and there set the pace for the
business life of that city.
Il can tell you something that. is
not generally known about Mr.. Grin
nell's association with tho Kane ex-
petition. In his early life Mr.. Grin
nell was engaged in the whaling
business. which. when he was a
young man, was extensively carried
on from New Bedford. He was fond.
when a whaler returned from a long
voyage, Of talking with the skipper
or any Of the sailors. He wanted TO
learn about their experiences, and
was especially interested if any of
them were able to tell him of dis
coveries of islands or Of land which
had not before been put on the maps.
He was especially interested I'm the
yarns told him by sailors who had
been whaling in the arctic regions.
They excited his imagination. They
